Bandit, Be Ambitious! To Accomplish Kingdom Revival!

Nearly noon the following day, a knight came to the preaching from Mr. Zairas's troops.

Standing in front of me over the table, I start reporting the note with one hand.

"Report. At dusk yesterday a horseback squad from the Kingdom of Carmesia assaulted the western side of the invading forces of Yorel in the Kingdom of Warham. I assume the troop size is two battalions. At the behest of Lord Zairas, three reconnaissance units were released north and south. In that report………"

After all, it looks like we split into two parts and carried out a raid.

Apparently there was a report that the government was on fire. Some of them must have broken through the gates of the government and slipped inside. Quite a few citizens must have been slaughtered......

It looks like it pulled off at the same time as dawn, but this seems to be the same for the troops that attacked the western side of the invading forces.

I guess we'll rest slowly during the day and strike again in the evening.

"Thank you. Tell Lord Zaylus. Attacks from this location should be limited to attacks on the eastern side only during the day. That's it."

When the knight gracefully thanked the knight, he left the command post.

Look at the map and guess what's coming.

After all, the plan of the Kingdom of Warham has been frustrated. At a time when the Kingdom of Carmesia has intervened, it is no longer hopeless.

Then you have to think about retreating, but how many troops can you retreat?

The distance from the front line to the political office is approximately two days with the feet of light infantry.

If you fall apart and escape, you will be hunted easily.

What would I do?

Considering measures to stop the horseback riding squad's legs, it will probably pull out the troops in several parts.

Still, I wonder if nearly half of them will be defeated?

The ravages of fleeing soldiers are what the cavalry does best.

Then you'll have to let Lady and the others pull up.

They're flying around, but it doesn't necessarily mean they won't get caught up in it.

Call in the conscripts and tell Mr. Lady to pull them up.

There will be no loopholes with this. Light the pipe and check the pawn on the map again.

Speaking of which, you didn't inform the King's Capital about the intervention of the Kingdom of Carmesia.

If you hurry to make a note of the situation, you will hand it to your conscript and tell him.

As it stands, the Kings will be relieved to write that there is no need for new reinforcements.

That said, it's a problem in the future.

We'll have to think about what to do with the new border protection…….

The basics are enough for an empty moat and a dirt base.

With the moat about 3m across and 1.5m deep, the earth base finishes the west side at right angles. The stone walls are good, but sun-dried bricks are enough if you can't. You can change it to stone walls one by one.

It would be possible to garrison on a platoon size if a simple garrison was built, with a soil base of 3 m high and an observation deck for every 3 km distance. A squadron-sized garrison behind several watchtowers should be able to cope with each other.

It's going to be a new Great Wall, but it's much smaller. It would be enough to let the soldiers make it on the current dispatch scale. In the meantime, the current border factor should be effectively usable.

"Will you call the commander of the fort?

When I tell my soldiers, I make my own coffee and decide to wait.

The commander who came immediately was a middle-aged man who led a battalion of light infantry. The young man next door seems to be a deputy.

"Can I help you?

The name is the same commander, but I think I'll be better off.

The military seems to be loud in position, so it seems that my instructions apply to the other troops deployed around here.

"We need to take early action against the horseback riding squads in the Kingdom of Carmesia. It's not a bit of a hassle, but is it possible to make such a dirt base?

Expanding the note I drew earlier in front of the two of them, I'm looking at it jiggly.

"That's a pretty sturdy dirt base,"

"If the Kingdom of Carmesia is the same nation as the horseback riding nation, this is still unforgivable"

"That much?

"It's a far eastern country where I lived, but the horrors of the horseback riding people are told. They surrounded it with this Great Wall more than twice the height of the kingdom. Still, they've allowed us to break in."

I'm surprised at what I'm saying.

I guess I still thought it was an excessive dirt base. I think this would be a good place because the territory of the Old God Empire would in some ways be a buffer zone that separates Torresti from the Kingdom of Carmesia, but if we were directly bordering the territory, we would want to build a bigger earth base.

