Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

Day after day, to the Golden Lowlands Part 6

-----Juuha in the dark.

One night, in one place, the voices of the two men echoed.

One of them is Juuha, the other is a man wearing armor supplied to the Imperial Soldiers... The armored man seems to be reporting something to Juuha.

―――――――

"Hee, I see...

It was quite unexpected that things would be carried so conveniently.On top of that, I don't think he'll survive more than a murder...

It looks like it's going to be a lot easier, but... why isn't the world readable?

―――――――

"... no, you can't lose the time to escape anymore.

Run away, lurk somewhere... show your face when it's over, and I'll take care of the rest.

You've done enough work, and I'll get you what you want, whether it's money, house or field. "

―――――――

"... I don't think you're going to die on reckless orders from a reckless idiot.

I can't forgive you if you face me on the battlefield... I like to run away like this, or once I get back to the fort and get ready to run away... before it's too late. "

Zhuuuha, wearing a black cape, breathes as he wonders what happened to the man who was talking to Zhuuuha.

I don't suppose you didn't think that things were so close that you would be forced here to decide whether to lose your life or not.

Disturbed by trouble, the man who looked back at the fort many times alternately and managed to make a decision by doing so ran back to the fort that had been his residence and workplace until recently... disappearing into the darkness.

Juuha, who saw the man behind him, nodded satisfactorily and showed a small smile before... he raises several bonfires and sees the big fort showing its size and tenacity to the surroundings.

The number of campfires was high and the number of sentinels was low... From there, a noisy and pleasant voice rang as to whether he was having a banquet just before the battle... Zhuuha, who had been staring at such a big fort for a while, shook his head and then exhaled a small sigh, leaving the scene behind.

---Dias at a finished position after noon one day

A week later, a month after Juuha told me to finish it... the position was somehow in its proper shape.

We piled up the stone we borrowed from the enemy fort, put wood on top of it and turned it into a wall... holes or holes to stick out the spear were well made, and some barrels were assembled.

Not to mention the castle wall... but one step ahead of it, or a few steps ahead of it, the strength has been secured... perhaps the cavalry will be able to hold on even to the opponent.

Considering the time we were surrounded by collisions in front of us, we built a wall to surround the entire position… Only the front of the position is made of stone or standing with a muzzle, and the strength of the rest of the position is unforgettable.

In the first place, if you bypass your position and get attacked by the settlement behind you, you need to go to help, and at that point your position will be meaningless… but just in case.

... I just got word from Juuha in the morning that the enemy heavily armored cavalry has already entered the Great Fort... if they rest for a few days and heal their expedition fatigue, they will attack us.

According to Juuha's investigation, the number of cavalry is about 1,400, and there are about 800 infantry in the big fort… We're supposed to intercept it at 800.

That's right, 800.

It seems that the 400 people that Juuha brought with him are still doing some work and have not yet returned.

Even though the young people in the settlement are helping us… We can't count them as a force, 800 will be our full strength.

I was worried about how many opponents I could have with just 800... Juuha seemed to be moving a lot, and I made up my position... and then I felt like I had to trust everyone's power... Everyone, including Klaus, felt the same way, and everybody had a bright expression and was full of motivation... and my position was so full of vigour that I didn't think it was during the war.

It would have been good if the merchants had been carefree enough to buy a lot of seasonal fruit and good quality flour, and there seems to be no anxiety in terms of morale - so when I think about that, I hear a loud voice from the people who were watching over me.

"Hostile attack! Hostile attack!

"Infantry in front, cavalry behind!There are many!

"Perhaps it's all the power that Juuha has given me!

With that voice, we will begin to act immediately.

Those who were not wearing armor were wearing armor, evacuating the settlers and merchants, lowering their weapons to their hips and carrying them on their backs, and holding with their hands the great spear that they had made for the day.

If that's how you're ready, you'll be large enough to fit your longitudinal position... spread out in a line and hold your spear firmly so that the cavalry can attack whenever they want.

"... eh!?Ah, infantry, first the infantry came forward!

"The cavalry was walking slowly behind the infantry... oh, I thought you were going to stand by!

"Ah...! That flashy armor!I can see that weird bastard I was doing with Diaz before!

Here, the beard's weird armor!!

As we stand up, such a voice comes out of the muzzle... and I raise my voice so that I can't lose those voices.

