This time, we have decided to adopt a very defensive tactic of building a wall to protect ourselves by using the magic of "Wall Building" and attacking from behind the wall.

Maybe people like me and Ian, who are more military oriented, think so. But maybe those of us who are more of a general staffer would prefer this wall defense tactic. And maybe, just maybe, the latter will win out sooner or later.

"When armies fight each other, there are a number of factors that have a bearing on victory or defeat. It could be the number of soldiers in the army, the strength of the armaments, or the number of people with high magical power. And one of them is the difference in terrain.

"Yes. So, for example, if you are few in number, you may be holed up in a well-defended fortress, or even in a field battle like this, you will have an advantage if you take the high ground. In other words, this defensive tactic is a way of fighting in which you create the terrain that works to your advantage by yourself. They deploy their troops while building the minimum number of walls where it is easy to defend efficiently with a small number of walls. And if you can gradually expand the area and push your opponent into it, this wall defense tactic is a way of fighting that is hard to lose and easy to win."

After understanding the positional relationship between your army and the opponent's army, and taking into account their range of movement and range of attack, you should consider where to build a wall of defense in advance, and execute it.

Both sides manipulate the terrain, how and where they place their troops, and sometimes, even if they have to stop building walls, they charge their troops to take advantage of the holes in the other side's defenses.
