A few more days have passed since Casar's garrison in the Underhaim, and the problems have begun to unfold.

It didn't rain.

This was a matter that could never be taken lightly. Now in the Underheim, there was no right way to get water other than rain. It was said to have dried up nearby, emptied the food warehouse when Lord Underhaim left, and at the same time the wells around the area were damaged to the point that it was impossible to recover.

The Supply Managers said they would run out of drinking water.

‘... This is what really bothers me. ’

Arc decides to take the Underheim, and comes in with a full load of food near the Red Keep and the territory. The most dangerous thing when fighting in enemy territory is the shortage of food caused by the blockade of supply lines. An arc of impeccable character brought enough food to feed even the 10,000 troops.

But the problem was in the unexpected.

Usually, when the military is organizing troop troops, they load their wagons with food, not carrying hundreds of thousands of canisters of heavy water per day. The water was everywhere on the continent, and it was a resource that could be saved. Once it rains, you can have enough water to last a few days. You can go to a stream or lake around you.

But it hasn't rained long enough since Arc took the Underhand. The territories of Abyss were not famous for their sourdough. Although it rained less than the average of the continents, it was known to rain. However, even when it rained, it became a wasteland because of the geological properties of water. That's why Caesar's side has always had the same cavalry when dealing with Abyss.

After Casar's garrison, there was not a drop of rain. Only the hot sun came down, and the sandwinds were constantly blowing.

Is this Lord's strategy? Arc soon wavered his head, doubting for a moment. It was hard to find a way to target only the drinking water shortage. It didn't make sense that there was no place to look for water in this big city, and even if it rained, the strategy became a foam. Arc thought it was a matter of territorial operations.

But first, I decided to prepare a contingency plan. Before the battle, Arc wanted to avoid getting caught because of the unnecessary variables.

“Prepare the supplies and water for the Underhaim. ”

Arc's instructions were to bring food and water from all lands to the Underhaim. The Casar army, which was stationed in mainland Casar and the territories of relatively nearby Aland, Opectus, Alveheim and Genozerg, has assembled troops from each territory to send to the Underhaim.

News of simultaneous mass gathering in each territory was quickly sent to Lord.

“... Well, that's what it looks like, huh? If it was the arc, he would have figured out what the problem was. ”

Arc's strength is to create an environment in which he can play and invite his opponent onstage to fight. And if the stage flattened by the arc becomes a battlefield, the arc is virtually invincible. I have won a somewhat slow but flawless victory with a thorough and thorough strategy.

‘… someone like me will soon fall out. ’

So the road was not to fight on the arc's stage, but to pull the arc together and take advantage of the messy fight.

At the beginning of the war, it was drawn by the arc as intended, but Lord placed a river that led to the 'exchange of waters’ to make it what it is today. With this, Lord was able to clearly define the strands of strategy.

‘There's only one thing I have to do. Destroying everything that arc is trying to do, and dragging it into battle to prevent it from exerting its capabilities. ’

“… Your Majesty! What are we gonna do? ”

Anylox, who was on the phone with the communications lens, asked for instructions and Lord opened his mouth.

“Let's use them. ”

A few days later, a march of troops from each territory began to move into the Underhaim, as Arc had instructed. At the same time, the Road's trap is triggered.

“The Mercenary army has attacked the merchant guild from Alveheim! Employer Unknown! ”

“There are too many bandits in the middle! And the Higma Bandits! Requesting backup!”

“The grain reserve in the territory of Aland is being burned by foreign bandits! ”

“All the soldiers sent to the Neutral Merchant Guild plundered in the middle...! ”

News of troops being attacked simultaneously has spread to Casar's advance. The armies loyal to Abyss began blocking the incoming forces from across the continent to the Underhaim.

Their identity was primarily led by the clans of the Underhaim.

Menelaus' Mercenary Guild.

Zopockclan.

The Abyss Thief Association.

Higma Bandits.

The Dead Research Society.

Dark Elf Alliance, the Sword of Heine.

