Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

When Alexios was fighting Kepka .........

Ron was fighting for a siege.

The enemy's resistance was intense, the tunnels built by Ron were devastated, and the siege tower was burned as he approached.

Walls destroyed by catapults are quickly repaired.

But desperate resistance will eventually come to an end.

"Shogun! I succeeded in destroying the castle gate with a hammering hammer!"

"Okay, the whole army! Turn on the attack !!"

All the soldiers who have been taking turns resting are thrown into the attack.

The Romanian army flows into the city and a fierce street battle begins.

Beforehand, barricades were made inside and the advantage of the land was on the defense side ...

However, the Romania forces push by an overwhelming difference.

The city war was over by the evening of that day.

"Plundering, assault, and rape are forbidden, but those who resist are cut off mercilessly!"

Due to Ron's orders in advance, looting by the Romanian army was not apparent.

Standing out ...

It just happens somewhere.

But all this can't be helped.

No matter how advanced technology or ethics education, there is nothing to be done as long as human beings are human.

"Well ... do you tell Alexius?"

A few days later, Alexios, who learned of the fall of the city of Astart, burned down a fortified castle and quickly joined Ron.

Kepka Barka prioritized joining with reinforcements and did not pursue Alexios, so Alexius could withdraw without incident.

…… Alexios had prepared a number of traps to fit the kepka that he pursued, but they were sorry to miss them.

Kepka, who knows Alexio's character and how to fight, has refrained from pursuing it.

"But the problem is the enemy's strength. The strength of the Pofenian army has already expanded to 90,000. As expected, it can't fight 90,000 against 40,000."

"Isn't General Alexius too bad?"

"The enemy general is Kepka Barka, isn't the General defeating Kepka Barka before?"

"If the opponent is the opponent, it's okay ... the enemy is Barca. There is no general in Barca. I'm above Kepka Barka for ambush, information warfare, night raid. , In front of the fight ... no, maybe Kepka Barka has a little bit more? "

When Ron and Rosward hear this, they remember when Bartolo and Kepka fought.

Even Bartolo could not attack Kepka.

No, maybe it was even lost.

Kepka Barka is such an opponent.

"... Who is the enemy general except Kepka Barka?"

Ron asks Alexios.

Alexios thinks for a while before answering.

"Yes ... well, it's actually from pin to kiri even though you say 'barka', but it's important to note ... 'shemal' was married to the Barca family as a son-in-law. The next son ... My brother, David, is a pretty good general too.

Alexios said that ...

"My eldest son, next head, my brother, Belshazzar. His ability is about the same as His Excellency Bartolo Pompeius. The way he fights is similar .... and Barka, my father, Ceal ..... I don't want to admit it, but ... I can't win. It may be difficult even for His Excellency Bartolo Pompeius. "

Although……

Alexios smiled.

"To put it plainly, war involves luck. It's true that the victory has been decided before the battle ... but that's not the case, but that's not the case. It's impossible for soldiers to get into a victory before fighting. That's the field of diplomats and politicians. "

Military personnel can manage their assigned troops to achieve their political goals.

That's it.

Anything beyond that would be an act of over-rights.

"So there is no guarantee that Ceal Barca and I and you will fight and lose. In my eyes, you are more than good enough. Follow the teachings of His Excellency Bartolo Pompeius and follow the straightforward approach If you are fighting, you will not lose badly. ''

"……Is that so?"

"I don't have much awareness even if I say excellent ..."

Ron and Rosward tilt their heads.

But, that is inevitable.

Because the objects to be compared are Bartolo and Alexios.

However……

It can be said that it is good enough if you consider it to be comparable to Bartolo and Alexios.

In fact, the current Adernia peninsula has only Tonino after Bartolo and Alexios, except for Ron, Rosward and Gram.

I want you to forget about Al-san.

"I have to wait for reinforcements first."

Alexius immediately called for Arms to reinforce Arms after engaging Kepka.

I wanted to avoid fighting with the same number when fighting Kepka.

And the fact that Kepka is only a pioneer can be reasonably inferred from the fact that Sial Barka has not yet appeared on the battlefield.

"How many soldiers does Pofenia have?"

"I don't want to be told that we have soldiers. Pofenia has very few soldiers."

Alexios smiled at Ron's question.

Ron turns his head curiously.

"Because Pofenia relies on mercenaries for the army, but ... you can hire any Pofenian financial resources."

"Well, how much?"

"But because we can't maintain logistics, the limit we can hire at a time is 100,000. So the number of Pofenian troops is down now."

Currently, there are 90,000 Pofenian troops deployed on Trisiceria.

Assuming there are 10,000 remaining in mainland defense, there is no doubt that today is the maximum force.

"I want His Majesty to make a quick choice."

"Is it a choice? That is ..."

Alexios answered Rosward's question.

"Whether you're going to have an all-out war with Pofenia or have peace sooner. Either."

"What do you want? His Majesty the King"

"I don't know ..."

I sighed.

What bothers me is Alexis's request for reinforcements.

Alexios wants to be a reinforcement ...

Sixty thousand.

Combined with troops currently deployed on Trisiceria, the total is 100,000.

The total strength of our country is ...

The Romanian kingdom alone has 160,000.

Including the Federation, it is around 300,000.

That number, one hundred thousand, is one-third.

Don't forget ...

Our soldiers are also citizens of our country.

This number of 300,000 is equal to our working population.

If we lose this in the war, our country will not recover.

"Raymond, what do you do?"

"Maybe halfway is the best."

So that's it……

After all, do you think so?

If so, talk is fast.

"Bartolo, call on Gram. And we're going to get 60,000 troops right away ... two months."

"Are you sure?"

"If possible, they wanted to preserve the Roselle Kingdom ... but there's no way."

Go for the best.

The aim is ...

It's a short battle.

"No, no way ... Is the Roselle kingdom OK?"

"The Majesty has determined that there is no problem. Rather, he wants to end this battle sooner."

Bartolo answers Alexius's question.

Since we have a non-aggression treaty with the Kingdom of Roselle, we can assume that there will be no invasion for a while.

Bartolo and Gram have been led by 60,000 large forces.

Romanian army 30,000.

Federation Army 20,000.

And 5,000 Alva cavalry, 5,000 Germanic cavalry, 10,000 cavalry.

That's it.

"Alexios Cornelius. How do you think you should fight?"

"Oh, why me?"

"You know the Balkas best."

Indeed, Alexius was convinced.

And after thinking for a while ...

"The enemy divides the army with a high probability."

"Why is that?"

"It's because we can't maintain a logistics. We're OK because we have some logistics systems ... but Pofenia has poor logistics. We can't deploy a large army to the same place at once."

"I see, but ... aren't we the same?"

Both the Romanian army and the Pofenian army ...

At the end of the day, you have to rely on local procurement.

Therefore ... The limit of the force that can be gathered in the same place for a long time is about 30,000 to 40,000.

Anything beyond that will lead to land devastation.

"So we'll keep in touch as much as possible .... Japan has a higher number of sorcerers. On the rugged terrain of Trisiceria, the sorcerer hawk will be faster than Hayama. And ... I will destroy each Pofenian general. "

"I see, it's not bad"

"Well, given the terrain of Pofenia in the first place, it is unlikely that there will be any large-scale battles. Siege battles and defense battles, as well as siege, severance, and cutoffs in the access roads. The key is "

Alexios and Bartolo hold hands.

"Then I'll attack the island eastward."

"Then I will continue to attack westward as before. Let's do our best together."
