Defensive Plan
If we were to be attacked we would have our moat that is 50 ft deep to prevent people from crossing
The crocodiles and sharks in our moat would eat the trespassers when they try to cross
We would also have our watchtowers to shoot arrows down at the attackers
The drawbridge would provide us with protection at the front lines
The people would gather in the middle and the warriors would be on the edges to keep all citizens safe
