Inside the territory, people weren’t relaxing either. A lot of the civilians were inside their homes, but they had a window or two facing the streets open so they could shoot enemies as they arrived.
A lot of traps were also set up in the parks and other open spaces. Of course, they could only do minor traps designed to hold people, lest a citizen accidentally triggered it instead.
There were also teams—guards and civilians alike—who created barricades here and there, directing enemies towards the traps or otherwise just making sure they were more manageable, and there were also teams waiting in certain spots for ambush.
As for the protection of the children as well as the other people who would not be able to protect themselves, they created an emergency bunker that was separate from the usual cellars and their tunnels.
This was designed specifically for protection against outside enemies and was therefore designed to thoroughly protect whoever was inside.
This was located in the Western areas of the territory where the soil was rocky but without their tunnels. It was dug to more than several meters deep by the goblins, was as big as a few warehouses combined, and was lined with reinforced concrete all over. freёwebnovel.com
They also made sure that new access or breaches wouldn’t happen either. Even if the enemies employed goblin slaves to dig through it, they wouldn’t be able to do anything. This was another advantage of having goblin allies—they could prepare them well if their kind were allied or were trapped with the enemies.
Similarly, earth users would also have a hard time breaking it open. Even if it was the same ability as Reno, whose earth was adobe, the crystallized and reinforced structure of the bunker would make it incredibly difficult or even impossible to damage by pure force.
At the very least, Reno was asked to check it out, and he barely made a dent despite consuming all his mana. One had to know that the walls of this bunker were more than half-a-meter, which was twice a person’s depth.
It also had complete facilities for survival. It had a store room with food and water that could support hundreds of people for a week, or a few thousand for a few days. There were also public toilets, and some bunk beds people could use to rest in.
Of course, to minimize the risks of spies and people who simply wanted to hide despite having the ability to defend themselves, the criteria for entering were quite strict.
Only children 11 years old and below, old people above 60 years old (or older, if their levels were high), and the physically disabled were allowed inside. They—or at least those who could actually talk or write properly—had to make oaths, too (at their costs).
The others were not allowed to enter at all and could even be punished—or even go to prison—if they insisted on doing so.
For security, there were at least a dozen guards inside the bunker, not counting the ones outside and the Level 5 sentries guarding the one way to the bunker.
Speaking of sentries, there were also level 3 sentries lining the walls and located in certain spots at the center (which was why they designed it to have 3 meter ceiling heights). They were simply customized to appear like they were columns or part of the structure.
Every corner and the central areas of the bunker had it and—considering the place wasn’t too big—if anyone decided to be violent, then at least two or three sentries would be gunning for him.
There were also two guards in guard stations above eye level. They were archers stationed inside a small protected room, and could immediately make a move if there was an emergency the guards on the ground were not able to handle.
Because most of the people here were children, there was also a nook of board games there to help them pass the time without causing too much headaches to the adults.
