Chapter 48 Assembly
While Roland, full of interest, was talking about implementing a fair trading system, the sound of distant horns could be heard!
The patrol team would only blow the horn in the case that they couldn’t cope with the current situation, alerting the town to assemble soldiers.
Roland and Carter looked at each other surprised, and then immediately walked out of the castle backyard, where the guards already had already prepared horses. Roland directly mounted his horse and rode with Carter and his men in the direction of the walls.
When they arrived at the wall, they saw that all members of the militia had already climbed up the wall and had taken their places, setting up a forest of pikes. Seeing this gave Roland a feeling of relief – the eggs hadn’t been a waste after all.
Looking North-West, Roland could see a group of black shadows approaching Border Town. He reckoned that their numbers were over twenty.
Iron Axe left his defending position and trotted over. After giving a salute he said, “Your Highness, this group of demonic beasts nearing us seem to be slightly strange.”
“Strange? Are you saying that they would normally not act as a group?”
