As Brian said, once the border town snows, it doesn’t stop.

One night, the town was covered with a white veil.In the early morning, the snow weakens, and occasionally a few pieces of snowflakes fall in the sky, but the sky is still gray.The thought that there would be no months before the sun, Roland felt a little incredible.

This is simply unreasonable, he thought, although it is very strange to look for common sense in the world of witches' magic, how does the evil beast affect the celestial?Unfortunately, he did not have a weather satellite to tell himself that the world's cloud map is now the specific distribution of the situation.

Walking on the way to the west wall, Carter couldn't help but sigh: "The town is a lot of deserted, or a group of guys followed the nobles to evacuate."

"Well, at least they won't drag their feet," Roland Ha said, "and I have arranged for Barov to conduct a census this winter."

“What is that?”

“It’s all about going door-to-door to do statistics, how many people are left, what’s the name of a couple of families, what occupation they’re going to be in, and then they’re registered,” Roland explains. “In this way, whether it’s the allocation of human resources in wartime or the payment of pensions after the war, it can be implemented quickly and effectively.”

“The human resources?”Carter blinked, then smiled, "Your Highness, you are really different from before."

“Oh?”

"In the past, although you would have said something I did not understand, and did something inexplicable, it was something that did not correspond to the prince's identity.And now...” Carter paused for a moment, as if to consider the words, “whether it’s the queer training regulations you’ve set, or the novel experiments that you’ve moved from the alchemy workshop, the results are surprisingly effective.”Perhaps this is what my grandfather said, the extraordinary is because they can always see the place that ordinary people ignore.I have a feeling that maybe you really will be the next king."

"...is it," Roland suddenly gushed a warm current, and what could be more fulfilling than being identified by his men after the struggle?For a moment he felt that his hands and feet were full of strength, and the gray sky was not so tiresome.

Walking up the wall, the militiamen were clearing the snow on the aisle, and when they saw the prince appear, everyone bowed down.

They should be taught to march, Roland thought, “How was the situation last night?”

"No trace of the evil beast is found," replied the iron axe, "Your Highness, according to past experience, after the first snowfall, we still have a relatively stable period."During this period, the number of evil beasts was small, and most of them varied from the weak animals.”

Roland nodded, "Then keep on guard."

The area behind the city walls has been transformed into a barracks, and most people will rest in the camp and save energy when the alert number is not sounded.The rotation system is implemented, and considering the low temperature in winter, each team only carries out two hours of patrol vigilance and replaces it.

These measures were all set by Roland.He had asked Brian, and learned that the long song fortress had no plan to resist the evil beast.The most unlucky recruits will be sent to monitor the movement of the evil beast, and stay on the wall for a whole day.Therefore, laziness and escape occur from time to time, and one winter comes down, and as many as 20 or 30 people are hanged for dereliction of duty or violation of military orders.

As for the discovery of the evil beast, it is even more a mess, neither divided into defensive areas, nor designated as a person.Thinking of the level of war in this era, Roland is also aware.Extremely pay attention to personal courage, emphasizing honor and robbery, even the knights will have a warm blood on their own charge of the era, or do not ask too much good.

Touring the city walls, everything seemed to be going well, but Roland found himself ignoring a problem.

That’s guiding the roadblock.

These obstacles still clearly lead the evil beast to the middle of the wall, but if Brian says it is correct, two to three months of snow will always fill the obstacles.At that time, any point in the six hundred-meter line of defense may become a route of the evil beast, and his human hands have no time to take such a large range.

It is also unlikely that sending people to clean up the snow is unlikely, and a few agile wolf-bred evil beasts are enough to make the team lose a lot of money.

You may have to rely on the power of the witch.

For example, let the Nightingale sneak out of the city with Anna, light a fire to melt the snow, and then sneak back - just as she stole Nanawa from the Pyne family.

At this moment, the observation post on the left side of the wall called up.

“Look ahead!”

Roland and Carter looked at the position he was pointing, and a small dark shadow crawled out of the snow and slowly moved toward the wall.

“Your Highness, do you say yes ...” The hunter in charge of the defense of the section turned his head and asked.

“You should have judged for yourself whether to sound the trumpet,” Roland said, “and at this point you have more experience than I am.”

He hesitated, and finally just pulled up the crossbok and stood by the wall and continued to observe.

Roland nodded with satisfaction, and for now the order on the wall was still well maintained.It is not known whether when a large number of evil beasts attack the border town, they can quickly organize their defenses according to the steps of the drill.

The shadow gradually entered, about 50 meters from the city wall, Roland can see the appearance of the evil beast.

Probably a fox variant?

Its fur was grayish-black, its eyes were red, and it came to the side of the wall with a breath of white gas.

“This guy doesn’t seem to be eroding for a long time, and the threat is not great,” the iron axe said as he opened the bow and aimed.

“You say they are all infected by the breath of hell and driven west to this point?”

"Not only to the west," Carter said, "when the gates of hell are opened in the wilderness, where there are no desperate mountains to block them, they will be attacked by evil beasts, especially the great gap in the north."The desperate mountains that stretch so far are like being cut off, and they are more than ten miles away, and they are also the main direction of the evil beast's attack."

The manic monster lingered under the wall for a moment, raised his head, grinned at the people on the wall, and was waiting to jump, the iron axe loosened the bow string, and an arrow accurately penetrated its neck and nailed it firmly to the ground.

Roland noticed that the blood it had shed was black.

Why is it that the same demonic force eroded, the witch wakes up to save the spirit, but the beast becomes mad, and the body changes?If you have a chance in the future, you must go to the back of the desperate mountains to take a look, he thought.In the memory of the prince, it belongs to the forbidden place that mankind cannot set foot on, and it is the place where the gates of hell are opened.However, because no one has ever been, these rumors that most of these speculations from ancient books have not been verified at all, and their credibility is questionable.