"The opponent may be an infantry, but the cavalry will do the same!We will only use this position to penetrate the enemy with this spear!

Don't be afraid, just poke, poke, poke!

Don't be upset if your enemies come up with something!At that time, Juuha and the others will do something!!

The position is wide, and no matter how loud you raise your voice, you cannot reach every corner of it.

But still, everybody... my friends are trying hard to say my words, repeat them, and tell everybody... the shouting that responds to them comes from everywhere.

That's how we decided... to stick our spears out at the incoming enemy soldiers.

----A man who calls himself the Central Warrior of the Imperial Army.

Infantry! First the infantry!

The battle of the glorious Empire must be according to style and beauty!!First we hit each other with infantry, then we crush exhausted enemy soldiers with the winning cavalry!!

There's no other way!The details are fine, just move the infantry!!

The man who shouted so immediately waved the sword he had in his hand.

"I don't know what to do, I don't get hurt much, but I'm just as sick and crazy as they are!

Powerfully and eloquently demonstrate the might of the Empire, that's all!So both traitors and foes will bend their knees!!

I don't know what that is!I bumped into you right in front of you!Crush and crush!!That's what makes me proud to be an Empire soldier!!

I'm so glad we can do that... I don't know how much of a man's momentum stays.

The fool who suddenly came to cut down what he thought while leaving the great fortress from His Majesty... The guy who named himself the wisdom general just as good was cut off, and now he is the only one who can partition this place.

No one disturbs themselves, no one defies their own words.

Besides, I have the opportunity to crush my enemies... and if I do that, I'll get a huge deal...!

Due to the commotion that killed those idiots, some deserters have left... but the number is still up here, and if it's a battle on the flat ground, it makes sense that the larger number wins, and the infantry alone can't beat the cavalry... our victory has been decided before the battle begins.

Until now, I've had bad luck, bad circulation, and licked bitterness... but from now on, it's different. From now on, the spring of our world will start, and the man keeps raising his voice and swinging the sword he has.

As the advanced infantry arrived at the enemy's position, the sound of the battle echoed... shouting, screaming, and a voice that I didn't know anything about... The man who kept raising his voice to full strength, swinging his sword, and enjoying the pleasant fatigue was in a trance when the battle was over... The soldiers who came back from the front raised the voice of the report.

"Ah, the enemy's morale is high, the offensive is fierce, and we can't break through the position yet!

"The area has been reported to be muddy, and the Heavy Duty Cavalry Leader has advised us to avoid cavalry operations!

"The enemy seems to have a number of spears and we know that our decision-maker is a cavalry!

After receiving those reports, the man stopped moving… staring at the soldiers who had made the report.

His Majesty the Emperor and the General as determined by law… he was the man who suddenly killed two of his fellow generals… and the Commander in charge of their own destiny.

Saving the life of a man like that... when soldiers who are anxious to report inferiority are frightened and frightened... the man laughs and says,

"Thank you for your report!!

and mouth the words of labor.

When the soldiers, relieved by the unexpected words, exhale... the man takes a big breath, grips his fist with grip, hits the fist with the fist, then shook up his hands and raised his voice loudly enough to echo around the area.

"Lower your infantry!If the infantry is down, put the cavalry forward!!

When the cavalry's assault is decided, so will we, along with the retreating infantry!

Whether the area is muddy, cavalry countermeasures are in place or not, it's still battlefield logic for the cavalry to win!

For decades now... no, for hundreds of years, the Empire has won this battle!!

Even if you can't run without momentum, the robustness of the cavalry makes sense to crush the infantry with its horse-legged tread, and the spear prick from the horse!!

Cowards who ignore reason and try to avoid battle will be punished as rebels against His Majesty's will until the clan party!!!

With that voice, the soldiers who came to the report and the soldiers who were around began to move in a hurry.

The way men have done it so far, I think that they have killed other generals, but the words are indisputably true… That is the history of the Empire's wars, won in numbers, and it is very unlikely that they will defeat enemy soldiers who have even cavalry with low skill and morale.

If that's the case... the soldiers, the heavily armed cavalry captains... the heavily armed knights will start showing their moves for battle.

When the sunset began to set... countless horseshoe sounds echoed through the muddy wilderness battlefield.
