The Catapults are inscribed too well. The attack Sam made took a lot of energy. There are tens of Catapults surrounding the city and only a few of them are activated for now. The flame is the buff provided by the catapult itself.

No matter what was placed in it, it would definitely have the same effect.

If Sam has to destroy each catapult, like this, he would be exhausted and he already drew attention from the enemies and the more he focused on the Catapults, the more he would be targeted. The troops are too many.

Only on this side of the town, there are around dozen Pre-transcendent stage cultivators.

In the whole town, there are no more than five dwarves who hit that level, and Sam and his friends comprised of six more. So, only one side of the troops is stronger than the town in terms of numbers.

Them along with the Catapults, if the dwarves really act like they are doing now, they would be in even deeper trouble.

At least, for now, not all the Catapults are active. There must be a reason for them not doing that. But it is currently for the best.

Sam went back to the commander and said.

"Don't let a single boulder cross that. In fact, concentrate all the attacks on the Catapults and the people working on it. Their armors and equipment are all superior. I need some artisans who are best at forging. Send them to Veer's house.

If soldiers catch the Grey flame, try to use the healers and ask them to either trap the vitality within the body and not let the flame burn it out. If they are not capable, either try to keep them alive until I come or just kill them yourselves."

Sam gave the instructions and went back to the house. Philip is not here, he also went to deal with the boulders.

He waited for the Dwarves to come and meanwhile worked on a design. It is not actually that complicated. In fact, it is extremely easy and direct design and he was finished within half an hour. By this time the Dwarves already came.

Sam gave the designs to them and said.

"Make these as fast as you can. But be precise. Make them as much as you can even use as many artisans as you can. Work throughout the night. I will be in the next room. Come on knock three times after you finish the first set. I will come and show you how to assemble them."

With that. Sam went to the next room and entered the divine dimension. He used his production unit inside to modify the production equipment. He has to finish the production equipment for the armors as soon as possible. If he didn't the dwarves wouldn't stand a chance.

He has a hunch on who the hidden enemies behind the Minotaurs are.

The liquid to kill the crops with death energy, the flames that turn living into undead. They don't belong in this place. But he remembered Old Beast's words, this realm is connected to another realm. The realm of the undead.

He wished that his hunch is wrong and went to work.

He didn't come out for three hours, which means he spent thirty hours inside and modified some of his production equipment.

Even though the full-body armor wouldn't be of the desired quality if he made them with these things, at least he would be able to make do with these things as they are at least produced fast fast.

He came out of the divine dimension and used earth element energy to change the structure of the house by eliminating some walls. He started installing some production equipment and said.

"Call for some humans and dwarves. They can be of low-level. But I need them to come immediately."

He ordered and went to work. He took some metal and heated it up and created a sizeable block before putting it in a pressing machine. The die has been changed, the metal block turned into a breastplate and there are some grooves that are in the six of quail egg at various spots.

Sam was satisfied with this.

While he was testing the machines for one last time, the Dwarves are finished with the first set.

This is actually a crossbow. But a large one. A normal crossbow will shoot a bolt that is a few inches long, but this one shoots a spear of seven feet long. That is the main difference.

The string is actually a metal wire and the loading and aiming would be done with the help of the gear mechanisms.

The most important thing is that there are many grooves on the body of the crossbow in the same way there are on the breastplate and other armor parts.

Sam showed them how to assemble and took out some spirit stones as he placed them in the grooves.

He even showed the armor to them and same way placed the spirit stones in. The crossbow glowed a bit.

Sam already recorded everything in a recording crystal and showed them.

"Start making them as fast as possible. There will be help coming in a few days. Install these stones in the armors too. After the other artisans come, let some of them make the spears." Sam said and took out a spear for the reference. He waved his hand and the assembled crossbow which is larger than a man disappeared and he took it to the city wall where the commander is.

The Catapults are still attacking and they are slowly unlocking other catapults. Now only Sam noticed that the Minotaurs are only defending the catapults they are not operating them. The humans are the ones doing the operations.

Sam didn't even talk to the commander and just placed the giant crossbow on the wall. It has been around four hours since he last came here and there are many craters on the wall. Even some places of the town are attacked and from the looks of it, they are unable to make all the boulders disappear before entering the town.

He even saw some guards attacking the Undead. Now only half of the Catapults are active. If the rest of them are also working, they would be done for.

Sam took out a spear and loaded it in the crossbow and turned a wheel to load and lock it, there is a swiveling joint making it easy to aim. He placed his hand and infused the spiritual energy inside to activate the formation.

A pattern appeared on the machine as the spirit stones glowed and energy flowed to the Spear.

This is the only way, Sam could think of increasing the energy of the attacks in a short amount of time. Since the dwarves cannot inscribe and their sense of formations is nil, he decided to make the design in such a way that he left the grooves in the positions of the formation nodes and the spirit stones placed there would be the nodes of the formation.

They will use their energy as a catalyst to absorb the energy of the atmosphere and the person infusing the spiritual energy and enhance the spear.

The spiritual energy will be in a turbulent flow all over the spear and no matter what elemental energy was infused, it would be a turbulent and forceful spear attack.

Sam infused the fire elemental energy and pulled level. The Spear shot out towards a smaller Catapult and created an explosion of flames at the point of contact.

The humans loading the catapult are also blown away by the explosion even though the formation was activated.

One could easily see that the formation was weakened a bit. Sam loaded another spear and shot at the same catapult.

This time, he used wind element.

The spear impaled itself into the formation and stuck there for a moment creating cracks in the formation.

The next shot was lighthing element and this time, the formation cracked. The fourth shot was made with the water element, it is like a jet of water cutting through the tree, the catapult's body broke in some places. The fifth shot was neutral spiritual energy and it broke the catapult in half.

Sam looked at the commander and said.

"Five shots for a small one. Maybe ten to twelve for a big one. It can also be used against some Pre-transcendent stage cultivators and the flying troops. I need all the artisans that know forging at Veer's hours, they have to make as many as possible.

You see those spirit stones, you have to load a new batch for every ten shots. I already shot five. So, be careful. I will be sending the machines one by one as soon as they finished and the sooner you send the artisans the sooner they will be ready.

I will go and help with that."
