History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 389
389fury. Before the storm (1)
‘If you give it to me like this, it’s good for me.’
Lloyd glanced at the residents with sparkling eyes..
Everyone, please let’s go through the trouble together..
I don’t think it’s true that Lloyd is the only one putting in effort..
They were shouting in one voice, surrounding the front of the manor house..
It was an unexpected situation.
It was a completely unexpected development..
Thanks to this, Lloyd was able to draw up a new plan in his head in an instant..
‘good. Let's do it.’
flutter!
Komin landed on a large rock..
He stood on Kkomin's back so that everyone could see him clearly..
said to everyone.
“Hehehe! Everyone, calm down for a moment. I listened carefully to what everyone was asking for. But are you guys doing this even though you know that the army of hell is attacking??”
“of course!”
“of course!”
Residents shouted in unison.
After their answers died down, Lloyd asked again..
“So, are you doing this because you know what kind of people the Hell Corps are??”
“Of course!”
“Sure!”
Residents shouted louder.
Lloyd snorted..
“Whoa. I understand what you mean. Please accept it gratefully..”
Lloyd never once refused or humbled himself..
As soon as the residents responded energetically, they accepted it with open arms..
Now I needed at least one more person's help..
In particular, as many workers as possible were needed to begin construction that would utilize 2 billion liters of holy water..
“great. All right. So calm down. I also knew why everyone was disappointed with me. From now on, when something big like this happens, I won't worry about it alone. Then it's okay.?”
everyone nodded.
Lloyd continued..
“thank you Well then, let me first clarify the situation that has come to this. He originally planned to tell you after he was a little more prepared... … It is true that the Hell Legion is planning to invade our territory. The date is approximately 90 days later. The scale is 500 Hell Knights and thousands of Satans, the King of Hell descending on the body of a lich..”
“…….”
There was silence around the residents..
a little anxious.
a little murmur.
Still, there was no sign of great fear..
Lloyd said with deep admiration at that fact..
“So we made an evacuation plan for everyone. You will all take refuge in the dragon's lair in 85 days..”
“……!”
This time the murmur grew louder..
Lloyd continued..
“So we have 85 days left. What kind of time is that? It's time to get ready to protect our homes and homes..”
One word, one word clearly.
Making eye contact with everyone one by one.
I said emphatically.
“So, we will start construction from now on. We'll dig the ground, build dams, create channels, and set up all kinds of traps. That requires a lot of hands. Yes, we need your help. So let me ask you. Are you ready?”
“yes!”
The answer was immediate.
Lloyd asked again..
“This won't be an easy preparation. It's going to be quite difficult for everyone. However, this will not be for the estate, nor for the Count or me, but for your houses and fields. So let me ask you. Are you ready to protect your home??”
“yes!”
The answer got louder.
Lloyd's question, or incitement, gained momentum..
“great. Everyone, be prepared. From now on, the site will operate in three shifts every day. There will be no holidays. You will have to work overtime, work overtime, and stay up all night as if you were eating a meal. If you run out of time, you will experience a more intense field with two shifts. So, I also promise here.”
I looked back at everyone.
sparkling eyes.
Eyes ready to endure overtime, overtime, and even all-nighters.
I made a sincere promise to them..
“We will not accept this as your service and dedication. Be sure to fill out a attendance log when entering and leaving the site. Don't forget to write a list even when working overtime, working overtime, or staying up all night. Only then can you receive wages and receive allowances. You see, right? There is nothing free in this world. The same goes for the sweat you will shed. That's definitely not free.”
Lloyd was serious..
There is nothing free in this world.
The same goes for the labor they will receive here..
‘of course. Everyone is very motivated now! Soaring, huh? It feels like you can accomplish anything, but that kind of vibe. Just wait a few days. When you're on site, you endure drowsiness and force yourself to work overtime with your exhausted body. Will you still work with this much motivation then? No. That's absolutely not the case.’
Lloyd calmly assessed the situation and predicted the future..
In fact, it was wisdom that came from the time and experience he accumulated in the field..
‘That's just how people are. When things are in the right mood, it feels like you could chew on a rebar, but what if it gets really tough and difficult after a while? Motivation and everything else is going crazy..’
I think it's a similar situation now..
Although the residents are showing warm hearts, passion, and motivation,.
So, it seems like it is a reward for noble dedication and service..
If you hit it hard on the spot,?
If you get exhausted from working endless overtime and working overtime,?
At that time, I thought it was human to have other thoughts..
‘So at times like this, you have to draw a line in advance..’
Even though we are between the lord's family and the residents.
Unlike other territories, they tend to care for each other quite a bit..
