It was the 18th of January today, eight days after the Vampire Forbidden Zone had ceased functioning. So far, there was still no movement from the Vampires, Atticus confirmed that at this time, all six hundred and sixty-five minus the few that died were in Silvland. In the meantime, we had all but completed our preparations in fortifying the north side of the Rustlands, with several large crossbows mounted onto the top of the walls.
Oh, and we also had cannons...based on the gun I'd brought back from the infiltration mission, along with blueprints I'd sketched, the Rustlands had invented cannons. Though they weren't like normal cannons, they didn't use gunpowder, and were fired differently. Basically, you place your hand on the back of the cannon, run some Mana through it, and then pull a lever to fire it. The inside of the cannon was lined with strips of the parchment used in making Spell Cards, just like The Empire's guns were.
