Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

Episode 250: Great Conquest of the Northern Part

About a week has passed since the siege of the royal city of Gilbed, Groseria, began.

The walls have begun to crumble in several places after being hit by catapults and catastrophes.

The garrison was beginning to be exhausted by the Romanian onslaught.

However, Grosseria was still not falling.

"Hmm, it's not good."

Ron muttered.

As expected, it takes more than a week to have problems.

First of all, the morale drops.

The side where the siege battle is being done also accumulates stress, but the side which does it accumulates stress.

Attack on the immovable ramparts never ends, and the morale gradually decreases.

Second, the issue of supply.

Food during the war is basically sourced locally.

It doesn't matter if it's looting, requisitioning, buying, or support from local forces.

The same goes for the Romanian kingdom, which has specialized logistics units.

No matter how important logistics is, you have to rely to some extent on local procurement.

But usually it doesn't matter much.

For the army moves constantly.

Rural villages and towns that have been demanded by the army are indeed sorry or even earning money, but that's an instant.

Therefore, it is not very problematic.

But it is different in a siege.

In a siege battle, you need to stay in the same place for a long time.

Inevitably, food will depend on the surrounding villages and towns.

If this is two days a day, there is no problem, but if it is two weeks, it is really the limit.

Attacking is like a royal road to attacking a castle, but in fact, the attacker is first in trouble with supplies.

Fortunately, the supply lines through the forest of Romaria continue, so they are not in distress as they forcibly plunder.

But it's a matter of time.

"Lon, good news. Checked."

Gram entered the camp with a happy face.

Upon hearing that, Ron shone.

"Really!!"

"Ah. I prepared two just in case, but it was wasted. That's why I can attack from two directions."

Ron grinned.

"So, let's move on to a total attack as soon as Rosward arrives."

"Oh, Operation 2 is almost complete."

"Is the movement of the Romanian army changed?"

King Gilbed frowned as he watched the Romanian army move from the top of the tower.

The scattered cavalry began to move to the center of the ramparts, and the Romanian soldiers, who would have stuck to the north and west gates, are now moving to some south and east gates.

Don't miss your prey.

"... are you going to launch a total attack?"

Until now, the Romanian army did not use its full power and was constantly waving.

A total attack on a weak city would be too costly.

However, the Romanian army has begun a total attack.

"Silly, this city is still falling. On the contrary, I'll make a big blow."

King Gilbed smiled grinning.

Then command all the soldiers to intercept.

And ...

Burn! ! !

Such an explosive sound came from the ground.

And then you hear the sound of something breaking.

"Hey, what's the sound right now?"

"That's tough. The northern and western walls collapsed !!"

King Gilbed's eyes widened.

"Good!"

"Yay!"

"Yatter !!"

Ron, Rosward and Gram exchanged high fives.

Saw Young, Leah and Lulu look at each other with joy.

The tactics taken by the three men are a type of siege tactics called mine operations.

It's an easy and difficult tactic to dig a tunnel in the ground, go under the wall, and then destroy its foundation.

Only the nations of Russia, the Royal Army of Rosé, led by General Cry, or the Romanian Army, have the technology to do this.

The Kingdom of Romania was originally a country where rock mining was active.

Therefore, there is no problem for engineers who can dig the tunnel.

As a method to prevent this tunnel operation, there is an object called an opposing tunnel.

Place a bottle of water, shake the water to find the location of the tunnel, and the defender digs the tunnel and destroys the attacking tunnel.

First of all, it is difficult to identify the tunnel, and is there a professional engineer in the castle? Due to the problem of, this counter tunnel is very difficult.

However, Gram dug two tunnels in consideration of the possibility of digging a counter tunnel ...

King Gilbed, who had never expected to be attacked by the castle, had no engineer capable of digging the opposing tunnel, so the effort was broken.

"Well, should we make a report before the attack?"

Ron sent his messenger to the country of King Gilbed.

The surrender condition ...

Alliance between King Faldham and King Domorgar

Declare war on both countries

Abduction of King Gilbed

Study the royal family of King Gilbed into Rosais, the capital of the Romanian kingdom

Ceding of all directly controlled territories of the country of King Gilbed, except around the royal capital

Alliance with King Gilbed, alliance with all royals. And surrender recommendations

A lump-sum payment of compensation of 500 Tarants and a compensation of 500 Tarants for 10 years and a total of 1,000 Tarants

And King Gilbed saw it ...

"I can't drink under these conditions !!"

He turned to the messenger against Ron for room to negotiate.

Ron ...

"Good"

The cavalry led by Rosward flows into the city as a single, followed by heavy infantry units.

The street battle lasted for an hour and ended with King Gilbed's capture in the Romanian kingdom.

Thus, the Griffon flag flew over Grosseria, the capital of King Gilbed's country.

"Well, it's a great country.

Alexius withdrew Phalanx, Manipulus, and cavalry as his master, and withdrew immediately after defeating 10,000 soldiers of King Faldam.

As it happened, 10,000 people were isolated, so they were able to destroy them well, but not necessarily the next time.

No, as the siege ring is shrinking little by little, closing this neck was a matter of time.

"And the soldiers are going to taste bad."

As long as they are isolated from the kingdom of King Faldham, the means of securing supplies are looting and charging.

However, where there is supplies, King Faldamm is always waiting.

Food is decreasing.

The fact that they were isolated in enemy territory also affected the morale of the soldiers.

I can't fight any more.

One hawk arrived at Alexios who thought so.

Hawk mail.

"Hmmmm, what ... what is it?"

Alexios smiled after a happy report from Ron.

And he gathered the soldiers and told:

"Rejoice! Grosseria, the capital of the king of Gilbed, has fallen! Our role is here. Withdraw immediately!"

"" Ooh oh !! "

Thus Alexius left the kingdom of King Fardham by ship and landed in King Gilbed to join the Almus.

Meanwhile, the General of King Gilbed's nation heard reports of the fall of the royal capital and immediately began counting.

In other words, should we fight, surrender, or withdraw?

If you reward loyalty, you should fight.

However, there are reports that King Gilbed, a partner to be rewarded for his loyalty, was captured.

The Prince has no idea whether he died or was caught or ran away for unknown life.

Then, who do you want to reward for your loyalty ... who is the general of the king of Gilbed?

There are three princes of King Gilbed's country, sealed off in the northern and southwestern part.

Perhaps some of them will raise the anti-Romalian flag.

Someone is.

The question is who.

Before fighting against the Romanian kingdom, a relative struggle is likely to occur first.

That is not the kingdom of Romania.

First of all ...

What about my army?

Of the 60,000 troops, 20,000 are soldiers of the royal territory under the direct control of the king.

And the remaining 40,000 are private soldiers of the tribe, including the troops they brought.

Now that you have lost the king, how much do you hear the tribes say?

Suspicious place.

However, King Gilbed also benefits.

I can't betray him, and even if he successfully turns over, he doesn't know how much the Romanian kingdom will trust or value him who has betrayed the king easily.

And then ...

"Once, withdraw."

Maybe the prince is alive.

If the prince is alive, he can still rewind.

If you win, you're a hero of the country.

"I have to fight at least once. In such a case, it is hard to be a powerful man."

The man sighed.

Thus, the second operation was successful.

The Romanian Federal Army embarked on a third operation, Dividing the Enemy Force.

Meanwhile, Almus at that time.

Almus: "Good! Ron and his colleagues have dropped Grosseria, the capital of the country of King Gilbed!"

Raymond "I'm seeing the win!"
