631 Meeting Hilary
“Great then. I expect at least fifty million,” she moved her arm to cover up the entire open lands south to the working zone of Lily and her people, “this place… It will change in less than two days time. I give you my word for that.”
I nodded, returned back to the middle of the oven zone and dropped her there.
With the help of dragon riders, she could get whatever she wanted from around the capital. As for me, I had to wait for the response from the lady nymph and Silverlining.
I checked and found that only an hour had passed so far. So I had yet to wait for a couple, even more hours for them to come back to me.
“Let’s check over Hilary then,” I decided to go to the coastal region and check over the walls and defences there.
My last visit there was a few days ago in Earth’s time, many weeks ago in my time. I had to get used to such chaos in time while jumping in between the two worlds.
That place was already showing much progress than most buildings in the capital last time I checked it.
So when I reached there and saw long rows of walls with regularly separated forts, I wasn’t that much impressed.
The focus over this party started early in the building process. Also the number of workers here was too much compared to the area they were working in.
Walls stretched for over ten metres, triple in some places, five in others. Around the forts, circles of walls surrounded them. And the forts were built over a higher ground than the walls.
They looked like miniature versions of big and mighty fortresses. I liked that!
I knew this was all Isac’s arrangement. And that made me curious about what she would do at the new project she had.
I flew for almost half an hour before reaching a point where the walls went two separate ways. Part went to the same path, lining the coast and protecting it.
And the other went in a horizontal direction, like it was going to circle my capital starting from here.
I liked that! Instead of following the coast, I felt curious and went to follow the walls going into the depth of the lands.
This part seemed recently built. I didn’t fly for ten minutes before reaching a place where the digging process was still undergoing.
Large number of workers were lost in the work here. Not a single one was free to raise his head high and spot me.
As I saw them working in such diligent way, I started moving back towards the coast. The people working here were led by humans, but I didn’t see any sign of Hilary at all.
If she was here, she would have come shouting and waving from far away!
The walls at the coastal border continued for half an hour before I finally reached a place filled with digging.
Just seeing the size of this digging process that stretched for almost two miles up ahead made me know why the building here was much faster than anywhere else.
Hilary and her men seemed to adopt such a tactic, organising people into teams, digging a large distance first before laying down the foundation and then raising the walls high up.
They might take a few hours to finish digging without any sign of progress. But once the digging would be finished, laying the foundation and raising walls wouldn’t take that much to give such an impressive result.
Besides, they had to work in a narrow space, building the same thing over and over again. Building walls didn’t require any skill, didn’t need any special design or process in building.
And in the middle of all this, I spotted Hilary doing exactly like I imagined; coming at me running and waving in obvious delight.
“What a surprise! You said you’d come here and check on us once every day. But hey, you took three days to come this time! And it’s just the first time.”
Once she arrived at my chariot’s top, she threw her body in my embrace while complaining like this.
“Sorry,” I didn’t know how to tell her that. But considering her three days with the two months I spent away from Silverlining and Lady nymph, she didn’t seem to suffer at all! “I got busy training.”
“You are always like that!” she looked at my eyes, “you shall take a few days off. Why not go to that peaceful world together, find a secluded place there and… You know…”
Her face turned all red when she said that. She was acting shy, as I knew how fierce and daring she was in bed.
“Not now,” I moved a few long strands of her hair off her face to better take a closer look of her mesmerising eyes.
And without saying much, we two were lost in a deep and intimate long kiss, a kiss that linked our souls and breaths together and entwined us into one entity for long minutes.
“What do you think of my actions here?” after finishing such a good moment, she asked in a slightly weaker tone.
“You did great!” I honestly responded.
“Don’t I deserve a reward?”
“Not now,” I sighed, resisting the urge to carry her soft body in my arms and go down there to devour such a sexy and fiery body. “We have a big war coming up.”
“I know, and that’s more reason to do it.”
“Not now,” I softly kissed her on the lips to stop her from persuading me, “I have to go back and check other matters.”
“Ok,” she nodded, acting weirdly obedient when she was in my arms like that. She was like a totally different person laying softly in my arms like that.
“Go back now… Ah, try to focus more on expanding the walls going through the lands.”
“You mean… The ones surrounding the capital?”
