Synopsis

The chapter reveals the characters' innovative strategy of using nature and signal fires as defense instead of a massive wall, aiming to delay rather than block enemies, and also focuses on how the concept of time is different for different races in this world. The King contemplates the difficulty of ruling lizardmen, who use fear to maintain order, and other species, all while trying to unite them, suggesting ruling through fear alone is not sustainable, and is juxtaposed by the death of the stargazers.
