In the morning, Fort Hill.
Kane woke up from the lord's room, looking out the window at the scene of all kinds of waste, his back began to ache.
Since it was almost night yesterday, everyone didn't have time to clean up, so they had to clean up the castle and then fell asleep.
The same is true for Kane. He spread the sheets he brought in the empty bedroom, and then fell asleep under the quilt.
Walking out of the bedroom, Kane summoned the other three Transcendents to arrange the next affairs.
At present, the castle has a total of two towers, an atrium, and four patrol battlements on the city wall.
One of the watchtowers was given to the army of the territory to live in, and the other house was for the four of Kane and the rest of the cooks and servants.
Last night, Catherine ordered seven soldiers to alternately inspect the situation outside at the battlements.
But this is only a temporary arrangement, and the specific inspectors need to be worked out.
At the same time, because the city building is still empty, the five chefs can only cook meals in the atrium.
Everyone walked out of the tower and came to the atrium, where several chefs were busy preparing everyone's breakfast.
When they saw Kane and the others, they saluted and asked how many people wanted to eat first.
Kane and the others smiled and shook their heads, and continued to cross the atrium to the city wall.
On the battlements above, a patrolling soldier saluted the four of them.
Looking at the rising sun in the distance, and the dense forest below, Kane asked, "Do you know what is most needed in the castle right now?"
Marcus pondered: "The first is the bed. Without a bed, neither we nor the soldiers, nor the rest of the servants and cooks can get enough rest, which leads to lack of energy."
"The second is water, my lord. At present, we have brought fresh water resources, which are only enough for us to drink for about a month. We need to find out where there is a river to get water."
After Marcus finished speaking, Catherine continued to add: "My lord, I think we still need some training dummies, otherwise we won't be able to continue training soldiers here."
Kane nodded and looked at Sitz beside him, expecting his suggestion.
Sitz pondered for a while, and said: "Master Kane, I think that on top of this, you can add some furniture, such as the desk in your bedroom, and the kitchen for the chef. You can't keep them in the room all the time. Stay in the courtyard."
After listening to the opinions of several people, Kane said: "Very well, what you said coincides with me. Now, I need to arrange a few soldiers to cut some wood and come back to make everyone's wood." bed, meanwhile, call among the soldiers if there is any carpenter."
"Yes, I understand my lord." Catherine left the city wall and immediately went to execute it.
Kane turned to Marcus again and said: "The source of water is indeed very important, Marcus, you immediately take the cavalry to find out where there are rivers around, and investigate by the way."
"Yes, my lord."
After waiting for Marcus to leave, Sitz looked at Kane expectantly, waiting for his order.
Kane smiled at him and said, "Sitz, I have a task for you."
"Yes, my lord," replied Sitz.
Kane continued: "That is to work hard to improve your strength. On the third floor of the tower, there is a room where the environment will be relatively dark. It just serves as your meditation room. You will move all the things you brought this time to Go ahead then."
Although he didn't receive any major tasks, Sitz still went to carry them out seriously.
Only Kane was left on the city wall. Looking at the border in the distance, Kane kept thinking in his mind, if the orcs really broke through the defense of the border army, where should they break through
There is no doubt that it is the side that guards the weakest side.
With a heavy heart, he walked down the city wall to deal with some parts that were not cleared yesterday.
Soon, Catherine's team who had gone out returned to the castle. Each of them was riding a carriage with a cart full of timber behind them.
Greet all the soldiers who are free, and come to help unload the wood.
Catherine turned around and called five more soldiers with carpentry experience.
She ordered: "Several of you, make wooden beds for at least twenty people as soon as possible before sunset, and I will ask the chef to give you extra meals at night."
Several soldiers immediately took orders and said, "Yes, sir."
Immediately, in the atrium, he took a hammer and a wooden saw from nowhere and started to build it.
Catherine, who had nothing to do, wandered around after having breakfast, either going up the city wall to patrol with the soldiers, or practicing swordsmanship in a deserted corner for a while.
It also happened that she ran into Sitz who was carrying things.
This time, under Kane's urging, Sitz emptied all the things in the meditation room of Eagle Fort.
Right now, he is struggling towards the tower with a pile of spell books and his notes from the past few months.
Catherine glanced in his direction helplessly, walked over, and took away a bunch of things from his hand.
"The mage just can't do it. I told you to practice your physical strength. Besides, if you can't move it, why don't you ask your servant to help you?"
Sitz said embarrassingly: "I don't need to bother others with this trivial matter, I can do it myself."
That being said, although Sitz tried his best to get Catherine to exchange the books in her hands with him, he was stopped by his eyes and could only silently walk aside.
"It's a trivial matter. Seeing what you did just now, really. If I don't help you, I will fall down sooner or later."
In the end, the two walked to the meditation room on the third floor and packed up their belongings together.
Catherine was a little curious, this was the first time she saw the place where the mage practiced.
She couldn't help asking about Sitz: "Mage practice still needs such a prerequisite."
"It doesn't have to be, but there are circumstances that can do more with less," Sitz said.
"I see." Catherine nodded half-understanding.
Then, Catherine read Sitz's books again, or made his futon for practice.
In short, with the help of Catherine, the meditation room, which was supposed to be tidied up for a while, was not fully tidied until dusk.
It was under such a setting sun again that Marcus's team had just returned to the castle.
Looking at Kane and others who greeted him, Marcus lowered his head in shame, and he knelt in front of Kane on one knee.
He said: "I'm very sorry, my lord. This subordinate led a small team to explore the eastern forest, but failed to find a suitable water source."
Kane smiled and comforted: "This is only the first day. It's normal not to find it. Get up, Marcus, and look for it in a few other places tomorrow. Maybe you will gain something."
He lifted Marcus up and patted his shoulder.
He said again: "You haven't eaten all day, have you? Thank you for your hard work. Come, come and have dinner with me."
As he spoke, he led Marcus to the direction of the chef in the atrium.
