Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

"It's interesting to build a room in the wall and make it into a dormitory, but I don't think we should build a room that large on the walls on the west side... of the Beastman Kingdom side."

The Beastman nation is good at fighting with its physical abilities, and is not good at attacking castles... so there are sections that attach importance to bases such as castles and strongholds, and it is because of the importance that we attach to the development of siege weapons and mass production willingness.

We will do the battle ourselves, and we will leave the castle assault to the weapons. That's what we call the Battle of the Beastling Kingdom... "

I arrived at the planned location of the Sekigo, and came down from the carriage...... Horoscope, I built a wall here, I built a tower here, and the bamboo and well show this place, and Paige Octado raised her voice when she saw the rope strung up everywhere.

In the planned area of the Sekiguchi, holes have been dug and stones piled up, and the construction of the Sekiguchi by the Domans and Montos has already begun...... The people who were working stopped the work and listened to Octado's story.

"The main siege weapons used in the Beastling Kingdom are baristas, stone throwers, and turrets... Basically, it's a choice between defeating or overcoming them."

It may seem that it is not necessary to prepare for that at the Sekigo, but because it is the Sekigo, it is the place that becomes the face of the country. By preparing for the siege weapon and showing off its appearance... it will lead to more peace and friendship.

Even in the negotiating arena, such silent pressure can be more effective than full words. ”

And Octado said that... I was impressed by the story, and when I heard from the dog clan at the guest house, Arnault sneaked in a small voice and met them on the way.

(It's been blue ever since we met, but now it's strong blue.)

That's what I'm telling you.

Are you aware of what happened to Arnagh?... Octado continues his conversation without reacting.

"Even if you can't protect all of the borders at the customs post, having a large base will make security much easier.... If you look at the customs post, bandits will naturally be reluctant and inactive.... If you can do business in front of or inside the customs post, you will be grateful as a merchant. It would be a place where you can expand the inspection area of the product and do business there.

... of course, these are just advice, or a merchant's request, and I hope you can leave Diaz alone. "

Having said that, Octado raises both ends of his big mouth to create a smile.

That's what I did.

"... no, I'm glad you gave me good advice."

I don't know if I can reflect everything, but I want to reflect everything as much as I can...... so that we can use it comfortably for each other. I want it to be a key point of peace and friendship. "

And when he returned it, Octado smiled even deeper, rubbing his hands together again and again and again...... Paige Fa nodded again and again with a similar smile.

Where the story goes, Octado has a question, some Dongmen and Monto come... Construction and military personnel start to ask questions, Octado answers them fluently, and another Dongman writes the questions and answers on paper... in the corner or back of the bundle of blueprints of the Sekiya... how to make a Sekiya, how to make it, I or Arunar without such knowledge silently decide to watch the situation.

Then a little time passed... and it was time to go back to the village of Irk. The dog people who were walking around, at my feet, carrying tools and so on reacted to something and stood up with their ears raised.

I stood up and looked around... I was frightened or alarmed by something, and immediately after that, the ground began to shake slowly but surely.

"... an earthquake is unusual."

It's not that it's a big shake, but it can feel it firmly, and it's a weak shake like that, so if you think it will be over soon, it will continue for a long time... I wonder if there was something in such a shake, and the Dong people start to put their ears to the ground and ask something.

The Dog Man was vigilant, the Dong Man was checking the ground, and me and Arnault waited to settle in because it was not very wobbly...... Paigin and the others looked around with a frown.

That's how the earthquake lasted so long that it couldn't have been a normal earthquake... When I started to worry about how long it would last, it finally subsided as slowly as when it started... Well, if it had lasted for so long, it wouldn't have been a problem. When Alner and I stroked down our chest and exhaled a sigh of relief... there, Octado pushed out his huge face and raised his voice nervously and hard.

"Master Diaz, please be ready immediately. This is a harbinger... it must be a wobble to announce the beginning of the disaster."

It's not a joke or a threat, it's a voice or an attitude that seems to be sincerely trying to advise us... I firmly took that word and returned it with a straight look into Octado's eyes.

"If Octado says so, I'll do whatever it takes... but what kind of disaster exactly is going to start?"

"... the Earth Dragon has invaded."

This monster, also known as the Earth Dragon in Beastman Country, is said to have the habit of attacking the human world in multiple ways as a signal of such an unusually long earthquake. It is an ecological monster. It is a dragon that invades after the earthquake. In other words, it is also the origin of the name Earth Dragon.

The Beastling Kingdom has a record of a major invasion that took place hundreds of years ago... when five Earth Dragons were identified across the continent... "

Earth Dragon... Tortoise.

It was a monster I had crushed before... and Klaus said it was like pulling out a siege weapon to fight.

Five of them across the continent... five of them.

The entire continent is... I don't know how big it is, but as far as I know, there are three kingdoms: the Beastman kingdom, the kingdom, and the empire... If there are five of them in a continent that big, it would be subtle to say whether they come here or not... Even if they come here, it would be about one or two.

"That's two tortoises..."

Well, with the armor the Nalvants made for me, it would be okay to let out a flame, and with the battle axe, I would be able to shatter the armor without any problems... even if two of them came at the same time.

Even if five tortoises came at the same time... I still feel like I can fight them, and I don't think I'll struggle that much.

And when I think about it, a small voice rises from Aima, who was lurking in her nostrils.

(Diaz, you think you can afford to defeat someone you've defeated... that's just Diaz's story. It's not going to happen anywhere else in the Kingdom or Eldan's, so you have to share information with him.

In some cases, Diaz may go to reinforcements, and vice versa... make sure you work closely with Eldan in particular.

In the meantime, let's have Sirhee and the others fly alert to see if the Earth Dragon is really coming.

The Earth Dragon shouldn't have the same mobility as the Wind Dragon... so even after checking where they are, you should be able to take action and intercept them in time)

After receiving that word, I was convinced that it was the same... and after convinced, I explained the content to everyone around me in my own words.

Then the anxious Arnar and the Dogmen gave me a reassuring expression... The Mont and the Dongmen started to say that they would be grateful if they could get the materials... and the Paigins smiled softly because they were happy that they accepted their advice.

I nodded with a smile... and Octado clapped his hand and called out with a serious expression.

"I'm sorry Master Diaz is in such a hurry, but I think I'll return to the Beastman country as soon as the shipment has been handed over."

I just hope that we can deepen the relationship between the two countries so that we can cooperate and collaborate in these situations... but in the end, we will be able to do so again.

I would like to interrupt you again if things calm down, so please continue to do good business with the Paigin Chamber of Commerce. "

That said, Octado bowed his head deeply, and Fa and the guards followed suit... I returned the words while receiving advice from Aima to Paige and the others.

"I look forward to a good relationship in the future,

I wish you a safe return and a reunion with a smile.

I just want to thank Yaten for the investment from the Beastland and the supplies prepared by the Paigin Chamber of Commerce...... I want you to know that I have received it from Yaten and that I am deeply grateful...... I wish the Beastland a safe and prosperous country. "

Then Octado raised his face with a smile and rubbed his hands against it.

“I'll leave it to this Octado.”

And they gave me a powerful voice back.
