20 Cap # 20 A security reinforcement
We are finally back, it's been a few days of travel, less than the last one but it's still tiring.
I am in the throne room, I have in my hand the general budget reports and the progress of the infrastructure.
Magnus: As I see it, the city is doing well, the supplies that I brought as a gift from the king of Bolmon will last us a few days and as I understand it, the first caravan of merchants loaded with products will arrive tomorrow. How are the fields going?
Noble: in perfect condition sir, thanks to the tools that the crop has given us it has become much easier, according to estimates in 4 months we will be able to self-supply in a minimal way.
Magnus: It's better than nothing, how is the development of the aqueduct and the sewer.
Noble2: sir, that part is almost finished, the main structure and half of the secondary one are finished.
Magnus: Well, well, about the jobs?
Noble3: According to estimates, in just three days the main projects that we had planned will be finished.
Magnus: I'm not going to leave anyone without a job, after finishing all the things, add a big park in the vacant area, then we'll start building a wall.
Noble1: a wall?
Magnus: Yes, a wall around the entire kingdom, it will be 10 meters high by 2 meters wide and will cover the entire border, leaving entrances only at the cardinal points.
Noble2: I don't want to offend him but…..
That phrase is already like saying, I'm going to offend him.
Noble2: Such a construction is impossible to do, it would take hundreds of years and even then I don't think it's possible.
Magnus: Hehehe, the thing is that the construction will only consist of digging a trench and then placing metal panels, which will be the ones that will make up the wall.
Noble3: Bu…but you said two meters thick, so far we know that it has good reserves due to all the tools and materials that were delivered for construction, but it is too much of a wall.
Magnus: I take care of that.
Nobles: Understood.
They have started to get used to my craziness, perfect.
Lordragon: "Sir, I have seen 20 people dressed in hoods heading from outside the border towards a village."
Magnus: ''take care''
It is the first time this has happened since I took the throne, it seems that the information has already spread that there is no army, that wall will be perfect for us, it would be even better if in the future I can go to the dwarf kingdom and learn about the runes.
((In a room unaccounted for))
???: What do you think about what happened in Blacia.
???: That kingdom brought us a lot of money, besides that king could be a problem.
???: I understand, should I summon him?
???: Yes, it's time for them to come back.
((Three days later, Satou/magnus viewpoint, Blacia border))
Magnus: you start digging, we will divide a thousand men every kilometer, when you finish your part you will rest for an hour and go towards the end, you will do the same until you finish your day's work. The ditch will be following the ash mark on the floor , two meters wide and 4 deep, any doubts....I'm glad, start.
700,000 people are working on the construction of the wall, they are only in charge of digging the trench, I am taking advantage of and keeping the extracted earth in the inventory.
Magnus: I'm going to leave you in charge of that, any mishap let me know.
Noble: be my king.
I am in the courtyard of the castle, I have already fulfilled all the duties of the day, I even went to visit everyone, I have nothing to do. Right, I had forgotten about the rest of the element, let me check an eye.

My stats are through the roof, I was broken before but now I'm past it. Leave, let continue with the elements.
Time to fill out questionnaires, or so I thought.
The message that appeared when I normally wanted to do it was another
/because of your behavior it will grant you finitude without having to do anything/
Magnus: yeah.
/It was a lie, I just wanted to see your face, me/
The unfortunate is even funny.
((two days later))
My head is going to explode, I'm exhausted, two fucking days filling out paperwork, but finally I have the fire affinity, which is good with a very useful gift.

One creates a pillar about 4 meters high, it's not a big deal, the genius is the other, it allows any dead being to become a spirit of fire.
Magnus: Haha, hahahaha, hahahahaha.
Butler: he's... he's fine, sir.
Magnus: Yeah, yeah, I just have a great idea.
I got a little out of hand with the maniacal laughter, he's scared to death.
Magnus: It's time to start.
I teleport to the construction zone and the wall, they are quite efficient, 20% of the border is already finished, well that is 700 thousand well equipped people.
Now I began to create giant walls of reinforced steel with Mirthir, the unarmored golems placed the giant walls one after another, soon a wall twice the size of the one that surrounded the city was forming, every 50 meters towards a small watchtower , alcoves above the walls and in the center, where there were small hatches that could be opened or closed to shoot more safely or kill those who try to climb, every 200 meters there was a booth that consisted of barracks, bathrooms, a room wide and the stairs that led to the abyss, by itself every inch of the wall seemed like a steel fortress. Thanks to the mass creation after finishing designing I contracted them in seconds, due to the expense I was only able to complete less than half of what the workers had done so far.