After all, this is a business relationship..
It is a relationship established by mutual needs..
So, if you rely too much on only good things like sincerity and goodwill that come from the heart, you will end up in trouble later on..
I told everyone with that in mind..
“Therefore, information regarding work team organization, work schedules, daily wages, and overtime allowances will be delivered to each village separately at a later date. Everyone, please make sure to check the message. One more thing, never forget. Labor is not free. You have to do your part. I will take care of it for you. So, once we get through this crisis, we all get a great allowance! Let's all become rich!”
“……Wow!”
Youngjimin Everyone suddenly went crazy..
At first, I felt my pure passion being extinguished when I heard that it was Lloyd's allowance and that labor was not free..
I came to my senses when Lloyd said he would take care of the money next time..
everyone thought.
‘My child, whom I sent to study abroad in Cremo, wanted to send him to the royal capital as his next school. Then it would cost a lot more money than it does now.…….’
‘Lately, I've been having a hard time paying for my mom's medicine.…….’
‘I also want to own my own home.’
‘If possible, when I get married to that person, I want to go on a honeymoon far away..’
‘But if you get a generous daily wage and allowance,…….’
‘Lloyd is a thorough person when it comes to calculating money like that..’
‘Because you said you have never been behind in paying wages to the Corps of Engineers.…….’
‘Then if we work hard too?’
‘At this point, I have a lot of money?’
‘money… … ? money. money!’
Everyone's eyes sparkled..
The cheers surrounding the manor house grew louder..
If everyone's voices were shouts of pure passion until now,.
now?
“……Wow!!”
It had turned into a thoroughly capitalist roar..
Lloyd added fuel to the fire of desire..
“Rich man!”
“Wow-!”
In that way, Lloyd was relieved of the worry of announcing the invasion of the Hell Corps..
In addition, it succeeded in eliciting large-scale participation from residents..
He didn't let go of the reins..
‘When people's motivation rises, you have to push it right away..’
That's the way things are.
When something creates an atmosphere.
If you get the vibe right and get things moving forward,?
Results are often greater than usual.
He decided that now was the time..
It was a rush.
I whipped myself..
I remember the days when I went to the classroom during the day at the goshiwon and went to work at my part-time job at night..
Thinking back to the days when I had nosebleeds seven times a week.
During the day, I focused on surveying and planning..
At night, I devoted myself to organizing work teams and establishing schedules..
When one, two, five days passed like that,.
I was finally able to complete all preparations.
‘……Whoa, whoa. I'm going to collapse.’
Lloyd felt dizzy as if he would faint when he saw the completed blueprint in front of him..
I didn't sleep for five whole days..
I overcame the limits of my physical strength with a shabby mind..
‘of course. Where is the time to sleep? Considering the evacuation of residents, construction must be completed within 80 days. Time freeze? It's good to use, though. If you do well, you can finish it within 80 days without freezing time and losing RP. However, there should not be any mistake in the design..’
If a mistake is made?
20Billions of liters of holy water will directly flood the territory's villages and major facilities..
Or, it may end up in the wrong place where it can't hit the legions of hell..
I had to avoid that much..
So I paid more attention.
I almost kept the simulation option turned on..
Thanks to this, his physical strength was ruined, like the bottom of a frying pan that was scraped off with a spatula after frying chicken ribs and rice..
‘but… … There is a lot of work to do from now on.!’
If this continues, won't he die from overwork under a pile of work before the hell army comes?.
Shunfeng Shunfeng suppressed the ominous feeling that was blooming..
Construction started as is..
Construction went smoothly.
From Lake Capua in the middle of the Eastern Mountain Range to the vicinity of Yeongji.
20The foundation of a huge waterway that will carry billions of liters has been dug..
In that construction, Bibeongi and Yongyong played the biggest role..
“Bieberbung! Bibbeong!”
Squeak! Nod!
They were a fantasy species and a bone dragon, each boasting a size of over 100 meters..
I'm not delicate, but.
They were also specialized in large-scale excavation..
Every time Bibiong digs the ground with his front paws, the beautiful tree breaks and rocks are pulled out..
Every time Yongyong exerted force, the ground caved in by several meters..
If two big guys dig the ground like that,?
“1st work team deployment!”
“input!”
A work team made up of residents was sent to the scene..
A haphazardly dug waterway was trimmed to fit the design..
I cleaned up the dirt scattered around and tidied it up..
Meanwhile, the Corps of Engineers built an embankment using the removed dirt..
‘Because the flow of water cannot be completely controlled just by digging the ground..’
From the lake to the estate.
The path was not straight.
