Let's make the second fence solid. Good stubborn things like the castle city.

Based on such an out-of-the-box concept, I gather materials to build a second wall, while meeting with Esperda.

"I was wondering if it would be a good idea to build a fortress in about 10,000 cities, thinking about future developments"

"Ten thousand?

I leaned my neck against Espada's words. [M] 10,000 cities means cities with 10,000 people living in one city.

Incidentally, the size of the village, including the Apkars, is about two hundred people.

"Build a city where 10,000 people can live? Hey, isn't it big?

That's what I ask, but Espada shook her head left and right.

"In view of the rate at which the village develops today, the less the 10,000. But if we build the walls, we have to manage them, and we have to deploy a significant number of people to be vigilant around us. As a result, it gets a little narrower, but I would advise that it should be made on a scale of 10,000 cities."

I spoke pale as if I were a secretary talking about my plans for today, but this one is surprised and I haven't swallowed the contents well.

Anyway, on a scale, the Wang capital is 300,000 cities, 200,000 in the first city of the Marquis of Fertio. 100,000 cities when it comes to the second city. Other towns and so forth are 50,000 to 10,000 cities.

In other words, where our village has developed splendidly, there are not so many flowing people.

I've never heard of a city in this world that is still that populous, even though there are half a million people living in the cities of China like the Three Kingdoms.

In the meantime, are there going to be as many as 10,000 people living in the small village on the border land as there are not even these two hundred people?

Lovely country life! What a level. Country, but how many weirdos are going out of their way to move in.

"... wouldn't it be good on a scale of about a thousand or two?

I suggest trying to be modest, but Espada frowned.

"No. Always, there will be extra effort and work later. If that's how it goes, then you should consider them first."

Mmm. Espada is famous for his stubbornness. He is the deacon and such a person that there is no one out to the right in setting up his master, but when he made his point, his father did not even pull him off against him.

"Okay. So, how about a hundred meters at a time from the current wall position on all sides?

"Not enough at all. If you live alone, you will manage to fit in, but considering that you will also be able to enter defense facilities, lodging, each guild base, etc., you will want 600 meters on one side."

"Six hundred meters each side!?

It is no longer unimaginable size from the size of the village today. Besides, next time we build it, it's a real wall. If you want to name a castle wall, I want it at least ten meters high.

But it's distracting to think I'll make it myself.

Espada nods in the face when she realizes I look disgusted.

"Of course, in the future, it will be time for people to gather at Master Van and get enough manpower to build the walls in earnest. Now I hope to build only walls in a way that is easy to improve later."

"Do you make walls..."

And there's still no sign of pulling.

Watch a simple map created by Arb and Lowe as they sigh. It's pretty cluttered, just made by a knight who's handmade and doesn't have the sense of surveying.

But still, I can somehow grasp the atmosphere.

The streets stretch and the end is our village. Behind it lies an artificial lake, behind which forests, and mountain ranges, refrain. Left and right are pioneering, but in the back there are woods and rivers again.

In other words, the front street would be better prepared for the Knights of Man, the Bandits, etc., otherwise countermeasures to the Warcraft would be better.

Hands and diversity if you're a human opponent. If it's a warcraft opponent, I guess it's about power.

Based on them, you may want to change the shape to increase the effort here.

"Let's do it in a direction that's not a square castle city"

Saying so, Esparda raised one eyebrow.

"Does that mean a circular fortified city? Until about a hundred years ago, there were many circular fortified cities, but the rise of powerful magicians has led to more instances of fortifications being broken in a single breakthrough. This led to the dominance of fortified cities in the form of squares due to the ease of defense."

Espada, who politely ties past history and teaches that a square fortified city is better than a circular one.

And I snort, but I deny it.

"If you can take it directly from the front, the fortified city of the square will use its power, but the corners are a little weak, aren't they? It's better than a circle because it increases the strength of the walls."

"... lose the corner," he said?

I shake my neck to the left and right of Espada, who brings up a question mark.

"No, I'll increase the horns"

Answering in vague terms, that espada solidified. I'll tell Espada what I think first. [M]

He wrote directly on the map and drew the six stars.

"... it's this kind of star-shaped fortified city"

"This... but aren't these two corners that forced me to the side of the street going to be the defensive and hard spot pointed out earlier?

Add another six places of writing to the baffling esparda to make it easier to understand.

It's a hexagonal shape with six triangles. It can also be described as a form of disconnection of the corners.

"The parts of this corner, if destroyed, cannot be allowed into the city. You should think it's the same as having six independent fortresses. The rooftop section is connected to the walls, but with a bouncing bridge on the side of the walls, separation is possible. So the attacking side can't get to the main body unless you take the time to attack the corners. If you ignore it and break down the walls, you'll be attacked in three directions."

And, I will explain, Espada only roars silently.

This is the form of a fortress conceived on Earth when artillery or something came out, but it would also be effective in this world of swords and magic. Without magic like a long-range mortar, there's no problem.

Well, it would be cruel to ask Espada, who doesn't know such circumstances.

I thought so and tried to explain the details, but Esparda opened her mouth faster than that.

"As long as it takes."

"Hmm?"

Leaning his neck, Esparda points to the map.

"If we attack from the front, we must attack the fortress in a small number because we cannot spread left or right even if we attack the corners... This is a very well thought out form. A powerful magician can't line up enough infantry to be a shield. I mean, you have to be ready to crush the balls and challenge the fortress offense,..."

Even after I said that, Esparda kept looking at the map with a bump.

"Dear Van, how about a cup of tea?

"Oh, please. Thanks."

You thought the story was a paragraph, Till gave me tea. Easy to drink and delicious. Tea and fruity flavors of tea.

And, relaxing, I suddenly heard footsteps running around the hall.

Is it Kamsin? Still sounds good with the dota.

What will happen to the soundproofness of our hall? Who, the guy who built it.

As I complained in my head, the door to the lord's office opened up momentously from the outside.

"Master Van!

It is just arb that has emerged. Don't let the knight run down the hallway.

"What's going on?

When asked, Arb opens his eyes and points out.

"What's wrong with you? A messenger is coming from the neighbouring Count Ferdinut house!

"What?"

As I tilted my neck, Lowe looked out from behind the arb.

"It's not just the windmill and sword crest flag of Count Ferdinut's house. There was also the flag of Viscount Cayenne's unicorn and shield crest, the emerging nobility of the Earl's faction. There are three carriages. There are about a hundred soldiers."

Unexpectedly see Till and Esperda's face in Rowe's supplementary information.

"It's not noticeable yet, is it?

That's what Espada answers with an ambiguous face.

"We've done enough to stand out, but we shouldn't have that information flowing anywhere yet. If you heard rumors and moved, it would be too soon."

"Right...... hmm?

After I snorted at Espada's words, I raised the question mark for a while.
