Civilization Game

Two days later.

"Chief, I've arrived at the Underhaim."

According to the deputy, Arugest's commander, Bayan, nods. He boasts the largest body and weight of any one-armed warrior in Aruges. Dark grey hair, a mohican style with scalp flanks, revealing the muscles of the upper torso as other warriors, and numerous wounds on the body were covered with colorful tattoos.

"Report the scouting results of the crew."

"Yes, first of all, as Captain Jamuka said, there don't seem to be many enemies."

Bayan nods satisfactorily.

"That's great."

"But we have a strange problem. The situation in the Underhaim is too suspicious."

"What are you talking about?"

"Underhaim has gates to the north and east. However, there were only a small number of soldiers guarding the wall at the northern gate, and the eastern gate was opened without at least any troops."

Bayan's eyebrows twitch.

"…… The gates are open? Is that possible? Underhaim is the capital of a reputable country. They know what that means."

"Ha, but it's true. And I left the gate open, but it wasn't a white flag or a document of surrender."

Bayan's eyes roll. I felt like I was trying to figure this out.

"Hmm... I see. Continue to report."

"Yes! And when I took a quick look inside the open gates, the streets were empty. There was no sound, no popularity."

"…… hmm."

Bayan folds his arms and worries.

"The North Gate says the troops are guarding it, so it doesn't look like the Abyss have abandoned the castle. But he didn't surrender. Then they're trying to lure us to the west gate."

"I agree with you, Chief! Maybe they set up ambushes in the city..."

He laughed.

"If it was a good ambush point, we'd already be on our way! If you make the battlefield your own city, the war will only do them more damage no matter how victorious you are, so why ambush the city with troops!"

"Well, I'm good at that... but I also have a device to the east, so I assume you left the gate open on purpose." I knew we should have left the west with the steamed ones and raided the North Gate... "

"Hahahaha!"

Bayan smiles loudly and glares at the deputy with fierce eyes.

"Are you really the warrior of us versus Aruges?"

"Yes? Yes! Yes, it is! Chief!"

"Don't take this the wrong way, warrior! This is their provocation. If you can get us in, come in. It's a sneaky taunt. If we attack the North Gate in terror at the open gates, we will play with the laughingstock of the continent! What's the point of winning in such a way? I will not be able to look the captain in the face with shame while preaching the victory."

"Ha, but why go in when you know it's a trap?"

"I'm fine."

Bayan opens his teeth and smiles.

"I'm not going in there without thinking. According to the chancellor, the rest of the Underhaim are a mess. Most people don't even have proper military training. If they're preparing for an ambush, what's the point? It's not a level car that can turn a battle into a good geographical condition!"

He pulls out one of his axes, which is filled with waist, lightly and lifts it overhead.

"There's no need to be swayed by their cunning schemes! The battlefield is won only by stronger warriors. That is the only truth of the battlefield! We believe in our power, in the blood we have shed! Advance to the battalion!"

"Waaaahhhh!"

2500 warriors descend the hill like a tide. Beyond their gaze, you see the walls of the Underhaim.

*

Kugu, Kuku, Kuku!

Powerful soldiers cling to the gates of the city, allowing the army to pass through completely. You do not fly an arrow while doing this.

It was literally bloodless.

The deceitful Bayan army stepped into the castle.

"…… this."

But what lay open before their eyes was a desolate, empty street that remained silent. An empty space with no human popularity at all. It was different from the development they were thinking about.

"... Which way is the royal palace?"

A question from Bayan was answered by Kulan, one of his deputies, acting as chief of staff. Unlike the rest of the warriors, he was exquisitely shrouded and full of hair.

"That way, chief. It's not far from here."

When I looked at where Kulan was pointing, I saw a large architecture. Bayan nods and shouts at the soldiers.

"There's a good chance they're on ambush! Stay in line and watch your back to the royal palace!"

The Bayan troops took a careful step. The gray city, which had no popularity whatsoever, had a eerie atmosphere, rather amplifying this heterogeneous static tension. In the Underhaim, only the soil winds that blow often greet them.

"... Hehe."

As he went deeper into the city, Bayan frowned, covering his eyes with his arms. It was strong against the brief sandstorm. It was obstructing my vision. Besides, this level of sand breeze in the middle of the city... I remembered two words that were "no way" in Bayan's head.

"This sandstorm is not natural!"

He shouts in a quick voice.

"… someone must be deliberately causing it. All forces, speed up your advance! We're rushing through here and into the royal palace!"

If you've been set up anyway, Bayan thinks the answer is to break through quickly. The soldier's pace increases and becomes rapidly flaccid.

That was when they reached the middle of the commercial district through a sandstorm.

"Shhh! Shhh!"

"Huff!"

"Help me!"

