Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

Episode 268 First Pofenian War First Year Ⅲ

Trisiceria is a very warm island.

And sober.

For a long time, it was known as the Tethyan granary.

It is also a strategic point that divides the Tethys Sea into east and west.

And ...

Trisiceria has very rough terrain.

There are few great plains where the army can fight from the front.

As a result, the battle on Trisiceria is a siege battle ...

The disturbance is fundamental.

"Melia, what is the position of the enemy?"

"Southwest from here, the number is around 40,000 .... His Excellency Alexius."

Receiving a report from his wife, Melia, Alexios thinks with her hand on her chin.

"The enemy is 40,000, this is 20,000. It's not a good idea to face the opponent from the front. So you should avoid the duel ... And you may be freed from Ashart. ''

Above all, the land is in the Barca family.

The Barkas, who have been active in Trisqueria for many years, have more information on the terrain.

"So what do you do? His Excellency Alexius"

"Well, yeah ... a little east of here, there's a big road. If Kepka Barka wants to release his Ashart, he must go through it. Let's build a field battle there."

"Is it civil engineering?"

"Yes, it's a specialty of the Romanian army ..."

"Alexios guy ... I'm in a troubled place."

Kepka Barka moaned.

Alexios set up on the highway leading to Astart.

In other words, Kepka had to defeat Alexius to release Ashart, but ...

To make matters worse, Alexios is building a field battle and defending his defenses.

If you do not break through this defense, nothing will help.

In fact, there are detours.

However, the detour has a narrow road and goes roundabout.

If you stretch your squadron long enough, you will be defeated in a surprise attack by Alexios.

Alexios is a man who is good at such tactics.

"Alexios. Just as you know my way, I know your way ... will you not get in that hand?"

Kepka also built a field battle at a distance, and both glared.

"I can't find an attacker."

Kepka looks awfully at Alexandius's ground from a hill.

It's a perfect castle with no fun, but no chance.

Just like a simple fortress.

Alexios is not good at straightforward methods such as castle construction and battles in front of the plains.

It turns out that Alexius was not the one who designed the castle,

Undoubtedly, it is a work by Bartolo Pompeius.

Either Bartolo Pompeius taught Alexios, or a manual was provided.

One month after glaring.

It's about time for Astart to reach its limits.

You have to attack.

"I'm not very good at tricks ... but I have to play with them."

Kepka retrieves detailed maps and information on the land.

Then, make a plan.

"... Gather the elite, sneak up tonight."

Kepka ordered his deputy secretary.

I mentioned earlier that Trisiceria is a rugged terrain.

Therefore, there are many obstacles.

I mean ...

This means that you can fight using ambush.

"Good or never make a noise?"

Slowly, in the dark night, the Pofenian army approaches the Romanian army.

The Romanian army fires a torch and is watching around ...

Exactly, there are places where undulations block light and become blind spots.

Pofenian troops were hiding there.

Approach carefully, without making noise.

Night raids are risky, but can have a significant effect.

The only tactic that can change the tactics.

Pofenian troops approach their limits.

And ...

"Yet !!!! Go !!!! Assault !!"

The Pofenian army shouted and assaulted the Romanian army.

And ...

"Come here! Release your arrows!"

An arrow of the Romanian army, which had previously detected the night raid, fell on the Pofenian army.

Then, the Romanian soldiers jump out of their positions and slash and kill Pofenian soldiers one after another.

The night raid has completely failed.

"It's like having a night raid against me. Night raids are my proprietary patent, right?"

Alexios touches his eye patch.

Alexios used an owl to foresee the movement of the Pofenian army in advance.

And ...

"Now it's your turn."

Meanwhile, at that time, there were troops sneaking into the Pofenian army.

"Don't make a noise, absolutely."

They are Romanian soldiers.

Alexios anticipated that when the castle was built, Kepka would someday launch a night raid.

When people are attacking, they do not think they will be attacked.

So Alexios thought he would do the night raid in response to Kepka's night raid.

Again, Alexios had soldiers share the eyes of an owl.

Now you can see the darkness.

It is the result of everyday training.

"... go, now !!!! Assault !!"

Romanian infantry assaults Pofenian positions.

"Attack !!"

The watchman raises his voice and informs the enemy of the attack.

But ...

"Start throwing!"

The Romanian infantry throws ignited black gunpowder bombs one after another at enemies.

White smoke erupts from the bomb, which has been modified to emit more smoke.

Originally, it was difficult to see in the dark, but the view was further blocked by white smoke.

"Attack! Attack!"

"I can't see where!"

"Bring a torch, bring a torch !!"

"Wait, I'm an ally ... Gua oh !!"

"Oh, you are an ally ... no, enemy?

The Pofenian army was in chaos.

Meanwhile, the Romanian troops penetrate deep into the Pofenian camp and throw large amounts of oiled black powder bombs.

Oil explodes at the same time as the explosion and spreads.

The Romanian army, who had finished the attack, did so and withdrew from the Pofenian army.

Even if you leave it alone, the number will decrease as Pofenian troops fight each other.

"Calm down! No more enemies! Put on your weapons !!!"

Kepka raises his voice and tries to confuse him.

Fortunately, the damage was minimized by pre-determining the password and meeting place so that the same mistakes as the previous time would not be repeated.

Kepka lost 5,000 troops in this surprise attack.

"Well, isn't it the third time ..."

One month after the mutual night raid.

Alexios again set up a night raid ... and failed.

Fortunately, the withdrawal was smooth and the damage was minor.

Kepka is not stupid.

It's just a warning that you won't miss a mouse this time.

"Well ... it wouldn't taste good."

Alexios' purpose is to stop Kepka ...

Remember that the purpose of Kepka is also a stop for Alexios.

One after another, enemy soldiers will be sent from the country of Pofenia.

"His Excellency Alexios! There is a report!"
