... If it is just the most basic villages, towns and markets, based on the current average level on the Entage continent, it may not even need to lay a "foundation", as long as a piece of land can be simply circled and moved.
If a stable population comes to open up wasteland and stay there permanently, it can barely be regarded as a new stronghold.
However, the difficulty of "building a new city" is compared to this...
It's as if the former is just building a sand castle with a small shovel on the beach, while the latter is erecting a skyscraper over 100 meters tall on a flat land - the difference in difficulty is even incalculable!!
As a quasi-high-level member of the current military faction of the Kingdom of Erathia, and as the heir to the Geffen family, Edric has a long noble heritage, so he is very clear about the current per capita knowledge level of the people at the bottom of the Kingdom of Erathia.
Shortage.
A large stronghold that can at least be called a "city" level, first of all, a "water supply and drainage system" is absolutely impossible for the civilian class to master its design technology - but this seemingly inconspicuous "small foundation",
Once a mistake is made, the entire stronghold may even fall into a terrible plague and an unbearable stench in a short period of time...
And the subsequent series such as the design of defensive buildings, the engraving of large-scale city protection arrays, etc. are all the highest level of technology in the world. Even Edric himself cannot easily touch the edge, let alone something like "
"Geralt" is a young man with a commoner background.
Therefore, as soon as he was sure that he had no auditory hallucinations, Edric said with a serious face to the young man in the communication crystal ball: "Nonsense!! How can a city-level stronghold be built so easily?! You
Do you think that enclosing a piece of land, piling up some stones, and wooden planks can be called building a city? You are just setting up a huge target on the northern border!
It is impossible for anyone in the kingdom to easily help you or even stand up for you in this kind of matter. Besides, our military faction itself should not easily interfere in local civil affairs management. You are blurring the difference between soldiers and nobles.
If someone accuses you of having ulterior motives in front of His Majesty, then it will be a trivial matter!!"
"Thank you, Lord Edric, for reminding me. I heard all of this clearly... But Sir, please forgive me for being disrespectful. After coming to Greenfield New Territory this time, I really saw the decline of local people's livelihood.
And the hardship of life for the people at the bottom...
Although there has not been large-scale undead unrest here in the past, as far as I know, from the direction of the Great Marsh Lake to the west of the Green Field Territory, there are occasionally swamp barbarians who will rob our border residents of their livestock and even the population itself in the border area.
However, as the local border troops who are supposed to protect the country and the people, they are unable to clean up the threats in the wilderness on a large scale due to lack of strength...
Not to mention the undead southward invasion itself, which directly proved the weakness and huge loopholes of the original defense force... Lord Edric, I can say bluntly that if I hadn't made a decisive decision at that time, regardless of General Rod Hart,
If you choose to rush to help the local area despite being dissuaded by your Excellency, I am afraid that the development of the war will collapse a thousand miles at that time, and it will be impossible to achieve the good situation today.
And if we can build another pass at a strategic point between the northern and southern territories on the basis of the existing defense front, I dare not say anything else. At least even if there is a major change in Kalava City ahead, this place can serve as a warning signal.
important hub!
And I never considered asking for help from people in China at the beginning of this operation.
As for the manpower at the bottom, there are a large number of war refugees stranded in Luye. It just so happens that I can work for relief and divert a batch of rations to hire civilian laborers. At the same time, I can better maintain the foundation of local order...
In addition, there is something about the recovery after the Greenfield lead.
If what I expected is correct, none of those guys who kept clamoring for ‘support’ would be willing to stay after the war to really help with post-disaster reconstruction, right?
So I want to apply to retain some people, at least to restore the land in the north that has been eroded by the power of the undead, otherwise we will semi-permanently lose a large area of half-ripened land in the northern part of the Green Field..."
Edric had never expected that the young "servant" named Geralt would talk to him about so many things that were completely beyond his authority... and even beyond his normal knowledge.
Regarding the collection of information about the young man "Geralt Hornbow", Edric asked himself that he had done his best. After all, he had gone through at least three rounds of "background checks". Although there were still some vague details that needed to be verified,
But that is also because the other party has had the experience of being a wandering businessman for a long time.
Other than that, there is nothing special about "Geralt" in all aspects of information. He can only be said to be a very ordinary low-level civilian youth in the Kingdom of Erathia... Of course, this should be ignored, as the other party is indeed a bit beyond common sense.
Only "talent" will do.
But the problem is that the kingdom has a large population of tens of millions, so what if there are occasional targets with amazing talents and potential?
From the perspective of the Kingdom Guards, even speaking unilaterally, there are many seniors who can compete with Geralt, or whose hard power far exceeds him~
If I really want to say it, I can only say that Geralt is indeed much more unexpected in the direction of his expertise...
However, "talent", "knowledge" and "vision" are definitely not comparable things!!
"Talent" may be interpreted as being favored by nature and being born with it, but "knowledge" and "vision" must require a lot of professional learning to accumulate and accumulate, just like "experience"!
Geralt himself has the "craft" of blacksmithing and refining medicine, and if he can barely understand it based on his previous experience as a "traveling merchant", how can he be proficient in "construction", which is absolutely covered by the aristocratic forces of all parties?
What about advanced knowledge?
You must know that these things are absolutely impossible to teach even in the Kingdom Guard training camp, because they are core secrets related to "noble inheritance", and even some excellent construction knowledge is the secret of some great nobles.
…
As for what "post-disaster reconstruction" needs to be done... most of the kingdom's nobles don't have such insight, right?
This guy... I remember that the previous evaluation was just "Be proficient in basic writing before being selected"...
Liu Yifei didn't realize what kind of dangerous thoughts were running in the mind of Edric across from him at this moment. He only heard the other party remain unmoved and said: "No. The main force under your command are elite soldiers from Harmondale. Let alone you.
Well, even I am not qualified to order them to continue lingering in the green field after the war..."
