Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons!

I looked at Elizabeth, who was examining the city defence blueprint in full gear, and called out to her from behind, “Mom.”

“Ah, Son, you’re back.”

I was surprised that mom reacted very calmly. She smiled, “I knew you were back already. Troy City hasn’t come under attack, yet. Karana has already told me what happened. By the looks of things, it seems that we’re cleaning another mess that the elves left behind.”

“Uhm. However, that doesn’t mean that Troy City won’t ever be attacked.” I looked at the blueprint that Mom was examining and softly said, “When I came back, I saw a village that had been looted by the anthropoids.”

Mom looked at my expression and asked, “It must’ve been very brutal, right?”

I clenched my teeth and gave an answered, “Uhm, very.”

“An Emperor doesn’t need to grief over the deaths of his people for long, for he needs to work hard for those alive.” Mom gave me a pat on my shoulder, and then touched my face. She let out a soft sigh and added, “Mommy swears that this time, Mommy will definitely support your attack on the North with all of the nation’s power. These anthropoids shouldn’t appear on our lands. Since they have appeared, I must make it so that they never appear here again.”

I looked at Mom and gave her a nod. Mom smiled then tenderly clasped my face. She looked into my eyes, “But before that, Mommy needs to defend Troy City from harm for you. Mommy will not let this city fall.”

“If it can’t be defended… Mom, you can leave.” I looked at the defence blueprint. Despite me being just a technician that never underwent military training under the military system, I could tell that Troy City, which was surrounded by flat plains, wasn’t suited for a defensive battle. All siege weapons would be effective against the city. The river ran through the city horizontally; consequently, if they poisoned it or blocked it to drown us, Troy City would be doomed. Furthermore, there are no cities nearby Troy City to assist. Therefore, if we get caught in a siege, even soldiers will be hard-pressed to escape.
