Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

Episode 28: Magical Battle

Robert Ferm. That is the real name of King Ferm.

Before his father, he said:

"Oh, Robert. I'm aiming for the top because I was born a man.

Robert followed that statement.

As a royal family, they gradually increase their say and follow the royal family around them.

Lagou As, their main lord, is a gentle man who is only good, and he has lost his government.

He gradually gains the trust of the people.

And one day, a famine occurred.

A great famine that requires a large number of children to be abandoned. Lagou had no solution for it.

Of course.

No matter what you do, the yield does not increase and the bread does not spring up.

But unreasonably, the dissatisfaction with this unreliable royal tribe continued to grow.

"Lagou exploits wealth from the people and lives a luxurious life!

Robert shouted loudly.

Many royalty and people agreed with him.

In an instant, the rebels, led by Robert, sieged and attacked Lagou's residence.

You succeeded in taking Lagou's head.

But there is one problem.

Wife and son-Lagou's wife, two sons, and one daughter are missing.

Robert searches for this with elite.

He found them trying to escape into the woods and killed his wife and two sons.

He raised his sword to kill the last child.

He thought.

(Are you still so young?)

Robert saw the girl in front of him-Tetra.

Not exactly like Lagou. I remember being a very clever child.

The Ass and Ferms are relatives, and Robert has taken care of the girl.

Of course, there is no option to take advantage of it.

It won't do anything for you.

There is no option to be a wife because this child will be resentful.

However, if you are imprisoned, it may be carried someday.

It is out of the question to escape.

But he did not kill.

I missed it.

Anyway, the kid will be killed by a wolf or lost to hunger and eat poisonous grass and die.

She kills her husband and kills her innocent wife and child, but she misses her youngest daughter.

His actions seem puzzling.

Did you have any negative consequences or were you going to destroy them?

In any case, he made the biggest mistake in his life.

"Is it bad? ..."

Ferm mourns while looking at the fields.

Even though it is only one month before the harvest, you can see that the wheat is not healthy.

Last year's famine managed to survive with tribute from villages in the woods and grain looted from the kingdom of Rossais ...

He has to do the same again this year.

Soldiers came in as Ferm lamented.

I have a small tube in my hand.

The soldier handed the tube to Ferm.

"What's happen?"

The deputy asked Ferm.

Ferm replied with a grin.

"A pigeon from a rat lurking in the kingdom of Rosais. King Rosais is said to have fallen."

Listening to that, the deputy secretary laughs.

"Well, I'm gonna die. It's a regular seizure. However, it's true that I can't take command. I'm going to attack King Rossais."

"But there is not enough supplies."

The Lieutenant says.

He grins grinning.

"What are you talking about? Are you fighting to secure that supply? At least, three days' worth of rice is enough.

Ferm looks at the forest.

"Until now, I was afraid of Griffon's anger and avoided large marches in the woods, but the last time I knew that his territory was in the woods, and that's fine as long as I don't commit it. I don't know why people live in their own forests and won't complain.

"Is it possible that they are specially favored by Griffon?"

"No. If so, griffons will come out when you request 80% of the food."

Ferm insists himself.

Griffon did not come out even if he threatened the food that would not be funny even if he was hungry and killed by the usual 80%.

In other words, the griffon is neutral.

"I will go through the forest and attack the king's palace."

The deputy curls his eyes.

Certainly you can say that through the forest.

After all, the palace of King Rosais is as soon as he passes through the forest.

But no one has ever done it.

Everything was afraid of Griffon's anger.

After all, many people think that the cause of poor harvest is griffon's anger.

So I throw my child into the forest with the intention of sacrifice.

It's actually a curse by the same person.

"But if you think about withdrawing ..."

The army must always consider when to withdraw.

If you lose, you're determined to be catastrophic. The backwaters must be avoided.

Naturally, such a place in the forest ...

"There will be a base. The village that became my territory last year."

"But that village doesn't seem to be bowing down."

"If it's aggressive, you should destroy it. You can secure the supplies and you are two birds with one stone."

It is early if decided.

Ferm calls on the sorcerer.

"Go for reconnaissance"

"Confirmed"

The three sorcerers flew hawks for reconnaissance.

