Soldiers from Tetrao village has been camping over night. Sleeping grounds were prepared by George even before him spying even began. He knew that path here would made group arrive at close to the evening. He was prepared to give them save sleeping area before battle would start.

When his plan to investigate came to end, he thought he would stay this far. He was prepared to leave them but now he has important information thanks to Tom. He had figured out that there was underground path to the Nothinghill. In addition he now knows the exit.

Place was in fact the place where he saw their group coming to the Gauraus. From outside it was old cabin which was used as warehouse. Of course by looking closely it showed way more than that. But when his allies arrived the soldier how looked him among scarecrows exited the cabin and started to tail them. This made sure it was path to succees.

Of course using this hidden path isn´t enought to succeed. Enemies will simply as them surrender or they would collapse the path. There isn´t no way they wouldn´t take so simple preparation against enemies. It might be good diversion but that isn´t enought either.

Before sleeping with everyone he told his finding as outsider. He isn´t going to reveal him face anytime soon. There wasn´t any further planning done that night. Simply rest and maybe it will give idea in the morning.

Unfortunately it wasn´t so simple to George. Others had walk all day. So they started to sleep soon. George for other hand was constantly thinking. He was trying to think about something else but it always came back to it. In addition his face mask made sleeping even more difficult.

In the next morning George left after saying goodbye. He used excuse to contact himself. He had to prepare for against real enemies and he might find away to make good diversion. Unfortunately he had feeling that he has light fever. At the night he had feeling of cold and reason for his thought might have been because of it.

Since they are going to try to take over the tower today diversion has to happen today too. If he can´t come up good plan then he will simply as some help since he isn´t feeling well. That might give viscount change to slip inside undetected. It is unlikely but not impossible.

At least after this exercise he can get help from inside. Unlike most might think there is one aspect quality of live way bigger than others which is improved by wars and battles. That is medicine. When people get wounded in war then countries needs them come back to do their work as soon as possible. Because of it medicine science has always improved after the war and during that period.

World really isn´t perfect but this shows one of humankinds mightiest strenght. Correcting all previously made mistakes. In other words learn from the past and bring it to the future generations.

As George thought this he hoped that he can do the same to others after he recovers. To be honest he was over working himself too much. To him not to be able to do anything when people attacked his home was too much to bear. Deap down he knew he had done everything he could. He just couldn´t throw doubt away.

As for now rest is needed. He wasn´t so stupid to go doing something unsuitable for situation. Althought this exercise ends today it is still just exercise. There is no need to take it too seriously. In fact by taking over the Nothinghill might cause even more serious problems later. To his suprise he came up idea as he watched people to prepare to start their construction work.

”This might work.”

Suddenly he was full of energy. Now they have in fack change to win this confrontation. He was going to talk with those men without his disguise. Thankfully his sleepy eye were bigger sight to see than his eye brows.

”Sorry about interference. If you would like to tell me what you are doing?”

To his surprise man how was clearly commanding the group became happy from my words. It was clear he was willing to talk without too much troubler.

“I´m happy to hear that someone is interested what is happening. We are going to build a bridge. We are testing how well our tools work for now.”

“What are you talking about? I haven´t any news about something like that. Or is it something small scale?”

“Ha ha. You seem to have wrong idea. We are building it across Polgon and Saisagus. This is going to be large scale development.”

I had no idea something like this was happening. Tetrao village is the most important trade path between these two countries. This will change both enormously. Was king keeping this hidden from us? That doesn´t make sense. He ordered us here. They would have been thinking that there is a change that we notice this. Like it actually happened.

In addition how can they achieve it? As far as I know these two countries aren´t the best friends. They are more like great enemies. Rapids and wildland even makes it even more difficult. I have to warn them.

“To make sure you know you can´t build a bridge here. Rapids and woods will make it too difficult. You should think a moment what you are going to do. It is impossible.”

It is sad thing to destroy others hopes and dreams but this is better than just let them suffer sertain defeat. To my surprise his answer disproved my thought wrong.

“Don´t worry about it. I admit that it looks that way from outside. Trust me. There is going to be new trade path between Polgon and Saisagus thanks to our Dialkas empire.”

That surprised me. They are from Dialkas. I didn´t expect that. At least then they have planned well. It is just strange they would build something across two countries far away from their country. This doesn´t make any sense.

“How? There should be any way to you use it after it is build. Do you think you could simply take toll from here without any problems?”

“Of course not. We simply need new option to go throught to the south sea. We have no plans to take over tolls from anybody. We just want to go free from here. Also this is form of thanks to the people how helped me study here.”

I see. That explains a lot but not everything. At least everything is made so publicly that there has to be permit for it. Unfortunately this will affect our sales in the future but this also makes it saver for us. Saisagus would probably attack us again otherwise. It was only matter of time. They need food for their people. They wouldn´t willingly just give up from our food resources.

Suddenly my eyes catch on something. It might be something very normal but it took my notice. There was strange frames. I had no idea how to use them. At least to his eyes there was no way to use them to the bridge.

“What is that? There is no way you could use something like that on a bridge. Also is it common sense to start building anything from ground up. Why would you make so much preparation before you even start on foundation?”

Person next to me was unfaced about my comment. He just bluntly answered. “No way we could use normal building method when below it is rapids which can make bridge fall. Method which we are using has many useful qualities. They can be build away from the place where they are finally placed. There isn´t no need to be in contact with below water. Finally it is easy to repair it.” Do you see the reason why we do it this way? I know everything isn´t perfect and there are some bad qualities with this construction method. Either way this is the best way for a moment.”

This is suprising. Not only their way of doing things are unique but they aren´t belittle us either. This kind of person will succeed in life if nothing bad happens in the way. I should reconment him later to Albert. Wait a moment. It can be build elsewhere first. Isn´t it exactly what we need next in Nothinghill?

“Could you tell me how it can be build elsewhere first? I presume it is build quickly after arriving to the place.”

“You just revealed a quite interesting point just now. It is actually a quite quick process. You could mass produce a lot and suddenly build them before anyone notices anything. Why are you asking?” To his question he made dubious look at me. He noticed too late that I might be a spy. Well truthfully I´m but I didn´t mean to.

“One work which I´m doing needs something similar to make it happen. So I was curious. I´m sorry if this offended you.” I proceeded by making light bow. I hope I didn´t make any hasty decisions just now when coming here.

Man was clearly thinking should he call out the guard. Althought there was group who clearly where seasoned soldiers, they were some distance away. Even if I have light fever I can got out for sure. I still need information so I waited his decision.

“Alright. I will talk. This knowledge will come out in few day either way. It is a bridge type with a supporting structure that is supported by high pillar and anchored to the ground, which is supported by the support rods. After it bridge´s cover is plced on it.”

“I understand. This will be useful to me. Thank you.” Next thing I was going back to Albert. I have plan which gives us a change. It isn´t sure it will work. At least it will be funny if it works.
