Kapitel 446: 434 tear down the wall

"My lord, we dare not! This…this…" An elder stood behind Tagg, looking at a section of the city wall in the distance and pleading with a sobbing voice.

That was the city wall of Dongwan, the defensive fortifications their ancestors had maintained for so many years! Each new official would strengthen it further, when had the rules ever changed?

But now, these newcomers actually said they wanted to dismantle these cumbersome walls and even use the rubble to build roads and houses... wasn't this absurd?

Which was more important, city walls or roads and houses? If the enemy broke through, what good would houses and roads do? If everyone was killed, of what use would those be?

Yet he did not dare to defy this powerful figure who had just taken control of Dongwan Island. The fact that the man agreed to meet with him was an honor, how could he dare to give orders?
