Chapter 41 The first appearance of the evil beast

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 9
As Brian said, once it snows in the border town, it will not stop.

One night, the town was covered with a layer of white veil.

By the early morning, the snow weakens and a few pieces of snowflakes occasionally fall in the sky, but the sky is still gray.

Roland felt a little incredible when he thought that he would not see the sun for several months.

This is simply unreasonable. He thought that although it is weird to find common sense in a world where witches have magic, how did evil beasts affect the astronomical phenomena?

It’s a pity that he didn’t have a meteorological satellite to tell himself the specific distribution of the world’s cloud map now.

Walking on the way to the city wall of the West, Carter couldn't help but sigh: The town is much deserted, and there are still a group of guys evacuated with the nobles.

It's good that, at least they won't hold back. Rolandha is out of breath. I've arranged for Barov to conduct a census this winter.

What is that?

It is to go door to door to do statistics, how many people stayed, what names a household was, what profession they were engaged in, and then register them, Roland explained that in this way, whether it is allocating human resources during wartime or issuing pensions after war, they can be implemented quickly and effectively.

Uh…HR?Carter blinked and then smiled, Your Highness, you are really different from before.

oh?

In the past, although you would say something I didn’t understand and do something inexplicable, it was ultimately something that was inconsistent with the identity of the prince.And now... Carter paused for a moment, as if considering the words. Whether it was the weird training regulations you set or the novel test items brought from the alchemy workshop, the results were surprisingly effective.Perhaps this is what my grandfather said, the reason why extraordinary people are extraordinary is that they can always see what ordinary people ignore.I have a feeling that maybe you can really become the next king.

...is it?Suddenly a warm current surged in Roland's heart. Is there anything more fulfilling than being recognized by his subordinates after struggle?

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

Walking up the city wall, the militia was clearing the snow in the aisle. When they saw the prince appear, everyone bowed and bowed.

They should be taught to salute, Roland thought, how was the situation last night?

No trace of the evil beast was found, and the answer was the Iron Axe. According to past experience, after the first snow, we still had a relatively stable period.During this period, there were not many evil beasts, and most of the alienated ones were weak animals.

Roland nodded, then keep on alert.

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

The vigilance is implemented. Considering the low temperature in winter, each team will only undergo two hours of patrol warning and change it.

These measures were decided by Roland one by one.

He had asked Brian and learned that Changge Fortress was resisting evil beasts without any plan.

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

Therefore, laziness and escape occur frequently. In one winter, as many as 20 or 30 people were hanged due to dereliction of duty or violating military orders.

As for the discovery of the traces of the evil beast, it was even more messy. It neither divided the defense section nor assigned the responsibility.

Thinking of the level of war in this era, Roland also understood it.

It is extremely important to be personal brave and emphasizes honor and disaster. Even knights will have a passionate charge. It is better not to ask too high a requirement.

After patrolling the city walls, everything seems to be going well at the moment, but Roland discovered that he was ignoring a problem.

That is the guide roadblock.

These obstacles are still clearly leading the evil beast to the middle of the city wall, but if what Brian said is correct, the snow in two to three months will always fill all the obstacles.

By then, any point on the six hundred meters of defense line might become the route of the evil beast, and his manpower had no time to take care of such a large range.

It is unlikely to send people down to clean up the snow, and a few agile wolf-type evil beasts are enough to cause heavy losses to the team.

Maybe it still has to rely on the power of the witch.

For example, let Nightingale take Anna out of the city, light a fire and melt the snow, and sneak back like she stealthily takes Nanava from Pine's house.

At this moment, the observation post located on the left side of the city wall screamed.

Look ahead!

Roland and Carter looked at the position he pointed at, 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 this section of defense turned around and asked.

According to the previous drill, you should judge whether to blow the horn by yourself, Roland said, and at this point, you are more experienced than me.

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

Roland nodded with satisfaction. As far as possible, the order on the city wall is still maintained well.

I just don’t know if they can quickly organize defenses according to the steps of the drill when a large number of evil beasts attack the border town.

The black shadow gradually walked in, about fifty meters away from the city wall, Roland could already see the appearance of the evil beast.

Maybe it's a fox variant?

Its fur is gray-black, its eyes are red, and it comes to the city wall with white breath.

This guy seems to have been eroded not long ago and the threat is not great.Iron Axe said and aimed.

You said they were all infected by the breath of hell and were driven westward to this point?

Not only to go west, Carter came over and said, when the gate of Hell was opened in the wilderness, where there were no desperation mountains blocking it, they would be attacked by evil beasts, especially the big gap in the north.The desperate mountain range that stretches to this point seems to have been cut off, with a gap of more than ten miles long, which is also the main direction of the evil beast's attack.

The manic monster wandered under the city wall for a moment, raised his head and grinned at the people on the wall. Just as he was about to leap, the iron axe released the bowstring, and a sharp arrow penetrated its neck accurately, nailing it firmly to the ground.

Roland noticed that the blood it was bleed out was black.

Why is it also eroded by the power of evil spirits that the witch can preserve consciousness after awakening, while the wild beasts become crazy and their bodies undergo changes at the same time?

If you have the chance in the future, you must go to the back of the desperate mountain range to take a look, he thought.

In the prince's memory, it belongs to the forbidden area that humans cannot set foot on, and is the place where the gates of hell are opened.

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