It is easier to defend than to attack, so making something easier to defend than you can attack isn't too difficult. The problem is the usual strategy of sieges: blockades. Make them starve. However, the sheer size of the courtyard means they can produce a fair amount of food within the walls.

Pond's overpopulated.

Two leaders meet, instant diplomacy.

They're discussing hiring dwarves to forge it, meanwhile MC gets his blade completed.

Well, that is something to ask for if you're afraid it'll be taken away from you.

I know he's isekai'd, so it throws me off when he acts like an actual child. Playing with a new toy without paying any attention to any of the conversation going on around him
Right?? Its super cute. His body is only 8-10 after all, I imagine that affects his behavior a lot (its been implied a few times).

But I think even as an adult he was the type that easily fell into fixated episodes, if anything probably the only reason he's able to functionally pay attention as a lord is because of Esparda's discipline 😂

Cute little boy huffing and puffing and creating a royal heirloom.

What would be the best shape for a 95% antimagic material though? I'm sure small blades like knives would be high-quality, but it sounds like it'd be a waste. A spear to cut incoming spells at range? Or maybe a thin shield you can latch unto the front of a different shield?

Anyway, the biggest conceit of this story remains the fact that Van's family don't understand his power's value despite supposedly being a smart military family. It allows us to have a king freak out for fun though.

He's probably going to ask the King to cover his ass just in case his father changes his mind and forcibly take him back into the family. He already tasted freedom once and had fun playing Civ on this remote village so there's no way he would go back into captivity again.

I'm in my 30s and still do it.
Just turned 31 and I’ll fully miss a conversation if I’m so much as messing with a paperclip

production magic is always useless so it’s not surprising that they didn’t bother to check for a miracle and see if the kid had as much magic as god. not sure why they haven’t stepped in since then as his name should’ve spread pretty far but I’m guessing that’s the point of the final page. They’ll show up to control him/steal his territory only for the king to reveal he’s been granted a title and now owns the land outright

Perhaps, though you'd think magic power level would also be something a military family checks.

Rather than "military", it kinda feels like Van comes from a family of musclehead warriors obsessed with DPS with their fixation on fire magic, which is VERY different from military.

As the king says the average Production Mage runs out of gas making a cheap sword, Van just made something impossible and he still has energy to negotiate.

The last several chapters have repeatedly stated that Van has an absolutely insane mana pool. Normal people have neither the power nor the imagination/knowledge he does, leading normal people with the same magic barely being able to create anything, and one at a time at best. Meanwhile, Van is an entire R&D department and major manufacturing center in one.
