Fun Territory Defense Chapter 186 (Patreon)

How About an Overnight Stay at one of the Great Fortress of Our Country?

Although I was looking forward to the barbecue party, I was actually really looking forward to spending the night in the Japanese-style architecture.

Although I could not reproduce the tatami mats well, I think the view from the top of the castle tower and turrets, as in period dramas, is quite nice. Above all, I was satisfied with the reproduction of the rooms, such as the long wooden corridor and the series of Japanese-style rooms separated by fusuma sliding doors, which often appear in period dramas.

I immediately walked around the room, opening several sliding doors that looked like Japanese-style rooms made for soldiers to take a rest. I opened the sliding doors with both hands and went to the next room. I would walk through the room to the front sliding door and open it again. Repeating this several times, I finally reach the long hallway that surrounds the floor.

"Oh, that looks good!"

It's frustrating that I'm the only one who knows the original view who can appreciate this recreation. As much as I would like to say so, it is a wonderful Japanese castle. It is a beautiful castle that combines grandeur, functionality, and style. This is the great castle of Japan.

"...It really is a magical castle, isn't it?"

"I have never seen a castle like this before. It's so unique and full of things I've never seen before. And yet it feels so harmonious and beautiful."

Till looked amused and Arte looked impressed as they looked around the castle, while Camsin looked at each floor, amazed at the steepness of the staircase.

Camsin was amazed at the steepness of the staircase as he looked at each floor, wondering if it was necessary to recreate the angle of the staircase.

While he was checking the condition of each floor, Pinin's group came up the stairs with a fearful look on their faces. They were as cautious as secret agents who have infiltrated enemy territory. Pinin, who had come up the stairs first, spotted me and looked up as if relieved.

"Oh, oh! Sir Van! I didn't expect the castle to be built in a few hours, but I didn't expect this..."

"Mm...at first I thought it was made of wooden planks pasted together..."

And the nobles scurried around and touched the sliding doors and other parts of the building with interest. Apparently, because the building was completed so quickly, they thought that I made had made a building only for show. Well, if they were trying to bluff the Jiernetta Kingdom army and stall them when they arrived, it would be a good strategy to show that they have a splendid fortress with a few fake buildings. It makes sense.

"...may we stay in this castle as well?"

Pinin asked in an attitude as if he was looking for a good mood. I feel a little uncomfortable looking up at him, but he is still talking to me in a low, requesting manner, so I feel like I should respond in a friendly manner.

I smiled and nodded to the aristocratic uncles.

"Of course! Since we're here, we've tried to make a castle that is strong in defense, so we've put a lot of thought into it. Please stay and give us your impressions!"

The nobles smiled as they replied.

"Oh! That's very kind of you!"

"Indeed, it is a very interesting structure!"

"For your information, what kind of tricks do you have?"

Such voices can be heard from the nobles who are now in a good mood. Apparently, they understood the stylistic beauty of Japanese castles. For some reason, I am strangely pleased and decide to give them a full explanation of the important secrets. Because people who like Japanese castles must be good people.

"This castle specializes in defense. I plan to install modern ballistas in all the high towers, and I plan to put a wall on the rooftop portion of the castle wall, just like the one around this castle. I plan to drill holes in that wall at equal intervals so that mechanical bows, Molotov cocktails, etc. can be dropped under the walls. Also, if someone were to sneak into the castle, I am making the stairs narrower and steeper so that those who invade the inside of the castle will not be able to easily climb up simply by thrusting their spears downwards from the upper floors. Moreover, in the future I am considering installing improved stone throwers and other devices that would have a far-reaching impact towards the roads of Jiernetta Kingdom side. With all of this, it will be possible to defend even against a large dragon, so even if Jiernetta Kingdom's army attacks again, we will surely be able to prevent it!"

He talks passionately and enthusiastically about defense. Then Pinin's group rolled their eyes and stopped moving. Could it be that, despite the novel castle design, they were looking over their shoulders because they were ordinary when it came to defense?

This was a bad idea, so I decided to follow up with a supplementary explanation.

"Oh, of course I'm going to build a long moat and surround it on all sides. We are also planning to combine it with the fort we built on the Wolfsburg Mountains side so that we can stay in the fort for as long as possible. This way, magic beasts and other monsters will attack on their own, and we will be able to get food. If I build a wall and a gate on each side of the slope, it will be an impregnable fortress."

When he said this and showed his guts, the nobles blinked their eyes and then froze again. After a moment, Pinin opens his mouth to represent them.

"...Well, that's a wonderful idea. However, it's going to be a rather large construction project, when do you plan to complete it by?"

Pinin inquired with a wry smile that bordered on bitterness. Now you've got us wondering when we're going to be able to leave, don't you?

Thinking this, I nodded and answered honestly.

"Even if we try our best, I think it will take a week. I am sorry, but without your cooperation, it will take two weeks. Could you please cooperate a little more?"

When you are in trouble, ask in a low-key manner. That is important. With that in mind, I ask low and ask for help. Pinin's group looked at each other and opened their mouths.

"Yes, I say we'll do it in a week..."

"Isn't that the craziest power imaginable..."

"...Wow, I've already decided to revere Sir Van. After you...

"You cunning bastard!?"

Someone said something loudly denouncing the others, and the others began to get louder and louder. I turn to Arte, looking at the noisy nobles.

How many people do you think will stay?"

When I ask this, Arte tilts his head with a wry smile.

"Probably all of them would be willing to cooperate..."
