Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

After staying overnight in the village, resting well, taking care of the horses, and taking care of the equipment, we left before noon the next day, and stood on a small hill where we could see the enemy's fortress with the telephoto, which Gerant had guided us.

The hill was a place where Eldan was preparing to be a base for when he had to say goodbye, and there were hidden wells and so on... moreover, trees with nuts in each season were planted at equal intervals, as if they were fields, and there was no more place to get water and a little food.

When the position was finished, I asked Gerant and Serhiy to reconnect.... Aima and Mont put together the information they got from the reconnaissance... and in the evening, I, Aima, Mont, Joe, Lorca, and Ryan gathered in a private yurt built in the middle of the position for an operation meeting.

Looking at the wooden box with the luggage on the desk, we put a few sheets of paper with information on it, and we sat around it... Aima sat down on the desk holding the ink pot.

Soon after the meeting began, some of the strategies devised by Aima... such as weakening the enemy, encouraging them to flee, pulling them out, and unexpectedly striking them from the wrong direction... I and Joe were convinced that we should go with it, but Monto said, "Wait."

"There's no problem with Ayma-chan's plan, it's not a problem, it's probably effective, and I'm not going to make a fool of myself, but... listen to me."

Perhaps the enemy was worse than Diaz, a bottomless idiot.

Whether such a stupid opponent needs such a solution is a little more subtle... there seems to be a way to finish it even easier and faster. "

"... what is the basis for asserting that the enemy is an idiot?"

When Aima returns, Monty nods and returns his words, looking in the direction of the enemy's fort.

"As a result of the scouting by the Sergei and the others, the number of enemies was around 500, but pushing 500 people into a fortress of that size was tough."

Perhaps the enemy used to move most of them around the fort in order to procure food and supplies... I think there were only 100 or 200 of them in the fort.

I don't know why they're all hanging out in the fort because they recognize us.

If Diaz were to spread his forces here and plunder, he would have been attacked and destroyed.

I hate that, and I don't want to lose the majority of my troops, so I think I'm pulling back... but at this point, it's a stupid thing to do.

The number is 30, the enemy is 500, so if you recognize us, you can hit it out of the fort and crush it as many as you want.

At the moment you didn't do that, you were quite an idiot... and the enemy leader must know Diaz well. "

There was no objection to Mont's words, and everyone, including Aima, nodded...... Mont continued to speak when he saw them.

"I could have somehow predicted from around here that I had deliberately tricked Maabadal's name, but the enemy was provoking Diaz and trying to defeat Diaz who was riding the provocation... I guess that's the secret to the fortress or a trap."

I'm convinced that I can defeat Diaz... I'm convinced that I can't stay in that trap and leave the fort.

If you surround 30 with 500, you could win, but if you're dealing with Diaz, you could win 100 or 200 of 500... no, most of them.

Even the furthest soldier would know Diaz, which would be troublesome... I think a lot of people would run away on the day I told him to cut the front with Diaz.

They beat us in the rebellion, and that's not the end of it. We have to beat Lord Mahathi's army in the realm... I guess that's why they decided to pull back.

Then don't provoke Diaz from the beginning...... but Diaz won't do anything stupid like this. "

"Well... that's true.

I don't really know what you want to do anymore. "

Mont nodded with satisfaction at Aima's words as she stroked her chin with one hand, smiling happily... and continued to laugh.

"With such an idiot as the opponent, I think I can win with Ayma-chan's plan even if I can afford to, but it's going to take too long for Ayma-chan's plan... I don't think it's okay to let those people stop me."

Finish early, unlock the area... If you go around the surrounding villages and cities with the results, the morale of your allies will be greatly increased and the morale of your enemies will be greatly reduced.

At the same time, it would be much easier for Lord Mahathi and Zhu Ha to fight in the east by releasing some of their neighborhood enemies' forts.

... if Zhu Ha really took it seriously, this battle would have been over by now. According to Diaz, there is a way to block the underground waterway and cut off the water?

That said, I dare to spend my time like this, because I have something to aim for.

Maybe... I'm not going to kill as many enemies as I can, but I'm going to use as much as I can to make up for my losses as a slave prisoner...?

That bastard just tailored Diaz as a hero, and he's a man who doesn't really care about his position or honor, so he shouldn't think about making up for his mistakes...

... well, there's no information or evidence around here, it's my own fantasy, so you don't have to incorporate it into your strategy. "

"I see..."

I don't really understand Mr. Zhu Ha's thoughts, so what exactly is Mr. Mont's plan to end early? "

While we were blurring the conversation between Mont and Aima, Mont was in a good mood when asked by Aima...... Somehow, after looking at me, he asked Joe a question.

