Bandit, Be Ambitious! To Accomplish Kingdom Revival!

The next night, everyone gathered at Fort Aldes.

Looks like all the people involved are here because Mr. Otto came on the Rabba from the nest fort as well. He's sitting at the edge of the table as far as Mr. Emilda. Mu and the others are sitting with Marian bringing a chair near the fireplace.

"Let's report it from me. The number of enemy reinforcements that entered the fort at the foot last night was 57 platoons."

"Four battalions would be 64 platoons, right?... we cleaned up seven platoons?

So is Zaylan, but the people who surrounded the table are also surprised.

This is all the enemy soldiers we've buried since we raided the Silver Block Transport.

"Now that we've cut back 10% of our enemies, and we've got plenty of night fire arrows in the fort at the foot, we'll be even less. Besides, there's no food in the fort, so it looks like one platoon came today to loot the village of Althenum. Mr. Torrell's unit has left, but he seems to have done quite a bit of work."

"But there were three horseback riders, and they drove down the street towards the king's capital."

"Probably a reminder to send food. You can leave me alone."

"There's an early horse in the streets. As Lord Banter instructed, I stopped him with an arrow."

"Now what happens? Release the fire arrows again in the middle of the night, one arrow will suffice. Mr. Lady, I need you to keep an eye on him."

The question is how long you'll be in a fort like no food or water.

One more push and some soldiers will come out running from the army.

"Probably a soldier fleeing the army will come out. So you're going to say it's the way it was supposed to be?

"It would help if you ran away at night on a squadron scale, but it wouldn't be that many. But a band of bandits working within the Madenian kingdom should be created. We may attack the village at night, so we'll leave it to Mr. Zairas to place troops in the fort and the village."

"Then it's time to go out. Torrell, let's go!

Are we going to discuss roles on the way?

I hope I'm not in the wrong costume.

"We'll see what happens for a while, won't we?

"Also, the Madenium nobility is going to come, but let us be convinced that we are keeping the village safe. Knowing that other countries are the first to manage their territory would put their position at risk."

Answer that to the princess, and now Mr. Otto will confirm his assault again.

Answer and put down that you want the fort and the flaming platform to be protected rather than raided. Raids should be fired arrows from the south on narrow roads to the west. I pressed it down just in case I didn't want you to think about reducing the number.

"It would be troublesome if the Madenian kingdom sent more reinforcements. The power of the fort at the foot is increased at once."

"It doesn't matter how much more. Reduce it on a squadron-by-squadron basis with silver transfers. More than that, the reinforced troops' food must be the problem. It appears that we have not yet transferred cereals taken up as taxes this year. As food for reinforcements, you must have stored it in the fort, but I burned the fort at the foot, so I don't have enough food to feed a battalion. All you need to do is be on the side of justice."

"Looks like we're going to be transferring food from other forts.... Are you going to attack me?

"You've got a military horse. Attack aggressively. Just light the convoy's load."

An act of looting within the Kingdom of Cardina would be no problem if it dealt with the army. After the raid, you can escape in the direction of the street and return to this fort at night.

A soldier flees the fort in the first place in less than a month?

◇

A few days after the raid on reinforcements, soldiers from the fort at the foot came to the village of Altenham, just south of this fort, on a platoon by platoon basis, but Mr. Zairas and Mr. Torrell led the distribution to protect them.

Nowadays, they're going to buy grain at the price of pulling the luggage car and putting it up slightly, but it's going to only be a sparrow tear because we're close to three battalions.

I sent soldiers to the Wang capital and the fortifications to the west and south to follow a line of luggage on my way home, but it still seems to have one battalion of troops in the fortifications at the foot.

They also do repairs to broken barracks and halls, but the occasional fire arrows are fired upon, so morale must be at its lowest.

He has run his horses to his country several times, but all of his heavily armed infantry has been destroyed. Still, the tragedy of reinforcements will be transmitted to the country because of the movement of merchants.

"Mr. Lady's story is that three battalions of four battalions have just arrived, but two squadrons have escaped?

"You will. Half of them will reach the southern part of the Madenium. Many of them were injured, so I think that's the number of people who would be bandits in the Madenium country even if they escaped. That said, it's not something you can suddenly live in a bandit. I was wondering if there would be less than 20 deserters left in six months."

