Chapter 187 Time For War

After the war council meeting was adjourned, Shiro immediately made her way to the roof of the highest tower and sat there with Yin.

Since they had some free time, Shiro wanted to go out of her way to make some extra defences.

*Tzzz!

Lightning flickered around her as she started to install a series of weapon cores onto the tower.

"What are you making mum?"

"A degraded version of the orbital cannon. Normally, I would have something to launch a core into the atmosphere that would expand into a satellite cannon before creating the 'pointer'. BUT, since I don't have the power to create the satellite yet, I'm going to manually become the pointer while this will become the long distance cannon." Shiro explained.

Once she converts the king's castle into a heavily fortified nanotech fortress, she could be more assured about the outcome of the war.

Spending the night to convert several towers, she saved a few towers to create a defence system for the cannons.

Naturally, the king didn't know any of this. No one could since the spy could be around every corner. She needed to be secretive about this.

Just as she was finished with the final defence, she saw the sky slowly brighten up.

"It's already morning?" Shiro muttered, clearly not expecting it to be sunrise this early. Even though she had been working on the defences for a while, there should still be 2 hours left.

However, it wasn't a sunrise.

Widening her eyes in shock, she saw a giant wave of lightning arrows rushing towards the kingdom.

"Everyone wake the f*ck up! We're under attack!" Shiro shouted out as she used mana to amplify her voice so that everyone could hear it.

Slamming her palms into the roof, Shiro pumped as much mana as she could into the defence systems. She didn't have the time she needed to draw mana from the surroundings so she could only fuel it with her own mana for now.

Resisting the pain she was feeling from her body, she continued to insert an outrageous amount of mana.

"Yin! Take this and point out where the enemy is located." Shiro shouted out while flicking a small device at Yin.

"How do I use this?" Yin asked with a serious face.

"When you see them, throw it at them. Remember, once you throw it, jump into the rift since I don't want to hit you by accident."

"Got it."

Quickly transforming herself back to a phoenix, Yin flew away.

*Kish! Kish! Kish!

While Yin was flying away, several mechanical structures started to extend from the towers and projected a huge barrier over the entire kingdom.

*BOOM!!!!!!

The impact of the attack against the barrier caused a miniature earthquake to hit the kingdom. Those who were still sleeping woke up instantly.

*CRACK! CRACK!

Several fractures could be seen spreading on the surface of the barrier as Shiro twisted her palm.

Following her gesture, the barrier started to rotate, throwing several arrows to the landscape around the kingdom.

*BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!!

Every arrow that hit the ground would cause a huge explosion that decimated everything within the blast radius. Looking at the damage, Shiro frowned a little after thinking about the casualties that they could have taken.

Looking down, she could see the soldiers scrambling around in a panic.

"Oh for f*cks sake." She muttered with a roll of her eyes.

Creating a magic circle, she combined
