Breakthrough
- Teigun's Second Remodeling Project ①
Translator : PolterGlast
The discussions from
the beginning of the year had concluded, and development work across the Teigun
area proceeded at a rapid pace. For Teigun city itself, renovation work had
already been underway since last autumn, with the second phase of construction
nearly complete or already begun.
The major outline is
as per the following development plan:
<Teigun City Second
Phase Renovation Project Plan>
◯ District 1
·
Construction of the Guesthouse in front of the Lord's
Manor Annex (Completed)
·
Fortification of the border with District 2 with a
castle wall, and installation of an Inner Gate (common name: Noble Gate)
The guesthouse was
completed as a rush job for the joint elite tournament, and now only requires
minor additions and interior improvements. Between District 1 and District 2,
there was previously only an earthen step, but this step has now been fortified
into a wall. This will prevent invasion by bandits, as happened before. It
would be disastrous if intruders were permitted into District 1 when guests
were visiting the guesthouse. We strengthened defenses with future
considerations in mind.

◯ District 2
South Quarter
·
New Knight Barracks, Stables, Armory (Under
Construction)
·
New Knight Outpost (Under Construction)
·
Relocation of Garrison Barracks (Reduced to 200-person
capacity - Completed)
North Quarter
·
Relocation of Garrison Outpost (Completed)
·
Relocation of Garrison Armory, Stables (Completed)
Border Area
·
Fortification of the border with District 3,
installation of the Middle Gate (common name: Soldier Gate)
Construction here had
also already begun last autumn. In the vacant lot of the South Quarter,
barracks, an armory, and stables capable of housing 500 Frontier Knights are
being built. During the joint elite tournament, a portion of the Frontier
Knight barracks was prioritized and completed to house soldiers accompanying
the guests. The entire facility will be ready in a few months.
Additionally, a new
Knight Barracks has been established, placed across the road from the relocated
Garrison Barracks. This arrangement ensures that one cannot proceed to the
inner District 1 without passing directly in front of the constantly stationed
Knights and Garrison.
The Garrison barracks
are planned for a maximum capacity of 200, but there is still room at present.
Furthermore, the step between District 2 and District 3 has also been fortified
into a wall. As a result, District 1 will now be protected by multiple layers
of gates.

