Episode 915: Chiquith, Castle Town

"In other words, Lord Melba built this chicken and five other satellite towns, turning and building a new castle township, for this very point of protecting the town of Lubos."

Then the look on Elba's face after hearing Azio's explanation added even more risk.

"What the hell does it mean when something happens? I'm guessing that doesn't mean you're assuming that my low englin, which rings as the strongest in the world, is going to be in a war, right?

Then Shester interrupted this.

"That's funny. Loubos is also inland in Lowenglin. Borders with other countries are not even close by. Nevertheless, I didn't expect to bother to build a new satellite town...... apparently a guy named Melba is a pretty funny guy, huh?

Then Azio put his arms together and thought about it.

"Uh-huh, well, yeah. But once Melba doesn't recall a war with a foreign country, he seems to have reported to the papal administration that he made it in case of civil unrest or something."

I said with a subtle look that I could take both, whether Azio believed it or not.

Then Shester snorted one, humph.

"Isn't this a lot of civil unrest? Is there any other five satellite towns besides this town of chickis?

"Right - I didn't see it in person either, but I hear it's about the same size as the other five satellite towns, so I think it's pretty good overall."

"Mm-hmm. Miss Elba described Chickis earlier as new but small, but that's because she thought it was the emerging city of Loubos, and if she thought it was that satellite town, she could say it was quite something"

"Yeah, and it's basically a top priority to function as a castle town. So if it's this size… it's still quite a size…"

Then Elba, who had been kept outside the mosquito nets for a long time, broke into a conversation between the two of them.

"What does that mean? I wonder where the top priority is to function as a castle town?

Then Asio said to this.

"Yes. Typically, a town is one that builds towns with the highest priority for economic activity. Each townsperson shapes the town to make it easier for them to do business. So from the standpoint of defense, there's a lot of waste."

Then Elba thought with a cute face on his face.

"Uh-huh. Is that... does that mean the town is going to grow for nothing?

"Yes. Exactly. If you're trying to protect the town, it's better to make it as compact as possible. Smaller circles work. But when it's a town of the highest priority for economic activity, it's a big one in vain, so it's harder to protect. But this town of chickens and others is a top defense priority, so we build compact towns without wasted parts, which is why it can be a difficult town to defend easily."

Elba nodded greatly with admiration at Azio's explanation.
