Chapter 203: Reiming the savagends
Frightened by something, I continued to make golems. It was then that a proposal came from Dryas and Undine.
「Reim the savagends?」
「Yes, since the three countries found out about the Sanctuary, the other countries would also know, wouldn’t they? As the town to the east of the Sanctuary has beenpleted, the establishment of the main road will move forward, so during that, I was thinking the surroundings of the Sanctuary canrgely be reimed.」
「The flowing river needs to be altered greatly, but the savagends have several rivers that run through it and there is argeke where the spring water gushes forth. If Undine and I cooperate, it would be possible to change wastnds into forests and grasnds.」
「Remation huh………………」
I considered what Dryas and Undine mentioned.
The remainder of the current savagends in the west of the continent connects Yggurle Kingdom, Valkyra Kingdom, and Lomaria Kingdom by a highway that starts from Wedgefort, and the monsters in that area started being exterminated.
Monster nests still dot thend even now. Within that, there is a motion for the three countries to deal with the numerous Undead-type monster nests which don’t have materials with much profit.
「Would it be possible to construct a fort in the area between Wedgefort and the new town?」
Titan and I can build the town’s container. This time, we can even get the Dwarves and Elves in the Sanctuary to help out. But people who would inhabit it probably wouldn’t gather immediately. If that’s the case, I thought that it would be nice if forts are built to surround the town already present and cultivate the farnd within.
「Whatever the case, we’ll have to ask for coordination between the people involved.」
「Well then, we will be going.」
「Eh, w-wait!」
Saying just that, Undine and Dryas went back.
「It had been splendidly pushed onto you.」
「…………can I <em>not</em> be the one to talk to the higher ups of the three countries?」
「For starters, how about consulting with Margrave Volton-sama? As for the Trination, I believe that they would wee defense for their new town.」
The vast savagends that fill the west of the continent will connect the new nearlyplete fortress town of Lomaria Kingdom, to Wedgefort and then to the town east of the Sanctuary via a highway. If that line is reimed until Yggurle Kingdom to the north, it would beparable in size to Valkyra Kingdom and Lomaria Kingdom.
Within that expanse, the remaining small monster nests were simr to the nests that exist within Lomaria and Valkyra, so they weren’t too much of an obstacle. It would be different story if the monster nests were of the same ss as the Forest of Death though.
Situated in the border region of Valkyra Kingdom, Volton is bustling with people as it nowadays acts as the entry point to the Sanctuary from within the country.
Nervous, I stood in front of the castleー the Margravial residence of the Lord of this fiefー which is located in the heart of the town that could be called my base.
「<em>Haa</em>, this kind of thing isn’t my job.」
「Well, it would be a source of trouble to reim the savagends without giving notice to the three countries, after all.」
「Yeah, I’m aware of that, Sophia.」
If it was done before Wedgefort and the Sanctuary, anyone could reim the savagends and no country would say anything about it though. The ns to reim it had been at a standstill. Nowadays, no country dared to reim the savagends.
50 years ago, Triaria Kingdom suffered damages from monsters during their march through the savagends to invade Yggure Kingdom, which could be said to have resulted to their defeat at the war with Yggurle Kingdom.
When we visited Margrave Volton’s castle, the Chambein Xervus-san greeted us.
「My, my, Iruma-dono. You are very much wee. I will guide you to Master immediately, so pleasee this way.」
「I’m sorry for troubling you.」
Sophia and I were guided to the reception office where we would wait for Margrave Volton.
After entering the room and waiting for a little while, the door opened and Margrave Volton entered.
「Ooh, Iruma-dono, trade with the Sanctuary is starting gradually and every country is grateful for it. In addition, the new instruments and music seem to be spreading tremendously.」
「That’s great, isn’t it?」
「Hmm? Could it be a different matter?」
「Yes, actually…………」
I talked about the turbulent presence in the middle of the continent that Undine and the Great Spirits told me about. Hearing the words “middle of the continent”, Margrave Volton tantly frowned.
「…………the zealots and war maniacs?」
「I can’t say for certain, but it is likely those two countries.」
「……<em>fumu</em>, I would implore you to not be hindered by the savagend remation in your work to grow the Sanctuary. As such, Iruma-dono, do you have a proposal?」
「Yes, actually…………」
So I suggested building forts to shield the south side of the town in the east of the Sanctuary in a circr form.
「……that’s not a bad idea. Presently, the three nations are working together to exterminate the monsters in the surroundings of the town, and it would be beneficial if there are forts that units can resupply and take refuge in should an unlikely event ur. However, it is necessary to coordinate this with the three countries. I will ry this immediately and contact you, Iruma-dono. If we receive your help with the construction, we will be able to shorten the construction period, after all.」
The fact is, by shielding the vicinity of the town with forts, thend inside can be cultivated to farnd and the safety of the farmers can be guaranteed. Margrave Volton was on board with this. It could also be said that with Dryas and Undine’s powers, the sess of the farnd was promised.
Afterwards, Margrave Volton promised to discuss this with the three nations and I was done being Undine’s messenger.