◯ District 3
·
Conversion of South Quarter pasture vacant lot into
rental housing (Planned Start)
·
Conversion of North Quarter pasture vacant lot into
residential lots for sale (Planned Start)
·
New Underground Refrigerated Storage in the warehouse
behind the Trade Exchange (Completed)
The conversion of
vacant pasture land into residential areas was originally anticipated, but it
became necessary due to the rapid influx of population since last autumn,
requiring the securing of residential land.
However, alternative
pastures are currently under construction outside the city (Southern Outpost)
and are scheduled to be relocated once those are ready. As the population
grows, so does the demand for livestock, making stable supply a continuing
concern.
Due to the issue of
meat supply, Kinia, the Ice Mage, had an opportunity to demonstrate her skills.
Parts of the warehouses in District 3 and District 1 were renovated, and new
refrigerators and freezers, stocked with ice blocks, were installed in the basements.
This has significantly eased the management of food, especially meat, and
allowed for storage for a certain period, which is a major advancement.
The planned capacity
for permanent residents in District 3 is currently 1,500 to 2,000 people, but with
the conversion of pasture land to residential use, at least 400 to 500 more
people are expected to be able to reside there.
◯ District 4
North Quarter
·
Prisoner-of-war Camp established (Max 500 capacity:
Completed)
·
Mercenary Barracks rearrangement (Max 200 stationed:
Completed)
South Quarter
·
Expansion of labor-force housing (Dormitories: Max 600
capacity: Under Expansion)
·
Renovation of labor-force tenements (Max 200 units:
Completed)
·
Renovation of temporary housing (Max 200 units: Under
Expansion)
Central Street
·
Bazaar (Market) established in front of the Main Gate
·
Reinforcement and fortification of the border with
District 3 (Completed)
·
Front Gate (common name: City Gate) installed,
limiting the path from District 4 to District 3 to a single route (Completed)
District 4 underwent
significant changes over the past year. This was due to the rapid increase in
laborers and the urgent acceptance of prisoners. Provisional measures were
taken to address these situations.
Currently, once the
Northern Outpost (post town), which is being developed as a fort, is completed,
the majority of laborers and prisoners are scheduled to move there.
The detention center,
temporary labor housing, and temporary housing will be used as temporary
lodging for immigrants and other temporary stays, and as emergency
accommodation when there is a large influx of visitors, after their relocation.
The majority of the
mercenary corps will transfer their registry to the Frontier Knights, but the
size of their barracks is not planned to change. Their presence plays a role in
maintaining public order and discipline in District 4, which is bustling with
prisoners and laborers.
Considering that spies
infiltrated during last year's invasion, and from the perspective of public
order, some restrictions have been placed on entry and exit between District 4
and District 3.
·
Barrier renovated and fortified into a wall.
·
Movement restricted to the Central Street via the
Front Gate.
·
Accordingly, North Street and South Street are
impassable due to the walls.
·
Enhanced screening of individuals entering the city at
the Front Gate.
·
Restriction on new laborers moving into District 3.
To compensate for the
restricted movement into District 3, a bazaar venue with open-air stalls has
been set up on both sides of the Central Street leading from the main entrance,
attracting many markets to ensure easy access to daily necessities, food, and
shopping. Alcoholic beverages are also sold here, and there are even food
stalls.
Free entry into
District 3 is limited to:
·
Permanent residents living in the Teigun area and
their relatives.
·
Merchants with existing business relations.
·
Citizens of Estol territory (presenting their shooting
range reception tag).
·
Solis family soldiers.
·
Mercenary corps members.
·
Self-defense force members (including temporary
laborers).
·
Those with permission to enter and exit the Demon
Realm (e.g., hunters).
·
Guests of the Solis family.
Entry after a simple
screening is permitted for:
·
Laborers who have completed their term (temporary
laborers).
·
Laborers who have been issued a permit by their
foreman (a code word is required).
·
Non-resident mine workers with a permit.
·
Guests of residents or business partners of shops.
·
People staying at inns in the city.
Permits issued by
foremen are only granted to those who have worked diligently for a certain
period and are recognized by their assigned foreman. Upon passing through, the
permit and the code associated with it must be presented to the gatekeeper. Of
course, if any trouble is caused, the permit will be revoked, and the foreman
who issued it will also be implicated.
However, the Northern
Outpost (post town), which is currently being developed, will be relatively
free from these regulations.

==============================Main
Gate==============================
The development of
Teigun city, with some exceptions, is scheduled to be completed by about six
months from now.
As the city's
renovation progressed, there were several interesting changes.
Many temporary
laborers and manual workers from other territories began to work harder to
obtain permits from their foremen. This was because it would allow them to use
the city's restaurants and brothels.
The population and the
number of temporary laborers also increased, and to accommodate this, the
reception desks, employment offices, administrative office, trade exchange, and
security forces all significantly increased their staff. Aside from the
security forces, many women were already active in various sectors, and these
workplaces were becoming desired places for young women in the city.
【Impregnable Teigun】
【Teigun: A City Where Women Can Thrive】
These two rumors
spread throughout the Estol territory, leading to sights rarely seen in other towns:
young women arriving alone, hoping to relocate, or accompanying temporary
laborer caravans. To make it easier for women to move here, I have requested
the administrative office to provide consideration and preferential treatment
for single female settlers.
During development,
the male-to-female ratio inevitably becomes skewed, and this trend will become
even more pronounced with the establishment of the Frontier Knights. I want to
continue making efforts to bring things as close to normal as possible.