It is very difficult to put on this soul.

First, you must bring your own soul out of your body while alive.

An average sorcerer can't return and dies.

In addition, the creature that carries the soul must be in communication with the heart.

Taking care and growing every day since childhood creates a bond.

With repeated training, you will be able to see the world with hawk eyes and dog nose.

Hawks have about eight times the sight of humans.

The best species to use for reconnaissance.

(The defense is stronger than when I came before ...)

The leader thought while looking down at the village from directly above.

It is deeply dug and has fences of reverse bushes and huge trees inside and outside.

The worst thing is a wooden tower.

Probably a device for shooting arrows and dropping stones and hot oil.

(Excessive equipment for wolf measures)

In other words, this is anti-military defense equipment.

The subject is ... you don't need to think about it.

The three magicians look closely at the village.

I hit the topography of the village into my head.

(No problem anymore)

Be especially cautious ... there are no mercenaries.

The village population does not seem to have changed.

(I'll be back)

Scream to convey that intention and change direction.

It was right after I turned my back to the village.

"Chat ..."

A scream came from behind.

When I turned around, a hawk, one size bigger than ourselves, glared our eyes.

The hawk had been reconnaissance on the feet of the big hawk.

The nails dig into the throat and do not move with the pickles, indicating that they are dead.

The leader screams and instructs the hawk to flutter its wings at full speed.

I can't win because of the difference in physique.

(Fucking! Why is this time ...)

Leaders grudge their bad luck.

It is extremely unlikely that you will encounter an animal's natural enemy while scouting with an animal.

This is because they concentrate too much on reconnaissance, and their surrounding vigilance tends to be neglected.

(You must escape quickly. If an animal dies while carrying a soul, it will die too!)

When I thought so, Suddenly my friend who was flying in front of me disappeared.

Looking down, a friend and a big hawk were struggling.

A friend desperately trying to escape from his nails.

However, the opposition was frustrated, and the companion was beaten strongly by the tree and died.

(The second one!)

The leader frantically flies while confused.

In this situation, my life and my partner's life are dangerous.

(That!)

An angry thing runs around the body, and in a hurry the leader twists his body to the right.

A large hawk's claw passes there.

(If it's the third one!)

Hawks do not make herds.

It can be thought that two animals just happened to happen, but the third one is different.

(Sorcerer!)

The enemy flies around the leader and gradually reduces the distance.

(Why! There can't be three higher sorcerers in such a small village! What do you mean ...?

Either way, you have to report.

Leader lowers altitude.

The enemy is bigger than his buddy.

Therefore, it should not be able to make a small turn.

If you enter the forest, you may escape.

(A little after!)

The impact struck my whole body as I entered the forest.

(?)

A stick-like object is stuck in his partner's chest.

It turned out that it was an arrow and the leader lost consciousness at the same time.

"Okay! I got it!"

Gram picks up the hawk she shot.

He's as good as ever.

"Gunnu ... I was going to defeat it."

Tetra, who has returned his soul to his body, rises and distorts his face so regretfully.

"I ate the bitter grass."

With that said, Tetra pulls out of her mouth.

"Hmmm, how are you doing? The first surprise was successful!"

"As expected, Lulu is the strongest!"

Gram tries to return Lulu.

The barrier between the villages helped.

There are various types of barriers, but there are objects that signal the approach of animals carrying souls. I put it in advance.

And if you think you got stuck in the barrier, there are three hawks in the sky ...

I don't want to see the honest village's defenses.

So the three of them came to work.

There is almost no worry that you will not be able to return because you only fly a little outside the village.

"By the way, were you happy to kill me? I'm going to be hostile."

Tetra says worried.

"It's okay. It's true that a magician is killed by a natural enemy during his mission. There are three talented magicians in a village with only a hundred people, King Ferm I don't think, because when I sent the reconnaissance I knew they were going to attack us. ''

We can say that the negotiations have already been broken by half.

"Relieve yourself when you're done. You don't need to do anything."

You can build a barrier or curse it with a few other magicians.

However, only these three can carry souls.

I am in trouble if I fall down.

"Then, pillow your arm for the next mission."

"I'm sorry I have something to do."

