Bandit, Be Ambitious! To Accomplish Kingdom Revival!

Following a large queue, a new nobleman arrived at the eastern fort.

On a scale, two squadrons have one platoon of private soldiers. Looks like there were nearly twenty carriages in a row alone.

I attacked the rear of such a queue, but it seems that the enemy's resistance was stubborn and only took one carriage.

Let's thank God we didn't have to let the war dead out somehow.

"It consists of quite a bit of hand work. Bandit operations are going to be quite difficult."

"I guess we'll have to change the way we strike a little. In ten days, we'll be transporting loads east again. Wait till then."

Banditry is a valuable source of income for us, so we can't stop it that easily. I have to figure out a new way to raid.

The ridge over the street continues on a ninety-nine fold slope. Our raid point will be just around the corner, but if there is a narrow road cut off on both sides, a stone bow could be used from three directions. If you block the front with a spear car and shoot an arrow from the rear......

That said, you don't have a good place inside.

"Is there no place for narrow roads on the crossroads of the street?

"Speaking of narrow roads......, don't be here and here. It's a little closer to the foot."

Mr. Zairas spreads the map to the table to indicate the location of the narrow road with his fingers. One of them is close to the beacon platform of the beacon, and the other is just down the road. The last point Mr. Zairas showed was about half the way east of the exit.

I don't know what the distance is, but isn't there a few kilometers to the foot?

"Could you check the terrain of this place? Whether ambushes can be placed on either side, and whether there is a place to lurk soldiers from east to west……"

"Besides, that's where you can monitor it. Copy that."

Mr. Lady takes his seat and leaves the hall.

"What are we going to do now?

"I will perish. But if there was a slave in the luggage..."

"You just have to look it up and attack it. It's better to live miserably than to die."

Lure him into the narrow road and lock him up. A sturdy spear car would be able to stop even carriages and military horses. If we chase him up from the rear, he's bound to escape east.

At the end of the day, they are extinguished with stone bows and flamethrows from the top of a narrow cliff.

"Even a hand-worked squadron won't get away with it………"

"Besides, it's a raid quite far from where we were attacking. It may be said that it is within the territory of the Kingdom of Madenium. If it were to be damaged in such a place, the commander of the fort at the foot of the east would be more responsible than the new nobleman."

"The difficulty is that the streets are narrow in width. I wish I could chase him up from the rear with a horseback cavalry, but he's really on foot."

"I've heard that it makes it harder to move large troops. But the Kingdom of Madenium took it backwards."

They only assumed cross-border attacks by a small number of troops.

But I don't think it would be that difficult to get around in hundreds of people if the road was 3 meters wide. It would be troublesome to move heavy troops together, but if it is an electric shock fight...... With that said, I've heard about the electric shock before. A soldier crossed the road with only a few days of food.

If it's a narrow street, it's possible to travel, but it's not suitable for combat.

The units facing each other become squadron units with precision.

"Whatever happens to the banter operation, we're not going to follow it. Even if it kills us, we have no regrets."

"It's a little clearer than losing. That lasted a year. No one complains."

In a way, the princess and Mr. Zairas opened the door tonight when they said a word that could also be taken as a statement of determination.

One person stays in the hall and moves the pawn as he looks at the map of the street.

Mu made me a cup of tea and stepped back, so I will make a note of what I noticed while drinking the chicken.

It still looks like the stopping and moving means are going to be the neck.

If the road is wide enough, we can go in with the cavalry...

Mr. Lady came home two days later.

He seems to have investigated the narrow path of the planned raid in considerable detail. I'm a former hunter, so I'm pretty sure I can see what's going on around me. Is this how you check your surroundings when you put up a trap?

"Neither the herd of beasts nor the army has changed much. Lord Banter can be a good trap hunter."

Saying that, Mu is drinking the wine he brought.

"Looking at this record of investigation, you think we can see a good view of the east streets in this place?

"You can also see the west side. It's on top of a little ridge. Here's the problem."

The place Mr. Lady pointed out is a little square. It's just east of the narrow road.

"I was pulling a carriage in a heavy unit of the Royal Madenian Army, so I was aware of this square, but it's a pretty big square. It is possible to pull more than ten wagons from the street."

"You said there wasn't one back in the day?

"I think it's the square we built for the Kingdom of Cardina offense. There was a low ridge to the south before."

Definitely for replenishment and rest. On a squadron-by-squadron basis, didn't you get a break? Through this square, you can cross the narrow road to the west. I know you would have liked to have built it somewhere past you, but when you do that, your enemies will notice you. It must have been prepared only as a development of the streets of its own territory.

"It's hard to do when there's a square behind you. In some cases, you will also need to be prepared for the back. What's south of this square?

