I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle - Chapter 128

"In the meantime, we'll have to do what we can."

Carlos and the Fontana army are gone, and the wind is blowing, leaving me in the hills of Eindrad.

I wonder what Carlos thinks.

I don't know what it means to leave a few of them here and then re-launch them.

But I can't just complain.

Eindrad's defenses have been handed over, and we must do more than accept them.

There is no future for me when I leave. [M]

"Let's start with repairing the collapse, how long do we have to defend the problem?

"Probably not for that long. However, I have heard that Carlos' attack on the northern city for reinforcements is also a siege battle against the castle. It can't be a short period of time."

"Leon, just calculate a predictable defense period. The old man is supposed to be standing here for longer than that so he can secure and carry a good amount of food. Is there anything else I should have done earlier?

"General, aren't you going to recruit? We can't defend this place with the numbers we have."

"That's right. I want Balgas to gather his men. It is okay to say that the person who wishes to work will use his/her good offices at a later time. Just gather the numbers."

Roger that, General.

"The soldiers you gathered will be collected by Vargas. Especially the rules and orders. The village nearby is said to have been ruled by the Ulk family for many years, and you can punish anyone who does something strange. I begged you."

"Als, what am I supposed to do?

"My part-time brother will build a defense line with me."

"The line of defense? What is that?

"I will consolidate the defenses here to protect this hill of Eindrad. But that alone may be tough. I would also like to think about it coming out. Build a line of defense for that."

"... what exactly are you doing?

"The part-time brother would have led a cavalry to intercept enemy reinforcements during Eindrad's offensive. I think we have some idea of the enemy's path. I'm going to build a tower and build a surveillance tower where I can keep an eye on that predictable route. I want to use the smoke and beacon to prepare for an interception before I cage the enemy."

I see, the surveillance tower. Then I'll show you where I care, Ars. "

"All right, then, prepare yourselves. I'll protect you no matter what."

"" "" Oh "" "

This is how our Eindrad defenses began.

"Looks like we've gathered, Vargas."

"Oh, General. That's a lot of people. They're like farmers' second boys and triple-boys all the time. We volunteered because the general was so popular."

"My popularity? I don't even realize if there is such a thing...."

"Whatever it is, it ranged from peasants like ourselves to knights with territory," said the general. Besides, the last time I won, my name was spreading. I was hoping maybe I could be a knight with magic. "

I see. But it's important that the defenses are united. I have to tell you not to act too hastily. "

"Well, General, how are you going to defend yourself? Usually you defend it with a bow from above the walls, right? But you're not practicing your bows properly. You're gonna do it now?

"That's the problem, isn't it? It's hard because it takes time for the bow to work properly."

"Do you have an idea?

"I'm thinking about it. I knew you were going to use bricks as a weapon."

"Brick? Drop it off the walls? I don't think it's bad, but it's only good for the one who's climbing the wall.

"I know that's not enough. Use the catapults."

I decided on the concept of turning Barca into a cavalry, but I didn't think about defense or cage castles at all.

I had in mind the possibility that such a time would come.

So there is the question of how to defend.

What I thought about at that time was the existence of a weapon.

Magic exists in this world, and the presence or absence of magic on the battlefield is involved in the battlefield.

If so, I wondered if there was any powerful magic that would determine the match.

But I remembered the royal story I told Lilina before.

The royal family used powerful magic.

I do think it was very strong, and it was the driving force behind calming the land.

However, if you don't make killer magic, you can use it indiscriminately even if you have a Vulcan last name.

Speaking of which, magic that can only be used by me is not easy to use.

In that case, I have to be there every time.

I don't want to increase my attack magic too much, and I want to secure an attack method that can be used even without me.

I decided to build a catapult to satisfy both.

Use Teko's principles to fly bricks further afield by putting them on the tip of a stick shaped like a large spoon.

If we hit that brick properly, even Bargas, who has increased his defenses, won't be safe.

It can be used as a weapon of choice, or against enemy forces that hit beyond the Wall.

"... but, General, where is it? You didn't bring it from Vulcania, did you? If we're going to make it here, we need to get the ingredients ready right away.

"Fufufu, don't panic, Vargas. I'll make the catapults. The ingredients can be made with soil."

That said, I put my hand on the ground and poured magic into the earth.

The Catapults were already prototyping with Gran once they were in Vulcania.

At that time, I remember the structure of the catapulter in [memory preservation].

If so, it's easy.

I built a catapulter with hardened bricks, just as I remember.

Catapults with four wheels that allow you to move around.

Make the opposite side of the stick heavier to fly the brick.

Then connect the string to the catapult side of the rod and connect it to the handle part on the base of the catapult.

When the handle is glued, the side connected to the string is lowered, but if it is released, it can be jumped up and lifted, and the brick is thrown.

Bricks that can be used as stone-throwing weapons can be crafted by anyone with a Vulcan surname.

Don't worry about losing bulletproof bricks.

Thus, the hills of Eindrad were quickly transformed into fortifications where many catapults were installed during the day.
