Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

Episode 167: The Third Conquest of the South

"Why didn't you come to the reinforcements early! I could have lost because of you!"

"What do you say! What was your bad command? This barbarian!

A Nemes general and a Gaul mercenary captain who are tied up behind and fight with each other.

I wonder if these guys are actually good friends.

"Well, I want to ask you both ... how much more remains in Lezard and Nemes?"

"Who says! I'm a warrior! I'm this barbarian!"

"... Speaking of, can you help me keep my subordinates safe?"

The former is a Nemes general and the latter is a Gaul mercenary captain.

After all, mercenaries may be more concerned about their own subordinates than other countries.

"Thank you!

"Nothing betrayed, just answer the interrogation. I am obliged to protect the life of my mercenary captain, subordinate!"

The two start a quarrel again.

Well, neither is correct. Not exactly right.

"Mr. Mercenary, I'll guarantee your subordinates. Can you give me your subordinate's name?"

The captain of the mercenary wants to help, and names about twenty direct reports.

I wish I was alive ...

"These twenty will not be enslaved, but will be released later.

"... Okay, release me as soon as I know I'm correct."

"Hey!

In the wake of the uproating Nemes general, the mercenary replied about Pelapera, Lezad, and Nemes' remaining strength.

Summarizing the captain of the mercenary captain, Lezad's troops are 3,000 Germanic mercenaries.

Nemes seems to have about 2,000 reserves remaining.

Neither are great enemies.

Is the problem Alexius again?

If Lezad throws Alexios at the last minute, it will not be an easy win.

"Your Majesty has received a letter from your parent, Gehenna Abraham."

"Show me"

I receive a letter from the guards.

Break the seal and check inside.

......

"It looks like Gehenna has declared war on Nemes. It looks like Gehenna's 5,000 heavy infantry are avalanche in Nemes."

"It's a terrible vulture bastard. That man."

Bartolo shrugged.

Absolutely.

It's good to try to snatch Nemes from the side after we struggle to win.

The reason I didn't attack Lezard was because I thought I would be dissatisfied if I swallowed Lezard from the side.

"But Nemes should be defensive. If it's two thousand, he'll be able to endure for a while. We'll have to eat Nemes by then."

"In order to do that, we need to hit the rezado early."

The remaining force is 3,000.

As expected, we cannot beat us in the field.

However, in the battle against the castle, the mobility of the German manis mercenaries cannot be used.

Either way, the victory is confirmed.

The rest is time.

"Even if you are in a hurry, the battle will be hindered. It was a series of battles today, stop marching and camp. You should arrive in the capital of Lezard in five days.

"I know. I'm overwhelming in number. There's no reason I can't win."

Several small city-states are scattered from here to Lezad, but they can be ignored.

I can't do much.

Shall we issue a surrender recommendation now?

Well, treatment is allied city.

That night thing.

"Well, how will you advance from tomorrow?"

"Split the army in two"

Two?

Is it good?

"Three thousand enemies. On the other hand, this is forty-three thousand. It is too much to divide the army into two. Create 10,000 separate riot police and capture each city. The commander ... Guess the royal family. ''

Well ... because I need to lead the Lezard capture unit, my army.

But I can't afford to skip Bartolo. I can't rely on my command.

Anyone can capture a small city state.

"Then, let's appoint Ron and Gram. Two of them are 5,000 each. Both would be able to be led by around 5,000."

"That's good, it's a good opportunity to get them to make a credit."

Despite being small, it is a good achievement to drop one country.

I mean, the reason I became a royal family dropped a small country.

It will be a good experience.

"What do Alexius do?"

"... too cautious? I can't do anything with three thousand cavalry. Unless we have no cavalry, we have the same number ..."

"I'm sorry. Did you feel sick? I'm not skeptical of your abilities. But ... just be careful."

What I can say is a great general

Bartolo, Alexios, and Kryu.

I do not feel like I can win even if there is a double difference in force between these three people.

Of course, I think Bartolo is the best of these, but there are times.

Bartolo is not always unbeatable.

"Well, Alexius Barka is a threat. We have a plan to counter it. If we face Alexius Barca, we will place the phalanx of the nations in front. With our wings behind and our manipulus behind We will have a strong defense and have the same number of three thousand cavalry on both wings, which would not be possible. "

Phalanx is very resistant to head-on attacks.

The front is an iron wall.

The weak point is manipulus, which has excellent flexibility.

After hardening the defense completely, hit the cavalry with a cavalry ...?

There is no oddity, but it is very solid and hard to break.

No matter how much Alexius Barca can do this.

"As long as the enemies are overwhelmingly inferior to this, it will be a siege battle. Unfortunately, siege weapons are like mountains."

"I can carry it directly from home using water transport."

The weak point of siege weapons is that they are heavy.

Even when disassembled and carried, it is bulky.

Therefore, it is basically handmade locally.

A siege weapon with a difficult mechanism ... A large dread "Barista" can be made just by cutting down a tree and cutting the tip of a hammer with a hammer.

However, the power of a hammer alone is not enough.

That's why it's always prolonged, but not this time.

"Let's call Ron and Gram. Let's explain it to them."

I use the guards to call Ron and Gram.

Then they explain the separate squad to them.

