135 Arrangement of the fortifications of the Sirius Collar

From the very beginning, Allen didn't worry too much about the defense of the territory. After all, in his opinion, he was in a very unique position.

In the eyes of others, the Sirius Territory is close to the Strangforth Mountains and the seaside, and it's on the edge of the Principality of Lane. Not only will it be affected by monsters, but because there are only two counties on the edge that border the Sirius Territory, this means that it is very difficult for Sirius to do business or develop.

But in Allen's view, the Sirius Territory is simply a treasure. The so-called monster problem is not a concern for him at all. On the contrary, the Strangforth Mountains are a powerful guarantee for him, capable of protecting his territory from attacks by the people of the Principality of Shaker.

In addition, there is no place in the Sirius Territory that is close to the scope of activities of other hostile forces, making the Sirius Territory an extremely suitable place for development. And he doesn't have to worry about danger at all.

So Allen has never cared about defense issues because it is not necessary.

Now, however, he had to think about it. After all, he already knew about the significant turmoil that would take place in the entire Southern Principality. With his cautious character, it's impossible not to prepare.

Now, the Sirius leader may appear crisis-free on the surface, but it's not the case. At least, he is not worried about the Steel Fist Leader. Although they are counts of the duchy and friends, no one knows if Steel Fist will face any problems in the turmoil that follows.

In a troubled world, Allen only believes in himself; he doesn't even trust Albert.

"My lord, do you mean fortifications?" Marko was stunned. The Sirius Territory shouldn't need any fortifications. After all, the Sirius Territory has a unique environment. The only thing that needs defense is the Strangforth Mountains, right?

However, the adults have already dealt with it. In the past two months, Marco has never heard of any problems with monsters running rampant.

"Yes, Marko, although we don't have any hostility towards others, it doesn't mean that others will treat us with sincerity," Allen said indifferently. He pointed to the border between himself and the Steel Fist Collar. This is a hill, with the Strangforth Mountains to the east and the Dalton Plain and Dolton Plains of the Thorn Flower Collar not far to the west. City of London.

There are no fortifications here, so to the south is a vast pasture. At present, Allen has enough to buy a batch of cattle and sheep for it. Now Allen is ready to buy a batch of war horses in the system.

Not because he didn't have warhorses. After the last national war, as one of several people with outstanding military exploits, he owned many trophies and acquired many warhorses. However, these warhorses are of different quality, and their temperaments are not necessarily docile, so Allen did not incorporate them into his cavalry. Instead, he sent them to Earl Albert after grazing on the pasture for a while.

The gold coins earned can buy at least 10,000 warhorses, and the rest, Allen can pay for himself. After his warhorse is purchased, it will need to graze on this grassland for some time. After all, the cavalry camp outside Sirius City has not yet been built, so placing the warhorse on the pasture is the best choice.

Moreover, this ranch can also help Allen to breed new warhorses, cows, sheep, etc., which are all important resources. This is where Allen's milk is produced every morning. Therefore, the ranch cannot be threatened by other forces, and fortifications must be built on the border.

"Since the lord has decided, I will fully support it," Marko said.

"Good, don't worry about the manpower issue. When the tree, tauren, and half-horse people I sent out before solve the problems of the commercial road and the small town, I will have them form an engineering team to build arrow towers, iron and wood walls, and other fortifications."

Speaking of which, Allen sighed slightly, "If only there were enough magicians, I could also build a few mage towers there, as fortresses. Whoever dares to come will face a few magic attacks!"

Marco heard Allen's words with confusion. What's a mage tower? What's a cannon?

"How would you like to arrange the fortifications, my lord?" Marco asked.

"Well, starting from Dalton Plain, to the Strangforth Mountains in the east, build an iron and wood arrow tower every 50 meters, preferably larger!"

"These arrow towers shouldn't just be one layer; it's best to have a three-layer defense circle. The positions of the arrow towers should not be in a straight line; it's best to stagger them to ensure that the attack range of each arrow tower is large enough."

"In addition, between the arrow towers, set up rangers. Don't worry about this problem. I will assign this responsibility to the centaurs. They are naturally extremely fast and have the talent for sharp archery, which makes them suitable for reconnaissance and patrolling."

Allen spoke to Marco, and the more Marco listened, the more concerned he became. "My lord, are you planning to fight the Steel Fist Leader?"

Allen glanced at him and said, "It's not that I'm planning to fight them, but I have to be prepared in case they decide to attack us."

Marco was shocked by Allen's words. "Sir, are you saying that there might be a problem with the Steel Fist Collar?"

Marco's expression became solemn. "Maybe there is a problem, maybe not, who knows?"

Allen said lightly. "Also, be vigilant about the Thorn Flower Collar."

Marco was a little stunned. "Sir, the Earl of Thorn Flower and you..."

Allen waved his hand. "He is indeed my father, but it doesn't mean that the Earl won't take any action."

Allen's attitude left Marko feeling uneasy. What is this great lord up to? Why does it seem like he's guarding against something?

After thinking for a while, Marco didn't dare to ask but nodded. "Do we need to build arrow towers there too?"

Allen thought for a moment. "Yes, build them, but they don't need to be as small as arrow towers. We can send some half-horse and tauren to patrol like the Steel Fist Leader."

Marco nodded and took note. After discussing defensive issues, Allen asked Marko to prepare for fortifications.

For the remainder of the time, Allen summoned Bacchus, the agricultural officer. He needed to discuss the reclamation of the Wolf Territory, and there was still a month left until the end of the mission. The farmland reclamation task is the same as before, with a time limit, and the more farmland reclaimed simultaneously, the richer the rewards.

Originally, Allen thought it would be better to take it slowly, but now, that's not an option. He must accelerate the reclamation process to secure more farmland within the time limit for better rewards. This is part of his strategy to develop his territory and strengthen his position.
