Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

In April, vegetation began to bud in the southern part of the Adernia Peninsula.

Depending on the day, the season becomes hot like summer.

At the same time as the creatures emerge from the burrows and begin their activities ...

Mzio Sulpicius Equus started to move.

"I have received 500 soldiers from His Majesty Almus. Rosward Carplnius. Thank you."

Rosward lightly bowed to Mzio.

Muzio approaches Rosward.

"I'll be grateful. I look forward to your success."

The two shake hands.

Later, Rosward sat down.

Here are the Equus ministers and sorcerers, as well as generals from Rosward and Gehenna, and the full-fledged representative of the Arièse tribe.

"Now, we'll start the army. The strategic goal is to destroy the Lupus. We'll get rid of it in a month."

If the war continues for a long time, the deaths will increase accordingly.

I want to avoid it as much as possible.

The reason is that the kingdom of Rossais is so powerful.

Apart from that, Mzio does not intend to fight against the kingdom of King Rossais and is not dissatisfied with his current semi-national position.

An underpopulated Alva could never be as enemies as a populated Adernian.

I am pleased that I was able to ride the winning horse earlier.

However, it is a bit of a problem that the gap in national power is too wide.

There is personal friendship between me and Almus. At least as long as both are alive.

But after one dies, it becomes dangerous.

After his death, does the Sulpiquius Equus family maintain their sovereignty or release their sovereignty and become a nobleman ...

Either way, there are a lot of cards and it's never been better.

Incorporate the Lupus and Arièse tribes as intact as possible and form a unified Alva.

That was Muzio's goal.

"First, get Gehenna to attack the Lupus. Lupus's troops concentrated in the south and rushed to the south. At the signal, the Arièse tribe revolted. Drop the head of the patriarch and his keeper! "

The Alva area is small.

The Albans are equestrian nomads, and their means of transportation are horses.

Unless there is a stalemate, the war will end shortly before blinking.

"I wish you all the best!"

April 5

Gehenna forces advance to a fort built between the Lupus territory and Gehenna.

He stocked up his army and set out to move north.

April 7

Lupus cavalry invades the fort with lightning force.

The battle begins.

Of the 10,000 Lupus mobilization limit, about 4,000 besieged the fort.

Gehenna's army, on the other hand, stands in the 2,000 forts.

The Lupus class is cavalry.

Useless in siege battles.

On the other hand, Gehenna's army is not willing to fight from the beginning, consuming food collected in the fort and keeping a basket.

With a thousand hands, the battle stalled.

April 14

Muzio-led Equus cavalry 7,000 begins to move north.

At the same time, the Arièse, who had been oppressed by the Lupus, rebel.

"Start throwing!"

Five hundred cavalry led by Rosward throw a small pottery pot filled with black powder using a trebuchet.

More than 500 bombs fall on the Lupus.

Smoke and sound of gunpowder dominate the battlefield in an instant.

The sudden sound of the explosion surprises and rampages the Lupus horses.

Some of them appear to be knocked down by horses, others kicked and killed by horses, and others trampled.

The Equus and Arièse cavalry, who were scattered a short distance away, attacked the Lupus, who was in chaos.

"Releasing an arrow !!"

He fires an arrow at the confused Lupus, and after narrowing his distance, he changes his weapon with a sword and cuts his neck.

The grassland is bright red with Lupus blood.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

A man of the Lupus tribe ... A man assigned to the Arièse tribe raises his voice and begins to retreat.

However……

"That's not going to happen."

Muzio draws the arrow and squeezes the wind into the arrow.

The arrow wearing the wind rotates and penetrates the man's temple.

"The enemy is this me, Mzio Sulpicius Equus has taken down !!"

Muzzio exclaims, and the Equus and Ariace cheers.

The Lupus lost morale and surrendered.

Two thousand Lupus soldiers died in this battle, and one thousand surrendered.

The Lupus lost 10% of the total population of 30,000.

"Hey, good, good! I'm drinking! Rosward!"

Drunk Mzio gets involved in Rosward.

Then pour sake into the empty Rosward glass.

"Let's drink now, because this victory is due to the fire secrets of the cavalry of the kings of Rossais kingdom."

"Ahahaha ..."

Rosword laughs vaguely.

Drunken opponents are accustomed to Bartolo, so Muzio will do the same.

Rosward drinks a milky horse milk, frowning at herself.

Rosward's tongue and nose screamed in the wine of King Rossais.

