Although from time to time Shuangfeng Village will send some new captives with shackles to build the stone wall, the amount of work is large, and the progress seems to be a little slow, which makes Witt also have a headache. But seeing the maturing wheat fields gave Witt a hint of comfort.

As the days passed, so did the pressure on Fesdena. From time to time, Okasha would send scouts to deliver letters, and at first the tone was a little mild, but gradually became more assertive, even claiming that if the people of Shuangfeng Village did not return to Fesdena, they would take tough measures and send troops to attack Shuangfeng Village as they did in the past, and the Shuangfeng Village would bear the consequences.

The wheat field outside the village was not ripe, and Witt was afraid that the efforts of the villagers in the past six months would be burned, and he did not dare to anger Okasha, so he replied in a low voice every time, hoping that Fesde's side would be accommodating, and Shuangfeng Village would complete the matter as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he was preparing for war and preparing to usher in an attack that Fesdena might launch at any time. Wittur hoped to be able to delay the war until after the farm was busy and the losses were minimized.

"Banderni, how's the construction of the wall?" Witt often follows up with Bandni on the defense of the village, and every day he can't do a little bit of ink.

"The owner of the village, although the manpower to come in to build the wall has increased, but due to the huge amount of work, there are still some holes in the inner side of the front wall, and the main wall defense facilities have not yet started, and it is estimated that it will still take half a year to complete." Banderi also looked helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

"Half load? That will not be built until Fested's mother-in-law sets foot on the cottage! Witt said visibly angrily.

"But ......" Bandni wanted to continue to explain, but Witt interrupted directly: "Okay, you don't have to explain anymore, you can build the stone wall of the former village within a month, and there are other things to explain to you here." ”

Witt led Banderi to the clearing outside the gate of the former village, pointed to the ground and said, "See? The gate is on the edge of the flat land at the top of the peak, which means that from here it is the slope, and I want you to send someone to dig it. Make a few large stone balls, the diameter shall not be less than 60 centimeters, wrap vines, arrange along the wall, except for the entrance and exit at the gate of the wall, the other places that are facing the ramp are lined up in a row, and temporarily fixed, hide in this place with bushes. ”

"The owner of the village is ......," Bandney guessed what was in Witt's mind.

"Fesdena's army may appear outside the gate at any time, and if you don't prepare now, you will regret it sooner or later." Witt said bluntly, and Bandney nodded silently.

"Also, in the front of the walled village, there is a two-meter-wide and fifty-meter-long passage in the straight line facing the walled gate, and the left and right sides of the passage and the top are built into wooden closed structures, do you understand when I say this?" Witt asked.

"Lord, Bandni understands, but why did he build it like this?" Bendney could still guess what it was like to carry the boulders, but the construction of such a long enclosed wooden passage really puzzled Banderney.

"Don't ask, you'll know when the time comes. By the way, when the walled wall is built, can it be designed according to my ideas, and it is divided into the inner gate and the outer walled gate? Witt asked.

"Don't worry! The walled wall is designed according to your ideas, the inner gate is separated from the outer gate, there is an open space in the middle, and there are shooting ports and stone throwing ports built above the open space, which is foolproof. Bandni said confidently.

"Excellent! Remember to speed up the project, war won't come when you're ready. Witt instructed.

"My subordinates understand!"

"That's right! The flour milling machine should be delivered soon, so you can make a slightly larger empty house that can be used as a processing plant in the future. ”

"I had heard about the machine from Rum earlier, so I had sent someone to do it earlier, and now I should have vacated the space and could transport it directly to the site as soon as the machine arrived."

Witty nodded his admiration for Bandney and continued, "How long is it expected to take for the wheat to ripen?" ”

"The harvest is expected to be in two weeks!"

"Go down first! Remember to get what I told you to do! ”

Bandney took the order, and Witt wandered around the cottage alone, surveying the cottage and other places that needed to be further strengthened.

The Hall of the Lords of Fesdena

"It's been almost two months, but I don't see half a shadow of those people in the mountains, how do you say you are the captain of the garrison?" Okasha was furious and screamed at Cass.

"Your Excellency! The people of Shuangfeng Village did not intend to target you, and promised to return to the village after the farming work, if they sent troops to attack now, wouldn't they force them into a corner? When the time comes, it will be difficult for the other party not to rebel. What's more, the villagers are not the same as the bandits of the past. According to the news from my people, the villagers seemed to have the guidance of a superior person, and they actually built a stone barrier in that precipitous place. There are words in the art of war, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, not being defeated in a hundred battles, and attacking rashly will surely cause heavy losses. Cass explained to Oksha.

"Those Diao people use the autumn harvest as an excuse, again and again, they must have ulterior motives, you must start preparing for relevant matters today, and give the last ultimatum to the gang of Diao people in the mountains, if the other party does not immediately restrain their hands, you must immediately send troops to attack, otherwise don't be the captain of the garrison!" Oksha shook her hand away, leaving Cass standing helplessly.

Since Okasha took office, Cass has not only had to suffer the anger of the vicious woman in front of him every day, but also lived a life of fear, for fear that if he is not careful, he may lose his head. Cass felt that it was a big mistake to help Okasha poison Maligapoye. Oaksha never cared about the life or death of the local villagers, and imposed all kinds of taxes, and the villagers complained bitterly. Moreover, since this poisonous woman killed a large number of nobles in Fesdena, her sensitivity to the surroundings has become even stronger. Even if a maid accidentally knocks over a kitchen utensil, she will be considered a premeditated murder and sent to the gallows.

Once, after one of Okasha's pet birds that had been with her for many years was taken by a wild cat that came from nowhere, Oksha went crazy and asked all the soldiers around Fesdena to go around the village to hunt for the wild cat, and many domestic cats suffered as a result. In the end, when the wild cat could not be found, Okasha actually claimed nervously: If the wild cat cannot be caught, all the cats in the village will be killed, and if the cat cannot be found after killing the bird, the dog will be killed, and finally the person will be killed!

During that time, the village was thrown into chaos, and in the end, Cass stepped in and found a similar cat to substitute for him, according to the servant, which put the absurdity to rest.

This was just one of the many ridiculous things Okasha, and Cass didn't dare to think about it anymore, this poisonous woman was ruthless enough to do anything. But the affairs of Shuangfeng Village still have to take into account the overall situation, and many innocent lives cannot be buried because of this woman's momentary excitement. Whether it is the soldiers of Fesdena or the villagers of Twin Peaks, they are all subjects of Fesdena. Cass decided to adopt a strategy of preparing for war on the surface, but in fact secretly waiting and watching.
