Chapter 192 - Planning The Drawing Of The City
Geunin didn't know whyArthur told him these words, as his wildest imagination never questioned the fake curse of this world's waters, a curse which was played perfectly by the big clans here.
Arthur knew such a team as the one Clovert and the others had spotted wasn't an exception, and the whole world here was filled with such teams.
If he was alone, he might have been worried to move alone against such a huge, ancient scheme, however right now the whole world was in turmoil. This was his perfect chance to use this in his favor, to annex more villages under his banner.
The mages he sent for all appeared one after another without delay, while they all glanced at Geunin with some doubt and question, Arthur started the meeting as he said:
"First I would like to introduce this warrior to you, his name is Guenin, and from now on he will be our main man inside this world, and the one dealing with the affairs of the inhabitants in this world."
His words and introduction about Guenin made them all understand his importance, and they just nodded to him, welcoming him to their group.
"Now we have many things to discuss. First, do any of you have a large paper that we can use to draw on it?" Arthur glanced to his mages, and Omar volunteered to reply by taking out one large piece of paper, made of monster dried skin.
"Good, now, I want everyone to focus, as I will draw the main map of our future city. after that, you will copy it, and start building based on it. Omar, take more papers out, and you will be responsible for this."
Omar took out a bunch of papers, and Arthur took out his own brush, the one he got used to utilize since coming to this world. he took the first paper as he started to explain:
"The city in my mind is much different than the ones you already see in our world. so, I want you to take everything I will say and draw here and execute it without any alteration."
He then started to draw, as the first thing he drew was a simple house, made of five stories,with deep foundation on the ground. He had already extensive knowledge about architecture, making him the right person to enlighten them.
"This is the standard building of our city, where it will be five stories to eight stories high. Any high building like that would require deep foundation, and the materials used must be a very sturdy ore in the foundation, and very good quality woods for the building over the earth."
He then started to explain further in detail the mechanism of digging, laying the foundations, and how to raise the building itself. Arthur now had the workers to build these massive buildings, the suitable ores from the mountain, and the excellent wood from forest.
As for the interior decorations and the finishing touch of these buildings, he decided to postpone it for later, as he would use more resources the moment he laid his hands upon them.
From the standard buildings, to the advanced huge mansions and palaces, Arthur explained all. He drew maps of the buildings required, the decorations in the city like fountains and statues. He drew a map of the city itself, making the big mansion and palace in the heart of the city, surrounded by large three plazas, then many wide streets branched out from them.
He specified the places inside the city, as areas of residence were in one part, the places of the residence of mages coming from the outside world was in another, making them the residence of the noble class of this city.
He also specified places for the army, and industry, using terms that were alien to their ears. The lecture lasted for three hours, during which their eyes were opened on a new world, a world that wasn't known to them.
"Now, as we finished planning the interior of the city, the time has come to the most important task here; the defense of this city. you all saw the big wall of the academy and its huge gate. I want to mimic that, and also add more touches to this."
He then started to draw a huge wall, reaching to two hundred meters in length, with huge two gates, one to the forest, and the other to the mountains.
"This is the general layout of the walls."
"What are these squares and circles scattered all over the wall?" Amelia asked, pointing towards places Arthur drew at circles and squares.
"Good question," he replied, before taking two pieces of paper, and started drawing something there. "This is called defensive towers, where the square ones will use huge bows and great arrows, and these rounded towers will use energy based attacks to defend the city."
He then started to explain the basis of each tower. The arrow towers were simple in their regard, but the energy towers were much complicated, as many things were required there, basically very unique materials and some machinations, plus many runes.
"I will provide these rocks, and the drawings I just drew about the types of these towers, places to put materials and rocks must be well preserved, and everything I just explained must be executed to the letter."
He then looked towards Geunin, whose face revealed his shock as others, "you will be tasked to make villagers come to our help. From this moment on, they will be part of our city. plus, there is something else I want to discuss with you now."
Arthur then turned to Ron as he nodded. Ron knew what he wanted, as he went outside, and came back with many ores Clovert had sent, and a message with them.
"Clovert sent one of the mages with him. He said he raided part of this group, and despite him acquiring some ores, these enemies seemed to call for reinforcements, using strange birds as the means of communication.. This bird headed towards the mountains at our back."