At that moment I looked at a mountain range that could be seen on the horizon, na, I am not going to destroy this landscape, changing my mind I went to an area with terrible terrain, it was uninhabited.
If I clean this up it will be easy to farm here and by the way I get enough material to complete most of the wall.
Shortly after there were 20 square kilometers of perfectly flat land, with that I finished the part of the wall that I was missing, there is only one detail, those who would take care of guarding it.
I went to the mass grave where the 30,000 soldiers of the kingdom were. I began one by one to use the fire moo, their corpses began to burn, they became skeletons from which flames came out, little by little as many as I converted the ability rose enough to do it en masse, I spent four days converting them all , now he had 30 thousand undead that looked like fire demons.
The flames that cover them are not hot, it was easy to equip them, the difficult thing was to explain to the citizens not to panic after seeing 30 undead set on fire, which in fact is the element they are weak to, formed in front of the city Once I clarified that they were like golems, everyone calmed down, although now they are more afraid of me than before, they don't seem bothered or reluctant to live in this country, quite the opposite.
I equipped them with the best I could think of and positioned them on the wall.
The next day when the workers arrived they were a little scared, although later they were relieved when they saw how thousands of skeletons were also working.
Two weeks after starting the wall was complete, possibly the greatest engineering work in this world, more than 300 kilometers of walls guarded by infernal skeletons, four giant gates where the border guards were placed.
It's the fucking north wall but made of steel and guarded by the dead.
Once the work was finished, the stop to build roads began from the gates to the capital city and all the towns and small cities, the human army was already close to 20 thousand, the number of people who have signed up is incredible, there are both men and women, I am training you in one of the plains that I made as a result of the need for land for the wall.
20 thousand soldiers trained, equipped with the best weapons I can offer, for now, light suits of mirthir bathed in steel, as well as weapons of equal quality, the first days I hired mercenaries and adventurers, these have been the trainers of my topas, Besides, among the soldiers, those with the best abilities and those with leadership skills have risen in rank, although they continued their training for 8 hours a day, nobody complained, hehe, because they didn't have the strength to do it.
Some ex-adventurers joined the ranks immediately, it was more profitable and safer than their previous job, they manned the gates and small groups around every 1 kilometer on the wall to report any sightings, although that lizard does it well.
((Village of Blacia, place where Satou/Magnus entered the kingdom))
Girl: Dad, haven't they come to collect taxes yet? No one has come since that man saved me.
Father: no daughter, not yet.
Villager: Soldiers are coming!
The soldiers were a group of 20, they carried four carts, they were accompanied by 2 golems.
They were placed in the middle of the town, the villagers were placed in the middle of the town carrying all the money they had.
Elder: Please, don't hurt my family.
For a moment the soldier looked at the bag, there seemed to be no more than 40 silver coins in the entire village, which for him was two days of work.
Soldier: We have NOT come to collect taxes, by order of the new king those citizens who do not have a job will not be charged, in addition to the fact that until the amount is defined for those who already have it, it will be zero!
There was calm on the faces of the villagers, as well as surprise, all of which was suddenly changed by a comment from the old man.
Elder: in that case they have come to make slaves.
Soldier: No, the king forbade anyone who is a citizen of the kingdom to be enslaved. We have come to deliver supplies and set up a guard post that will ensure everyone's safety.
I continue explaining that in a few days a highway would reach here by which they could reach the capital, I explained to them the offer of work as peasants, which made a couple faint when they heard what they would charge, in addition to the fact that they would keep the part of the harvest that was necessary to feed his family.
Many were scared of the golem, they didn't even know that a wall had been built around the kingdom and that they were now protected by it. In the same way, similar groups like this one came to all the towns or small cities of the country, taking with them guards, golems and food, as well as explaining the changes in the capital, many in the small cities opposed it, being noble that they exploited these territories, but they ended up being subdued without any mishap.
((in a room whereabouts unknown))
???: Sir, it has arrived.
???: Let him in.
???:Commander.
Commander: His Majesty, I have already completed the mission of destroying the kingdom that opposed you.
???: Well done, get ready, you have another objective.
