Fun Territory Defense Chapter 74 Part 1 (Patreon)

Observation Tour

Starting with the castle walls and the ballista, they heard the story of Dee, who cut off the head of a dragon with a single sword, and asked about swords.

After answering those questions, they now wanted to see the house, and we gave them a tour like a house show, apologizing to the villagers.

"What are the walls and roof made of?"

"They are made of processed wood. They are special and can only be found in Seat Village."

"How durable and water-resistant are they?"

"You can think of it as rustproof steel.

"...Is this furniture made of ordinary wood?"

"Basically, they are handmade by the villagers."

"And this moat?"

"We all did our best. Espada, the butler, was in charge of the moat, the river, and the foundation of the walls."

"...By the way, how long did it take you to build all these moats and walls?"

"Five months...or actually four months?"

After answering the questions one by one, King Dino finally stopped and held his head in one hand.

"...Did you understand?"

"I didn't understand it at all. What better way than to have him show me what he's talking about?"

I looked at Espada and spoke.

"Is there anywhere we can make it?"

"How about the lake in the back that you've been talking about for a while?"

"Yeah, let's do that."

After a brief meeting, he looks back at the Dino kings.

"Let's go to the lake in the back.

"The lake. You saw it from above a while ago. That looks like a nice view."

The king is also interested in the lake.

We decided to go through the village and go to the lake through the back gate.

He had the bridge lowered and the gate opened. Then there was a beautiful lake and a peaceful scene of a farm with a boathouse and barn built on the water's edge.

And at a rest stop pavilion next to the boathouse, old men were gathering to drink tea.

As I gazed at the scenery, I felt a startled presence behind me.

"This, this...!"

"No way...!"

Not only King Dino, but everyone is upset.

Yes, there were fifty to sixty adult Apkallu and others at the lake's edge. At the center of the lake, there are about a hundred young Apkallu enjoying playing in the water.

"...ah, there are more of them!"

I was shocked to see that the Apkallu population was clearly increasing. Could it be that Apkallu have children who grow up to be around ten years old within three months of their birth?

"Isn't that son-in-law?"

"Oh, Lada Priora's son-in-law?"

"I haven't seen your face in a couple of days."

Apkallu notices us and begins to say something self-serving.

He approaches Lada Vesta and opens his mouth.

"Lada Vesta-san, I'm not your son-in-law, okay? I've told you many times, I am."

"What, is there anything wrong about my daughter, Lada Priora..."

"I'm not complaining. But I still think that Lada Priora should marry a promising young man from Apkallu."

As Lada Vesta and I were talking, the Dino kings approached us fearfully from behind.

"If my eyes are not mistaken, those people appear to be the phantom race called Apkallu."

"That's odd, Your Majesty. I seem to be seeing them as well."
