FLTL Ch 106. Missed Opportunity

"It's already been snowing heavily on that road for the past few days, you know?" Feroy replied. "Even then we should have returned back on time but yesterday morning, a wagon wheel became loose after a big jolt from a pothole on the road, and nearly came out from the wagon. Usually it wou...

FLTL Ch 104. New Target

Thinking about how to tell it in a way so that the bandits would leave the village alone, Calubo said, "Of course we had that many guards in the manor! There is no chance that the baron's manor would be breached in any raid. They have tall palisade walls surrounding the manor after all!" 2024-11-01 14:30:04 +0000 UTC View Post

FLTL Ch 103. The Moment Of Truth

Immediately, Nokozal and three other bandits who were sitting in a crouch near the bluff got ready with their swords out, while the archers nocked an arrow on their bows at the top of the bluff.

Calubo had seen that his cousin Nurobo was also in the caravan when they were going north...

Kivamus was standing outside the manor house looking at the clouds covering the sky, along with the biting wind which was now blowing continuously in Tiranat. Until yesterday, it had still been sunny, although the clouds had started...

FLTL Ch 101. Scheming

None of the other bandits said anything in reply to that question.

The bandit chief stroked his long beard for a moment. "Actually, never mind that. It's a fact that a poor village like Tiranat couldn't possibly have that much money - not after that raid by Torhan's group - which mea...

FLTL Ch 100. Toloraberries

As Helga took a seat on one of the empty chairs, Kivamus said, "That's really good to hear. What did you find?"

"It's nothing too much, but I saw a few Bilona trees in the west of the village, maybe around five hundred yards away from the last houses," she replied. "They only give fr...

The next morning Kivamus and others were standing near the gates of the manor, watching the caravan get ready for departure. The weather had cleared up further, and while the sun had just risen at this time, there were only sparse clouds in the sky, despite the chill in the air. The wagons...

FLTL Ch 97. Soaps

"I'm not sure..." Pydaso muttered. "I have heard that slate is a type of rock, but I don't know how you could write on a cliff... Not that I would be able to transport even small chunks of that rock here. I am not sure where to find chalk either... But can you really use them to write?" 2024-10-23 14:30:02 +0000 UTC View Post

~ Maisy ~

Ten-year-old Maisy was smiling today, as she waited outside the baron's manor along with many other villagers for the caravan to come back. Someone had seen the caravan coming from the north, and before long the news had spread throughout the village like wildfire. So she and Elsi...

FLTL Ch 92. Bilona Nuts

Hudan gave a shrug. "I'm not completely sure. But now that I notice it, it does look a little different to me as well."

"Oh, that's a Bilona tree," Taniok answered as he reached there. "It is one of the few fruit trees found near the village. You surely must have eaten bilona nuts in the pa...

FLTL Ch 87. Scouting

Duvas shrugged. "We could certainly keep the fish in those buckets themselves, but it would be a very small amount anyway, and a single wagon of fish transported in those buckets would probably not be enough to feed even the whole manor for a day."

Immediately, Kivamus thought of an ...

FLTL Ch 85. Crossbows

"You are right," Kivamus replied. "Those arbalests are much heavier, and they are slower to reload as well when compared to a bow, which would make them undesirable weapons for most people. That means it would be very costly if a noble wants to produce them in bulk to equip his whole army ...

FLTL Ch 84. Better Than A Bow

"That's true enough," Kivamus said. He looked at the guard captain. "What do you think about that? Once we have the village walls ready, we can afford to keep only a small number of guards in the manor, while the rest of our current guards can be put on duty at the village gates and the wa...

Hudan gave it a minute of thought before he replied. "I'd say we need one watchtower at each corner for sure. Although, in the future, maybe we can add another watchtower in the middle of each of the longer sides, and if we are able to muster enough guards to man all the watchtower properl...

"I'm not certain, since they were killed by the baron's guards," Levalas replied, "but they were very likely mercenaries sent by someone."

Zoricus frowned. "Are you sure they weren't just local ...

FLTL Ch 80. Baron Zoricus

The ease with which Zoricus called him Levalo, and the way he spoke his name like it was simply the truth, enraged him thoroughly. If the other stablehands called him that, Levalas tolerated it, because other than occasionally making some fun of his name, they didn't hold any malice towards him, ...

"What about using the wood from the damaged houses of the villagers?" Hudan suggested. "Since many such villagers are living temporarily with others now, we have many such damaged wooden houses in the village which are empty. We cannot grow any mushrooms there itself since the villagers still liv...

In the evening, Kivamus and others were sitting in the manor hall near the fireplace, when a guard entered.

He said, "Milord, the blacksmith has provided us what he forged today - eleven braziers and two iron sheets to wrap around the axles of the log movers. Taniok told us that he w...
