A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

"Well, because His Highness William is coming behind us this year.

It's going to be a mess over there.

And we're not going to attack the demon kingdom from here, and the goal is to maintain our current territory.

"Grandpa, what would you do if the other one really came?

"I can't do anything about it.

There will be 1000 of us, 3,000 Robert, 3,000 Fred, and 500 William.

Can 5500 people prevent a full-scale invasion...

The number of soldiers in the battle of custom on the part of the demonic kingdom facing the kingdom of Azpur is two territories, totaling 5,000 of 2,500...

Victor. What do you say?

"Yes. But that's one way or another the number to (...) match the kingdom of Azpur.

"... still..."

Grandpa Elvis is dismayed.

"If you're going to carry out an invasion operation... there are 3,000 knights and 250 augusts on Viscount Fallon's territory when we considered it on the plane before.

Next was the Perni territory with 3,000 knights and 300 orgasms?

We were supposed to get more support from the King's Army, so something from the 2nd or 3rd Army 1000 people is coming.

Grandpa Elvis, Jesse and Bold make a difficult face.

"Victor, what is it?

Takeo asks.

"In short, neither us nor Barni can use magic.

So the Wizard Unit of the King's Army is supposed to come to support us.

Are you sure it was Hellhound and Rich troops then?

"... Was Hellhound sure to use Fire in the dog's appearance?

"Yes, Count.

And Rich says of those whose magicians are dead.

"Ha... Grandpa, is it critical that you be able to defend yourself?

"Well... but we have no choice but to do it.

The two governors sigh.

"Victor, how's the range of magic attacks on those two races?

"I was wondering if I was any different than a human being. It's definitely 250m.

"Really...

Mr. Elvis, how long can you let a magician attack you for reinforcing Guan?

"It is.

Did Takeo see the Katlanda Empire side?

"Yes. It looked like a simple wooden fort, though.

"The demon kingdom side of Sekikan is made of total stone.

It is also 8m high and the gate is made of iron.

"You're strong.

"... I meant to, but... if Victor had that magic support in his description and they stormed the beasts even more...

It may not last as long as expected.

"Right.

... is there only enough to double the iron door and make it even stronger when it comes to what we can do now?

And then we'll see how we can hold out until the main unit gets here... there, I guess.

You'll be able to wage a lasting war as long as Seki remains.

"It is.

Takeo, do you have a good idea?

"Um... Mr. Frederick, do you have a map around Seoul?

"Yes. I'll take it with me now.

Frederick left once.

On the desk was a map of the area around Seki with the demonic kingdom of Elvis territory.

Takeo is conceiving with his arms together.

Everyone drinks tea and waits to keep Takeo's thoughts out of the way.

"... by the way...

Both ends of the Guan... no. What's going on around here?

Aren't they going to be invaded without going through Guan?

"Dear Takeo, that is still the edge of the territory, so it is not suitable (...) for travelling in large armies with steep slopes or slightly elevated cliffs other than Seki (...).

It's not like you'll ever make it through, but I was wondering how any of you beast men could lightly march.

Frederick explains.

and Takeo sees Victor silently.

"Lord, I thought Master Frederick was right.

If the goal is just to get out of the woods, you can think of a few days, but if you go through the woods, you still think it's best to get out of Guan.

"Really..."

Takeo says so and starts the idea again.

"Evening fog.

"Mmm."

"What's going on with the investigation into the woods around this city?

"As Takeo said, we dig holes in the ground (...) and make our own passageways (...) (...).

Scheduled to be completed soon.

"Really?

Then when that's done, can you use a few dozen slimes to build a dirt base around the area with the demon kingdom... three kilometers up and down on the top and bottom of the Guan?

Takeo points to the map and says.

"Takeo, what's a dirt base?

"Right... shall I explain it on the blackboard?

Takeo comes to move the blackboard.

"A soil base is simply a steep slope that artificially serves the soil to prevent invasion.

Is the height... 8 m?

Making this suddenly is something that makes it hard to climb and descend.

"Takeo, where do we move the dirt from?

"That's digging this part and taking it this way.

Takeo writes a simple painting on the blackboard that digs the Demon King's side and serves on the Elvis territory side.

"Evening fog, is it going to be possible for the slimes?

"Um... I can do it if you're moving dirt... but I don't think it'll be finished soon.

Evening fog tilts his neck and says.

"You can make it steady.

There will be no immediate invasion. You can't even relax much, but it's not something you want to do as soon as possible.

If you can, I'd like you to go slower and gradually steeper in angle while you're digging.

"Hmm... I'll tell Sigre and Hatsuyuki to send in the slime.

Takeo, moving is still a way to dig?

"Right, dig a hole in the ground.

I don't like the slimes being preyed on or trampled on.

"Okay. In the meantime, I'll show this painting to both of you.

Is there anything else?

"Can you densify the trees around the earth base?

It doesn't have to be a big tree, so... it's good because it's about tsu or knee length.

"I'll try that, too.

Should we make sure there's no one around Seoul?

"Yes, that's fine.

Evening fog, I'm sorry I can't, but thank you.

"Mm, I get it.

"Evening fog, do me a favor.

If your compatriot is here and makes the same demands as Evening Fog, we'll try to make it convenient.

Then there is a risk that it will be ravaged from the other side on the border with the Demon Kingdom.

Are you gonna tell me that you might get caught up in a fight?

"Mm-hmm. Got it.

"Because I want to put one thing around me right now. I wonder if I can ask for 2 barrels for this reward.

I'll make arrangements to build a cabin next to Sekikan and place two barrels from Higashimachi.

Frederick, will you?

"Yes, let's give the East Town Director instructions right away and get to it.

Frederick nods.

"Mm, I get it.

I'm meeting Sigre and Hatsuyuki tonight.

You want to go too, Takeo?

"Right, shall we go?

"Okay.

The evening fog snorted.

"Grandpa, Mr. Takeo.

Um... if Misty Evening finishes Mr. Takeo's dirt base, would you send slime over here, too?

What Takeo just said is a pretty effective handset.

If we mobilize the soldiers, we'll know what we're trying to do, but if we can use the slime, we can make it in secret.

Besides, if it is quite difficult to get through, I think we can hold out if we only strengthen it.

That's what Grandpa thought, isn't it?

"Um, it's a pretty effective handset.

If we can narrow down the road in front of Seoul somewhat, we can limit the number of people we deal with.

Then even the soldiers stationed in Kansai might be able to defend themselves until the main unit arrives.

Let's get Frederick, Takeo and Sekikan into action.

"" Yes.

Frederick and Takeo snorted.
