Chapter 215 – We Planned!?

---

“Good…we arrived sooner than expected.”

I muttered on the top of the rocky mountain that was our destination.

Solm answered as he stood next to me.

“Even horses were able to climb it. It would only be around half an hour on foot, and would be an easy journey. Most of it was flat…also…”
“Aye. It is easy to grasp the situation of the battle.”

Solm and I noticed the pillars of smoke that rose far to the south.

That was where the southern cities and the Demon King army’s campsites were located.

Solm said,

“By now, those cities would have heard the news about the emperor coming to their aid.”
“Then their momentum will become even greater.”

They should be able to hold their ground until Nordos and the reinforcements arrive.

“We will have plenty of time to prepare the banquet… Asuha came as well, so I might as well make plans.”

I said as I saw Asuha descend with paper in her hand.

“Sir Joshua. I have come from Fendel. Here is a map of this area. It should also give you an idea of the height of the terrain as well.”
“You are always so quick. Thank you, Asuha.”

Asuha would bring me maps like this, even though I didn’t ask her to.

I accepted the map and quickly spread it out on a work table that had been set up.

Solm looked impressed as he inspected the map as well.

“It is so detailed. Have you experience with creating maps?”

Asuha nodded.

“Previously, when we went to aid the royal capital, I realized how useful maps were. And so once I returned, I and the other Tengus started to make maps of the surrounding area.”

As she said, the lands around Fendel had been mapped out now.

Melk muttered.

“Everyone learned during the expedition to the kingdom. But Melk did nothing.”
“You say that. But it was you, Ms. Melk, who learned about what was in the forest.”

Asuha said, but Melk replied that this was something that anyone could do.

But Solm shook his head.

“So this is the result of wonderful cooperation. With such a detailed map… It can be useful for many things.”

Asuha and Melk looked a little bashful.
They were happy to be praised.

I nodded.

“It really can be used for anything. Now, I will copy this, and create plans for the building.”

First, I had to flatten the top of the mountain, so that I could build it. But aside from that, I would not change too much, and leave what nature that I could.

I wanted to make a group of structures that were like a palace. But it would be very plain if that was all that there was.

I could bring in some soil, and ask Ecleshia and the Ents to bring some plants. I could build an arbor and create a small garden.

As Solm was the son of a noble, I asked him for advice, and we started to draw the plans for the banquet facility.

Iria and Mette also had suggestions.

“I guess that should do it…”
“Yes. If you could build this, any royal or noble would be astonished when they saw it. However…”

Solm seemed like he did not quite believe that it was possible.

“Even if it is Ylis, can you really offer such a thing for free?”
“Of course, I have ensured that we will profit from this as well. Do not worry.”
“Hmm… In any case, I and the residents of Varthburg will cooperate as well. Aside from the construction, you will also need people to help run the place, if you are inviting human nobles and royals.”
“That would be a great help. Now, everyone.”

I said, and Iria and the others nodded.

“Let us make a place that will surprise all of those humans!”

And so the building of the banquet hall began.
