The Sky Ice Plain was finally warmed slightly by the end of June.
The bright sunlight reflected off the ice and snow made it almost impossible to keep one's eyes open.
Archbishop Agani of the North Territory squinted at the half-troll royal city that was beginning to take shape before her and exclaimed:
"How long has it been? The city is almost built?"
A knight who was with her laughed and answered:
"Almost two months. It's a construction on the ruins of the former Troll Kingdom, so it doesn't need to be planned again, hence the quick pace."
"Two months?" Agani was even more confused, "But didn't Count Angler conquer the Troll Kingdom just last month?"
"Yes. But before embarking on the campaign, the Count had already ordered all the troll slaves of the North Territory to start rebuilding this city."
Agani raised her eyebrows and said, "In other words, he knew he was certain to win before he even set out?"
