PLAN TO DEFEND THE CITY 5

LonFall city had people moving back and forth through the day and night. Though half of the building has been destroyed by the savage monster beast. However, the arrival of Al Casendra had turned the desolate city into a reviving village. The Corpses of people and beasts could not been found in the city anymore. The air was clean and fresh. And the most notable changes in LonFall Pass was the huge deep tunnel in front of the city.

Anyone who saw the depth of the tunnel would be frightened. Despite this, many earth mages were using their magic to dig it further. The sudden in flow of earth mage surprised the citizen of LonFall Pass. However, everyone was to busy to care about where they came from.

Now, but young and old had a job to do. No one was idle. While also, the continuous check of their pass stupefied the people. According to the prince, the most important thing in LonFall pass was their ticket.

It been over a day since Al Casendra change the power structure of LonFall Pass. At the center of the city, a group of people are reconstructing a magnificent building. A middle aged woman stood at the back of the builders and shouted various commands.

"Grandma, Why are we renovating this building. Those dangerous things can come at any time." A little girl with a long pony tail hair looked at the middle age woman with her big eyes. The middle - aged woman smile, rubbed the head of the little girl.

"You don't have to worry about those things. The prince as promise to protect us and turn this city into a big city."

The little girl tilt her head. "Can he really do that?"

"Don't ever question the prince word again. You must trust on his word. Do you understand?" The middle-aged woman said without any smile on her face.

The little girl saw the seriousness on her grandmother face and nodded. "Good! That my girl" The woman pat her head with a soft touch. She turned and focus on the construction with a sharp glint in her eyes.

On top of the city wall, a young man and middle-aged man stood side by side. The cold air blew to their face, flaunting their robe. The middle-aged man turned and looked at youngster beside him. Of course, they are Sir John and Al Casendra.

"Why are they digging such a dangerous tunnel in front of the city wall. Can you at least tell me?" Sir John grumbled.

Just then, an old man with a lot of wrinkles on his face climbed the wall and gave a deep bow to the prince. "Your highness, we have completed the first step of the design. Should we begin the second part. Or perhaps, you want to come and check it out first."

Al Casendra turn his head and looked at the old man and makes a hand gesture. Sir John saw this and looked at the old man with puzzlement. "Old man. The prince asked for your name?"

"Ah! This old man is called James your highness." James bowed again. Perhaps the gossip of the fearsome eyes of the prince has spread among the people, scaring the hell out of the people.

Al Casendra make another communication with his hand. At once, Sir John interpreted it. "Old James. The prince ask you to lead the way."

"Good! Good!" Old James nodded with a bright smiles.

In an open field, a series of few young men and old people were working without the care of what was happening around them. Sweats dripped from their body like broken damn. While some old men were whistling some come tune, nodding their head to match the tune.

Al Casendra, Sir John and Old James stood with making a noise couple of distance from the men. Sir John widen his eyes and stared at the strange invention. He couldn't made head or tail of the strange looking thing. He glance at the prince but only to saw the cold expressionless face of the prince.

Al Casendra communicated with his hand and immediately Sir John translated it. "The prince has you too begin all the other project or things." Sir John glance at Al Casendra. 'Do I get the translation correct?' Squinting his eyes. However, Al Casendra didn't bat an eyes at him. 'Good. I'm getting the hang of this. But wait, when did I turn into a translator.' He jacked his head back.

Back on the city wall, Al Casendra looked at deep tunnel and light air escape from his mouth. 'Now, the first part of the project as been completed. Let start the second project. I hope those crazy bastard will give us some days to completed this project… Humph! No one can defeat the greatest genius scientist of time.'

He fished out another scroll from his garment and gave it to Sir John. "Why do you need such strange flowers?" Sir John asked after reading the content of the scroll. Al Casendra didn't bother to replied and focus his gaze on the horizon. Two people climbed he city wall. Su and Roy. They both gave Al Casendra an earnest bow.

"Your highness. The tunnel construction is almost done. And also the dam has been completed according to your design." Roy announced not daring to look at Al Casendra. Unknown to him his spin was already drenched in cold sweats.

"Your highness. The eastern part can be cultivated for farming. But it isn't as fertile like the western." Su reported.

Sir John watched Al Casendra communicated with his and translated it immediately. "Well done. You can return to rest. Roy send those mage away after having them signing a non disclosure contract."

Su and Roy bowed and left the city wall with a deep exhale. At the foot of the city wall they looked at each other for a moment seeing the perspiration on each other faces. "Do you have any idea what the prince is doing?" Roy whispered.

"Why don't you ask the prince?" Su snorted. She looked at Roy in disdain. "I don't want to venture on that dangerous mission again. If you want to dig your grave, don't drag me in." She added leaving in a large stride. 'Idiot! The prince already has his eyes on you. And you dare want to know what he thinking.'

Roy looked at the departed Su with his jaw on the ground. After a couple of seconds, he recovered from the initial shock and snickered. "Do you think I'm scared of that trash. Humph! Don't worry when the other prince arrived. They will return him to his position-- trash." He flung his robe backward and left. At once, a man in black appeared from the shadow and looked at Roy's back before returning to the shadow.