"I can't take part in the Lezard attack, but this is also a good achievement. Most of the Lezard attacks are Bartolo's achievements, but all of the surrounding city-state attacks are yours. "

As I explain, Ron and Gram look nervous.

"I see, Lee ... Your Majesty! I'll show you my expectations!"

"It's my first 5,000 army ... I'll do it!"

Ron and Gram nodded vigorously.

This will be fine.

"Oh, I'll send excellent non-commissioned officers and a lieutenant from my army. Listen to their opinions.

A special lecture by Bartolo begins.

They hear it with a serious expression.

It was time for Bartolo's story to come to an end.

"That's tough! Your Majesty! What you want to hear right away ... Is it okay to enter the room?"

"Insert early"

Guards rush to the camp.

What the hell happened?

"It seems that the army of the Republic of Pofenia has landed on the southern coast of Lezard! It seems that he is heading straight to Lezard ..."

Republic of Pofenia ...

Certainly, it was a marine state on the southern continent of the Adernia Peninsula. They are fighting with the Christians ...

Alexios' homeland.

"What the hell? Did you come to help Lezard? Or hyena?"

"Oh, I don't know. It seems that the sorcerer's owl just saw the flag ... the number is unknown."

Don't you know the number?

But it's not a thousand or two thousand.

The opponent is a great country. Without a doubt, you can think of it as exceeding.

"First, let's send the messengers. I don't know their purpose ... it's definitely our enemy, whether in Lezard's helpboat or Hyena."

That's right.

I do not want to retreat.

Pofenia is an enemy, unless they retreat.

"By the way, what about the strategy to split the army into two?"

"I'll have to stop. It's better to hurry to defeat the Pofenian army first. I don't know the number of enemies. The capture of each city will not be late even after the fall of Lezard."

The day after the Pofenian army landed.

"It's good that arrest has been lifted. It's amazing that there are no members of parliament. At all ..."

Alexios shrugged.

Around noon yesterday, Lezad was informed of the defeat of the Allied Forces of Lezad Nemes, and the Lezad parliament fell into chaos.

In Parliament, thorough anti-war and surrender groups were mixed up, causing a great brawl.

There, a declaration of war in the Republic of Pofenia was sent to Lezard.

The Greek cities of the southern Adernia, including Lezado, were in conflict with Pofenia on Trisqueria.

Pofenia has begun to march to Lezad to gain access to the entire island of Triscieria.

Dropping Lezard gives you control over the waters between Trisiceria and Adernia.

Obviously, the aim of Pofenia is the capital of Lezad and its outskirts.

Following the news of the Pofenian troops landing, the Lezad parliament fell into chaos.

Many lawmakers have gathered their belongings and fled Gehenna by land.

He chose to stay with Gehenna, the same Christian, as far as the invasion of Pophenia and the kingdom of Rosais.

"Now, let's run away. It looks like my employer has gone somewhere. Melia, let's get the household goods together and we'll go to exile. The kingdom of Rossais will not be treated badly."

"That's right. King Rossais seemed to have a good impression on us. Would you like to buy it in the countryside and live in detail?"

While talking about such things, they begin to organize their household goods.

Several men came there.

"Wait please!!"

"You guys ... haven't you escaped?"

Alexis was visited by a legislator who remained in Lezad.

There are two types of members of Lezard.

They are representatives of merchants engaged in transit trade on ships, and of tradesmen living in Lezard and merchants who run retail stores in Lezard.

The latter are smaller in number, but the latter are more patriotic.

70% of all members of the Diet have fled.

About 30% remained in Lezard.

"Please, protect Lezard. Only you can command!"

"But hey ..."

"Pay money! Debt!"

Lawmakers kneel down and desperately lower their heads.

"But where are the soldiers? If there were no soldiers ..."

"I'm here!"

Appearing were the men of Lezard.

All bring their weapons from home.

Some of them looked like a joke with a pot on their heads, a lid on the pot as a shield, and a kitchen knife on the end of a broom.

The men who appeared all stare straight at Alexios.

In my eyes, I felt a strong will to protect my hometown.

"... But an amateur alone can't help. It's impossible to compete against both the kings of Rosais and Pofenia."

"... Surrender to the kingdom of Rosais. Even if occupied and deprived of autonomy, it's a good idea to be looted by both Pofenian mercenaries!"

Pofenia is a mercenary-dominated country.

The army's poor conduct was famous.

The town occupied by Pofenia is destroyed, money is robbed, children are killed and women are raped.

The kingdom of Rossais is much better.

"But you and my employment relationship have broken down since you imprisoned me .... Isn't it too bad for a bug to not trust me when it matters, and just cry when in trouble? "

"... I know, but we want to protect our hometown!"

I want to protect my hometown.

Alexios had no idea.

Alexios hates the country of the Republic of Pofenia and the Barkas.

Alexios sighs.

"Huh ... I don't know. Mercenaries work on a balance between profit and danger. This is too much of a danger.

Alexios flatly refused.

And let it go.

"But, despite your mutual interests, you accepted us as we ran down. You were betrayed on the way, but that fact remains the same. Escape here is bad for children's education. There's no help. I'll take it for free. Should I protect this city from Pofenia's fucking? "

Alexios laughed.
