Chapter 9 Months of the Demons (Part 2)
“Notevery Months of the Demons there will only appear two to three hold would be in huge trouble”
“Well, you seem to be very observant,” Roland ordered the man to stand up and asked, “what’s your nadom of Graycastle”
“Half of e hails from the Mojin Clan, the townspeople call me Iron Axe”
Mojin Clan, the people frodom, located southwest of the barren lands, it was said that they were the descendants of giants Roland searched within his brain for any memories related to the Mojin Clan and realized that Iron Axe did not use the naiven by the people of Border Town, and apparently he did not want to have a relationshi+p with the Shadom As for why, since it was obvious that he was from the southwestern border of the desolate lands, he estimated, that there were a series of sad stories involved
But for the moment those stories weren’t iardless of his or her background
Roland clapped his hands, “That’s not why I asked you to be here, Carter, bestow each of them with ten silver royals, then they can leave”
“Thank you very hness,”said the three in unison
Afterwards the people were taken away by Carter When he had finished his task, Carter returned once again and asked, “Your Highness, why did you ask them these questions? Do you want to stay here?”
Roland didn’t express any opinion and instead asked, “What do you think?”
“This ht loudly, “According to the statement from the hunter, even a wild demon bear would be difficult to cope with Outside of fifty yards a shot with a crossboould have no effect; ould have to wait until it closed to forty yards, or even until thirty yards beforeour shot, only our elite soldiers can accomplish this Plus the de walls, only standing side by side with the local guards to stop them I’m afraid that the casualties would outstrip the accomplishments, our defeat would be assured”
“You already sahat a witch is able to do, so why do you can’t think positively?” Roland sighed
“This… The witches are evil, but Anna… Miss Anna does not look so, as your Knight Co for facts”
“If I would give you a city wall, would you think it will be possible?”
“What?” For a
“If I give you a wall, between the north slope of the mountain and the Chishui River,” Roland stressed every word he said, “Although they would not be like the enormous walls from Graycastle, but to stop animals, they should still be able to”
“Sir, do you knohat you are saying?” The knight didn’t knohether to be angry or to laugh, “Even your nonsense should have a limit, if you don’t stop, you will have to excuse my lack of manners”
“We still have three months, don’t we? I looked at the past records, the first snow usually falls here at the end of the second month from now”
“Even if we had three years it would not be enough! Building a ould requirethe foundation they have to compress the earth and every one or two feet would have to be reinforced; otherwise it would have a high risk to collapse This would be the siain and again,”brick and stone walls are even more difficult to build and it would need hundreds of masons ould first have to cut the stones or bake the clay into bricks Afterwards they would need to build it block by block Your highness, all walls were built this ithout exception A city being built in the tiends”
Roland indicated he had heard enough, “I see You don’t need to be so upset, if there is no reliable wall in place, I will evacuate with you to Longsong stronghold I’ive away my life in this place”
The knight knelt down, “I will protect you!”
