After the meeting ended, Kayama brought me to his workshop.
"Leon, now that we have work to do, I need to know exactly what I should prepare"
"Yes, in addition to the physical alarms that are simple, we have several types of traps, do you have anything that I can design?"
After preparing a table and materials for drawing, and it seems, the ink is made using the material of some monster.
It brings back memories, I used to draw in my youth ...
I ended up making a simple drawing of each trap, just to have a visualization of what the trap will look like, and the ideas are very destructive for those who fall into it, in addition to the spiked holes, spikes like the police use, that against enemies on foot, who only know how to move forward, it is easy to destroy their mobility, if placed in a row, I do not believe that many of them can reach the end, I will not put traps that use fire, as this would be dangerous, it may seem effective, but it will only bring more problems than benefits, fire could only be used if we made pit traps, and depending on the workforce, having a moat around the village doesn't seem bad, after all, with physical strengthening, they are much stronger than normal humans.
I can't help but thank Maia for teaching them how to use mana, and for transforming ordinary villagers into powerful warriors, at least from my point of view, after all, the continuous use of magical strengthening, nourishes the body and strengthens it, even though the speed is slow, it was during training this morning that I noticed the difference in strength between me and the guards, according to Cortana the bodies of the villagers who received Maia's training, are 3 times stronger physically than me, something around the high level of the mortal plane, and some even have attributes that are at the peak level, and I don't know, but Maia's attributes must already be at the peak of the mortal plane, after all, she taught them, and undoubtedly, she practices the longest.
In addition to these simple traps, I also put some complicated ones, as there are no cars here to help with locomotion, it would be difficult to make and use them without an engine, but with the strength of these people, they are powerful movable engines, I thought in making a saw system, for those who have watched the movie "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", you know that in the scene of the first test inside the cave, the saw attack is really deadly.
But to do that, I would need time and materials, which we don't have at the moment, so I put it on hold, just like the giant garbage disposal, it would be nice, but it can't be done for now.
So, to take advantage of the time, I ask her to just focus on the basic traps to slow the progress of the corrupt, as the simple alarm system could only be placed in a nearby location so that it can be used to its best potential.
"Kayama, the main traps, will be those that aim to destroy the legs, this will make them easy targets for archers"
"It can really work, but how do you attract them to their location?"
The traps will be used to kill the corrupt ones who will be lured to a location outside the village, so we need to have a way of attracting, in addition to live bait, only if we keep some animals to act as bait.
And the alarm system, it would be good to start the plan , because if we don't know where it comes from, there is no point in setting a trap that will not be useful.
"We would use the alarms to know where they came from, and knowing the location, we can use the animals as bait, and wait for them to fall."
"But wouldn't they be unusable after a few times?"
"This is why they serve to save time, if we have more manpower, it would be much easier to deal with them as long as they follow the plan. "
"And how many traps exactly are we going to need?"
"As much as possible. We don't know how many corrupt people can come. "
"For the material, it would be good to use a durable wood that would heat up a lot of damage ... I would need to use a special wood, if I'm not mistaken, there must be some iron trees in the forest to the west, you can talk to Maia to send a group to bring? I think a single one should be enough for us to work for 3 to 4 days "
"I will talk to Maia, I will also talk about the construction of the ambush site and the bait to be used"
When I was about to leave, I am called back by an interesting question.
"And you? You need a weapon, right? Using a lumberjack ax doesn't seem very practical.
'A perfect opportunity, I didn't know how to ask in the face ...'
"If you're not going to ask for a lot, there is a pair of special baton that I would like to know if you can make, these are their specifications, it should be very strong and not very heavy at the very least. "
What I deliver is the design of a Tonfa military-style baton, with some modifications, sharp edges, and a spear-like tip, after all quick elimination is essential, it can be used for defense, and for attack, although instead of a stick, it would be more appropriate to call it a sword with a hilt sticking out of the side that does not have the blade.
"Although a little different, if the only firm characteristic is strength and lightness, due to the shape, it doesn't seem very difficult to do, but it should take a while, after all, I don't know if I have so much material to make a pair."
"Kayama, I also made a drawing of the sword, as a personal request, would you be able to make a similar one? It can be a little difficult, as the forging mode used is a little special, the material would need to be melted at least 20 times on itself, while it is refined to remove impurities from the metal, and it is still bathed with another material. which should serve as a catalyst to create a sharp and resistant metal, which becomes lighter and more durable, I just watched it being made, but I don't know exactly the combination of materials that are used. "
"Apparently, although it is a little different, it is not that difficult, and it does not require much material either, this sword I must be able to finish before the material arrives, after all, if a fight comes out, it will not be good to be without a weapon. "
Although he doesn't have the time or the material to make Tonfa, getting a Katana is still enough today, much more practical than the ax.
"Thank you very much Kayama, I will go now, I will check the map of the village to choose the best place to set the traps and then I will ask you to check the right sizes."
