System vs Rebirth

While everyone panicked from the information they got from the spies, Noel had gathered all the pillars of the family.

There were a total of twelve people sitting down, with Noel and Anna sitting at the tip of both ends as the master and mistress.

Noel said, "Alright. I have made a decision about the shape of the territory. I will be giving you instructions, so let me hear your thoughts on whether it's a good or bad decision. I know that I'm inexperienced as a lord, but I'll definitely do my best to build this territory."

The people in the room nodded their heads. That was the reason why they were here.

"Dimitri. I want you to take care of the immigration. We'll need a lot of people in the territory. While it's impossible to find all the spies, I want you to reduce it as much as possible."

"Understood. How many do you need, Master?"

"As for the number…" Noel glanced at Douglas while pointing at the map. "I want to create a city of this size. These are the four points."

"Actually, Master. I have a unique fort design if you desire." Douglas took out his blueprints, showing a fort that looked far unique compared to the ones he had seen so far.

Instead of a rectangle, the fort looked like a star.

"This is…" Noel frowned.

"I call this a Star Fortress. By taking advantage of these five points and filling up the area with ponds, it will be hard for any sieges or demons to reach it. Due to the pointy edges, we can force the demons to a cone-shaped area where we bombard them from three sides. Although I want to create a hexagram, I believe a star is enough for our territory. We have the natural shield on our west and east, so we'll create a gate toward the south. The demons won't have any choice but to break through from the north and…"

Douglas stopped. Although he was a good architect, he wasn't a good general.

Noel should have understood the advantage of having these pointy edges as well. When Noel took a look at the design, he couldn't help but ask, "Balott?"

"It will definitely be more expensive. But if we can fortify these edges, it's indeed effective. Depending on the pace, our current fund can cover two edges currently… Of course, I have deducted wages, food, and other stuff."

"There should be funds for another two edges soon. As for the rest, we'll use our specialty to gather more funds."

"Understood." Balott nodded in understanding.

"In that case, we'll go with Douglas's design. If that's the case, the five points would be these…" Noel changed the location a little bit. "If we change it this way, how many people can live inside the fortress?"

"Depending on what you need… such as barracks, residential areas, and other stuff. But if I have to assume, it's about ten thousand people. This is going to be a big project. The wall alone requires a few hundred people."

"Can you finish the two edges within two or three months?" Noel asked.
