At least three weeks.
This was the most optimistic estimate—realistically, we would have to add at least a week to that. Perhaps up to three.
"Do you think we have this much time?" I asked my Advisers.
After a long, uneasy pause filled with doubtful glances, Bloodhero cleared her throat and spoke up:
"I don't think so, Father. The upper layer of snow will probably melt much sooner."
I glanced at Undecided, who shook her head in a silent response.
"At least we have one week for sure, I guess. In this case, if the snow won't give us six weeks, we must make them. Measures must be taken to prevent the Bee Empire from flooding while we build the wall."
"Building the dams is the most lengthy part of the entire project, Father. If we focused on the wall itself, we could finish it much sooner. Then, we will have at least some protection," Workharder suggested immediately.
