Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

One week has passed since the Second Southern Conquest began.

We are currently capturing the fourth city.

The inhabitants of this city seem to be full of Christian spirits, kicking our surrender advisory.

It has been suspended for three days.

But it's over today.

"Your Majesty. The mine is complete."

"Okay, get all the army ready to rush. Break down the wall with a signal."

Dig the tunnel and reinforce the tunnel with timber columns.

After the tunnel has reached the bottom of the wall, reeds and oil are scattered around the tunnel, igniting upon retreat.

The timber that supported the tunnel was burned down and the tunnel collapsed.

Naturally, the walls on top of it also collapse.

It is a traditional strategy from a long time ago.

This time, in addition to that, we also use gunpowder for no good.

"Crash!"

A low whistle sounds with my signal.

At the same time, a burning smell drifted, and immediately the castle wall collapsed.

"Assault !!"

At the same time, 40,000 troops flow from the collapsed city walls.

Thus, the fourth city also fell easily.

The city turns red.

The houses are burned down by the fire.

After the looting, there was no feeling that there was nothing.

"Your Majesty has become a bit harsh."

"Well, I saw sore eyes in the rebellion."

I smiled bitterly.

This is a message to the cities of Greece.

If you don't make peace early, all cities will be burned like this.

It is also one of the ways to relieve soldiers.

Until now, surrendered cities have banned looting.

However, the limit was approaching.

It was just good for degassing.

I have a feeling that I'm quite obsessed with the ethics of the Adernia Peninsula.

But burning a city is a fairly effective method.

Not only the visual effect, but also looting can secure the war costs.

In addition, the enemy's homeland burns, reducing the risk of revolt.

The Christians have a strong ethnic consciousness.

If autonomy is not allowed, burning will result in fewer deaths.

"But today is a week. It's about time we want to end the war."

Lymond mutters.

Crops must be cared for on an ongoing basis.

One week after the war started.

Large-scale mobilization has a large effect on national power.

"But now is a chance. Let's occupy the best place. If you miss this opportunity, there is no next."

Bartolo wants to continue the war.

In fact, the enemy seems not ready to fight back yet.

Now you can capture many cities with no resistance.

That's a problem.

"If there is a peace application from there, I will receive it, but I do not intend to apply for peace here."

If you apply for peace from here, you can see your feet.

We have to be the one who accepts it.

"Well, Bartolo. There are three cities around here."

"Yes, yes. This city is surrounded by three cities. It is a place where you can attack in three directions, and vice versa."

In other words, it is easy to attack and easy to attack.

Maintaining is a major strategic point.

Well, I don't really care now because I burned it.

"The three surrounding cities have populations of 16,000, 24,000 and 30,000, respectively. If you drop these three cities, the surrounding land is completely ours."

Even if we do peace, we want to cut it out.

"But if you attack one, the other will attack. What to do?"

"I have a little idea."

Bartolo smiled grinning.

Siege battles take time.

And the damage is great.

It will take two weeks for Japan to maintain its current force.

I want to finish it in a week if possible.

However, it is impossible to drop three large cities in a week in a siege.

In addition, rescue from other cities comes to concentrate on one city.

Dispersion of troops is a plan.

So what should I do?

that is……

"Your Majesty. You have successfully allied with the three city-states in the northeast."

"I see. Is this the sixth?"

I mark the map as I hear reports from the royals who have been dispatched as diplomats.

Many cities aim to become independent.

But independence is very difficult.

This area is where the Adernian and Christian powers meet.

Influential political cities such as Lezad, Nemes, Gehenna, etc., and the monarchy of Adernians ... In the past, the kingdom of Belvedir and now the kingdom of Rosais have been repeatedly interfering with domestic affairs.

There are two ways to choose a small country group between large countries.

One is to form a coalition between small countries.

But this is very difficult.

It is impossible to unite the intentions of more than tens of countries.

There are territorial disputes between city states in the first place.

Then there is one answer.

I have no choice but to receive asylum from a great power.

Until now, the cities around this area were under the asylum of King Belvedir.

However, the power of the Belvedir kingdom retreated due to the previous war, and many cities were forced to become independent.

However, sudden independence is impossible.

So they allied with Lezad and Gehenna, and the cities managed to become independent.

In other words, the city-states around here are allied with Lezad and Gehenna.

Now ... has Rezado and Gehenna ever helped the city-states?

No, they don't even have reinforcements.

Because Lezad and Gehenna were officially neutral in civil war.

However, in fact, they have fired cities and intervened by force.

But lost.

The two countries have excused the case, saying, "We are irrelevant, dogmatic in cities."

Therefore, we cannot directly protest that Japan will capture cities or take alliances to remove the threat.

And until now, the protests and peace intermediaries from Lezad and Gehenna have come, but no troops have come.

It seems that Lezard and Gehenna do not want to keep up with Japan.

Japan's military power is a major threat from Lezard and Gehenna.

In addition, some merchants have benefited greatly from trading with our country.

To them, friendly relations with our country are much more important than in the cities of Greece.

I'm sorry for the Christian cities.

He was told to help him in the event of an emergency, and he set out to war, defeated, and was abandoned.

The unity between the cities of the Greeks is no longer the same.

There is a chance to take advantage of it.

Apply for individual peace in each city.

Originally a city state with a population of a few thousand, which cannot be called a city, maintains security by being protected by other large city states.

Of course, instead of paying a lot of tax.

From their point of view, they only change what they protect.

All you have to do is make a promise.

That's why we are trying to break down a small city ...

Why does that lead to the capture of three big cities?

"It would be unpleasant and unpleasant to see the cities that we thought were our nations descending into the kingdom of Rossais one after another."

"And if the surrounding city-states become our own autonomous cities ... they will be isolated among enemies."

I and Bartolo infer the sentiment of the leaders of the three cities.

He explained earlier that small city-states are under the asylum of large city-states.

Indeed, the three regional powers of the region had placed the small city-states around them under asylum.

But the three cities are locked in cities and do not fight against the kingdom of Rosais (the invaders).

The centripetal force continues to decline as you see it.

In this state, all the small cities in this area will be under the control of King Rosais without fighting.

If you are surrounded, you will not be able to trade and water resources will be stopped.

Jiri poor.

To overcome this situation ...

"I'm going to have to compete in one or eight. The population of the three cities is 70,000 in total. If you mobilize to the limit, you can prepare 20,000. 40,000 to 20,000, you can not win "

Bartolo shrugged.

Giving weapons to old people, girls and children cannot help.

It is quickly kicked off.

In other words, it is impossible to overcome the situation with only three cities.

You can't do things you can't do.

And reinforcements cannot be relied on.

This is because the intentions of the cities are not yet unified.

In this case, the three cities have three options.

"One, surrender. Two, scramble to fight. Three, wait for reinforcements that will never come. Either."

Bartolo laughs grinning.

In other words, it is jammed.

For me, surrender is the best recommendation ...

"Your Majesty. This is a messenger from a sorcerer who has been monitoring the movements of the three cities. Three cities have raised their soldiers. Their number is about 10,000!"

10,000?

It doesn't seem like old women and girls are going to get involved.

Isn't that stupid so far?

Well, we don't want to kill the girl and the old man. Good, good.

"Close the city gates tightly in cities and tell them not to help or attack."

Ten thousand soldiers will not be greatly reduced when a small city strikes.

That's why it's hard to be helped.

In this world war, food is based on local charges.

Japan is refraining from looting, but it is also forcing food purchases.

Even if you can't do that, you will be hit hard by the enemy.

"And how do you cook 10,000 soldiers?"

"We control with poison."

Bartolo smiled with a bad character.