"By the way, is it time for peace? I guess you have lost 10% of the population?"

"Hmm? What are you talking about? You're still down only 10%."

Rosward doubted his ear.

Mzio drinks horse milk.

"Lups tries to replace the defeat. There is another big battle again."

Equestrian nomads, unlike farmers, are less likely to lose their population.

For agro-ethnics, if the labor force is reduced, the food productivity will be reduced at a stretch, but the food situation of horse-riding nomads who run nomads will improve as the population decreases.

And a percentage of the population turns over to the enemy altogether, a common occurrence in the Albanian world.

This is because not all Equus and Lupus tribes are Equus and Lupus tribes.

What this means is that the state of the Equus is a state composed of the most influential Equus clan and a small number of clans like bunch of grapes.

In fact, about 10,000 of the Equus belong to the Equus clan.

The remaining 20,000 are minorities.

And so was the Lupus.

Therefore, it is a common occurrence that if a controlled clan turns over a dominant clan and joins another clan, the population will decrease at once.

"That's it. This is all tomorrow."

Muzio laughed inappropriately.

April 15

Numerous clans subject to the Lupus successively surrendered to the Equus clan and sworn in.

Out of about 30,000, 20,000 minority clans swore loyalty to the Equus clan.

Only 3000 of the 10,000 Lupus clans remained.

"I ask first. Are you willing to surrender? The Lupus tribe. If you surrender, you will not be treated badly. I swear to God."

"Such a sweet word, do you believe ?!"

The Lupus Clan yells.

Men of the other Lupus clans also go along.

... But Muzio did not overlook that half of them were losing energy.

"Let's do this. Clan Lupus. Would you like to duel me? If you win, all of you will follow me. If you win, I will retreat quietly."

"Are you really saying?"

"I'm serious."

From the expression of Mzio, the clan realizes that Mzio is serious.

Both swear to the god of battle to fight fairly and begin a duel while the two armies watch over.

"First of all, do not use blessing."

"... I'll regret it."

They are about thirty meters apart and gaze at each other.

Both started at the same time.

Kick the horse's belly and close the distance.

"Die!"

"Ah ah !!!"

Both swords intersect.

The sword flew high and fresh blood polluted the ground.

"My win!"

Muzio proclaimed exuberantly.

Thus, the Alban Reunification War ended in ten days.

"How is it!

After the war, I asked Muzio, and when I met, Mizio said with a grin.

There were three women on both sides of Muzio.

One knows. This is Lacera, his wife.

...... Who are the other two?

"Have a sense!"

Muzio places his hand on the two ass who are likely to be new wife.

Laquera is staring ...

Perhaps one is the daughter of the Arièse clan.

He had heard that he would fall asleep from the ruins.

But another one?

Maybe she ’s a Lupus girl…

Perhaps the ex-wife of the Lupus clan?

…… It ’s possible.

Alvarian marriage customs seem dark.

"Let's talk about the future."

Mzio urged him to enter a small yurt (tent).

"That's why we succeeded in unifying the Alva people. We will no longer be worried about the rear, so we can actively lend soldiers."

"Thank you."

But ... isn't it difficult to maintain, not unify?

Especially for equestrian nomads, the Albans.

"Well, but that's ... I think there are two reasons Alva people haven't been able to unify themselves, and even if they are unified, they'll soon revert to the era of war."

Mzio pushed a V in front of me.

"One is that the activities are family and clan units, and two is that the dominant clans have the tyrannical rule."

"So, what do you do differently than before?"

"Oh, I rule the country with the thousand-family system."

Muzio began talking about his vision.

First, divide the men who belong to the current clan into as many as one hundred.

Collecting ten hundred units made in this way creates a unit called one thousand units.

This thousand houses is a political and military unit.

In addition, a leader is selected from among these 1,000 houses about once every five years.

The Chief of the House becomes the political and military leader of the House and has the right to attend tribal meetings.

The clan system will not be dismantled immediately because it is a military and political unit, but the significance of the clan will change drastically.

The king was elected from the Sulpicius Equus sect.

However, the election method is a tribal conference.

The term of the king is lifetime.

"Isn't that quite repulsive?"

"I'm better than what you're doing. The first thousand houses will be made in clan units. Even though the name is 1,000, there could be a lot of 2,000 or 500 people in the house. Do it and deceive it

I see……

Well, isn't it good?

"Please tell me if you have any help."

"Would you teach me agriculture? I want to increase the population."

"If you give me a horse"