You have to check pitfalls and check weapons such as black powder.

"... make up when done"

Tetra inflated her cheeks dissatisfied.

But before that ...

"Iaal, would you like to go to the kingdom of Rosais and ask for reinforcements? I don't mind if we're alone."

"I understand"

So Ial headed to the kingdom of Rossais.

But the report from Iar who came back soon was not very good.

"It seems that King Rossais had a seizure and collapsed ..."

"What! What about reinforcements?"

"That's ... at the same time King Rosse collapsed, and at the same time King Ferm's troops moved 400. And the surrounding nations and the tribes seemed to be in disturbing movement ... At least three reinforcements could be put out. About days later ... "

three days……

Isn't it over by that time?

Well good.

For the time being is within the expected range.

"Leader! Black powder has been checked. No problem."

"Brother! The horse's condition is OK. You can go anytime."

"The stockpile of arrows and food was fine!"

Ron, Rosward, and Gram report in the mouth.

There is no problem for now.

"Good, no pitfalls and barriers. Ready."

The rest is to go according to the strategy.

"Once there is a possibility of peace, please prepare wheat."

"Is that possible?"

"If your opponent will give you 40%"

There is no hunger up to 60% (two-field system standard).

You can also make concessions here.

No more than that.

"Mr. Almus!"

I heard a voice from the gate.

It's Iar.

"King Ferm is collecting soldiers. I didn't know how many ..."

"I'm gonna fight. Boros?"

"It seems that the situation will cause an uprising."

A group of Boross is about 60 people.

If you fight from the front, you lose quickly.

I have to get upright looking at the situation.

"King. The sorcerers will not return."

"What is it? Have you been attacked by a natural enemy?"

It is a coincidence that a hawk is attacked by the natural enemy during reconnaissance.

Because they carry the magician's soul, they are inevitably alert.

It rarely happens, but it never happens.

And there is a terrain called forest. There is a high possibility that you will be hacked.

"Or ..."

Did King Rossais and Alums join hands?

But this line is low.

If three mages were defeated by King Rossais, three or more mages would have been sent to the village.

But recently Ferm has repeatedly spouted sorcerers into the kingdom of Rossais.

And I know the number of sorcerers coming out to intercept.

None of them had ever been missing.

And it is unnatural to have three sorcerers in such a remote village just because they have formed an alliance.

Other possibilities are ...

"Do you mean that there are three good sorcerers in that village?

impossible. Even in the country of King Ferm there are only nine people.

Probably it was accidentally done by a natural enemy. Bad luck.

In other words, the same natural enemy is still around that village.

Then it becomes the same thing again.

Is it safer to give up on reconnaissance?

"Is there six Sorcerers who can carry the remaining souls? ... Two of them should defend the country. Four of them will be fighting against King Rossais."

The sorcerers nodded to Ferm's instructions, and succumbing to the souls one after another.

"The soldiers are ready."

"Okay, you're occupying the village with two hundred soldiers. This time bring a hammering hammer. Try to bring more bowmen. I'm late for four hundred. The forest is hard to march on, and you will attack the kingdom of Rossais at three hundred.

Of the generals ordered by King Ferm, the generals ordered to attack the land of King Rossais directly were quiet.

"King ... I guess you can get at least a hundred more. Enemies are at least a thousand ..."

"No, up to four hundred"

Ferm affirmed.

"Rosaith's royals are completely shy of their last defeat and will not cooperate with King Rosaith, so he can move alone up to 2,000, taking into account damage from the previous battle He urges the kings of Evil and Belvedir, which are already facing the kings of Rossais, and will only send troops to the border anyway ... Will have to respond. ''

Ferm continues grinning.

"And I'm asking the loyal king of the king's ambition to move his soldiers. Well, in fact they won't do that unless I win, so there's a rebellion against the kings. He was crafted to understand that he needed to stick five hundred on the border with the royal family to defend his territory, and put one hundred on palace guard ... just four hundred. "

The generals breathed involuntarily.

The aim is to occupy the capital city of King Rosais.

And securing food.

There is enough chance.

"Now let's raise a toast at King Rosais's palace.

Ferm raised the glass of wine at high.
