Capítulo 99: Opaque reality [ 19 ]

The construction of the guardhouses proceeded steadily along each border. With the captains' supervision and the soldiers' hard work, they were able to work remarkably quickly.

According to Rowan's calculations, they would finish the construction in less than three days. The only difficult task was digging the foundations, and they had already completed that phase today. Tomorrow, they would move on to the other steps, which required less effort. In fact, with the number of men working, they might finish the work even faster than Rowan had anticipated.

It was already evening, and Rowan was returning from the eastern border with Roland and his men. They were chatting among themselves, smiles on their faces.

The soldiers escorted Rowan and only left after he arrived in front of his house.

"Good work today, everyone. Rest well so you'll have the strength to do another good job tomorrow," Rowan said, waving at them.
