"Let's shape the ground a little." Walker was more talking to himself than Fleur who was still not responding to him. He felt that the state of the ground between the demon lands and the walls were making her unhappy as well.
The first thing that Walker thought to do was make a long trench. Not only would it make things harder for armies to march and climb the wall, but it would allow for water to gather and pool up. From there the water would absorb in to the soil and hopefully allow plants to grow better.
"This doesn't look too good." Walker was surprised when Gil came up next to him.
"I thought that you would stay on that side and help out?" It seemed to Walker that Gil might be avoiding work.
