632 Creating A Triangular Defensive Zone
“You already went too far ahead,” I nodded, “we won’t be able to finish these walls before the next war. It will be most likely for those Hectares to come and destroy these walls first.”
“Hmm… If so… Then why not try to link the two together?”
“Like…”
“Making a big triangle here,” her eyes shone while adding, “this way we can turn this entire region into a big training camp. Also it will help us a lot in defending the capital from any northern attacks.”
“I like that!” I nodded, “didn’t Isac plan this before?”
“No, she just was busy and drew long lines going for the end of this continent!”
“This…” I knew this would be great to extend walls to cover the entire coast. However it wasn’t that practical at all!”
It was better to do like what my chick here said.
“Ok, go down and start doing it the way you said.”
“Uhm,” she nodded, reluctantly leaving my embrace after long and deeply intimate kisses between our lips.
As she went down in such hesitant steps, I could only sigh. In such harsh times of the apocalypse, trying to have a normal life like this was impossible.
Not until the kingdom would be established for long years and most of the deadly quests would pass.
“Karoline…” Just looking at the getting far back of Hilary made me recall my lost girl. “I hope that you’ll come back alive in the end.”
I still had no way to get to her for now. And I just hoped she would emerge alive from this ordeal.
I threw her problem behind my back for now. There would be a time when I’d go and rescue her. But not for now.
Now I had to totally focus on preparations for the upcoming big war.
Hilary’s idea was great. Doing it wouldn’t only save the part of the walls built on the coast, but it would also help in better using it in the upcoming fight.
And that military zone that would be here would do a great task in the upcoming war.
If they came from the north, they would face hell. I looked to the south and considered mimicking this as well.
But we lacked workers! And that made me look for the great delivery the lady nymph was going to make.
After all, it would be her last time getting such a deal from me.
I thought about what I should do with the southern region. Isac was already taking charge there, changing the entire place and turning it into a real fortress.
So adding a little extra work to her wouldn’t be a big problem.
I went directly to her place. I knew she wouldn’t be able to do much with the limited manpower she had right now. But she would need time to think about what to do there.
We needed walls, forts to be stationed at the coast. We also needed to think about the eastern borders of my capital.
Hilary’s idea about making a triangular shape of the northern border made me think about something else. Isac planned the entire capital to be in a star shape.
But that didn’t mean the defence wouldn’t be like a big triangle. This way, we could limit the size needed for protection, have extra smaller triangles built upon the big walls with main training camps there for extra protection.
Thinking about this, and imagining the finished version of my capital to have such planning, made me more reassured.
Like this I could leave my capital behind without any worries about getting hit by any army no matter what!
Without having a good and well secured base, how would I consider myself the strongest in the entire apocalypse here?
When I reached her, I found her busy giving orders to lots of workers. She was already in the mood to finish up what she had in mind. And I had to wait for almost an hour without saying a single word, waiting for her to finish.
“You are patient,” she said once she came on board. Her smile was so big, making me feel more guilty about what I was going to say to her.
“I want you to expand the work here.”
“Really?” she raised one eyebrow before adding, “with such few workers?”
“I’m going to get you tens of millions,” I shrugged.
“Those were barely enough to make the work here done,” she crossed her arms before adding, “I want double that number.”
“You didn’t ask about what I want.”
“It’s obvious,” she grinned, “you want to add walls to the coast here, link these with the big fortress I’m going to build, right?”
“Not only that,” I was impressed by her quick wits, “I want to change the entire defensive plans of the capital…”
I started to explain to her what I had in mind. She didn’t reveal her thoughts until I finished.
“You want all this to finish before the upcoming war?”
I nodded and she had to roll her eyes. “Dammit Hye! Why can’t we just build things over the other world and get the benefit of the time difference?”
“If that can be done, then I’ll agree,” I sighed, “but you know, we have to do it before the big war.”
“I know… Fine! I want at least one hundred million workers, even double if possible.”
“Do… Double?!! This place won’t take them!”
“You don’t get it,” she pointed at the outside area of her fortress, “the world is vast and open for us to do whatever we want in it. I want teams to work all time, exchange shifts with each other to keep the wheel running.”
“I… Get it,” I got what she wanted to do here. She wanted to use double the numbers to make two teams, one work for part of the day and the other would replace them when they got tired.
Doing it this way would save lots of time indeed. But that also meant lots of food to supply, big places for these workers to live in, and also lots of resources to be readied to match the insane working speed.
