Chapter 20: Preparingin advance


    <strong>Preparing</strong><strong>in </strong><strong>a</strong><strong>dvance</strong>


    "Marco, you have the experience of going towar. Tell me, how should I defend myself if a group of people attacksmy territory from the sea?"


    At this moment, n was riding a horse and inspecting the territory of Rose Town with Marco.


    Today the Rose Town had a new look with its brand-new houses and its t, spacious stone roads.The previous shabby old town hadpletely disappeared.


    Instead of just nting roses across the entire Rose Town, most of the nicend had now been nted with the crop seeds that n had given them.


    Moreover, n also asked Sparrow to go andbuy some food and clothes in order to solve the towns food and clothing problem.


    Of course, these thingswere not free.On the contrary, these things were nsinvestmentin the townspeople.


    After all, n wasnta selfless kind guy.Although he was willing to improve the quality of life of the townspeople, he was not willing to show too much kindness.


    Furthermore, he was afraid that the townspeople would bezy once they knew that he was very kind.


    In any case, the entire Rose Town had beenpletely reborn with n''s hard work. Everyone could eat and drink, put on new clothes, and work hard to grow crops for the Lord.


    Marco saw all of this. This made him even more certain that he was following a great Lord and a powerful knight.


    "Why are you asking me about that, My Lord? Although some ces near the sea in the Duchyhave been harassed by some pirates in recent years, Rose Town is not among the targets of those pirates."


    Marco said respectfully.


    "Marco, you are talking about the old Rose Town."


    n reminded him, "You must know that my territory is nowpletely different!"


    Marco was stunned when he heard this,andthen he started to think.


    "You''re right, My Lord. I was careless."


    Immediately afterward, Marco looked at the beach not far away.


    Three big mountains surrounded Rose Town in the middle, leaving a sandy beach that was not particrlyrge in contact with the sea.


    "My Lord, our location is very good, and the contact area of our territory with the ocean is small.We only need to build some defense facilities at a distance of five hundred meters from the coastand we will easily be able to ce a group of about a hundred peoplewith the help of the terrain."


    Marco continued to speak: "If we can set up atrap ahead of timeandarrange the manpower, we may beable to resist even more enemies."


    "Yes, your idea issimr to my idea. Now we have twenty elite warriorsand fifty warriorsthat have just been trained in our hands."


    n calmly looked at the distant sea and said, "We can build some watchtowers on the two surrounding mountains, and two watchtowers near the beach."


    "With the mountains as a cover, the pirate ships won''t be able to detect the existence of the watchtowers if they are not close to it. Once theyeclose, they will be in the watchtower''srange."


    "At the same time, we need to build some fortifications here "


    n also expressed his thoughts.


    Marco was shockedbecausehe hadnot considered so many things at all. n was more like a veteran on the battlefield aspared to him.


    He had a very clever vision for battles and fortifications.


    This wasincredible.


    Marco''s respect for n becamestronger.


    "All right, thats aboutit for today. Tomorrow, you will lead your men and start building fortifications. As for the watchtower, theres no need to worry about it because our men can hide on two mountainsand shoot at the enemy."


    n said indifferently.


    "Yes, My Lord!"


    Marco nodded his head to indicate that he understood. At the same time, he was curious, "My Lord, do you really think that someone wittack Rose Town?"


    n smiled. His smile was very bright and eye-catchingunder the sunlight.


    "Marco, we are located atthe border of the Duchy.We must not be careless,otherwise, we will be destroyed!"


    "We just need to prepare everything in advance.Ifthose stupid and ignorant pirates dare toe here, we caneasily deal with them and throw them into the sea to feed the fish."


    For a moment, Marco became silent upon hearing n''s words.


    "My Lord, you are right. As a knight, wemust always remind ourselvesto not let ourguard down!"


    "But My Lord, we don''t have bows and arrows, and we haven''t trained archers."


    n smiledat the words: "If you don''t have bows and arrows, just buy them and if you don''t have an archer, just train one. Is aproblem that can be solved with money calleda problem?"


    Soon, the two of them finished inspectingthe town and rode back to the castle.


    After Marco was sent away, n called for Sparrow, the treasurer, and asked himto immediately take twenty warriors to Elon''s territory, and purchase seventy longbows and arge number of arrows.


    n waspletely relieved after he arranged everything.


    Now he just needed to wait for the pirates to attackin twoweeks.n promisedto give these guys a huge surprise!


    As for the issue of the traitor, they would naturally be found after those pirates were defeated.
