Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

"Now, how to get rid of King Domorgar's army? Let's start the meeting."

Julia proclaims to the assembled tribes.

They are those who already know that I will take over the throne and have agreed.

Julia takes over as King Rossais's physical condition changes suddenly.

I brought Boros and Tetra.

In fact, they wanted to bring them, but they didn't because of their status.

"The enemy is 15,000. Let's assume this is 7,500. Let's talk. Do you have any suggestions?"

The tribes see the map spread out in front of Yulia and the pieces on it.

One of the tribes takes the piece from King Rossais and places it on the Terrier Fortress-the fortress at the border between the now-constructed kingdoms of As and Domorgar.

"Isn't the battle of the castles the best when it comes to defending with widows? When the kingdom of Belvedir attacked, I stood up in the fortress and fought with more than three times the enemy of troops, I was able to get my opponent to withdraw. ''

That's the name of a family with a surname of Ordovic.

The Ordovices are a branch of the Asu family and have a marriage relationship with the Rosais royal family.

Ordovices is located on the border with the kingdom of Belvedir.

Although there has never been a direct war with the kingdom of Belvedir, the skirmishes have occurred many times, so he has a wealth of experience.

"Certainly, you can't lose even a small number in the Kagogi battle, but you can't win. I will not withdraw. "

"Is it a field battle ... can you break it down with the diagonal lines of Bartolo?"

I heard that a royal family with a surname of Perm.

The Perm family is also related to the As family.

The Perm territory is bordered by the Diber territory, so if a civil war occurs, you can count on it.

There is a small salt mine in the territory, and it has considerable economic power.

However, he has little experience in battle.

"I can't use that hatched line unless I train it over and over again. Last time it was only the army of King Rossais and my private army, so how much was it ... this time?"

This time there are many, but it is hard to say that we are breathing.

The diagonal line will be difficult.

"The enemy is a large army of over 10,000. The food consumption is high, and the amount brought is exhausted immediately. In the first place, the enemy has to bring siege weapons for siege, so much supplies are You can't transport it, so you have to buy it locally or bring it in later. Drag the enemy deep inside, use scorched tactics and wait for the enemy to wear out, and cut off the supply line with the prone men. "

Tetra has come up with a fairly specific strategy.

But then, will the inner territory become scorched?

Will you return to scorched earth after reviving?

"Will that help the soldiers recruited from Us territory demoralize?"

Julia says the biggest drawback of Tetra's plan.

Scorched tactics mean you have to burn the fields yourself and throw poison and dirt into the wells.

If you don't, you'll be in charge of your own village ... morale will go down.

"Does Almus have any opinion?"

Do you shake me here ...

Is it natural that the general is me?

Well, opinion?

The best is a field battle, but not possible given the difference in troops.

The Kagojo battle can be advantageous, but the Kagojo battle is a tactic aimed at earning time.

I don't think there's any reinforcements ...

Hmm? Speaking of that ...

"It's true that the two countries that signed the Armistice Agreement were King Domorgar and King Gilbed, aren't the kings of Fardarm and the Kingdom of Rosel ...?

Wouldn't they withdraw if they were attacked from behind?

Until then, gain time in the Kagogi battle.

"I think that he has left some of the strength of King Demolgar, so he would not withdraw from our country immediately if he was attacked from behind. The kingdoms of Roselle and King Faldham are now in war I'm in. "

No, this is not.

Another strategy ...

"To be honest, I think it's good to cut off the supply line, as long as you can overcome the disadvantage of soldier morale."

Bartolo says.

I don't think the option of disconnecting the supply line is not bad.

That's right.

It's a problem because I'm doing scorched tactics in our territory. Can you do it in the enemy territory?

Hmm? Yes… Is it okay to do it within the enemy territory?

"How about this?"

I talk about a strategy I came up with.

The eyes of the royal family were rounded.

"It's a curse ... you don't need to worry. I think the surprise will be successful enough."

Lymond agreed with my opinion.

"I see. After that, after pursuing the target to withdraw, I pinch it in front and behind. Not bad. But if you do it too much, you will be killed immediately?"

Bartolo says he agrees, but complains.

That's it.

The biggest challenge in this strategy is mobility.

"I think we can do it with the mobility of a cavalry. Even light infantry can do it ... but there is a cavalry in the kingdom of Domorgar. There is no pool if attacked by a cavalry dispatched from the center If you're a cavalry, you can stir it thoroughly. "

The problem is that I have only a hundred cavalry.

King Rossais is certainly fifty.

too little.

"How much do you have?"

The tribes say the number of cavalry to their mouth.

A total of fifty.

