Chapter 927 (1/2)
Roland had added two short telephone lines connecting his office with the coarrison and the Taquila survivors so that both stations could instantly contact him if the need arises Therefore, the castle, the camp of the First Army, and the Third Border City received the news almost at the same time
”This happened too soon” Pasha was a little doubtful ”Based on our experience, we should have had half a month or even a month before the demons would launch their second attack; especially for a city like Neverwinter since they can't arrive in one day”
”Why?” Roland asked
”Because they need time to let the panic spread By that time, no matter how the lord of the city tries to calht The second attack would crush the people's confidence and snuff out any re hope That's why they normally waited for some time before commenced the second attack” Pasha explained ”The demons seem a bit hasty this time”
”I see” Roland nodded Pasha was right In an ancient city, people were too busy working every day just to feed themselves every day In such a disconnected society incomparable to the one where Roland cah for the news to spread a the Rats and the patrons of a few taverns
Somehow, the old rumor seemed a bit y was so sihly unlikely for the them
”What are you going to do?” Alethea chimed in
”What else can I do? Just kill them all!” Roland said decisively Tied to add the new aiun squad they hastily asseets But since ie, had returned, they could now take the initiative to attack
Roland looked at Nightingale and the other witches ”Just follow the plan Re is”
”Safety Lightning perfectly understands!” The little girl raised her hand
”Maggie too, coo!”
”Don't worry I'll take care of these two little ones,” Nightingale said, s
”Who's the little one?” Lightning protested, raising her chin
”Of course it's you, coo”
”Why?”
”I'! Coo!” Maggie spread her wings
”That's not what I meant!”
The two hadn't even finished arguing before Nightingale picked the room
”I'll leave the defense task of the city wall to the witches of the Sleeping Island,” Roland said to Tilly
Tilly answered without hesitation, ”They'll do their best”
”Good Then I shall stand by the phone and wait for your good news,” Roland said and then commanded word by word, ”Move! Now!”
Pasha did not speak until Roland was alone in the room Her voice sounded serious ”Are you serious about this? The dee their mind once they spot so many witches, and they won't see Neverwinter as a city ruled by the common person but by witches They would then have completely different tactics in store for us”
