As for how so much construction was done in such a short time, a lot of it had to do with manpower.
If Baron and her team hired about a combined fifth of the total population, then the construction team hired by the territory took another. Over half of the abled men and women in the territory worked in the construction team.
Basically, except for the guards who was always hunting outside for at least half a day, everyone had a 'day job' and were otherwise training in their free time (which was required for hired hands anyway). This was fortunate because she really didn't think too deeply about this aspect.
There was no way, other than the required hunting time and the overall levels, she really didn't think much about the strength of the people and left it all to Drake and Rowan. As long as the walls were ready to defend whatever happened, she put this issue to the back of her mind.