As I was talking to Mr. Emilda about chess, the princess turned to us.

"We started the bandits easily, didn't we? Are bandits a little different from bandits?"

"You said Ajito and territory were important, right? I wish they could find it, but I don't think there's a good Azito at the foot, and if you have a territory that can target prey as a village or town, you have to constantly contend with the soldiers of policing. Attacking a village is harder than attacking a wagon in the street."

"Hmmm...... So you're saying the fort is harder? It's around here that the banter isn't willing to ride the fort offense."

Marian is smiling at the princess's words. Do you think the world might have figured it out a little bit?

"But then I don't think we can ever rebuild the kingdom?

"I'm starting to understand a little bit. Not from this side, but from the other side. I've read in something that defense is extraordinarily easier than attack. Is this fort and the barracks below for that matter!

As the princess seems to understand, do we have to think about it a little bit? Or is that all you're used to fighting for?

"Sadie's done a fine job, too. This is a passage from Lord Fendor's book."

"I've read it too. But it didn't say much about the actual situation, so I didn't know it was a good idea..."

Mr. O'Brie turned to us, holding an awesome dice. Is that why you want a commentary?

"Right. Now let's take this fort as an example and say that defense is easier than attack……"

Retract the chessboard a little and spread the map over the table. This map depicts dozens of kilometers around Fort Aldes.

The village of Mictus is depicted in the streets and in the fortifications at the foot, in our two fortifications and in the flaming platform.

"In building this fort, there were two conditions that could never be ceded. That there is a path to the village at the foot, and that there is a water field."

Beyond being a gentle slope stretching from the mountain range, the road to the village becomes a mountain path. It's not that hard to open the road to wasteland, but when it comes to building fortifications and villages at the foot of the mountain, you'll take advantage of nature and the valley. That means we can't get the big army through at once because it involves narrow roads.

Now, they're catching the horseback riders on the valley road and destroying them.

"Besides, soldiers on the hill are more conducive to attacking than soldiers on the hill. Arrows fly far, and enemies cannot attack unless they ascend the hill. Yoroi and weapons are heavy, so that's all I get tired of.

But it's definitely not. With five times our strength, you can drop this fort. If we don't get surrounded by all that force, we won't fall. "

Still, it won't fall right away, and there must be a lot of damage to the enemy. But there's nowhere like a fort that doesn't fall if it's overwhelmed by numbers.

"There's nothing you can't drop if you can't. But when I do that, I can't ignore my own army's wear and tear. Are you saying that? But with reinforcements from the Kingdom of Madenium..."

"I think it's possible enough. But would you do it? Think of the next battle, Siege Battle is the pinnacle of the instrument."

If you're simply after the Silver Mountain of the Kingdom of Cardina, you'll have that too. But after calming down the Cardina kingdom, I have to hesitate a little if I were to attack the Krabble kingdom.

"The Union of the Three Kingdoms and the Kingdom of Cardina, and you're saying that we're even?

"We don't have that much power. But the people of the three countries won't know our true strength. That's all I destroyed the fort at the foot. You think we did this, but you see how we judge that force."

Mr. Zairas and Mr. Torrell started laughing face-to-face at my words.

"Hahahaha......, not at all. If it were to destroy all that, it would become a battalion size."

"What about the battalion? You would think that we used some kind of strategy, but it doesn't say in any book that we would do anything about it."

"It's not like that. We Dwarves tell similar stories. He told me to watch out for fire in the mines. Now the lights in the mine use light spheres, but I used to use lamps. They say that when you wrath the mountain gods, the pits are destroyed in an instant."

Mr. Rieddus' story must really be a dust explosion. I guess I learned from experience that it was due to fire. Light spheres don't have heat, and they don't burn flammable materials, so they must be the mainstay of mines today.

Then that's what Silver Mountain is going to say.

"But it's about the Dwarves. I've never seen a book in the royal palace containing stories about other races."

"If you're sick or weak, you won't be traveling around the country to broadly increase your visibility. I still don't think you know the secret to that destruction."

Mr. Torrell and the others are positive. Am I just worried?

Nevertheless, we were able to agree on how things were going for a while. Still, on the night of the Kingdom of Cardina, a platoon of bandits will remain active.
