Chapter 1606: 1608 1608. Slight Delay

"Hmm? Did we stop?" Walker felt that the swaying of the ship had come to a halt. This was what had woken him up from his nap. The sudden change in how the ship had bobbed on the water as it went down the river was enough to call him out of his slumber.

Without any effort, Walker left the cabin that had been designated as a resting room and headed back toward the top deck. Seeing that there was no panic or hurry in the movement of the crew, Walker knew that there was not an emergency. There was also no one yelling out for people to move in to battle positions.

"What happened?" Walker managed to see Su moving toward the front of the ship when he climbed the last stair. It was a fortuitous encounter since Walker was sure that she had been resting as well up until now.

"I heard someone saying something about the river bank collapsing or that there were rocks ahead. It was not clear. It sounds troublesome." Since Su had minimal information, Walker didn't push for anything more. However, just this was enough to explain that they had come to a place where the earth and water mages would be working extra hard. That also meant that Walker should get in to the work as well.

"Ah good, I was just about to ask someone to find you. We have a bit of a blockage up there." Leon was the first to find them. It was clear that he had taken over main command while Scylla rested. It was a surprise that Leon had managed this let alone the fact that Scylla had actually rested at all.

"We heard a little about it but what is the exact…" Walker looked off the side of the shop and saw that the riverbank had become much taller. It was almost a cliff because of the landscape. There were hills that had taken this section of river over.

From what Walker could see, the river had been slowly but surely carving through these hills. So much so that they were able to carve enough away to cause a small collapse. It was just a perfect example of how nature flowed without anyone having to do anything.

"So we need to bring the rocks and the dirt out of the water or else we can't pass." Su finished what Walker was surely going to see. She could make out some large boulders that had been hidden in the dirt while the dirt itself was slowly being washed away.

The water mages in Genesis had used a large burst of water to help the ships along. They needed to do this so that the ships could make it to the deeper water. However, this had also caused the current to change slightly ahead of the ships. There was no doubt that this had caused the collapse in advance. Unfortunately, it was something they had to deal with. Although everyone was glad that it did not happen when a ship was passing by. It could have been many times worse.

"I have already asked the water mages to decrease the flow of water when the earth mages are ready. There will be an attempt at joint magic to push the entire river bank back. It seems to be the best case right now, if we do not there will be more collapses soon since it is weakened." Leon had made the right call. No one else could consider using another method since the imminent risk of a collapse seemed to be the focus of this issue.

The earth mages had already left the ship and were currently on the small lifeboats. They were prepared to jump out on to the shallow waters when the water mages forced the current back temporarily. If they could manage this and they jump back in to the lifeboats before the current returned, then they could work in cycles.

"If You want to hold the current back, It might be better to temporarily divert it. I know it would be tougher though. I just don't know how long this will take to clear. We might be caught by the second ship." Leon shook his head when Walker and Su suggested this plan of action.

"It would be better if they did catch up. Then we would be able to gain more assistance. We also would have more strength altogether. If they catch up we can also share the antidotes we have made with them instead of leaving supply crates at the marked positions of the route." The river was more or less mapped out. It was just the ability to travel through the water that was in question.

"Then we can be sure that things will go faster. But, what if I made a temporary ice dam?" The beavers that Leon had told Walker about were an inspiration. It was not something that most people would consider, however, it was a temporary solution that could do a lot for them.

"An ice dam would stop the water and also allow a short time for the earth mages to work. If I join the earth mages with my partner then we could work much better." Su was sure that she would be of assistance. Just having a grand earth spirit around to attract more earth mana would greatly increase the progress they would make in each cycle.

? "I like it. Having Walker and Su together would be a big boost in morale for every mage. They have been talking about all of you for some time. The guardian who can make earth shields at will and the all around mage with dragon wings. The normal gossip." Leon's small joke was enough to shake Su from her calm demeanor. Her face turned slightly red due to the embarrassment of a sudden compliment. She didn't like to think of how some people idolized her.

"The moment that the water mages hold the current back I will make an ice dam with the ice dragon domain. If Fleur and I work together we can force the ice to go one direction. It might be a little cold though." Fleur had already revealed herself from the spirit mark. She had sensed the goals Walker had. Unlike Fleur, Su and her partner were more reserved. It was very rare to see the new grand earth spirit leaving the spirit mark. Walker considered this to be because it was constantly consolidating mana to stabilize its new position.

Without hesitation, Leon began to grab the leaders he had assigned to the mages. He was sure that the change would go very well. It was also a bonus that the mages had just switched shifts and were well rested just like Walker and Su who had also taken their rest earlier. The only issue was that the sun was setting for the day.

The ship had been on the water and traveled a great distance without any issues. They had managed to go much further than expected but some of the members of the crew had exhausted more mana than expected. The switching of day to night would bring other challenges, especially to this sort of situation.

The dark would make it harder to move the earth but could also hide the dangers around the ship. On top of that, new monsters would be coming out to hunt in the darkness. It was very dangerous at night compared to the day.

"I will not let you sit in the shadows. I have enough control of the light to ensure that the fading sun is not an issue. If I am to guide all of you, I must exert a little of my strength." Without so much as a warning, Rise had drifted lower to hear what was going on. She was unhappy that they had stopped, but if the ship had been damaged it would be a greater insult to the dragons leading it. In her mind, it was better to be the guiding light for this slow point.

"Perfect, I was going to ask the mages who could create light to work through the shifts or the fire mages to try and create fireballs that could work as lanterns." Leon immediately praised the idea that Rise could light the area. It was going to do much more than what anyone else could do.

It would be different if they were just slowly moving along in the night. The ship had some magical lights set up that used the magical crystals as fuel. But that was just for spotting dangers and moving on the top of the deck. It was not for focused work. "All hands at the ready! We move to complete this project before the second ship catches up!" Leon had a new goal, hearing everyone's support.
