On the day before the planned trip to Pasture City, everyone was quite busy.
Macken and Tom were drawing up plans for David's upcoming territory defense and patrols, while Elron rode through the small town, dispensing Ronin's benevolence.
Chahar was tinkering with the plans for the castle toilets, while Wilson, after finishing his statistical work, was engrossed in the task of organizing villages and groups.
Ronin was not idle either.
After finishing the Knight novel he was reading, he rode his horse to the southeastern edge of the territory to see how the peasant slaves and tenant farmers were reclaiming the wasteland.
The farmers were selective when reclaiming wasteland. They didn't just find a random plot of land and start working it. They generally chose places with relatively flat terrain and softer soil, doing their best to avoid sandy or rocky ground.