In other words, there are two hundred cavalry in the country of King Rossais.

Not much, after all.

In the first place, riding a horse is a special skill, and you can not collect much.

So it cannot be the mainstay of war.

Although there are uses for messengers and reconnaissance, there is a hawk that is upward compatible in this world.

Where a horse takes hours, a hawk can fly in no time.

The value of a horse is low.

"I want at least 200 more. I can't feel safe."

Ordovis says.

"Well, why say you hire an Alva?"

Yulia suggested.

Who are you, Alva?

"Well ... the Alvarians ... are they barbarians?"

The face looks like Perm has crushed the insects.

"I don't want to be involved with that."

Ordobis also looks disgusted.

So who is the Alva.

Description please.

"The Alva were a long time ago ... a flat-faced descendant who entered the Germanic, Gaulian, and Adernian Peninsulas 500 years ago, living across the eastern mountains of the kingdom of Rossais, now a local Adernian It is completely assimilated with. ''

Tetra explains,

Five hundred years ago, the flat-faced people invaded the Adernia Peninsula on horseback and conquered almost all of Adernia.

The flat-faced tribes have created a great empire spanning Germanis, Gallia, and Adernia.

But after the death of the Great King, the flat face tribe split into dozens of clans.

Apparently, the Peninsula was ousted by Christians and Pofenians who had advanced to the Adernian Peninsula at that time, and Adernians who had rebelled against the control of the flat face tribe.

Later, the flat-faced people could not maintain Gaul and Germanis, and went back east.

He seems to have brought the horse riding technique to the west.

But not all flat faces have returned.

Some flat-faced tribes settled across the Alva Mountains, east of the kingdom of Rossais, the Alva region.

He became an Alva by assimilating with the local Adernians.

"The Alvar region is a dry land in the Adernia Peninsula that does not rain. It was originally flourishing, so it seems that it was easy to assimilate with flat face tribes."

So that's it. Is it hard to rain because it is on the east side of the mountains?

I don't know if there is a westerly wind in this world either, so I don't know, but let's assume there is.

Rain comes when wet winds come from the west.

But it doesn't rain because the Alva blocks the wind.

Is it like this?

Well, there are many other factors in the climate, but I can't say it.

"But why are you a flat face?"

Why is my nose so low?

"Yes, but the fundamental reason is that they had the custom of tying and crushing their nose when they were young."

Really flat? ...

There is no way to be treated as a barbarian.

"But you're assimilated to Adernians right now? Then you can speak Adernian. I feel like there's no problem."

"Yeah, yeah. He doesn't seem to have his nose squashed anymore. It seems that there weren't that many flat people. The words are accented and the way of life is different.

Both Julia and I agree with hiring Alvarians.

"A friend who has been trading wool and other small pieces with the Alva people. Since he is separated by the Alva Mountains, he has hardly had any war. I think it would be no problem if we treat him friendly from here."

"Yeah. Alva cavalry is a scary thing, and they're going to think that the country's southern policy is awkward. I think it's good."

Tetra and Bartolo seem to agree.

"Um ... Certainly, Alva cavalry may be helpful ... but there is no formal diplomacy with them ..."

"They are nomads. We have a different concept of state than we are. Where is the head ...?"

"There's also a problem with whom to negotiate."

Lymond, Ordovic and Perm seem to be the opposite because they are difficult.

Well, I need a bridge to negotiate.

Someone who is just good ... I know one person.

"There is a man named Ains, a Christian merchant. Earlier, when he bought horses from Aines, he said he had also bought from the Adernia Peninsula. Maybe he had bought from the Alva."

"Sure, that's right, that's right.

The day's meeting was over.

"Is it an Alva? I know."

A week later, Ains was called and the meeting was held again.

This time, King Rossais is also present.

By the way, my succession to the throne is hidden.

"It's divided into three kingdoms: the Equus, the Aries, and the Lupus, of which the Aries are weak and controlled by the Lupus. Feels like the Equus and the Lupus. is not it"

Well, are there two forces?

It is easy to do.

Because there are so many tribes that I can't help negotiating.

"Which mercenaries are likely to be negotiated?"

"The Equus, because the Lupus don't want to be involved with the outside world. On the other hand, the Equus are aggressive.

Although it is hard to rain, there is a river.

Agriculture can be done in such places.

Naturally, agriculture is more productive than nomadic. So it's natural to switch to agriculture, but it's usually scary to suddenly change your lifestyle.

The Equus people probably have rather advanced ideas.

"Can you ask me to mediate the negotiations?"

When I heard, Ains nodded with a smile.

"That's why it's cheap. Please chew one piece?"

In this way, the mission was sent to the Alva region.
