One of my characters, the DB Kyoko has been listening to what is going on, but she agrees with the others. Also as was pointed out by Talitha earlier in the  argument you can't hope to build a fort if you don't build a road to the fort. Though yes you can still build the fort, but with no road you can't easily keep it supplied. Also as was pointed out the resources on the island are a bit stretched right now. So focusing on one task and then the other is the best use of what resources we have right now. Which getting the forges fixed will solve our material resources problem, which is a major hindrance right now.<br/><br/>Also while he is the Captain of Umari's personal guard that gives him rank yes, but in regards to military matters I think both Kyoko and Yolu out rank him by virtue of position.
