History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 359
359fury. Preparation for an audience (1)
[A new tribute, has been created.]
A message came to mind as I was leaving the Kingdom of Veneto on a dragon dragon..
Lloyd smiled happily while looking at that..
‘haha.’
As expected, it is timing like this that praise comes out..
It was rare to see that only construction was completed..
It used to appear after it was confirmed how the results of construction would be used socially..
It was just like that now..
‘Considering the nature of civil engineering, this may be natural. This is a field that pursues practicality. This is a field that values not just pretty and grand construction, but also how the results of the construction are used socially..’
Just as the Suez and Panama Canals forever changed the logistics of the planet..
Just as it had a profound impact on human international trade,.
Wouldn’t the Pantara Mountains Railway he built this time be similar?.
Lloyd thought so and carefully examined the praise that came before his eyes..
[hell optimization talent]
[Praise grade: Biography of great people]
Guys, today it is time to study railways built in the past..
Please open page 359 of the history of modern civil engineering..
yes. Everyone is familiar with the famous Pantara Mountains Railway..
student sitting in the front row?
Can you tell us about the background of the construction of this railway, which was briefly mentioned last time??
Yes, that's great. It's accurate.
As this student said, the Pantara Mountains Railway is a masterpiece built by Lloyd Frontera under the order of the Magentano royal family..
ha ha ha. Everyone is tired?
Lloyd Frontera came out again..
Even if you look at this part, it looks like Lloyd Frontera.
Lloyd Frontera appears again in the next part..
Yes, actually, I am so sick of it..
If it weren't for that person, we would have been sweating like this in the middle of summer, and the amount of study we had to do would have been cut in half..
But what should I do?.
That pathetic person laid down the entire civil engineering foundation of our empire..
So it would be unfair if we were the only ones to suffer.?
Let's study, study.
Let’s study harder and develop new theories to harass younger students..
Um, so the Pantara Mountains Railway actively introduced the world's first switchback system.…….

“…….”
After reading the entire praise, Lloyd wiggled his eyebrows..
Everything is fine.
It’s grand and good..
‘This feels like a hidden trap card.?’
His eyes scanned the ‘Caution’ section..
‘You can face the King of Hell's desire to recruit him.?’
Are you really saying that I will give you a place in hell after I die?.
Does this mean that in the afterlife, instead of resting, I have to go on a rampage?.
As soon as I saw it, I felt a little fierce..
‘I don't like that.’
It wasn't that I disliked it..
I absolutely wanted to reject it.
Even now, I struggle hard every day in my life..
I can't enjoy a peaceful life as much as the dead skin on an ant's toe..
If I was destined to work even after I died, I absolutely refused..
‘Tsk. I'll have to look into this later..’
Is that really possible for no reason? And if you let go?
I felt like I was going to get stabbed in the back..
But there was something else that needed to be done right now..
‘First, let’s finish up the railroad construction here. Go back to the royal capital and get the Eyes of Summer. Resolving winter heart side effects. After that, we have to solve the phenomenon of restoration of fate..’
I felt like I had a lot of tasks piled up..
But these were tasks that could not be postponed..
‘Tsk.’
Once again, enjoying the surging sadness,.
Lloyd returned to the Pantara Mountains Railway site..
♣
The finishing touches on the railway site went smoothly..
Railway operation system to be operated in the future.
and maintenance plans for the railway..
It was thanks to having all those things in mind in advance..
“Operates twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Up to 4 times a day when transportation volume is high and low. That's what I think.”
“Even though there are dozens of long trains, can there be a backlog of transportation?.”
“Uh, of course.”
Lloyd quickly answered Javiel's question..
“Almost all areas of the southwestern region, including the Kingdom of Veneto and neighboring countries, will probably send logistics through this railway. Conversely, there will be a huge rush of logistics moving from Magentano to the southwest. Just by not going around the mountain range, we could save months on transportation time..”
In addition, the advantage of not having to face various monsters, bandits, or other dangers is given as a bonus..
“So even if there is a surge in transportation, everyone will use this route. Even if it takes about a month to receive an allocation for train operation due to the influx of supplies. Paying a small logistics fee to the warehouse here and waiting for about a month would be more economical than taking risks and taking a detour through the mountains for several months..”
Of course, to avoid running out of stock as much as possible,.
If possible, up to 6 round trips per day are possible..
The railway was designed from the beginning..
“That's why. The departure point of the train here, and the arrival and return point of the Veneto Kingdom over there. Building large-scale logistics warehouses on both sides was not just something they did..”
“You even had in mind a plan to digest the quantity..”
“uh. So, a simple station was built at the top of the gorge..”
Lloyd nodded..
it was true.
Was this after the train’s first upland test run?.
He was the one who simultaneously promoted the construction of a simple station at the top of the canyon while working on the downbound line..
“When you operate a train, you never know when an unexpected situation may occur. In addition, facilities are needed for those who will manage the railroad to reside..”
“That's probably true.”
Building a railroad was important, but its subsequent management was just as important..
With that in mind, Lloyd said:.
“The permanent staff is about thirty Orc warriors and ten Elf archers? We will inspect the condition of the railway on a regular basis every day, and if necessary, repair work will be carried out immediately. Spirits will also be added there..”
Lloyd smiled at the end of his sentence..
spirits.
It was an unexpected support group that I hadn't thought of when I first started planning..
Thanks to this, we were able to significantly reduce the number of personnel who would reside here and be in charge of railway maintenance..
Because they are spirits without a body..
This was because it would be possible to walk around the railroad tracks every day without restrictions and check their condition..
“……Isn’t that labor exploitation?.”
Javiel, who heard the whole plan, asked back, feeling dumbfounded..
Lloyd shrugged..
