Chapter 29

The next day, the weather was not good. It was gloomy, and the strong northern winds swept through the earth, causing the fine snowflakes to whirl around. When the wind blew at those people who did not wear thick clothes, the cold was simply like a blade slicing them up.

But such weather was good for Dahl Hill's clean-up army. In this weather, the gnomes would not be able to deploy sentries—even with the leadership of a tribal chief, the gnomes were too backwards in their level of civilization to be able to prepare thick clothes that were warm enough for their sentries. Without thick clothes, could they send their sentries out in such weather? In less than half an hour, they could prepare to collect the hard, frozen corpses of their sentries.
