Release that Witch Chapter 41: First appearance of Evil Beast
As Brian said, Border Town will not stop once it snows.
In the evening, small town has been covered with a layer of white veil. By early morning, the snow had weakened, and occasionally a few scattered snowflakes fell in the sky, but the sky was still grey. Thinking of not seeing the sun for months, Roland felt a little incredible.
This is simply unreasonable. He thought that although it ’s weird to find common sense in a world where witch has magic power, how does Evil Beast affect astronomy? Unfortunately, he does not have a weather satellite to tell himself that the cloud map of the world is currently distributed in situation.
On the way to the city walls of Western Region, Carter couldn't help but sigh: "The town has been deserted a lot, there are still a group of guys following the noble to evacuate."
"That's fine, at least they won't hinder," Roland said, "I have arranged for Barov to conduct a census this winter."
"What is that?"
"It ’s just going from house to house to make statistics, how many people are left behind, what are their names and occupations, and then register them," explained Roland. "This way, whether it ’s deployment during wartime Manpower natural resource, or post-war pensions, can be implemented quickly and efficiently.
"Uh ... manpower natural resource?" Carter blinked, and then smiled, "Your Highness, you are really different than before."
"Oh?"
"In the past, although you would also say something I did not understand and do some inexplicable things, after all, it was something that did not match the identity of the prince. And now ..." Carter paused for a moment, and seemed to be thinking about words, " Regardless of the weird training regulations you set or the novel experimental products you moved from alchemical workshop, the results are surprisingly effective. Perhaps this is what my grandfather said. Exceed is extraordinary because it can always be seen by ordinary people. Place. I have a feeling that maybe you can really become the next King. "
"... Really," Roland suddenly felt a warmth in his heart. Is there anything more fulfilling than being recognized by his men after the struggle? For a moment he felt that his hands and feet were full of energy, and the dark sky was not that boring.
militia team was clearing the snow on the aisle when they walked up the city wall. When the prince appeared, everyone bowed and saluted.
The marching ceremony should be taught, Roland thought, "How was situation last night?"
"No trace of Evil Beast's was found," answer is Iron Axe, "His Highness, according to past experience, after the first snow, we have a relatively stable period. During this period, the number of Evil Beast is not much , And the alienated ones are mostly weak animals. "
Roland nodded, "Keep on guard then."
The area behind the city wall has been transformed into a barracks. When no alert is sounded, most people will rest at camp to save energy. A rotation system is implemented for the vigilance. In view of the low temperature in winter, each team only conducts patrol vigilance for two hours and then changes one round.
These measures are all set by Roland. He had asked Brian and learned that Longsong Stronghold had no plan at all to resist Evil Beast. The most unlucky recruits will be sent to monitor the movement of Evil Beast, staying on the wall for a whole day. Therefore, laziness and escape often occur. One winter, as many as 20 or 30 people were hanged because of dereliction of duty or violation of military orders.
As for the Evil Beast trace, it was even more messy. It did not divide the defense section, nor assigned responsibility to people. Think of the level of war in this era, Roland will be clear. Extremely pay attention to individual bravery, emphasizing honor and seizure, even Knight will have **** days since the beginning of the charge, still do not ask too high.
Walking along the city wall, everything seems to be going well at present, but Roland found that it had overlooked a problem.
That's the guide barricade.
At present, these obstacles still clearly lead Evil Beast to the middle of the city wall, but if Brian is correct, two to three months of snow will always fill up the obstacles. By that time, any point on the 600-meter defense line may become the route of Evil Beast's, and his manpower has no time to take into account such a large range.
It is impossible to send someone to clear the snow. A few agile Wolf species Evil Beast is enough to make the team lose a lot.
May still have to rely on the power of witch.
For example, let Nightingale sneak out of town with Anna, light a fire to melt snow, and then sneak back to -- like she stole Nana from Pine Family.
Just then, the observation post on the left side of the city wall screamed.
"Look ahead!"
Roland and Carter looked at the location he pointed to. A small black shadow crawled out of the snow and moved slowly towards the city wall.
"Her Highness, do you want to ..." The hunter responsible for the defense turned his head and asked.
"According to the previous exercise, you should judge for yourself whether to play the horn," said Roland. "And at this point, you are more experienced than me."
He hesitated. Eventually, he just pulled the crossbow and stood by the wall to observe.
Roland nodded with satisfaction. For now, the order on the city wall is still good. Just don't know when a large number of Evil Beast attack Border Town, can they quickly organize defense according to the steps of the exercise.
The black shadow gradually walked in. About 50 meters from the city wall, Roland can already see the appearance of Evil Beast's.
Probably only Fox species?
Its fur is grayish black, its eyes are red, and it comes to the wall with white gas.
"It didn't look long before this guy was eroded, and the threat was small," Iron Axe said as he opened his bow and aimed.
"You said they were all infected with the breath of **** and expelled to the west?"
"Not only westward," Carter came over, "Gate of Hell will be attacked by Evil Beast's, especially north, where Impassable Mountain Range is not blocked by Man wasteland when it is opened. Impassable Mountain Range, which has been so far, seems to have been cut Generally, the gap is more than ten miles, which is also the main direction of Evil Beast attack. "
The manic monster wandered under the city wall for a moment, raised its head, grinned and yelled at the people on the wall, waiting for a leap, Iron Axe released the bowstring, and a sharp arrow penetrated it accurately. Neck, nail it firmly to the ground.
Roland noticed that the blood flowing from it was black.
Why is it also eroded by the power of demons, witch can save consciousness after awakening, but the beast will become frantic, and the body will change at the same time? If you have a chance in the future, be sure to take a look behind Impassable Mountain Range, he thought. In the memory of the prince, there is a forbidden area where humans cannot set foot, and it is the place where Gate of Hell is turned on. However, since no one has been there, these rumors mostly inferred from ancient books cannot be verified at all, and their credibility is doubtful.
