Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

Episode 29: First Team

It took about a day and a half for King Ferm's military advance to arrive at the village.

"Surrender the village, and provide the food of two hundred soldiers! That will save your life."

"200 people?-Is that really it? Will you take it all after occupying the village?"

"Well, we just want to secure our troops. We don't want any more."

Is true.

However, it does not say how much is worth 200 soldiers.

Maybe most of the harvest in this village ... Well, at that time there is no choice (...).

Almus thinks a bit.

Negotiations are things that take place on an equal footing or under the supervision of great power.

Is it really fulfilled? Without that confirmation, the condition cannot be drunk.

And the commander said it was soldiers.

In other words, the enemy's purpose is the king's palace.

They march in a forest that would not normally run for fear of griffons, and make a surprise attack in this village. That is the enemy's purpose.

If you surrender this village, then Yulia and then King Rossais will be sparked.

What is it?

"What evidence?"

"I swear to King Ferm's name."

"If it's impossible"

Negotiations break apart.

Negotiations are simply over, since both parties thought that fighting would take place from the beginning.

"Get on the track. What can you do with forty or fifty soldiers? This is two hundred. Let's drop by force!"

Commanders often observe the village.

Deep digging and high wooden fences.

There is only one gate.

The village is of a reasonable size, so siege is difficult for 200 people.

Because the purpose is a short-term decisive battle, it is better to focus on the gate and defeat it.

There are forty or fifty enemy soldiers, but more than a hundred if you count the villagers.

However, the primary goal of this time is to secure supplies and bases.

There is no need to kill everyone separately.

After dropping the head of an enemy general, you will immediately kneel if you make a surrender recommendation.

The sacrifice may be high, but their role is bare.

The important thing is to drop it before the main unit arrives, or weaken it if you can't.

This time, unlike the last time, there is a hammer hammer and many bow soldiers.

"First of all, secure the area around the gate.

Soldiers who are used to the battle rush to the gate while forming a row.

But suddenly, the platoon began to get confused.

"That's a pitfall ... a troublesome thing ... by a detour"

It seems that a spear had been buried up below the pit, killing 20 people, but was only trapped in the pit for the first time.

The pitfalls can be seen by looking carefully at the ground.

It's easy to avoid.

However, it takes time to get to the gate by detouring.

"Kshit. I haven't heard that there is such a defense."

Commander complains.

After all, we must prepare for a reasonable sacrifice.

The pitfalls, however, are basic defense equipment.

Don't be surprised.

"But if you occupy this village, you can secure supplies. You must secure a base before the main unit comes."

"Yes. That way ... dangerous!"

The Lieutenant dropped the commander off the horse.

Commander rolls on the ground.

"Thank you! What on earth ..."

The Lieutenant was dead.

An arrow is stuck in his head.

The commander looked around.

"Shit! This arrow has gone through the armor!"

"Although it's made of custom-made bronze ..."

"Is it made of iron?"

Soldiers are shot one after another with arrows.

"What does that mean! What is this bow squad doing?"

"The arrow will not reach from this distance!"

The archer returns.

They don't know, but the bow used by Almus is a long bow purchased from a Christian merchant.

The range is different from the bow of the king of Ferm.

It is also made of iron, unlike the army of King Ferm, who also uses stone arrows.

Shooting it from a tall tower allows it to strike outside of the range of King Ferm's archer.

"Hold the shield! In front of the arrow ...

A captain whose head is shot down with a bronze shield

There is an upset among the soldiers that the bequest shield has failed.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"It's okay. I pierced the armor, but it was scratched.

The soldiers who received the arrows began to hit the ground.

Not only those who have stabbed deeply, but also those who have only faint.

"Is it a poison arrow! I'm a coward!"

Commander shouts.

In response, Poison Arrow pierces the commander's feet.

"Huh!"

"The Commander must go down!"

The commander descended backwards to be protected by his men.

"Is it possible to win?"

"Oh, about fifty people have already reduced the number."

The rest is one hundred and fifty.

If there are fifty more, they will retreat.

Enemy equipment is a bronze spear.

Most are wooden armor and some are leather. And the captain's class is bronze armor, which is almost the same as the commander and is made of iron.

This bow is a long bow purchased from a Christian by hitting a large piece of paper.

And an iron arrowhead painted with aconite poison.

It's funny to lose.

"It's time for the enemy's arrows to be within range. Be careful, Almus."

Gram shouts from above the arrow tower.

The enemy was initially confused, but raised his shield to prevent the arrows and was approaching the village steadily.

"Be careful, you just don't die."

"I know"

Gram smiles and answers.

I'm worried, but I have to leave it.

"Lon, you're about to return to your holding place. When the enemy reaches the gate ... do you know?"

"Okay, I'll show you something."

Ron returns to her post.

Well, I have to get back soon.

If you are here, you will be shot with an arrow.

You will gradually hear the enemy's footsteps, accompanied by the sound of arrows piercing the village buildings.

Enemy archers are about forty.

Because there are more than here, the more intense the enemy's attack, the less chance there is for you to shoot.

Grams and others hide behind a large shield made of steel, find a gap, and shoot through archers with priority.

The war situation is leaning toward the enemy.

……For now.

"Leader! It seems that the enemy has occupied the gate area!"

Ron gladly reported.

"Okay, do it!"

When I say that, Ron grins and nods.

He holds something like a spear in his hand.

Ron calls on nine subordinates.

"You guys! Did you have a bomber? It's training. Don't hit the fence. Those who failed are castrated !!"

Ron raises a spear with a black powder at the tip.

When Ron holds his spear, the spear begins to glow faintly.

The magic has been activated.

"One, two, three, yes!"

At the same time as Ron's call, ten spears jumped over the gate and fell between the soldiers rushing around the gate.

Fired upon falling.

Black gunpowder caused a massive explosion.

As soon as the arrow from the enemy stops.

Screams are heard from outside the gate, and white smoke rises.

"Okay, success. Second shot, ready!"

Ten spears hit the enemy again.

A scream rises.

"It's alright. Stop it. Go, Rosward."

"Okay. Brother."

I straddle the horse that Rosward brought.

Alongside Rosword.

There are six cavalry, including me and Rosward.

"Open the gates! Grams will stop firing arrows as soon as I charge! Ron, you guys will continue after!"

The gate opens.

There we charged.

"Wow, it's terrible."

The situation outside the gate was worse than expected.

There are corpses scattered like crushed tomatoes.

Some corpses were so miserable that they wondered if they were human.

I realize again the horror of what I have created.

I feel chilled if my enemy uses black powder.

The recipe must be kept secret.

The enemy was in chaos with sound, white smoke, and the sudden death of a companion.

You don't need to do anything anymore ...

"I will defeat the enemy general!"

I call and charge into the enemies in the havoc.

There is no need to wave a spear.

Seeing me, the enemy opens the way as if I gave up.

It's almost as good as having won.

Suddenly, they penetrate the enemy's army.

I need to charge again.

When the white smoke becomes a little clear, you can tell the enemy's clothes.

Most soldiers wear leather or wooden armor, and some wear bronze armor.

"A man wearing an iron armor and riding a horse! You are an enemy general!"

Rosward kicks the belly of the horse, approaching a suspected enemy general.

The enemy began to flee, frightened.

"Can you escape!"

He threw a spear holding Rosward in his hand.

The spear made an arc and pierced the back of the enemy general.

"Rosward has defeated the enemy general!"

When I shout, allies cheer.

At the same time, the enemy sat down on the ground as if giving up.

First, win. Does that mean?
