Chapter 127 - Fort Einrad

 

"Ars, I think your father is dreaming."

 

"What's the matter, Dad? It's not time to dream yet. It's the middle of the day."

 

"No, I can't believe what I'm seeing. Why is it that I've just been to Barca and back and things have gotten so crazy?"

 

"Strange?"

 

"What do you mean? Don't look at me like that, Ars. It's not a joke. The terrain of Einrad Hill has changed in a short time!"

 

　Apart from Vargas, my father went back to Barcania to recruit and bring in new people.

 

　This was the first thing he said when he came back.

 

　Well, I suppose it's understandable that he was surprised.

 

　After all, the terrain had really changed.

 

　Einrad Hill is a little higher than the surrounding area and is basically a small mountain.

 

　It is said that many people who go south from the Fontana or Uruk territories often pass through this area, even while the two families have been fighting for control of this land for many years.

 

　Until recently, Einrad Hill was owned and fortressed by the Uruk family.

 

　Once again, Einrad Hill is about the height of a small mountain.

 

　The Fontana army had captured it from the Uruks, then Carlos had left the hill to me and ordered me to guard it.

 

　So I fortified the defenses here.

 

　In the battle for Einrad Hill, I tried to keep the Uruk soldiers from escaping from the fort on top of the hill, and also, I built more walls to prevent attacks from the outside.

 

　The hastily constructed wall that surrounded the fortified hill was connected to it in a way that it went completely around the hill.

 

　But as if that wasn't enough, I made some more changes to the hill.

 

What I did was the same as usual.

 

　We simply built a moat around the outside of the wall.

 

　However, since the wall was located at a slight elevation even though it was on the periphery of the hill, digging a moat outside the wall and reinforcing the surface with [Wall Construction] changed the appearance.

 

　If the ground was flat, digging a hole in the ground outside the wall would result in an empty moat.

 

　However, by digging a hill that was raised above the rest of the ground, it became as if there was no ground outside the wall.

 

　In other words, Einrad's Hill was no longer the hill it had been, but a large fort surrounded by a brick wall nearly 30 meters high.

 

　From a distance, it could be described as a fort shaped like a cupcake.

 

"Maybe we dug up a little too much dirt on the hill.

 

"Not just a 'bit' at all! I hope everything's going to be okay. If it collapses, it won't be a joke."

 

"It'll be fine. The sides have been reinforced with two walls."

 

"I see. ....... But Ars is really reckless in what you do, aren't you?"

 

"It can't be helped. It's impossible for the Barca army to defend this place if we don't do at least this much. If you have a problem with that, you should tell Carlos to stop being so reckless."

 

"I can't say that to him! That's enough. Let me in, please."

"Yeah, I'll guide you, then. The entrance is this way. Follow me."

 

　My father, whose face seemed to have lost its expression, said with resignation.

 

　With that, I walked with my father into Einrad Hill, or rather, Fort Einrad.

 

　※　※　※

 

"This place is surrounded by a wall, but is there only one way up?"

 

"No, there is another entrance on the other side."

 

"But the entrance is like a suspension bridge. Is it supposed to be pulled up at night?"

 

"Yes, it is. In case of emergency, it can be completely closed off for a siege. It's made of Hardened Bricks, so it's very well protected."

 

"...... I'm sure the Uruks won't attack us now that they've seen this."

 

"I hope so."

 

　With my dad and the recruits in tow, we faced the entrance to Fort Einrad.

 

　The troops had dug 20 meters into the ground outside the 10-meter wall, so we would have to climb 20 meters to get inside the fort.

 

　Therefore, the entrance was built to fill the gap.

 

　The large Hardened Brick slabs, which were raised and lowered by hand every morning and night, became a barrier to prevent the enemy from entering and a ramp to invite people inside.

 

　To be honest, it is quite heavy and not easy to use.

 

　However, this is not a place where one would normally live, but a fortress that protects a strategic location.

 

　I thought it would be better to prioritize defense rather than inconvenience, so I made this.

 

　To be frank, it was a way of coping with the fact that I had dug up too much ground.

 

　The exterior walls of Fort Einrad are not Hardened Bricks, but ordinary bricks.

 

　Here, as usual, we have modified the walls built with [Wall Construction] to make them interceptable.

 

　However, there is a slight difference from Barcania's walls.

 

　On the inside of the wall, there is a further uphill slope, and in the middle of that slope, there are a number of damaging weapons.

 

　They are the catapults that I had stored in my memory at Barcania and recreated here.

 

　The catapults are maintained by the soldiers who have newly volunteered for the Barca army.

 

Even now, the bricks left over from the [Brick Creation] process were piled up near the stone thrower, and the new recruits were launching them, practicing how to use the catapults.

 

　After all, they can't just first use them in a real battle.

 

　At the very least, they would have to train to see how far they could fly and how to aim in the right direction.

 

　We could see bricks flying in the direction of less crowded areas everywhere.

 

"Yes, we're here. This is where the new recruits will sleep. The rations are being made over there, so tell them to pick them up there."

 

　Further up the hill, we found the place where the soldiers would sleep.

 

　This is the same place that the Uruk family had built, although I've recreated my own house on the top.

 

　In this way, Einrad Hill was steadily transformed into an ironclad defense fort.
