Release that Witch - Chapter 41

[Chapter 41 The Evil Beast Appears]

Just like what Brian said, once it snows in Border Town, it won’t stop.

In one night, the town has been wrapped in a layer of white gauze.

In the early morning, the snow weakened, and a few scattered snowflakes occasionally fell in the sky, but the sky was still gray.

Thinking that he would not see the sun for several months, Roland felt a little unbelievable.

This is simply unreasonable, he thought, although it is strange to find common sense in a world where witches have magical powers, but how did evil beasts affect the celestial phenomena?

It’s a pity that he doesn’t have a weather satellite to tell him the specific distribution of the world’s cloud map.

Walking on the way to the city wall in the western region, Carter couldn’t help sighing: “The town is much deserted, and a group of guys have evacuated with the nobles.”

“That’s good, at least they won’t hold back,” Rolandha said whitely, “I’ve already arranged for Barov to conduct a census this winter.”

“what is that?”

“It is to go door-to-door to make statistics, how many people are left behind, what are the names of each family, and what occupations they are engaged in, and then register,” Roland explained, “In this way, whether it is deployment of human resources during wartime, Whether it is the payment of pensions after the war, it can be implemented quickly and effectively.”

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

“Oh?”

“In the past, although you would say some words that I couldn’t understand and do some inexplicable things, after all, these things were incompatible with the status of a prince. But now…” Carter paused for a moment, as if thinking about words, ” Whether it’s those weird training rules you set up, or the novelty experiments brought in from the alchemy workshop, the results are surprisingly effective. Maybe this is what my grandfather said, the superhuman is extraordinary because he can always see the ordinary A place that people ignore. I have a feeling that maybe you can really be the next king.”

“…Is that so?” Roland suddenly felt a warm current in his heart. Is there anything more fulfilling than being recognized by his subordinates after a struggle?

For a moment he felt full of strength in his hands and feet, and the gray sky was not so annoying.

Walking up the city wall, the militiamen were clearing the snow on the aisle. When they saw the prince appearing, everyone bowed and saluted.

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

“No trace of evil beasts was found,” Iron Ax answered him. “His Royal Highness, according to past experience, after the first snowfall, we still have a relatively stable period. During this period, the number of evil beasts is not large.” There are many, and most of the alienated ones are some weak animals.”

Roland nodded, “Then continue to be vigilant.”

The area behind the city wall has been transformed into a barracks. When the siren is not sounded, most people will rest in the camp to save energy.

The vigilance implements a rotation system. Considering the low temperature in winter, each team only patrols for two hours and then changes one round.

These measures were determined one by one by Roland.

He once asked Bryan, and learned that Longsong Fortress had no plan at all to resist evil beasts.

The most unlucky recruits will be sent to monitor the movements of evil beasts, and they will stay on the city wall for a whole day.

Therefore, laziness and running away occurred from time to time. In one winter, as many as 20 or 30 people were hanged for dereliction of duty or violation of military orders.

As for the discovery of the traces of the evil beasts, it was even more of a mess. There were no divisions of defense, and no one was assigned responsibility.

Thinking of the level of warfare in this era, Roland understood.

Extremely particular about personal bravery, emphasizing honor and robbery, even knights would charge on their own with enthusiasm, so it is better not to be too demanding.

Looking around along the city wall, everything seemed to be going well so far, but Roland found that he had overlooked a problem.

That is the boot block.

These obstacles still clearly lead the evil beasts to the middle of the city wall, but if what Brian said is correct, two to three months of snow will always fill up the obstacles.

At that time, any point on the 600-meter defense line may become the path of the evil beast, and his manpower simply has no time to take care of such a large area.

It was also impossible to send someone down to clear the snow. A few agile wolf-type evil beasts were enough to cause heavy losses to the team.

Maybe it still depends on the power of the witch.

For example, let Nightingale sneak out of the city with Anna, light a fire to melt the snow, and then sneak back—just like how she smuggled Nana from Pine’s house.

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

“Look ahead!”

Roland and Carter looked at the location he pointed, and a small black shadow crawled out of the snow and slowly moved towards the city wall.

“Your Highness, do you want to…” The hunter in charge of the defense turned his head and asked.

“According to the previous rehearsal, you should judge whether to blow the horn,” Roland said, “and at this point, you are more experienced than me.”

He hesitated for a while, and finally just pulled the string of the crossbow, and stood by the city wall to continue observing.

Roland nodded with satisfaction. So far, the order on the city wall has been maintained well.

UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com I just don’t know if they can quickly organize defenses according to the drill steps when a large number of evil beasts attack Border Town.

The black shadow gradually walked in, and when it was about 50 meters away from the city wall, Roland could already see the appearance of the evil beast clearly.

Probably a fox variant?

Its fur was gray-black, its eyes were red, and it came to the city wall panting white.

“This guy seems to have been eroded not long ago, so he’s not a big threat,” Iron Ax said while aiming his bow.

“You said they were all infected by the breath of hell and driven westward?”

“It’s not just westward,” Carter said, “When the gates of hell open in the wilderness, any place not blocked by the Impassable Mountains will be attacked by evil beasts, especially the big gap in the north. The Impassable Mountains that stretch here are like It was truncated, and the gap was more than ten miles long, and it was also the main direction of the evil beast’s attack.”

This frantic monster lingered under the city wall for a while, raised its head, grinned and let out a low growl at the people on the wall. Just as it was about to jump, the iron ax let go of the bowstring, and a sharp arrow accurately penetrated its neck. neck, nailing it firmly to the ground.

Roland noticed that the blood it bleed was black.

Why is it also eroded by the power of demons, the witch can retain its mind after awakening, but the beast will become frantic, and at the same time, the body will mutate?

If there is a chance in the future, I must go to the back of the Impassable Mountain Range to take a look, he thought.

In the memory of the prince, it is a forbidden place where human beings cannot set foot, and it is the place where the gate of hell opens.

However, since no one has been there, most of these rumors speculated from ancient books cannot be verified at all, and their credibility is doubtful.
