'Well rupees will certainly not be a problem this year.' Link thought with a smile. 'Though I really need to increase the size of the training grounds as soon as possible. More troops need to be trained faster so we can be prepared in the case of a full out Blin invasion.'
Link got up and started pacing in worry. 'Perhaps I should also look into building some counter-siege weapons in Ordontown. We do have those new towers built into the walls that could hold a decent sized siege weapon each. Building an Onager on top of each tower should massively improve the defences there.'
'I should also probably make use of that missile range and start training mass ranged troops. That will let them make proper use of the walls against the Blin when they come.' Link thought sitting back down with a sigh. 'Of course I also really need to look into finding other survivors of the goddesses wrath. If I can find someone willing to ally against the Blin that would solve most of the problem right there. Well wishes and all that... what to do this year?'