They were all members of the Abyss Parliament, and the dark forces that were influencing the entire continent with Abyss' growth. Lord has ordered the clans to stay out of sight instead of guarding the Underhaim. And after arc captured the Underhaim, he forced an army of soldiers to march on it.

In addition, the 'Black Wing’ and ‘Smuggler Association' which procured funding for Underhaim pressured neutral merchants in advance to prevent resources from going to the Underhaim. After the destruction of United, they were able to make a voice beyond the black market, even in the world of ordinary merchants.

And among these clans, the most powerful force is no different.

“Crimson red! Kill him! Kill them all!”

It was the Ska Pacino and the Mafia that were waiting to sharpen their swords for this moment. Ska Pacino was a full-scale army of Abyss soldiers with 2,000 regular soldiers. They traveled mainly through the territories of Opectus and western Aland, forcefully defeating Casar's regular forces and looting food.

‘…… Hmm, yes. You were out there, weren't you? Lord.’

Arc, who heard the report, is deeply troubled. Since 2,000 of the enemy's regular troops, as well as the rest of the armed forces, are rampaging like crazy in the occupied territory, a few hundred troop escorts were unavailable. Arc has also decided to send an army to deal with it.

“Lily, will you lead the army? ”

Arc says so, but the answer doesn't come back and I see Lily's face. She bites her lip tightly and stares at the arc with tears.

“…… Are you sending me away again? ”

I don't know why, but it was a resentful nuance.

I knew the nature of her not wanting to fall away from her, but I had never had such a violent reaction. The bewildered arc calms her and glances at the other pretenders.

“I'll leave this to Lord Gawain. Lead the fleet of 2,000 troops, wipe out the Ska Pacino army, and then reclaim the supply lines. ”

“Yes.”

Gawain gets up and disappears from the conference room. It felt particularly cold. I knew I was being a little hard on myself, but I wasn't that teasing. Arch doesn't know why, though strange currents were flowing among the gods. I didn't think of anything else, so I thought I'd become sensitive because I was at war.

While you're stationed in the Underhaim, gold is gradually growing in the strong Ark's camp.

*

A few more days passed. Arc is suffering from a headache. The army of Abyss hid all over the place and blocked it before it even got near the Underhaim, so it was not a good idea to send a Savior to meet them from the Underhaim.

‘…… The war has already begun. ’

Arc has mapped the area where the troops have been attacked. Then a circle was drawn with a center underfoot point. It seemed like they were surrounding this place from afar.

Moreover, they were not stationed in one place, but they were still on the move, so it was difficult to send troops to subdue them. When they met the regular army, the horns scattered and disappeared. Arc sent the Gawain army, but Scar Pacino has already left his post and returned with no income.

‘I can't wait for it to rain like this. ’

Arc decides how to harvest the water from the Underhaim.

It turns out that the biggest means of obtaining drinking water in the Underhaim was ground water. Originally, there were hundreds of wells within the territory, providing clean groundwater. However, the well was irreparably damaged.

“If it's clear that the groundwater is flowing, we can make a well! ”

Now that Arc has instructed the maintenance supervisor to make a well, the supervisor has indicated an egg.

“When I saw the sign, there was groundwater deep in the ground. In order to dig a well, you have to break a hard bedrock halfway through, but it's not possible with Casar's technology to break a rock and dig a well there. ”

Arc frowns.

“…… No, why can't Casar be an Abyss? ”

“I'm sorry, but the Abyss didn't dig the well either. ”

“Then who? ”

“I heard from the villagers that the Moles were responsible for the wells among the Demibeast. If not for them, digging a well through the ground of the Underhaim in a short period of time is a bitch. ”

Arc looks to see if there are any mole Demibeasts in the camp, but he's nowhere to be found.

‘…… Lord must have taken it away. Now I'm stranded. ’

It was unlikely Lord would be subject to a civil capital penalty. They would have planned to reclaim the Underheim after the 'capital exchange’.

‘No way, but.... ’

Lord was about to wipe out 10,000 cassars stationed in the Underhaim. It's not a food shortage, it's a water shortage.
