A fortress is only as strong as the angles it can deny. First, close the main gates and put a sally port— that’s the choke point you can keep a single guard on. Then cover the corners with bastions; give each one a clear line of fire to the next. Don’t forget the ditch—water or mud makes a bad first line of defense, and mud makes your enemies slip. Keep a second wall out back, spaced far enough that if the outer line falls, the inner one is still holding. And always have a fallback trench, because no plan stays perfect when the enemy is drunk on your mistakes.

Fine, I’ll tighten the inner wall until it feels like a second skin for the troops, and I’ll run the sally port through a full audit—no surprise gaps, no excuses. If the enemy thinks they can outflank us, let’s make sure they’re too busy chasing a trap we set in the ditch. You’ll see me laugh when the first clash comes, because every broken plan gives me data. Keep your eye on the perimeter, and I’ll keep the lines razor‑sharp.

Alright, lock the gates and line up the trenches. I’ll keep the walls tight, you keep the line watched. When they come, we’ll cut the mess into clean data points. Let’s make them wish they’d thought better before they step in.
