System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 812 - 261: The Kidnapped Lord Bishop (10K)_5
The outpost naturally exists to watch over the territory or manor.
Too cautious?
Or perhaps watertight?
An inexplicable sense of curiosity arose in Samuel’s heart.
He was very curious about what kind of lord could achieve such a level!
After passing through the slightly dark and deep forest.
The group’s vision instantly became clear.
In a large patch of wasteland with yellow-green mixed weeds, a path of red brick about four to five meters wide split it apart.
At the exit of the forest, there was an outpost fortress made of bricks and stones.
From the materials of the outpost fortress, the surrounding defensive structures, chevaux de frise, watchtower.
And some excavated foundation soil.
One could tell, the construction time of this outpost fortress wasn’t that long!
Samuel watched soldiers quickly running out from the outpost fortress.
They moved the chevaux de frise in front of them, making way for a passable road!
Apart from these soldiers.
Samuel clearly saw that there were archers atop the outpost fortress walls and watchtowers, closely watching them!
If not for Earl leading the way, they might have already been turned into a sieve.
Horses galloped on the paved red brick road.
The crisp and pleasant sound of galloping hooves became more evident, resembling a wave.
The even road allowed the horses underneath them to increase their speed again.
Samuel’s gaze continued scanning the surroundings.
Very soon.
An almost towering-to-the-clouds building came into Samuel’s view.
The red brick and stone structure, nearly over thirty meters tall, filled him with astonishment.
In the carriage, Simo also saw the watchtower.
He turned to Samuel by the carriage side and inquired.
"Samuel, what is that monstrosity?"
Samuel glanced at Simo and responded.
"My Lord Bishop, that is a watchtower."
Being a knight, Samuel naturally knew.
That was a watchtower!
Although, such a tall watchtower he was seeing for the first time.
Listening to Samuel’s explanation, Simo snorted disdainfully.
"In a patch of wasteland, what’s the use of building such a tall watchtower?"
"To spot where there are wild boars or rabbits?"
"Flashy but useless!"
Samuel was about to say something, but his eyes suddenly contracted.
At the end of the red brick road, where their horses were galloping, there was actually a tall city wall!
The city wall stood like a natural barrier at a break in the continuous mountain range.
Directly severing the wasteland from the world beyond the forest!
Although there’s still some distance to the city wall.
But Samuel compared it with the height of the nearby mountain ranges.
He preliminarily estimated that the height of the wall was at least ten meters.
Maybe even taller than he estimated.
He knew that even the city walls of Kakasong City were only about eight meters tall.
Samuel seemed to realize something.
He looked back in the direction from which they came.
Samuel immediately understood the meaning of the watchtower’s existence!
The outpost fortress at the forest exit, the towering watchtower, and this wall.
They happened to form a corner!
Simply put.
The existence of the watchtower could provide a lookout for the city walls obscured by towering mountains, acting as eyes!
Understanding the intent behind it.
A sense of admiration surfaced in Samuel’s heart.
This wasn’t just as Simo said, for hunting to observe rabbits and wild boars.
This had extremely important strategic significance!
This was the Southern Border Land of the Karedi Empire!
Whether in manpower or resources, it would be a huge test.
However.
The city wall and watchtower before them have been successfully constructed!
The curiosity in Samuel’s heart grew even stronger.
He had never heard of.
Within the scope of Morgan Town, there being walls taller than those of Kakasong City!
As the carriage headed toward the city walls, driving on the red brick road.
Simo, seated in the carriage, finally saw the towering wall ahead, his eyes opened wide.
Simo snorted coldly, disdainfully saying.
"It’s just a bit taller than the walls of Kakasong City."
On the wall.
Rose leaned with both hands on the parapet, staring straight at the cavalry unit below.
Upon seeing Earl at the forefront of the cavalry unit.
He called to the soldiers behind him: "Open the city gate!"
With Rose’s order.
A series of commands were relayed down the wall.
A short while later.
Buzz~buzz~
The heavy iron gate sounded as it opened.
Under the gazes of Simo, Samuel, and the Church Guards behind them.
The several-meter-tall heavy iron gate slowly opened inward.
Its sound made their hair stand on end.
Just hearing this sound, they could feel the great difficulty in pushing open this door.
Let alone during a siege, facing the defending city wall soldiers’ attack.
Under Earl’s lead.
The Church Guards cavalry slowly entered behind the city wall.
When Samuel saw another circle of city walls after the first.
His eyes couldn’t help but widen again!
Was this a Weng City?
Walls beyond the walls, for defense?
