Chapter 128: End Of The Beginning (1)
The southwestern tip of the former Bridget territory, this is the location of Berthaquin.
At the top is a mountain range, below is the ocean. It was a natural fortress for sure.
Most of Berthaquin territory is mountainous.
If I exclude the mountains, the usable land is about half that of Aquitania.
Considering that the mountains can be used for slash-and-burn farming, there’s some room to spare.
The territories I’ve decided to start with are Berthaquin, the neighbouring territory of Raihein, and Brinhild, which used to be Bridget’s territory.
Aside from the population, there is a lack of people who can rule properly.
It takes a lot of people to maintain a single city.
Leaving it to just anyone would have negative consequences, as security and people’s spirit would decline.
That’s why I gave up on the eastern side of Bridget’s royal capital, which was occupied by Lunan’s troops, for now.
I’m going to start building it up from here and later occupy the eastern side as well.
