Looking out at his golems drawing magical circles, numbering about thirty or so, Christopher took a break from his bloody work with the animal sacrifices. While he had not sent them all out in force out of lack of true need to unleash one of his trump cards, it was gratifying to see some of his last eleven days of work and preparation being in use. Though he did note that there were some improvements to be made to his general baseline. While some of his… more “elite” golems were remarkably capable of follow extremely complex orders and were approaching the dream of “intelligence,” his base quality golems could only follow simple orders. He had to rely on his allies to inscribe the more complex formulae and circles.

It was a bit of a trade off, all things considered. The more complex they were, the more of a karmic burden they incurred upon him, and the lesser and more... "drone-like" they were, the more he could sustain.

Speaking of his allies… they were an odd bunch. He almost did not accept the invitation, as he was a fair bit warier of revealing some of his hand to those he had not met before.

But, an opportunity was an opportunity, and defeating a stronghold such as Troy was well worth the cost of revealing a few tricks. A magus who had sufficient time to prepare his ground and workshop within the Walls would become nearly unassailable to even the most powerful, and that would not even be considering he nightmare scenarios of say, a Caster, or heaven forbid, Hektor.. Without a doubt, the fortress of Troy, something that took the greatest heroes of the Achaean League ten years to crack, would be a nightmare to siege alone. 

He would have preferred to go after whoever had attacked half of Fuyuki with half a damned world, but this was more than acceptable target as well. Fortune favored the bold, and all that rot. And to be completely honest, considering his intentions for coming to this war…

His collaboration with Hamel Della Astrologia made it completely worth the effort, all things considered. He had not quite figured out what to do with the sample of the cursed fire he had obtained yet, but seeing the work of the Magpie of the Irish Sea gave him some ideas.

At the very least, Dido seemed to be excited as well, as soon as she heard the words of “destroying Troy.”