The screams of the soldiers echo through the sandstorm.

"Hawk, ambush!"

"Beware of the raid!"

It was a situation that still remained in the sandstorm. It was not so intense that I couldn't open my eyes, but the distance was limited by the dust that I could only hear my colleagues scream.

Kuku Kuku Kung!

This time, the whole house leans in with a loud noise, and the soldiers begin to fall down. After piercing the dirt and collapsing, the roads are heavily packed with troops. There are wounded everywhere. Painful screams echo out.

That's not the end of it. Ambushers who were ambushing around the commercial district began to move. Together, they turn the turban on their faces to block the sand and appear, striking and falling, harassing the Arogetsu soldiers.

"Don't be deceived by their tricks! Forward march!"

Bayan's aides provoked him around, but his ambush techniques became more and more vicious.

In particular, the technique of tying up a kidnapped casualty in chains and making it painful and luring it to other tribesmen was an unbearable insult to the warriors who valued the warrior's honor above all else. They even took off the clothes of the dying wounded and made them naked and hung them on the building as if to tie them to a rope.

"Ugh, ahhhh! D, help!"

Once again, a colleague falls into the street with a noose around his neck. A blasphemy appeared around me. No matter how different the cultures were between the countries, as long as they were warriors in the war, they deserved the opportunity to swing their weapons. These were things they could not understand with their heads. Eventually, an impatient warrior picks up his axe and walks out loud.

"Hey, hey! Where are you going? I'm on the march right now..."

"My brother has been taken."

He turns his head and says,

"Saving my tribesmen is more important than following someone else's chief's orders! White eagles, follow me!"

Arogenes' armies were formed by warriors of great and small tribes. Bayan, a commander, was also the chief of a man commissioned by Jamuka, and they were more precious to the comfort and revenge of the tribesmen who had frozen like brothers in blood than the command of other chiefs.

As a result, several chieftains begin to vent out of control and pursue the attackers.

"Oops, I got the wrong one."

The right arm of Phoenix, running down the alley, glances back and sticks out his tongue. The White Eagle chiefs lead the tribesmen directly after him.

"Stop right there!"

"Brother's vengeance!"

The tribesmen are closing in on you. Chili runs away and throws a pile of rubbish and junk around her. Thanks to you, only the chieftain who is at the forefront has become amused. Chili turns her back as if she thought it was enough. The tribesmen stopped following.

"The Neighbors! Taking the lives of their brothers for their vile crimes! I will take back the honor of my brother who killed you and died unfairly!"

"Isn't it wrong for a man to die carelessly in a war?"

Chili snaps her fingers.

"I'll give it a shot. Get that banana peel off your head."

The chieftain rushes through the banana peel.

"I'll chew you to shreds!"

Whoosh! An axe with the power of a flying headache swings in succession. Chili leans back or leans in close, avoiding the attack with her back against the wall.

"Hehe, the space is too small! '

The chief bites his lip. I brought a bunch of Tribes, but there was only one person who could make it to the front. At that moment, the axe's movement stops. The axe you were about to swing is stuck in the wall.

"As expected, weapons are small and fast."

Chili pulls out her dagger and swings it. The chieftain dodges the arm with a swift reaction, but the blood flows quickly.

"You vile bastard!"

"Win a fight like that."

The chieftain shouts in fury as he tries to swing the axe with his remaining hand, and Chili pops the envelope out of his arms. Bam! The flour bursts out and sticks to the chief's face.

"Khh! Khh!"

Chili runs straight up and puts a dagger in the chief's neck. He lets out a cold hiss of pain, and then falls to the ground, coughing.

"You coward!"

"Hehe, this is a back-alley fight."

Chili flicked her finger. Then the window opens up over the wall, and the members of the group start pouring out bows, wind guns, and other ranged weapons such as junk.

The soldiers of Aruges fall down, simply exposed to an overhead attack. It was a narrow alley, so there was no room to avoid it. Finally, one of the tribesmen who thought about it shouted.

"Oh, shit! Run away!"

They turn their backs and try to get out of the alley, but suddenly three members of the group show up and block the way.

"Uh, after when?"

As they watched the panic, the members of the group teased.

"Vengeance is important to your colleagues, of course, but haven't you thought about kicking a garbage can in the back alley once? How naive is that? Barbarian."

Now there are a few more members of the group on Chile's side. Chili shouted.

"There's no time. Hit it!"

It was only a matter of time before the stranded armies of Aruges were exterminated. After the process was complete, Chili ordered the next mannequin operation.

In a large alleyway passing by the forces of Aruges, narrow alleyways leading to dwellings on both sides, where numerous gangsters are lurking. This was happening in almost every alley. Even though they were not fully trained, they were taking down Arogenes' soldiers as easily as they were in the back alley of the home ground.
