Chapter 24: Defense Upgrades!
Arthur Pendragon, a knight in literal shining armor.
The sword hanging on his waist, the legendary Excalibur, was sleek and divine-looking. At a glance, it didn’t look like it’d fare well when used to fight, but the power it exuded made even Xu Tao scrunch his brows.
He wondered which one was better—the perfectly balanced sword he got through the Lost System or this golden blade of immense power. He was undecided.
"I see... So that’s what happened."
And whatever the case, for some reason, both Xu Tao and Arthur hit it off quite well. It was just like when he first met Jehanne—nothing but goodwill between the two of them!
"Yes, so, I was wondering. If you were to protect that log house, how would you approach it?"
Enough that Xu Tao actually asked for his opinions about defenses.
"That’s tricky..." Arthur hummed, placing a hand over his short, blonde stubble. "If we have enough serfs available, we can make them dig deep moats around. That way, normal foot soldiers should have a hard time breaking in."
"Ah, I had the same thought..." Xu Tao nodded, smiling as someone finally verified his initial plan. "Then, I guess we’ll do just that."
Arthur was surprised by his response. "Oh? You have serfs here?"
"Nope. I have my own techniques to rely on." But Xu Tao didn’t mean to follow Arthur’s opinion to the letter.
