The synopsis, please, read it in the first book; here there will be an excerpt:
— Don’t drag it out, — Андрей couldn’t stand it.
— In short, the road to the peak of trials is littered with corpses of peaceful civilians. The combined army of orcs and people doesn’t just loot—they go rampaging, killing everyone in a row, including women and children.
A heavy silence hung in the air. I finally stood up slowly and stretched, not waiting for any comments.
— Well then. Everyone rest.
— What will we do tomorrow? — Petya asked quietly.
— Tomorrow, before sunset, I’m planning to lay the first stone in the foundation of the fortress around the peak that Vlad found.
— And those maniacs?
— If you’re asking where we’ll put their bodies, the easiest thing will be to dump them in the river.
