Time was not on anyone's side. It most certainly despised Rino. When he failed the first timeline to finish constructing his windmill, he used the remaining day-offs he bought previously. It was a safety net that Rino did not expect to be used in such a manner.
He could ask the farmers to increase their production, but Rino didn't want to subject them to overworking as a punishment they certainly did not deserve after that backbreaking highway construction. If anything, they deserved a break. The lich wanted to introduce the hot springs to the trolls and earth gnomes. Yet, it was difficult to let anyone go on a vacation with the deadline up against his neck.
In just four more hours, he was going to experience the punishment clause in all his quests. There wasn't much Rino could do at this point. If he forced his minions to work overtime, he would lose his respect as a leader.
A king who could only rule using fear and oppression wasn't a good ruler.