To drain water while making the most of the topography of the mountain range in order to minimize construction areas.?
We had no choice but to create numerous curved sections..
In such a case, a high, strong, and precisely built embankment was essential to prevent water from overflowing outside the section..
So everyone became one.
Javiel was sweating with dirt on his beautiful face..
Podongi, Jeongbulgi, Hamangi, and Komingi are also moving around busily..
Orc warriors flex their muscles.
Elven tribe members pay their respects to the dug up vegetation..
Hell Knight Sir Georexius and the Bone Corps are working creakingly..
Even the left angel Raphael was holding a shovel and pickaxe while he was crying..
The rewarding days of nature destruction continued..
Ten days pass by and the moon wanes..
As a month passes, the leaves turn green..
After two months, the season changes.
When I finally heard the first cicadas crying.
Exactly on the 79th day after construction began, construction was completed..
‘Whoa…….’
Lloyd wiped his sweaty forehead..
I took a deep breath and looked up..
Then it appeared.
The final section of a deep and vast waterway lay beneath our feet..
‘Well, I guess I should say it's a wide valley rather than a waterway..’
Lloyd smiled bitterly..
Literally, this thing was too big to be called a mere number..
It was of such a scale that an unfamiliar person would have thought that the terrain was like this from the beginning..
So, the width from one end of the waterway to the other end was wider than an average playground.!
‘But at least this reduces the width of the waterway to a minimum. If it's narrower than this, it won't be able to accommodate that much water. Because a significant amount of water will overflow and flow to the wrong place, the situation will become uncontrollable..’
Moreover, the overflowing water itself would destroy the structure of the waterway..
If you do this, there will be more water overflowing..
Controlling the flow of water will become a dream..
After running the simulation options countless times, the results were exactly the same..
‘Anyway, I made it right. Not only did it sell big, but the finish was perfect..’
So now I'm almost ready.
Except for two things..
“It's me, Lloyd. By the way.”
After dispersing the workers.
It was while preparing to implement a full-scale evacuation plan for residents..
Javiel asked with a frown..
“By any chance, reinforcements aren't coming??”
“reinforcements?”
“yes.”
Suspicion seeping into his eyes.
“Didn't you send a letter requesting support around the time this construction started?.”
“uh. It did.”
it was true.
Of course, it was for the King of the Magentano royal family. In addition, Cremo, Namaran, the Sultanate, Orc and Elf tribes, the Mermaid Kingdom, and even the Centaur tribe of the Great Plains..
He said he sent everything he could find to ask for it..
“But that's why it's so strange. It's been almost three months since I sent you a letter. Why hasn't anyone come yet and why hasn't there even been a reply?.”
“Well, there's a reason for everything..”
“There is a reason?”
“of course. It's not like you thought I was too lazy and couldn't even reply to my letters.?”
“…….”
“Hey, no way.”
“sorry.”
“no. Phew, that's it. Anyway. There's a reason. It's difficult if support comes too early..”
“I can't believe I'm in trouble?”
“price of rice.”
“yes?”
Haviel opens his eyes wide.
I said it to him as if it was obvious..
“hey. Think about it. For example, let’s say His Majesty the King is sending several thousand troops. Many of those people are not elderly or infirm. They must be soldiers with great stamina and amazing digestive power. If you come early, won't you just spoil the food?.”
“…….”
“Plus, orcs, mermaids, and centaurs. Ugh. It's scary to even imagine. No matter how much support you have, if you take care of all that, money will flow out in real time. is not it?”
“…….”
“That's why I wrote it at the end of the letter requesting support. It would be perfect if you arrived here about two months after receiving the letter..”
“Did you do that?.”
“uh. But it seems like now is the right moment..”
“……No way that sound?”
“uh. maybe?”
Lloyd shrugged..
And I cast my gaze towards the morning sky.
Javiel's gaze also rose upward..
That moment.
The silver-haired knight was able to witness.
I love you so much!
A silhouette that looks like a dot in the sky.
A silhouette that grows louder with the sound of cutting through the air.
Eventually, they landed in the front yard of the manor house, no, the sight of them clashing..
Coo! Tukkeong-! Tookkuk!
Bulky muscles and fins are pounding loudly..
Appeared with a loud landing that almost resulted in a fall..
It raised a huge amount of dust in all directions..
Eventually, when the dust settled,.
“Whoa, whoa. Lloyd Frontera, is that true? If you come here, you'll be able to meet people as strong as us.?”
The Mermaid Queen showed her signature cruel yet welcoming smile through the dust..
Lloyd designed and expected.
The first reinforcements arrived.
