Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2076: They move fast

Previously on Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure...
After emerging from a week-long lockdown in the workshop where he mass-produced weapons with Queenie, the protagonist convenes with the racial alliance representatives. He reveals the stirring of the forces of Destruction stems from a divine trial and provides a map of remaining elementals needing rescue to halt the invasion. To secure aid from hesitant smaller nations, he offers the weapons as incentives, prompting a rush of volunteers to supply soldiers for guarding the marked sites in exchange for early access to the armaments.

Just one day passed before all preparations were complete.

After getting ready, the various nations in the racial alliance sprang into action with incredible swiftness.

In particular, the smaller nations depending on the distributed weapons dispatched their troops urgently to collect them without delay.

These arms were vital for their nations' survival ahead, so they acted without the slightest reluctance.

Distributing these weapons proved no issue, as it was a joint effort harnessing the racial alliance's total might. With such vast resources available, delivery happened almost instantly.

Indeed, escorts were even assigned due to the weapons' critical importance.

This became feasible only because the racial alliance pooled the continent's collective resources. Absent that, far fewer helpers would have been on hand.

Ultimately, every marked spot on the map received protection.

While it might appear counterproductive to expose the elemental seals' locations, that wasn't true since the Destruction forces couldn't infiltrate anyway.

Seals at those sites blocked their entry entirely.

A massive array over the entrance barred all access.

The primary purpose was shielding the elementals from the Destruction forces intent on pursuing them.

Thus, unless something disrupted these arrays and exposed the elementals to the Destruction forces, the corruption energy couldn't touch them.

That's precisely why disclosing these spots posed no risk.

Should corruption energy approach, the equipped soldiers could repel it effortlessly with their new weapons.

"They sure hustle when their own interests are at stake." I muttered to myself upon reviewing the reports of events.

Yet, I too needed to act swiftly.

This mission centered on rescuing the elementals in peril, so dawdling wasn't an option for me.

Moreover, aiding the elementals promptly would calm the Destruction forces sooner.

With the elementals' traces resealed, they ought to stop agitating the Destruction forces—or so I figured from Solista's accounts.

However, the key motivation was...

"You need to wrap this up fast."

This verdict came from all my wives in agreement.

Each one acted as if I'd sparked this mess myself, making it my duty to fix it.

That's why they were practically shoving me out the door to handle it.

Though their urgency stemmed mainly from Dorothy's distress over it.

Despite reassurances that she bore no blame, guilt shadowed her features constantly. She obviously blamed herself for the widespread corruption energy.

Therefore, they pressed me to resolve it without delay.

The most straightforward approach was dispatching me to the affected sites to reseal the elementals.

Yet, it wasn't quite so straightforward, given the multiple sites and the corruption energy to confront.

Visiting any site and unsealing an elemental spot would undoubtedly trigger a response from the corruption energy.

Besides, satisfying each elemental's requests would consume time.

The final task involved replenishing the central rock pillar there, reviving the land for the rock elementals.

Though clueless about the other elementals' demands, I suspected they'd be no less demanding.

Nevertheless, they bluntly declared, "Don’t return until it's finished."

Harsh words for a husband, but their stern glares left me speechless.

Thus, I hurried to the initial site.

"You arrived swiftly." Came the greeting upon my arrival, drawing a wry smile from me.

Still, I skipped explanations and began searching for traces of divine energy.

Those traces would pinpoint the elemental seal in this area.

Unlike the barren zone sealing the rock elementals, this location brimmed with an eerie chill, devoid of warmth.

The air carried an unnatural frost, encasing everything in ice.

This ranked among the continent's forbidden zones as well.

Earlier, cross-referencing the map with the empires' charts showed all elemental seals in forbidden territories.

I couldn't fathom the reason, but it held no real significance.

Finding my target took little effort, as I knew exactly what to seek.

Unlike rocks marking the prior array's nodes, here icicles defined the points.

Even so, they responded identically when I unleashed divine energy nearby.