“Specifically? Yes, there are a ton of low-level spirits..”
“There are so many.”
“When I gathered together the high-ranking spirits and asked about them, I found out that their number was over 60,000. Thanks to this, they said that if they divide their work time well, there won't be much of a burden..”
“……For free?.”
“What is free.”
Lloyd chuckled and replied.
“Why are you doing this when you clearly know my ironclad rule that nothing is free in this world? I don't like giving things to others for free, but I also don't like taking advantage of others for free, right? This is all labor that pays..”
“If it's a reward?”
“Except for the areas where the railroad has been constructed, the entire mountain range will be untouched by humans. In any case, it was an area where very few people came and went from the beginning, and I personally requested His Majesty the King to make it a law of the kingdom..”
That was the condition presented when the upper-level spirits were first gathered together..
However, upon hearing the conditions, Javiel frowned slightly..
“It seems like your negotiation skills are getting worse as the days go by..”
“Um, why?”
“Isn't it true that people's feet were not originally in these mountains? However, if you look at the spirits damaging part of the daily life that we originally enjoyed, and then professing to protect it, they present it as a condition. Is this a shameless person, or is it just mean?.”
“Well, I won’t necessarily deny it. Let's say it's both..”
“……If you can't say anything, they won't hate you..”
“That should be considered karma, what can I do?.”
In the end, Lloyd also smiled bitterly..
In fact, becoming the Spirit King was unplanned..
But since I already had it, I wanted to use the spirits..
At the same time, he thought that the maximum concession he could make to the spirits was to keep his promise not to further damage nature..
“Thanks to this, the spirits seem to be somewhat satisfied. I am also satisfied because I was able to reduce the number of permanent management personnel. Because we were satisfied with each other this much.”
I spent a few more days at the site like that..
The railway operation and management system was established..
He also supervised the operation of four trains, each consisting of 10 carriages..
Basic training for resident management personnel has also been completed..
“You all know, right? In a few days, the management staff sent by the Magentano royal family will be added, so please take care of it in the meantime..”
“Leave it to me, kkuik!”
“Please tell me to bring more meat instead..”
The orc warriors and elf archers who remained in the mountains responded with trustworthy smiles..
With their seeing off, the withdrawal of work personnel began..
In the opposite order as when coming.
Dwarf engineers, territory engineers, white lance cavalry, elven archers, 350 motorists, the rest of the orc warriors except sandmen, and finally the bone troops left the scene one by one on dragon dragons. Returned to Frontera territory.
After safely completing the withdrawal of the work team,.
“Now, to His Majesty the King.!”
Lloyd changed Yongyong's flight direction to the royal capital Magenta..
As soon as I arrived in Magenta, I headed to the royal castle..
I submitted a request for an audience with wild fish..
“Okay, Count Frontera, Yeongsik. Then, I will submit a request to Your Majesty, so please wait here for a moment..”
Following the Chamberlain's instructions, I waited in the waiting room..
How long did I wait like that?.
Finally, the Chamberlain returned..
“Fortunately, His Majesty granted my request for an audience. Now, this way.”
I walked down the hallway following the chamberlain..
During this time, an overwhelming sense of reward bloomed in my heart..
‘Whoa. We've finally come this far. Now all that remains is the finalization of the plan..’
Was it when he first went up to heaven and negotiated with the archangel?.
In this way, the big picture I had been drawing since then has become a reality..
We are finally on the verge of getting the results we wanted..
I felt proud again.
‘So now, as promised, I will receive summer’s eyes. So what about for now? There will be no need to come to the royal capital. There will be no need to ask the King for anything. So let's not come here from now on..’
I didn't want to get too close to the king..
Of course, the king is taking care of our convenience..
Thanks to you, I am receiving a lot of support.
If you ask me if that will make us closer?
‘never, never.’
It's a rejection.
It's almost like, 'Do you want to move next door to your boss since he pays you a good salary?' It felt like the same question as.
‘It's good to have a big salary. But if your nose gets stuck there, it's a different story. It's burdensome. Why do I do that? The honey pot has already been fully filled, and all measures to maintain it have been prepared. Now all we have to do is prevent the restoration of fate..’
So, once you get the eyes of summer,?
I need to keep my distance from the King for a while..
Lloyd made a deep promise to himself..
Then suddenly.
I realized that there was something strange about the direction the chamberlain was leading me..
‘Uh, what is it?.’
Lloyd looked around..
I was passing through the complex passages, hallways, and stairs that were typical of royal castles..
But the direction was familiar in a bad way..
‘This is the direction to the King's sister's private training ground.?’
It's not the throne room or the office..
This is the road to the training ground in the villa..
The moment Lloyd realized that, he felt a powerful feeling..
Without realizing it, I asked the chamberlain..
“Hey, Chamberlain.?”
“Yes, Count Frontera. Even if you have any questions?”
“yes. I wonder. Why are we going to His Majesty's training ground??”
“ah. Anyway, I was just about to tell Count Yeongsik of Frontera. These are the supplies that His Majesty the King specifically asked Count Yeongsik to prepare..”
“materials… … What do you mean??”
Lloyd swallowed his dry saliva unconsciously and asked back..
The chamberlain looked over and smiled meaningfully..
“He specifically told us to prepare a strong shovel, tough training clothes, and a firm resolve..”
“…….”
yes?
wait a minute?
‘Is this really a sparring match with the king’s sister? sparring? I just asked for an audience? why? why?’
So this is it.
‘While I was here, I ate ramen... … No, do you want to wear a punching bag cosplay? That's what it means.’
Lloyd, who realized the situation, entered the training ground, enjoying the feeling of injustice that was deeply entangled to the core of his soul..
and there.
I discovered something unexpected..
