Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

Episode 116: Kagojo Battle

"I'm not good at siege wars ..."

General Cryu grinned, but began preparing for the siege.

Command the soldiers to build a siege weapon.

There is no problem because the wood, which is the material, grows everywhere.

"Isn't it okay to bring a siege weapon?"

"I couldn't make it if I brought it."

Mari tells Cryu.

The Gauls are a hunting and gathering tribe in the forest. Therefore I am good at moving and fighting in the woods.

However, when it comes to crafts that use forest trees, I'm not very good at it.

They are clumsy, and their roots are long after long hours of work.

This sober work is an Adernian proprietary patent.

"But it's a strong castle. If you attack it properly, the damage is too great."

"Well then, do you want to attack the soldier?"

"I hope. But is King Almus sweet enough to forgive it?"

Already in diplomatic work, three nations, the Equus, the king of Evil, and the king of Belvedir, have advanced to the king of Rosais.

Destroy these three troops and rescue your friends ...

Difficult but not impossible.

"However, even if you attack honestly from the front, the damage will only increase ... Is it still a military attack? You have to consider the risk of being pinched with the army who came to rescue."

Cryu ponders his thoughts.

Mari doesn't talk much about the military, as he's in doubt.

"The enemy has had little preparation time, and as we marched and marched, many neighbors evacuated to the inside of the ramparts. For four to six months ... OK, the attack on armaments is the best.

Kryu first flies his horse back home, requesting extensive reinforcements.

Cryu brought elite 10,000. However, in a castle attack, numbers are more important than skill.

It is not advisable to siege with 10,000 soldiers.

Then prepare for the siege battle while waiting for reinforcements.

"The production of siege weapons remains the same. Those who have clumsy hands are civil engineering. Dig the soil!"

A double dig is made around the wall with the support of Cryu.

The digging inside is to keep the enemy completely trapped.

The digging on the outside is digging in preparation for being shot by King Almus who came to rescue.

However, the Gauls do not have much skill.

Even if you say digging, it is about digging so that the horse can not jump, and setting up a rejected horse.

However, there is a big difference between having and not having this.

It puts mental pressure on the enemy by showing the enemy that they are completely trapped.

And fences and digging can prevent the enemy from attacking the night, and can also rest the soldiers.

"But you're not quite used to it? Isn't this a normal Gallian throwing out?"

"Well, we've been sieging in the northeastern part of Gaul for years.

Cryu answered with a grin.

"And don't attack?"

"No, as soon as the siege wall is made, we will attack at the same time as digging. It is necessary to make the enemy tired."

You can't be in the civil engineering business forever.

"Well, don't you move on for the time being?"

"I don't think so"

"Well then ... why don't you go hunting to kill time?"

"Okay, the fifth!"

Mari heads to collect the rabbits.

Kick the horse's belly lightly and run up to the rabbit, get off and pick up the rabbit.

The arrow pierced the rabbit's head with a single shot.

Immediate death.

"I like it. I die in a moment ... what do you think of Cru?"

Mari asks Cru with a grin.

Cryu raises her hands up as if to call a surrender.

"I don't have the talent of a bow and arrow. If I have a sword, I can take on a bear or a dragon ... but the Balloon is as good as ever."

"Well."

Mari said, holding a bow on a horse and running at a dash.

Then aim at the sky, pull the arrow, and release the arrow.

After a while, a large bird fell on the meadow.

"Is it the best today? Let's go home soon"

"That's right. It seems like he can't beat Madrid for hours."

Cryu shrugged.

"But it's really amazing. Is that from a flat face?"

"Yes. That's normal for those guys. You know, the enemy had alva cavalry, right?-They're good at shooting too, because they're descendants of a flat face. Well, I was originally an archery club but……"

"Archery?"

"Yes. Well, play. So I got some basics. So it wasn't so difficult. That's it."

Mari says so and shuts up.

(I failed to select a topic ...)

Cryu returned to his headquarters with some regrets.

"Oh oh wow!!!!!"

"Ooooooooooo !!!"

midnight.

The loud noise of the enemy soldiers echoes, and the fire arrows pour while making a sound that cuts the wind.

The fire arrow leaps over the castle wall and pierces the roof of a private house, burning beautifully like a shooting star.

The houses in the kingdom of Domorgar are made of stone, but their roofs are made of wood due to their weight.

It burns naturally if it catches fire.

The dry weather in the Adernia Peninsula increases the probability of fires.

Therefore, all the residents were working on fire extinguishing activities.

"I don't get tired every night."

"You must have done it to us."

"How about that verse?"

Tonino and Bartolo stare at the enemy while tapping lightly.

There are no enemies trying to climb the walls or destroy the gates.

If you do that at midnight, you'll only be fighting each other and the damage will only increase.

