Today I focused as much as possible on completing my mana creating plant. Even with the constant interruptions due to healing or recovering from the enemy’s assaults, which are happening more and more often. Yes, there are others capable of fulfilling those roles but none of them can do so on nearly as large of a scale as I can, we start losing this fight faster than we already are if I stopped.

And we are losing this fight, slowly but surely. Both sides are constantly harassing each other as much as possible. And we are able to keep pressure on them more consistently than they can keep pressure on us, but they have the upper hand in this fight so far. Yeah, we can heal anything short of instant death, but we don’t have many armors that aren’t made of plants, causing instant death is easy for them. And their armor is much better than the weapons we have available to us, we can’t kill them nearly as fast as they can kill us. And they are getting better at doing damage to us faster than we are getting better at damaging them.

If something doesn’t change soon this whole situation is going to spiral out of control as we lose more manpower than we can afford to. Luckily we have a necromancer and they don’t, which alleviates the issue somewhat but it isn’t enough.

The scholars are studying the enchantments hoping to try to find a way to counter them or too otherwise get around them, but who knows if they will figuring anything out. Tiddol and her teams are studying the substance their platform is made of hoping to find an easy way to destroy or otherwise damage it. On top of that, some of the smiths that learned in her lab are making weapons and armor, but we don’t exactly have a lot of metal laying around.

I tried asking the wielders of nuclear fire that brought in a shipment of nuclear waste to be destroyed if they could help, but we can’t afford to pay the cost of their power. It would destroy the heart of my forest, the first trees I planted, and it would destroy the entire town and kill many of our people. We wouldn’t be able to evacuate immediately beforehand as they would just scatter and trample through my forest before they could actually be exterminated without our soldiers there to suppress them.

Good news though, we managed to kill their main teleporter. They have others but none powerful enough to pull off the same type of teleportation that brought them here. Teleporting in dangerous potions or explosives will still be nearly impossible, but they can’t run away. They will be forced to fight to the bitter end, or surrender. At this point, I am hoping for the second option.

The corpse of the teleporter was retrieved, with all of his very valuable gemstones. Naturally, I added them to my own crown, I’ll need the storage for what I am trying to pull off.

Assuming nothing changes I’m not sure if we will make it the two more days I need to destroy their enchantments. Luckily my supernatural luck is holding with this project, every decision I make seems to be the right one, or at least close enough to dramatically narrow down the options.

Speaking of, I should get back to work.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
