Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

"Is that an enemy base?"

Alexius looked down at the top of the mountain from the fortress of the kingdom of Belvedir.

This is the country of King Belvedir. And it is the first line of defense against Lezard.

In front of the fortress lies a rather wide river. The forest extends over a wide area from the side of the fortress to this side of the opposite bank. Since it is impossible for a large army to march through the woods, the soldiers who guard the fortress need only be alert to the enemies in front.

Combine terrain and fortifications.

"Even if you try to cross a river, you are occupied by the enemy on the other side of the river. Japan has tried many times to cross the river, but it has been exhausted."

Ains, dispatched as a watchdog, explained to Alexios.

"I see. This is annoying."

Alexios answers while looking at the fortress with a single eye.

Currently, Alexios's Lezad Gehenna coalition has a total of 2,000 troops.

The composition is three hundred German cavalry and another 700 Gaul infantry. Thousands are Christian hoplites.

The common language is Greek.

The Germanman cavalry and Gaul infantry that Lezard brought are mercenaries.

You can understand the Greek language if it is only a word. The Greek language is like English for the countries of the Tethys coast.

"Alexios. I've been looking at the enemy soldiers."

It is Melia who spoke to Alexios.

The child is delivered to a trusted Christian legislator.

"The number of enemy soldiers is currently 500, and tomorrow there will be 1,500 reinforcements coming to 2,000. The terrain is being investigated."

"Thank you, Melia, I love you. Look carefully at the terrain. There may be points where you can cross the river upstream."

Alexios receives the detailed material from Melia and looks over it.

It contained information about the enemy generals and the specific weapons of the enemy.

"Do you need to look that far?"

"It doesn't hurt to look at it because I don't know where the enemy's weakness is."

Alexios answers Ains's question.

What is important in the war is the information war. That is Alexius' idea.

"The enemy is currently 500 ... Is it possible that the river will succeed now? Let's firmly destroy it"

Ains proposed to Alexios.

But Alexios shakes his head.

"No, I will fail. It is difficult to cross the river. I just arrived. There are no boats. "

"But the enemy force will be the same as ours, so will the fortress capture be difficult?"

"Well, don't worry. I have an idea ... it depends on the terrain."

Alexios shrugged.

After that, about five days have passed

"I will report! There is no major movement in the enemy army!"

"Well, I guess they are also making ships for crossing rivers."

The king of Belvedir's king decided that.

For about five days, the Lezad-Gehenna coalition has not moved. No, I can't move, but is it accurate?

"Well, even if you build a ship, you will not be able to cross the river. This is also preparing a barista to destroy the ship.

This fortress has prevented the invasion of the Christians for many years.

If you have the same number of fights, you can definitely defend. There is no need to win. If you can withstand the death of King Rossais, you will win.

"And I've heard that the enemy is less than thirty kid. Our victory is steady!"

The king of Belvedir's king had said so.

"General, isn't it better to consider the possibility of enemies crossing at midnight?"

"What are you saying? I wonder if it's too dangerous to cross a large army at midnight, such as crossing a river. If it's a small number, it's not impossible ... but well, watch it out.

At midnight the torch flames are very noticeable.

It is well understood from a distance. You may not know if the number is small, but you do not need to be careful with such an army.

Speaking of luxury, I wish there was a magician who could control the owl, but unfortunately I wasn't in this fortress.

There are not so many owlmasters.

"I just need to be ready.

next morning

"General !!!! It's hard! I've been set up by the enemy!"

"What? That ridiculous ..."

A general who mutters if she can't believe it.

His eyes certainly saw an enemy set up in front of the river.

About 5 days ago ...

"Well, that's a simple story. The danger of crossing the river is that the enemy is on the other side. Then just build a base before crossing."

"how?"

Alexios answers Ains with his eyes shining.

"Send a few soldiers at midnight. Around 20 people a day. You only have to cross a river that runs through forests that stretch east and west. That is, forty people a day. That is repeated four times by the fifth day. .160 people in total "

"Isn't it possible for one hundred and sixty people to be crushed immediately even if secured?"

There is no point in establishing a base on the other side if it cannot be maintained.

It only reduces troops mischievously.

"So build a fortress. Well, a fortress isn't a big deal. A fence, digging, and an arrow tower are enough."

"How do you build it? I don't think it's going to be that easy ..."

"Build all at once in the middle of the night. You can build and carry the parts here. The fence can be easily done by disassembling the raft. Oh, 160 people use my slaves, so don't worry. I will do it too. ''

However, there is still concern that decent construction can be done at midnight.

