Chapter 43: The Price Tag of a Strategy
And then again for a while, I worked on the re-modelling of Ryun Height
With a large amount of sandbags made with the effort of the Inujin over several days, the construction site was surrounded. It was to protect workers even for a short while in a sudden enemy attack. By even saving a few dozen seconds, you earn time enough for the werewolves warewolves could likely save the workers.
Also, I have not told anyone about this but, when the enemy occupiesoccupied the enclosed position that was surrounded by sandbags, I planned to throw a gun barrel inside. I thought it would be Probably probably work well.
The problem was that Technical Officer Kurtz operator will not dare touch the explosive at all.
"Vaito-dono must never approach" the breath of the dragon "!"
Why such a stern tone?
It was secret to everyone, but I was used to handling gunpowder.
In my past life, I tried putting firecrackers in empty cans and I tried burning weeds with fireworks, and so on.
At any rate it can be used to make guns.
I decided to watch the progress of the construction for the moment, while refining the idea of attaching a bomb to the arrow of a large crossbow.
There were many things to do but, the most concerning thing was to be brave.
If you are as strong as the devil, honesty honestly I do not know how to win. The perspectives are too different.
At least it was certain that we could not win even if all the wolves are hit.
In any case, what was troubling was, we did not know what kind of person the hero was and how to propose acting accordingly.
Unlike in the military, and an individual's behavior is hard to predict. Even if they appeared tomorrow suddenly in front of the castle gate of Ryun Height, this would not be strange.
At any rate, because this place was "Makoto Ryun Height". There is a reason enough for the hero to attack.
At that time, it was planned to conduct an ambush with one thousand skeleton soldiers, at any rate it would be hard to catch with any single rider. When the time came, we also consider the possibility of challenging the fight with all the wolves. Everyone was prepared for such when we left hidden village. However, they did not want to fight …
"Lord Vaito, I'm back now!"
It was a few days later that the Inujin ancient soldiers came back to Ryun Height.
"Oh, you see seem better than usual, how was the recruitment of recruits?"
"Yes, five …"
Surely it was not are not five people?, I guessed. Fifty?
"500 people gathered!"
"Too many!"
Could we really feed so many people? It was a small town with a population of about 3,000 people. The other 500 horse troops had only just started their garrison the other day.
"But they are gathering in front of the castle gate"
"Have you brought them here suddenly?"
"If the Devil King Army is impossible, it seems to be OK even if you move to Ryun Height!"
They were brazen lot.
I hurriedly consulted with the officer class of Inujin troops and utilized one hundred people out of five hundred as recruits. I rearranged the troops, reorganizing with 200 combat engineers and one hundred crossbow troops.
Because the selection was left to the Inujin troops, so there would be no mistake. They have a sense of smell to pick out their friends.
The remaining four hundred people would be deployed as workers of the wall extension for the moment. When a new castle wall is completed, we could go about making a new town in which to reside.
Anyway, at that pointed we needed hands.
And so in this way the population of Ryun Height exceeded four thousand people, Airia would be swamped with all this for a while.
"Demonic immigration is also greatly welcomed, but please moderate this."
"They will be made to pay taxes properly, so please take a closer look."
Outside of Ryun Height, with the economic shouts and construction sounds echoing, finally the information I was looking out for arrived.