The enemy is firing every night because it is safe to fire it.

I wonder where this oil is ... but probably olive oil looted from rural areas.

The Adernia Peninsula has a thriving olive and grape production.

Initially feared by enemy night attacks, soldiers were troubled by lack of sleep, but now they are accustomed or are calm. If you do the same thing for two weeks, you get used to it.

Daytime soldiers rent a private house and sleep peacefully.

"But the enemy doesn't really attack seriously."

"Generally, we're waiting for reinforcements. We have more numbers."

The number of the Allied forces, who are on the side of the castle, is slightly better.

However, if you defeat them poorly while you are under siege, you will inevitably suffer severe damage.

And the morale hasn't recovered.

One example of a large furry ... According to POWs' testimony, some soldiers tremble just by looking at a creature called an elephant.

Makes the elephant call out, knowing that the enemy also knows it.

That peculiar scream certainly did demoralize the Allies.

"Well, it's good. Preparations are going on."

Just as the siege side has preparations, the basket castle side has preparations.

For example, the production of arrows and weapons.

Arrows are consumables and weapons can be damaged.

Blacksmiths are mobilizing mass production so that they can be replenished immediately.

In addition, various preparations are being made, such as preparing stone and wood in advance so that it can be repaired immediately when the castle wall is collapsed, collecting pebbles dropped from the castle wall, and training the soldiers. Was.

"But one thing is worrisome. Enemy reinforcements are slow."

"The reason remains unknown."

Bartolo and Tonino used a magician outside the city walls to gather information from enemies.

With that information, 40,000 enemy troops are coming here as reinforcements. We know that the first team will arrive two weeks later ...

It has been two weeks since the Kagogi battle began.

In other words, it takes four weeks to arrive from Roselle.

"Isn't that strange? It's true that it's a long distance away ... General Cryu came so quickly. If he was a man like General Cryu, he would come to Demorgar in anticipation of a siege battle It's OK to have a soldier ready before.

"Maybe it's a political situation. Such a mystery is mostly political ..... and Bartolo is enviable."

Bartolo puts his liquor in his mouth and answers after drinking a sip.

"My king will take care of the war entirely. I still don't have a command to dismiss him. It's easy to do as a soldier.

Almus is aware of his lack of service.

At least a little above average.

For this reason, wars are throwing rounds against excellent warlords such as Bartolo.

No, not just war.

Almus has little connection with the Australians due to his origin.

That's why we leave the adjustments to the royals to Leymond entirely.

Mochi is a mochi shop.

"Well, it may be unsavory this time, but I've beaten and lost .... I'll be prepared. I'd like you to take a generous measure if you can. It looks like it's done ... I'm going to sleep soon. "

"I see. I'm awake for a while."

Bartolo leaves.

Then he looks at the stars and murmurs.

"I don't want to go home alive. At least I don't want to see my daughter's wedding ...

Bartolo realized the greatness of the first king, who blessed the marriage of his only daughter calmly.

"Kairas, isn't it a little late?"

"Hm. I admit that it took some time, but I'm wondering if I came here as reinforcements. Kryu. I told you that I would be late."

Kailas Al Roselle.

He is a cousin of the current King Roselle.

If you answer what kind of person ... bloodline is good, but ability is mediocre.

Is that a place?

Ordinary ability means a person who can move the army normally and rule safely.

In other words, as long as you don't do much, you can get a good job.

His problem is not ability.

In its temperament.

Arrogant and unable to emphasize with others. And be careful. Appealing and flashy.

If you are incompetent, you can be truncated without mercy, and if you are competent, you can endure.

But he is an ordinary person.

A man in a very troublesome standing position.

"Let me explain why you were late."

"It's good as if I had a problem. As you know, our country is surrounded by germanis and several strong opponents in Gilbed, Fardham, and northeastern Galia.

"But hasn't it taken longer than usual to come here after consolidating the army?"

When Kryu complains, Kailas replied casually.

"I can't help it. The resistance of the residents was fierce."

"If you make no sense looting, it will be"

Looting has many advantages.

You can secure your troops and save the hassle of having a whore. Above all, keep your soldiers morale.

But you must be prepared for intense resistance.

Therefore Cryu loots villages and towns along the path, but does not loot until he deliberately stops by.

The advantage of speeding up the march by procuring supplies locally is lost.

The purpose is to win the war, and looting is one of the means.

"It's my decision as a field commander to make sense ... Cru. Can you prove my looting was meaningless?"

"... It's good, next time there's nothing like this."

Cryu sighs.

In any case, the pursuit of responsibility cannot execute Kailas.

King Roselle is sweet to his relatives.

If Cry kills Kailas, Cry's life is in danger.

Cryu utters words to Kailas, who leaves.

"I am the commander of this operation. Don't forget the dream."