But Alexios laughs and answers.

"Well, look at it. Make sure you show it to success. And there's one more strategy. I want Lezard's cavalry to move."

This is the fourth night.

The ship carrying the last forty, Alexios and Melia sailed in the dark. The light is the minimum required torch.

Arrive on the other shore relying only on the light of the stars and the moon.

Alexios and others headed for a predetermined junction.

There were already 120 people who had successfully crossed the river earlier. This is one hundred and sixty.

All are Alexios slaves.

They work on Alexios farmland, and thus come to the battlefield. They are all good slaves who have civil engineering skills.

"Now, I'm going to use blessing now. Don't tell this thing to others .... Well, you'll be fine."

Alexius looks to Melia.

Melia bites the weird grass and copies her soul into an owl.

Alexios speaks to the owl (Melia).

"Now borrow your eyes"

Alexios removed his eyepatch and activated Blessed Blessing.

This blessing is the ability to borrow the view of a close human. Now Alexius' right eye view is shared with the owl's right eye.

"Next I will lend you my eyes"

Alexios then activates "Blessing of the Eye".

This is the blessing of lending the eyesight of one's eyes to the other. The view is not shared.

Alexios lent her slaves the right eye she shared with the owl.

The right eyes of the slaves now work as well as the owl at night.

"Okay, start construction right now. Try to make as little noise as possible."

"""Yes!!"""

The slaves saluted whispered.

Thus, a strong base was built overnight.

As soon as the Lezad Gehenna confirms the formation of the base in the early morning, it begins to cross soldiers.

By the time Belvedir's army had noticed, 300 soldiers had successfully crossed the river.

This makes a total of 460 soldiers successfully crossed the river.

General Belvedir prepared the army in a hurry and set out.

The forces left in the fortress are minimal. Now you have to destroy the enemy base with all your might.

"Hurry up! Apparently, there are about 500 enemies! Now you can crush. In addition, the enemy is in the backwaters. There is a chance to crush the enemy!"

The general ordered the Allied Lezad Gehenna to carry out a total attack.

Approximately 2,000 soldiers surround the 500 and launch a total attack.

However, despite the quadruple in force, he was unable to drop it.

"Yeah !!

"I'm sorry! The enemy's resistance is strong ... and the enemy base is strong ..."

There are four reasons the Belvedir could not drop its base.

One, a strong base.

The bases that Alexios created and led directly were very strong and did not fall easily. Although it is shallow, it is surrounded by digging and multiple fences, and even though it is low, there is even a proper arrow tower.

Two, Alexios's commanding ability and blessing.

Alexios, commanding the eyes of the Melia Hawk, commanded the battlefield from above with a bird's-eye view.

No matter how much the general changes the focus of his strength, Alexio will be able to respond immediately to the gap.

Three, a group of backwaters.

The raft on which the slave soldiers Alexius brought was turned into fences, and the raft on which additional soldiers were riding has been burned. Thus, 500 soldiers have no escape.

Therefore he is fighting desperately. And since reinforcements are coming one after another from the other shore, there is hope that if you step on it now, you will be saved.

Four, the presence of reinforcements.

Alexios is always surrounded by tired soldiers from the other side. Place the soldier in a location of high attack.

The more time you do in this way, the stronger Alexios's defenses will be.

The Belvedir stopped its attack when the sun shined high above the head.

Already 70% of the Lezad-Gehenna coalition has successfully crossed the river.

"I can't help but retreat. Even if there is no river, there is a fortress. The fortress is protected by water moats and ramparts. It doesn't fall so easily.

The general told himself so and began to withdraw.

However, a few minutes after the march, smoke began to rise from the fortress.

"What does it mean!!"

Hurry out to the fortress in a hurry, and at the same time speed up the march.

Hayama's answer came back.

"It's tough! Lezad's cavalry unit is bypassing and attacking the fortress! Apparently it seems to have crossed the river upstream and came around!"

"What !!!! I'm in a hurry !!!!" What the watchmen were doing!

"(Her Excellency now concentrates on the front ...")

"Did you say anything?"

"No, nothing!"

The general speeds up faster but slows down.

Flags of Lezad and Gehenna were raised on the fortress.

The gate opens slowly, and the cavalry appears.

From behind, Lezad Gehenna infantry began to march towards Belvedir.

"I was sandwiched ..."

The Belvedir troops surrender immediately.

Hundreds of casualties in this war, including enemy and friend.

Alexis' first start on the Adernia peninsula was brilliantly ended.