"It's a temporary resting place, so now it's busy. It's convenient to hide people and luggage."

Looks like you can hide more than two detachments in advance. It is convenient that the north-south cliffs of the narrow road are steep and over 20D (6M) high. It seems like a safety precaution is needed to keep your hips tied with a rope so that they don't fall off.

At the end of dinner the next day, show off your next raid plan.

The aim is to transport silver from Silver Mountain. According to Mr. Zairas, the calculation of the silver mountain in the Kingdom of Cardina seems to be about 40 kg per year. Thirty pieces of silver gold like lamb. It seems that a little gold can be picked during the refining process, but it is a small amount. Still, it's going to be ten gold coins, so I guess having a mine is like having a bank in this world.

"I've been a bandit for over a year, but I haven't carried any silver gold yet. I don't even think we stopped mining temporary mines in the war, and there should have been plenty of gold and silver treasures in the Royal Palace's treasury in the first place. I'm interested to know when that transfer will take place."

"Sure, silver coins on gold coins, and the transfer of jewellery seems to be going on, but I can't believe it was carried from the treasury. I suppose you're about to say that you've searched the noble hall."

Still, a lot of money's been brought to the fort, isn't it? I know nobility is expensive income, but I can't pin it on that scale.

"Are you saying that banters attack silver convoys?

"I was wondering if it would be just right in places. Once again, we should consider two squadrons more than we have moved from our home countries, which translates into that. The country should also be trooping and the number of soldiers is decreasing, but the two squadrons that have come seem to be elite units. Our troops barely have a luggage truck."

"The reason for sending the elite is……, transporting treasures, right?

I nodded heavily at Mr. Zairas' words. The people surrounding the table seem to be roaring low on our conversation.

"Are we going to say that we have funding for our plan?

"It's not. Both the Knights and the abandoned villages live without pay. If you don't have any problems with clothing and living, you won't need a particular salary. The cost of buying preferences and ingredients is insignificant. This raid will take the form of our challenge to the Madenian kingdom."

"So you've stabilized your neighbor because of it and you don't get much in return. If the Madenian kingdom lays conscription, the cost will not be foolish. Maybe all the treasures you've ever transferred to your neighbor have disappeared on the lookout money for the replacements and the soldiers who died in the war. Even slaves didn't get it satisfactorily."

"You mean the treasury of the Madenian kingdom is diminishing? Transferring treasures from the treasury of the Kingdom of Cardina for this purpose..."

"To say that you take that away from me would certainly slap a challenging letter. King Cardina's angry face comes to my attention."

To Mr. Toell's words, a smile leaks from around him.

Sure, you'd be mad. But since it was taken from our neighbor in the first place, you can't complain if it was taken from us. The rightful owner belongs to the princess next to me.

"But then they'll turn our crusaders around!

"Naturally it will. But where will you be spreading the crusade troops from? In some cases, the next raid will be against a squadron. How much force do you hit against a bandit enough to crush a squadron?

Troops are depleted in the first place. They are marching on a battalion scale to the four fortifications of the Kingdom of Cardina and to the security forces of the King's capital. We can hardly afford to be on our side any more than we need our troops to defend our country.

"Some hands are mercenaries, but collecting all mercenaries from neighboring countries does not make them squadrons. If you were to temporarily summon noble private soldiers, you would be able to reach squadron size..."

"It would be squadron size if the conscription of the people were combined. Perhaps the defence of the current Madenian kingdom could have more than half the aristocratic private and recruits. For that reason, King Madenium would be outraged, but so far he has no means to do so."

I guess I have no choice but to smile at my words like that.

Again, explain to everyone the plan of the raid.

Mr. Heidel is coming from Fort Heidel tonight, and Mr. Lady is in his seat. Although there is always no Dwarf leader present when we talk about the plans for the raid, it would be a long time since Mr. Radnen is here instead.

"It's also a problem to change the course of the raid too much, so I'll make it a simple plan…"

Block the exit east of the narrow road, trap transport units and drop arrows and flamethrows from front, rear, left and right.

To the east, three detachments of heavily armed infantry are placed, one detachment of lightly armed infantry and three magicians are placed on the cliffs of the north and south. To the west, if you put three squadrons of knights and push the spear car to the west, it would be a complete bag rat.

"This time I will leave Mr. Torrell's troops in this fort. Ten people from the abandoned village will be dispatched to the fort and this fort, so thank you for your absence."

"Wait!

In a hurry, Mr. Torrell raised his voice, but Mr. Zairas is shaking his head.

I played the lead role in Operation Righteous Allies, so no one would complain if I were to leave a message here this time.

Everyone's watching Mr. Torrell with the eyes that we're the stars this time, so we're just gonna have to give up.