Joe, what's the best way to conquer the fort?

"... eh? Is that a frontal breakthrough with a broken castle hammer?"

"Oh, you know what I mean."

If you defeat the main gate with a castle hammer and have a chaotic battle in the fort, the number of people will be small, and we will have a chance to win.

Lorca, what's next when the Hammer of the Ruined Castle arrives and the enemy hits it? ”

"Ehh... you shoot arrows from the castle wall, sprinkle oil, set fire to it and destroy it... if he's a wheeled man, he hooks the hook at the tip of the rope, and some people pull the rope and overturn the broken castle basket."

"Oh, you know that, too."

Especially if you tip over the castle hammer, it will make it difficult to retrieve and move, and it will also be a small distraction to prevent the next castle hammer from arriving at the gate, so it can be said to be an effective method.

Arrows and oil don't mean iron roofs to prevent it.

So, Ryan... we already have a broken castle that can prevent arrows, oil, and hooks, but do you know what that means? "

In response to such a question, Ryan thought about it.

That's why we don't have any siege weaponry, much less a broken castle hammer... I don't know what we're talking about when we talk about having a broken castle hammer.

Ryan, who had often thought about it for a while, turned his eyes to my armor, which I had placed behind the yurt, and to the axe of battle... and then turned his eyes to me.

Then Aima, Joe, and Lorca looked at me in the same way... and finally Mont continued to speak with an unpleasant smile as he looked at me.

"No matter how many times I knock on the iron gate, it won't wear down, and the arrows, oil, and hooks will bounce back. There's no need for anyone to carry them around. When it gets too bad, I'll come back at my own discretion... If I break through the gate, I'll just go inside and do a disorderly war technique."

After destroying the gate with this broken castle named Diaz, Serchi attacked and obstructed the archers on the castle wall. He pierced the gap and charged at the entire army. After that, he could fight while paying attention to the difference in numbers in the fort.

As for the trap for Diaz, I will take measures by attaching Ayma-chan to Diaz. With her knowledge and ears, Ayma-chan will see through the trap and tell Diaz.

Diaz, follow Miss Ayma's instructions and never run rampant.

Joe, Lorca, and Ryan follow their subordinates and the armed Masti clan to capture the fort, rely on the Masti clan's ears and nose to make decisions on marching and retreating, and thoroughly communicate with each other by howling.

I'm not as good at strange things as Zhu Ha and Aima-chan, but I'm good at breaking through the front and siege battles, so I know how to deal with them when I have to... I'll ask Goldia and the others to escort me and wait near the fort and give me instructions through howling.

Well, if I had a day tomorrow, I'd be able to settle for the most part. "

Mont's words made me want to complain a lot, but before that, Aima said, "Well then," and Joe and the others said the same words... so the meeting ended in disruption.

I don't mind breaking through the front and destroying the gate, but I think it won't stop just treating the broken castle hammer, but that doesn't make sense, and after that, we'll still go with the broken castle hammer tomorrow, so that conversation will be exchanged between everyone... the next day.

Well-armed, we approach the side of the fort... at a distance beyond the reach of the arrows, and stand by for a long time.

That's how I looked at the fort, and I looked at the banner with a pattern that could not be seen on the side of the fort and the evil maor that was decorating the fort... I checked how the opponent was coming out and whether he was willing to come out into the field... I looked at the opponent who showed no movement at all, and I was convinced that Mont's prediction was correct.

With only 30 enemies in sight and no movement, there's no doubt you're planning something at least.

... then riding on Bayers, I raised my battle axe and said, "Ohhhh!!" And then I raised my voice.

Soon, Joe, Lorca, and Ryan followed suit... and the horseman Mont waved the banner of Mare's sideways crest.

As we did so, the enemy soldiers standing on the corridor above the castle wall in a square and boneless fortress, like a red stone construction that had remodeled the team business lodge they had stayed in before, began to move in a hurry.

"Oh, this is a good time!" The broken castle hammer is gone!! "

Looking at that, Mont, who stroked the head of the Musty clan that sat in front of him, raised his voice, and I dropped my shoulder and got off Bayers. I deposited the reins with Eli... and ran straight to the enemy's fort with a single-axe.

Then the enemy soldiers in the corridor threw their bows and arrows at me... all the bows and arrows flying straight underneath me were pulled back by the power of armor.

As if there were an invisible wall, an invisible hand washed out the arrows, and one after another… I arrived at the gates of the enemy fort… at the large iron doors as chaos spreads among the enemy soldiers in the corridor.

In that case, I swung up the battle axe I had grabbed with both hands... I was prepared to hit the battle axe as many times as I could until this door broke, and I swung down the battle axe with all my strength to hit the opening blow.
