The workload that I have in front of me is massive. And time is pretty tight. The worst part is that the undertaking I'm doing is pretty impossible for almost anyone else. Fortifying the cities and the Sea of Demons was the least of my worries as I could simply have puppets make more puppets and so on. I just needed time and materials. The work was mostly done automatically. The issue was obtaining the materials needed to do this. And the bandits, holy shit, there are a lot of them.
By the way, I published the Second Volume of Requiem of Souls: The Herald Beckons.
