He had been entertaining this idea for a long time and now planned to include the excavation in the first phase of his plans.
Only by digging a gently sloping tunnel from outside Iron Wall Castle straight to the sea at the bottom of the cliff could he fully leverage Iron Valley's coastal advantage.
Once the path was open, building a dock, watchtowers, and so on would be small matters that would naturally fall into place.
'But this is a huge undertaking. Even though Iron Wall Castle is right next to the cliff, even the lowest part is forty to fifty meters from the sea... A spiral tunnel should work. It would shorten the distance.'
The only problem was the manpower required to dig the tunnel.
'I'll include it in the plan for now. When I get back to Porcupine Territory this time, I'll have Betty and Scholar Toma look into it. Maybe they'll come up with a better method.'
Petroleum Ore was a good find. Perhaps Betty could develop something from it.
