Chapter 94: Pursing the Ogres
"The wall is going to have two levels, the first wall and the second wall, with a gap in between both." Aric said and took his quill. He drew on the paper, two lines in a circular, parallel to each other.
"Master, you mean you want two walls around the village?" Ron asked, his gaze locked on the paper.
"Exactly Ron, that’s what I need. It’s a two-layer defense for the kingdom. The first wall will be wall alpha, and the second will be wall beta." Aric said.
"Master, why would you want two walls?" Lucas asked.
"Hmm, the reason is a lot to explain, but I have my reasons for it. Like I have said before, the walls are the final walls that we will be building.
The first wall will be made twenty feet tall, six feet wide, it’s going to be a very different type of wall from what you might have knowledge inside.
The wall will be hollow and empty enough to plant certain defenses inside." Aric continued speaking, while drawing out his plans, lost in whatever he was doing.
"Master, such a wall is not something we can finish early even with our skills and numbers. There are also other projects that we have to carry out, like the water system, and many other things." Gunan said, his words made Aric stop his blabbering.
He realized that he was actually trying to rush through things, he didn’t have the population for it right now, and that was a major issue.
"Sigh, I forget about that sometimes." Aric said, he set the papers aside, ready to scrap the whole project, when suddenly, Pentharis burst into the office.
"Master, master, there’s an emergency." He said as he rushed into the room, all eyes turned to look at him. Aric had never seen Pentharis out of breath like this before.
"What’s wrong, Pentharis?" He asked, coming out from behind the table to meet Pentharis.
