Since I was reincarnated as a poor farmer in another world, I decided to lay bricks and build a castle
Anti-reinforcement measures
"Dear Ars, I would like to make a statement. May I?
"Lyon? What's the matter with you?
"Yes, I think the attack on Einrad Hill will go faster than you can imagine due to the activity of Dear Ars this time. But still, the Einrad hills have already been occupied by the Urks for several years, and the fortification is progressing. I don't think it's going to end easily."
"Yeah. Maybe."
"As for the stream, once we've recaptured the villages around the hill, we'll be working on the hill offense. It's just going to take as long as the moon is full until we can attack as soon as possible."
"Seriously...... Will it take that long? I'm your newlywed."
"I know. But let's put that aside. Did Mr. Ars say that Mr. Carlos was better off not participating in the offensive strategy itself? Are you sure about that?
"Oh. Right. This is Cavalry Main, so I don't want to be a part of a fortified hill attack. It's convenient."
"But it doesn't mean I should be doing nothing. For starters, it would be desirable for the Fontana Army to keep its position completely in order to focus on the attack on the hills as well. I'd like to keep it that way."
"What do you want to do? What the hell is that?"
"It's about stopping enemy reinforcements. This Einrad hill is not the only place where the Wolk family has the power of war. I can say that the meaning of fortifying this place is to hold up until reinforcements from Urk territory arrive. There will always be reinforcements."
"Is that it? There are other guys who were given the role of stopping reinforcements. The soldiers who left the city of Fontana didn't just gather here. A separate unit to stop reinforcements has already been ordered out by Lord Carlos."
"Right. But that also means attacking the city to the north more than Einrad Hill to turn the Urk family's eyes towards you. We cannot prevent reinforcements altogether. So we should take action."
"Right. Okay, I'll figure out a way to prevent reinforcements."
Carlos gave me the Nine-Tailed Sword, Urk's magic sword, and me coming back to my position as I skipped.
But there was something about me.
This is Lion, who became my brother and I this year.
Apparently, he was thinking about the next course of action to be taken after understanding the current situation.
As far as I'm concerned, I was feeling like an end-of-work salesman at the time you told me I didn't have to be in the offensive strategy, but it's a nasty difference.
But the opinion was worth a thought.
A reinforcement unit from the Urk family?
Indeed, it would be a mistake to assume that there is no reinforcement.
Reinforcements will surely come to help the hills being attacked.
In Carlos' pre-emptive measures, he also fought at another point, depriving him of the leeway to come and help.
But it may also have only a subtle effect in the present situation.
Whatever it is, it's because I've already breasted the first battle and taken over the enemy general.
Whether you have eyes on a separate unit or this one is a delicate place.
After all, you should think about when enemy reinforcements arrive.
I took Leon's advice and decided to think about what to do.
"... Dear Ars. We should prevent enemy reinforcements, and so on. It's me, but I never thought I'd do this."
"What the hell. We can stop enemy reinforcements with this, right? Is there a problem?
"No, I don't have a problem... You can't believe what you're seeing..."
"Right. Well, I think it took me a little too long."
"I don't think it's a big deal dimension. No one would normally think of walling the hills to prevent reinforcements."
"Well, the Barca Army has something like a job to do with building walls. We're all getting used to it, and we're getting more efficient at working. It's a good trend."
I thought and implemented the measures because Lion told me to prevent enemy reinforcements.
Lion, who sees it, opens his mouth gently, unlikely, crushing.
Well, maybe that's natural, too.
The way I took to prevent enemy reinforcements was that they would encircle the Einrad hill itself, which is currently under attack.
After suppressing the surrounding villages, it became a strategy and I actually saw the actual hills, but from me it was smaller than the hills, but it felt like mountains.
There are routes to climb some hills, but other than that, rocks and the like are quite rolling and difficult to climb.
The easy-to-climb route has a defensive wall built to be an examination, and the path leading there is narrow, making it easier to be attacked with bows and arrows from above.
I felt Lion's opinion that he was not likely to be able to attack with a single strand of string and that it would take time was the best one.
They still can't avoid a protracted war.
There will always be reinforcements.
That's all the time. This fortified hill must make money.
However, it is difficult for a small number of Barca troops to stop that reinforcement.
If so, instead of intercepting enemy reinforcements, just make it a situation where reinforcements can't reach the hills.
That's how I thought about [wall architecture] all around the hill.
When the Urks came to reinforce them, they started building walls off the route they seemed to pass, and eventually built walls to circle the hills all the way around.
Of course, the walls aren't completely enclosed, but this one has a tower higher than the one I build and binoculars that allow you to see the distance.
Wherever reinforcements come from, it will be possible to find them at a glance and intercept them while using the wall.
The attacking side will also be able to focus on the attack with confidence.
"Lion, that's not the end of this. This wall is only meant to keep reinforcements out of the hills. We've got to keep our perimeter on alert."
"Is perimeter alert Mr. Byte's patrol? How far is that thing going?
"For once, we can get to the point where we can come back here on a day trip. You're not that far away."
"Even if it's a day trip, you're on a Valkyrie, right? I wonder what kind of distance you're running."
He has also put out a part-time brother outside since the wall was completed to some extent.
As a part-time brother, I guess the task of building walls is not enough.
He goes out to villages around the hills and so on to see if Urk's reinforcements are coming.
A long ride on the Valkyrie should clear up some of the depression.
As such, I remained on perimeter alert while Carlos attacked Einrad Hill.
