"Als, my father seems to be dreaming."
"What's the matter, Dad? It's not time to dream yet. It's midday.
"No, I can't believe what I'm seeing. Why is it so strange that you've just come back and forth to Barca?
"Something funny?
"No, what's wrong? You don't look like that, Ars. That's funny. The terrain on Eindrad's hill changed before I even saw it."
Apart from Balgas, my father returned to Vulcania to recruit new recruits and bring people.
That's how the first voice came back.
Well, you can't be surprised.
Anyway, the terrain is really changing.
The hills of Eindrad raise the ground a little bit more than their vicinity, making it a high altitude to say whether it is a small mountain or not.
They often pass south from the Fontana and Ulk territories, and they have been fighting for control of the area for many years.
Until recently, this Eindrad hill was owned and fortified by the Urk family.
The hills of Eindrad are about the height of a mountain.
The Fontana army took this place from Urk, and Carlos left the hill with me.
Leave this hill to me and order me to defend myself.
That's why I consolidated my defenses here.
In Eindrad's hill offensive tactics, we didn't let the Ulk soldiers escape from the hilltop fort, but instead increased the number of walls we built to prevent attacks from outside.
It was connected by a complete circle around the fortified hill.
But I thought it wasn't enough, so I put my hands on the hill.
That said, what I did is not different from what I always did.
I just built a moat on the outside of the wall.
However, since there was a wall at a slight elevation to the outer circumference of the hill, the appearance changed when a borehole was dug outside the wall and the surface was reinforced with [wall architecture].
If it is flat, it becomes an empty borehole when a hole is drilled in the ground outside the wall.
However, digging a hill that was more elevated than the rest of the ground made it seem like there was no ground outside the wall.
In other words, the look of Eindrad's hill was transformed into a large fortress surrounded by brick walls nearly 30 meters high, rather than the hills to date.
From a distance, it could be described as a fortress shaped like a cupcake.
"Maybe you dug too much dirt in the hills."
"Not at all. Are you sure you're okay? You can't be kidding me if you break up."
"Maybe it's okay. Because the side is reinforced by [wall architecture] twice."
"Really... But what you're really doing is futile, Ars."
"I can't help it. If we don't do this, we won't be able to defend this place with the Balkans. If you have any complaints, tell Carlos. Stop pretending to be rude."
"You can't say that. That's enough. Let me in."
"Ah, then I'll come with you. The entrance is this way. Follow me."
My father says he gave up like his expression fell out of his face.
After that, I went into Eindrad Hills with my father, and then Fort Eindrad.
"This place is surrounded by walls, but is there only one climb?
"No, there's another entrance on the other side."
I see. But the entrance looks like a hanging bridge. You want me to pull it up at night?
"That's right. I can completely close the castle in case of an emergency. It's made of hardened bricks, so it's very defensive."
"... if you look at this, the Ulks won't attack anymore."
I hope so.
Bring your father and his recruits to the entrance to Fort Eindrad.
I dug about 20 meters of ground on the outside of a 10 meter wall, so I need to climb 20 meters to stay inside the fort.
That's why I made the entrance to bridge the gap.
Every morning and night, large hardened brick plates that are manually lifted and lowered become a barrier to prevent enemy intrusion and a slope to bring people in.
It's pretty heavy and difficult to use, but it's not half as heavy.
But this is not the land we usually live in, it's the fortress that protects the most important land.
I thought it would be better to prioritize defense over inconvenience.
Sometimes it's a countermeasure because you've dug too much ground.
Fort Eindrad's exterior walls are not hardened bricks, but regular bricks.
As usual, we are working to make it possible to intercept the walls made of [wall architecture].
But there's something a little different about Vulcania.
The inside of the wall is further uphill, but there are a number of noisy weapons along the way.
It's a catapulter I saved and reproduced.
The catapults were accompanied by soldiers who had volunteered for the Vulcan army.
The bricks that were still being made and placed in Brick Making were piled up near the catapults, and the recruits were throwing them out of the wall.
After all, we can't use it suddenly in action.
At a minimum, we need to know how far we can fly and how we can target and train.
Pom-poms and bricks were seen flying in a direction where there were not many people.
"Yes, it has arrived. Recruits will sleep here. The caterer's over there making the meal, so tell him to pick it up."
Further up, there is a place for soldiers to sleep.
I am using the place that the Uluk family was building.
Most of all, I'm recreating my home to the top.
Thus, the hills of Eindrad were steadily transformed into fortifications with iron walls.
