The sun was setting, and it was sunset time again.
Kane walked down the city wall, and Catherine's voice came from behind him just in time.
"grown ups."
Kane turned around, looked at Catherine behind him and said with a smile, "Oh? It's been drafted?"
Stopping, Catherine stood in front of Kane, nodded seriously and said: "Yes, my lord, the night shift and morning shift patrol officers have been drawn up for the time being."
"Very well, tell me."
"Yes, after my decision with Lieutenant Charles, we set the number of patrols on the city wall to 46 people. There are two shifts in the morning and evening, and each shift must have at least 23 people on duty."
"At the same time, there are 16 archers on the eight battlements, 2 in each place, and the inspection team on the city wall consists of 6 people as a unit, cross-checking, and each team has a small leader."
Kane said with satisfaction: "Yes, it is a very strict inspection plan, but basically all the cavalry and soldiers in the territory are used. You must ensure their mental state."
"Understood, my lord."
"Well, Marcus, have you explained to him?" Kane asked.
"I talked with him earlier, and temporarily handed over the command of the cavalry to me." Catherine replied truthfully.
"Okay, that's good, call some soldiers over, we need to solve the problems of the villagers." Kane continued to order.
"Yes, my lord."
In less than a while, Kane brought Catherine and several soldiers to the villagers of Maike Village.
The elderly village chief walked out of the crowd, representing all the villagers, and asked Kane.
"Lord Kane, I don't know what happened to this war?"
Looking at all the worried villagers, Kane smiled and comforted: "Please rest assured, the opponent has been repelled by us."
"That's great!"
"I knew that Lord Kane could do it."
"Praise Lord Kane."
Hearing Kane's answer, the villagers burst into cheers.
The village chief was also very happy, but he noticed that several soldiers behind Kane still had serious expressions on their faces.
The old village head continued to ask: "Then may I ask my lord, can we return to the village?"
At this time, Kane suddenly shook his head regretfully, and said, "I'm sorry, Village Chief A Jide, you still need to live in the city for a while."
The village chief, who noticed something was wrong, carefully asked: "My lord, why is this?"
Kane explained: "I'm sorry everyone, although the opponent was repelled by us, but he just retreated out of our attack range, and he is still entangled on the lawn not far away."
"Ah!? My lord, what should I do?"
Kane smiled and comforted: "Please rest assured to stay in the castle for a while, we will be able to drive them away completely."
The old village chief was considered an old man, and immediately replied with a smile: "Then I will follow the arrangement of the adults."
"Very good." Kane was very satisfied with the other party's answer.
Immediately, he turned to the butler Jess who appeared at some unknown time and said, "Jess, how many people can our castle accommodate?"
Without thinking, Jess said, "My lord, the first and second floors of the castle can accommodate about 230 people."
"At the same time, there are currently 70 soldiers and cavalry, more than 40 servants, 10 chefs, and 6 extraordinary people including you, a total of about 126 people."
"If you want to include all the members of Maike Village in the atrium, there are about 228 people, and our Eagle Fort can fully accommodate them."
Kane said: "Very well, you have worked hard, and I have to trouble you to bring these soldiers together to arrange the residence of all the villagers in the atrium."
Jess saluted, and then said, "This is my duty, my lord."
After speaking, he immediately called several soldiers together and led the villagers of Maike Village into the tower.
Catherine looked at the figures of a group of people going away, turned to Kane and asked, "My lord, do we want the creature summoned by Your Excellency Edrin just now?"
Kane shook his head and said, "No, you don't need to pay too much attention to its existence. Anyway, it just happens to help us patrol the city wall. Why not do it?"
After getting the reply, Catherine also said in relief: "I understand, my lord."
There was nothing to say all night, and the time came to the next morning.
In the lord's bedroom, with the sunlight shining in, Kane, who had been sitting cross-legged and practicing all night, opened his eyes.
Now there are too many people in the castle, and Kane no longer goes to the training ground to practice.
He arranged his nightly practice in the bedroom, swinging his sword in the first half of the night, and sitting cross-legged in the second half of the night, and it continued like this until the early morning.
After shaking his paralyzed legs, he got up and left the bedroom, and came to the atrium.
Due to the increase in the number of people, several chefs in the castle were still cooking meals, and Kane also graciously asked them to cook slowly, and he was not in a hurry.
Walking through the atrium, Kane came to the top of the city wall.
When several patrolling soldiers saw Kane's figure, they all stopped and saluted him.
"grown ups."
Kane nodded, then asked, "Well, did the other party make any new moves last night?"
Hearing this, the soldiers at the front shook their heads after a little thought.
"No, the other side seems to be very quiet."
Kane laughed: "Oh!? That's interesting."
If the other party really wanted to engage in a war of attrition with him, it would be in line with Kane's wishes. As long as he waited for a few days, the two nobles behind would be able to bring troops to support him.
At that time, not to mention defeating the Manvila army, at least they will be able to fight back and forth with them, and with Adeline's help, they may really be able to completely repel the opponent.
After thinking about it, Kane told several soldiers: "Check carefully, don't slack off."
"As ordered."
A few soldiers replied respectfully, and then went to inspect the distance.
Under the scorching sun in the morning, Kane looked at the army that had already set up camp in the distance.
"Humans, I don't think it's that simple." A deep voice sounded beside Kane.
At some point, Ascorin, the water element summoned by Adeline, appeared beside him.
Kane immediately became interested. This was his first conversation with elemental life.
He smiled and asked, "I don't know, what's your opinion?"
"Hey! You're asking the right person. From yesterday to this morning, Master Ben Askerin has been closely watching the other party's actions."
"Besides, my lord has sharp eyes and can detect the shortage of people in the camp."
"Although the opposite side is well hidden, since last night, people have left this camp one after another, and it seems that they are running to the territory behind them."
Kane thought: "Run to the rear? What are they trying to do? Find reinforcements?"
Ascorin waved his hand and said, "Who knows? Anyway, you have to be careful, human."