"Length is the problem, but it will be possible in the long term given the size of the troops to be sent to the border zone. How long have you been thinking about?

"I've never been over it early. So far it will be a battle with the Royal War Army, but it will soon be driven to the perimeter of the government. First on the west side, and once it's done, build a similar earth base to the north. It would be good to remain existing about Yolem. I feel safe while I have a clandestine policy."

The commander of the fort is blindfolded with his deputy.

Is it still difficult to make it?

"I'll start working on it tomorrow. Be the first to build north of the fort and go. There will be plenty of room for manoeuvre infantry in the south."

That's all he told me, and he left the command post with a note I spread out.

Sure, it can be a hassle to make.

But that's all we can do to prepare for the west, so I guess we can feel safe as the kingdom of Torresti.

Even so, doesn't it take more than three years to complete? In the meantime, we have to put the mobile infantry on the western defense.

As I wrote to King Torresti, I was about to ask for the support of a new engineering unit, and a telecommuter came into the command post.

Is it true that the Carmesian Horse Riders attacked us?

Staring at the telecommuter holding his breath, he began reporting out loud.

"Report. Your Majesty the Queen of Sylvania has given birth to a man safely!

"Is that true!

I accidentally kicked the chair and stood up.

"You're safe with both mother and child, aren't you?

"Supposedly it was cheap production in the stretch. And he wants you to think of your name..."

"Then tell him 'congratulations'. 'This one's going to take a little longer,' I want you to put in the stretch. I'd like to call it" Teagel. "

"Dear 'Teagel', right? Copy that."

I was taking notes, so I'll be fine. Mistakes in the name are a hassle to correct later.

But now it's like the next king has decided. As soon as you're ready, you're going to be able to hide out.

I made the soldiers prepare wine, toast to the eldest son I had yet to see, and decided to celebrate alone.

You want to go home to Sylvania by next spring.

The next day, Mr. Lady showed up at the command post.

Even to Mr. Lady, you didn't seem to understand the movement of the Carmesian army.

"All my troops are safe. It hasn't been that long since, so there's not that much new information."

What he told me about the Warham kingdom's wear and tear.

Of the seven battalions of Yolem invasion troops, three battalions were already depleted, apparently.

We're attacking too, but the number of enemies we've defeated won't reach three squadrons. Are you saying that Yolem's defense will drain his power by so long?

If so, it seems likely that the invading forces will be retreating towards the government by now.

Naturally, the Carmesian army must be pruning from the rear, but two battalions will be able to reach the government. Consolidate your defense and send in the remnants of the Kingdom of Libram and you will be able to stop the Carmesian horseback squad. It also feels like it could reduce its power even more by then......

"Soldiers, pass it on to the whole army." The Carmesian horseback squad could push over. Consolidate the border and respond with arrows when you strike. Don't get on the enemy's invitation and consolidate your border defenses. '"

Seeing the soldiers pull out of the command post, Mr. Lady stares at me.

"Do you think they're coming?

"When you don't know, you can rest assured if you think about it for the worse. He'll show up, but I don't think he's attacking us."

That said, I'm not sure. He's the one who needs to be ready.

"Maybe a messenger will come."

When I say messenger, is that it? Indeed, if you surrender immediately, you will be treated as a nation, and if you resist for one day, you will resist for 20% of the inhabitants, half in two days, or three days, you will have asked someone to eradicate it.

"You think there's room for negotiation?

"I don't know what you're thinking, but the Kingdom of Carmesia will talk to us on an equal footing with the Cats."

Maybe that means you're at a glance at cat hunting, huh?

If so, what's the good about us? If they are equal or superior to ourselves, they will give us a glimpse...

"You don't have to worry too much about it. It's a fairly discerning species."

Mr. Lady says so and smiles as he looks at me.

Is it just a little different?

Thanks, I have a strong image of Zingiscan. If Mr. Lady's right, I guess we don't even have to hurry up and reinforce the dirt base.
