Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

Overnight, leading up to the golden lowlands, part 3

I waited for the deepening of the night and then crept alone to the other camp, which is at a reasonable distance from the one I dropped yesterday.

If you have reached the wall of the camp, you can stake out the wall and look for signs of the ...... area, and if you are certain that there is no problem in this area, you can reach out for a wooden stake and climb up, relying on the ropes that bind the stake and the indentations and the wooden stakes.

If you're careful not to let the stake pierce your body, and you've climbed over to the other side, you can ...... slowly descend and aim at the sentry standing by the ...... bonfire.

I'm sure they don't expect the enemy to come, they yawned loudly or stood up and meditated without looking around, even though they are ...... watchmen, they just stood there.

I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get the most out of this article.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

I'm not going to be the only one who can do that.

It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of people who are willing to pay for it.

The result of that, it seems, is that there's no ...... work to be done.

I'm sure there are a lot of things that could be done during wartime, such as training and reinforcements in the war zone, if there is nothing to do.

I've been thinking about ...... and while thinking about that, I'm going to beat up and tie up every single one of the remaining guards.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends and family.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time with the help of your friends and family.

The next day.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information about the way to get the most out of your new business.

It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to find a way to get the best out of it.

There are three participants in the discussion: myself, the head of the settlement, Klaus, and three volunteers who have known each other for a long time.

Joe, a former carpenter, Lorca, a former mason, and Liyan, a former blacksmith.

Together with Klaus, the Royal Guard, they are dependable companions who can lend me wisdom that I don't have.

It's a good thing that you have a good idea of what you're going to get when you go to work. ...... The northern fort is well-trained and well-equipped with turrets and walkways above the walls, so it's not going to be ...... easy.

If there are any other good moves, we should try that one.

...... Without seeing it in person, I can't say for sure, but from what I've heard, destroying the walls and the fort itself will also be difficult this time around.

I'm not sure if creating a siege weapon would help, but ...... would require a fair amount of materials and time to do so.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on some of the best weapons, armor, and food that you've got in the southern camp, and with the overwhelming difference in numbers, it's possible to attack by force.

If it were to be a forceful attack, there would be a certain amount of damage, but ......

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work for you.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends and family.

I'm sure they don't want to go head-to-head with you, so I'm sure they'll accept your offer.

One battle with me and the enemy general.

If I win, you will surrender the fort; if I lose, we will admit defeat and surrender the prisoners, food and weapons we have gained in the southern camp and withdraw from that settlement as well.

If you apply under such conditions, the other side of the force of about 50 people would be happy to cross over to you. ......

If you are called a fierce general, you might be able to do it, but if you are a wise general, it might be difficult.

From what I've heard, he's cautious because he doesn't have confidence in his own abilities, so I don't think he's willing to go toe-to-toe with any conditions.

Klaus replied to my thoughts by saying so ...... and pondering a bit before returning the words.

The first thing to do is to drop the fierce general's stronghold in single combat, or if he doesn't respond, to attack him by force, and then we should all surround the other stronghold.

If you're unsure and cautious, you don't want a decisive battle at the expense of each other. ...... If you threaten them a little, they might surrender.

...... We should all raise our voices at night and not sleep in the fort, or assemble siege weapons from a visible position. ...... We should try a lot of things like that, and if that doesn't work, then we'll just have to go in force there too.

And then Klaus nodded to me and ...... Joe, Lorca, and Liyan nodded to me and ...... the head of the settlement, who had been listening quietly for a long time, nodded, albeit somewhat tossingly, to me.

After leaving 100 soldiers each to Joe, Lorca, and Riyan, who will guard the ...... captured soldiers and dismantle the conquered position, Klaus and I led the remaining 500 soldiers to the fort where the man known as the Fierce General is located.

The fort there is said to be built of quarried stone and is equipped with a large Noh on top of the ramparts, perhaps with the intention of fighting the ...... monster.

And they are directed to the north side where the monsters come from. ...... We are heading to the south side of the fort.

If the NNJ has moved to the south to intercept us, it would be troublesome. ...... North of the settlement, up a gentle slope, the look of the fort that came into view at the top of a gentle slope suggests that it has not been moved or anything of the sort.

On the contrary, they don't seem to have any guards, and they don't seem to be prepared to intercept us. ...... Are they not aware that we are approaching and have entered that settlement?

...... Well, whether or not the enemy is aware of us or not, it doesn't change what we're going to do, and I'm going to be in the south from the fort, at a distance where the arrows won't be able to reach me, because I've made a parchment of a one-on-one battle. ...... I was going to deliver it myself, but Klaus stopped me and went to deliver it to the fort for me, holding up the spear flag as a sign of a messenger.

If that's the way Klaus is attacked, it would be an instant war, and a forceful attack to save Klaus. ...... That's not the case, and the parchment ends up in the hands of the fort's soldiers without a problem.

A short while later, the soldier who received the parchment brings a reply letter and passes it to Klaus ...... and Klaus comes back with it in hand.

"I'm sorry to make you do something dangerous.

When I say so to Klaus, who has returned safely, ...... Klaus smiles and says, "It's nothing like this," and hands me the letter he brought ...... with him.

Quick confirmation, open the letter and check inside: ...... and there it is

"'If you take the one more condition we give you, I'm willing to take a fight to the bitter end.

And that was written in a rather roundabout way.

The condition is that if I lose, I must also give you my battle-axe. ...... I managed to decipher the illegible scribble, and was disappointed that I had to accept the condition, but I was willing to accept it. Lift the axe and swing it wide to be visible from the fort and draw a ...... circle to indicate approval.

Then there was movement inside the fort ...... and after a short time the gates were opened and a large man on horseback and a group of heavily armed soldiers emerged ...... and formed a line side-by-side to face us in an imposing manner.

"Hmmm ...... I was wary of leaving the fort and letting the numbers take me by surprise, but I guess even barbarians have that level of decorum!

As soon as he finished laying out his position, he came out alone and came forward to tell me that ...... is a big man.

As I moved forward with the battle-axe in hand to respond to it, I wondered what to say before going to ...... I didn't really know what to say in a situation like this, so I just said, "Ah! And just return.

Then the big man gets off his horse's back, grabs the large sword that was ...... hooked to the horse's saddle and begins to slowly pull it out of its large sheath.

What is the intention of the ornaments, he wears an iron helmet that looks like a horse's mane with several spikes, covering his whole face, and the iron armor that covers his whole body is a similar costume.

The surface of the armor is intricately patterned with thorns here and there. ...... Don't tell me you're going to stab your enemy with those thorns?

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends and family. ...... The iron armor has a large red cloak attached to its shoulders and it's swaying in the wind, which is not very helpful.

I'm not sure if they're going to be able to get it right or not.

I'm not going to be the only one who has been in the market for a long time.

It just so happens that the lion-face-like design of the battle axe is smashed into the big man's side.

''Goooooooooooooh!

The man who received the blow was blown away with such a voice, rolling ...... the ground with a rumble and falling down limp as it was.

...... huh?

I couldn't help but raise my voice at that.

It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

I'm sure this isn't the end of the story, so I approached the man with a battle axe at the ready, but the ...... man showed no movement at all.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time and energy to get the most out of it. I'm not going to be able to get the same kind of face as the one on the ...... and it looks like I've lost my mind.

...... And so the bout between me and the man known as the fierce general was settled in a way that was too close to call, too close to be true.
