They would spend tonight in this Blockhouse and make do.

Chen Fan stood on the City Wall, his hands resting on the Parapet as he gazed at the light overhead.

City Walls could only be built within a Camp, but a Natural Eerie Fire Zone allowed him to bypass that rule. It counted as half a Camp.
Of course.
He needed to replace the Eerie Stones in this "Arrow Tower" manually to keep it powered.
Building a Level-3 Arrow Tower cost only sixty Eerie Stones.

He had four shots left.
He would leave weaker enemies to the Arrow Tower. If there were too many, he would build a few
