System vs Rebirth

"So, what do you think, Douglas?" Noel asked.

"I don't have any problems. But if we're going to build it and destroy it over and over again, then I have to take into consideration the materials as well as the effect it will cause on the downstream area." Douglas explained.

"I can provide with funds, and I believe this is going to take priority. It's going to be our weapon against the first attack."

"If that's the case, you might have to consult with Dimitri regarding the workers. As long as we have enough workers, creating a broken dam should be easy." Douglas thought for a moment. "What I'm interested in is this outpost. Are you sure you want to build an outpost in that area?"

"Yes. For the territory's defense."

"Interesting." Douglas raised two fingers. "In that case, I believe it's better to make it a bit grand if you want to make the enemies believe that it's a fort while it's not. There is also a chance that the enemies will attack that place instead."

"I have considered it." Noel nodded, assuring Douglas.

"In that case, I can create the blueprints for you within three days. Dimitri has to get the workers, though."

"Alright. I'll leave it to you." Noel waved his hand and finally went to Dimitri to discuss the workers.

…

While Noel was discussing a lot of projects with other pillars, Anna finally arrived at the barrack where Howard trained the soldiers.

Clink!

Clink!

Clink!

A clicking sound could be heard from a hundred meters away as Anna was sure that there was a sparring between two soldiers.

When she arrived at the soldier camp, she found that there were two soldiers surrounded by others. One of them was sitting on the ground with a sword on his neck while the other was raising his hand as if showing that he had won.

Howard was supervising the entire process and nodded his head as if approving the match. Soon, he noticed that a person was coming in their direction. A few other soldiers seemed to have noticed her as well and turned their heads around, finding Anna.

"Well, well, well…" Howard squinted his eyes. "Who do we have here? Isn't this Mistress Anna?"
