Chapter 203: Reclaiming the savage lands
Frightened by something, I continued to make golems. It was then that a proposal came from Dryas and Undine.
「Reclaim the savage lands?」
「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 been completed, the establishment of the main road will move forward, so during that, I was thinking the surroundings of the Sanctuary can largely be reclaimed.」Follow the latest novels on
「The flowing river needs to be altered greatly, but the savage lands have several rivers that run through it and there is a large lake where the spring water gushes forth. If Undine and I cooperate, it would be possible to change wastelands into forests and grasslands.」
「Reclamation huh..................」
I considered what Dryas and Undine mentioned.
The remainder of the current savage lands 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 the land 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 farmland 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.」
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 blatantly frowned.
「............the zealots and war maniacs?」
「I can’t say for certain, but it is likely those two countries.」
「......fumu, I would implore you to not be hindered by the savage land reclamation 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 circular 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 occur. However, it is necessary to coordinate this with the three countries. I will relay 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, the land inside can be cultivated to farmland 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 success of the farmland was promised.
Afterwards, Margrave Volton promised to discuss this with the three nations and I was done being Undine’s messenger.
