"Admiral, there are new men coming from the village."
"From the village? What do you mean, Vargas?
"Probably because I heard about the victory here. If you mean you might be able to ride a winning horse now, or you might be able to give me some magic, then you might want to go under your umbrella."
"Well, you know what?"
"That's what it is."
Vargas came to report to me.
The contents were that new people came from the two villages.
Apparently I'm here to smoke some sweet juice.
Nevertheless, I want some fighting power now.
I've decided to put the newcomers under my umbrella.
From what I heard from the knights who took him prisoner, it turns out that this time 500 Fontana troops are still part of the force of war from the Fontana family.
Well, he just gathered them to capture a village boy on the outskirts of the territory called the northern village, and he never thought it would be a mass battle with people who use magic.
They even said that 30 knights out of 500 was a breaking force.
The next question, then, is what the Fontana family is going to do.
Because the Fontana family is aristocratic, but when it comes to force alone, it is 5,000 people, and even if it gathers up to its limit critical, it is about 7,000 to 8,000.
In that sense, it was that the presence of us Barca, who beat 500 troops and captured as many as six knights, would be reflected in the threat.
Whether to gather the rest of your battle power and try to squash it into a breath.
I honestly don't know.
But what was a delightful miscalculation was that, in the opinion of the knights, there would be no other noble intervention of the land.
Assuming you can't handle a village riot in your territory, what happens when you ask elsewhere for help?
Sometimes the mentz is rounded, but I owe a lot to that force.
You wouldn't want that as a Fontana family, it was.
"Nevertheless, I'm glad to have a knight who I know in Vargas. I'm from a civilian, so I'm glad you talked a lot about it."
He and I fought side by side a few times.
We were fortunate to be able to pull out valuable information without a rough imitation.
It's really big that Vargas was one of us.
This information needs to be brought to life.
"Okay, then it's quick, but let's strengthen the protection here. We're gonna build a castle, Vargas."
"Oh, leave it to me."
If the opponent is unwilling to rely on other forces, use them.
Apparently, it's because around here we're talking about a dispute between the nobles who rule the land and a territorial dispute.
There is also a great disadvantage for the Fontana family if it takes time.
There were also opinions to storm the city of Fontana with the momentum of the victory, but the siege battle was just as troublesome with the gathering of de amateurs about the battle.
It's going to be devastating.
Then I think we can also aim for a lasting war from here on out.
Can it not be put on the table of negotiations on the grounds of the return of prisoners where the other person has been stranded?
Yes, let's ask the old man to spread our story of legitimacy and victory to the other villages.
That's what I decided to do, working on my old man's merchant network, while improving the position in the north of the river with an increase to 300 people.
Build a castle.
The purpose is to protect ourselves, but the ultimate purpose is to negotiate a table with the Fontana family.
The primary purpose of this disturbance is to keep me safe, and also to gain my freedom.
Nothing. I don't want to uproot a nobleman named the Fontana family and make this land a burning field or my own.
If you took the territory, you wouldn't be able to keep it.
Anyway, it's just the ones around me who can't even write properly.
But in the presence of just peasant A, it doesn't even show up to the opponent to negotiate with for the nobility.
That's why I needed you to think that it's a pretty dangerous one to grab a victory and make it an enemy in this fight.
As things stand, however, the battle power difference is enormous just because we won the field once.
So I have to make you wonder if it's not a good idea to deal with Barca even more.
So I want to build a castle for that appeal.
"That's why. I want to build a castle that my opponent is afraid of and has a decent defense. Manufacturing is your eighteenth, Gran."
"No, Awkward, you didn't expect a day like this, Lord Ars"
"What? Can't you make it?
"What are you saying? Building a castle is like a dream for a builder since he was a child. I don't know how many times I've thought about building a castle."
"... does that mean you've never designed a castle? Are you okay?"
"I just haven't had a chance before. There must be no madman like Lord Ars who can build walls of his own accord."
"... you, you're making fun of me, aren't you? Maybe that's what you came to me for."
"That's not all, but, well, it was one of the reasons."
"... well, okay. I'm not good at building buildings, even if I can land and build walls. You're the only one I can count on. Come on, Gran."
"I got it. Let us make a splendid castle, Lord Ars."
There was a surprisingly tighter side to it than I thought, Gran.
But I also know that this guy has architectural skills from having his house built before.
I started talking about the architecture of the castle, exchanging opinions with Gran.
