Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

"Don't fall off ... I don't think it's like a very well-built soldier who has a basket."

Kepka plays the pieces on the board.

In front of Kepka is a model of this battlefield.

A model of the walls of Lezad is surrounded by pieces of Pofenian soldiers.

Kepka has a piece of the main unit that represents himself.

"I've got the initiative all the time. But somehow it's going to happen. What is it?"

In the war, the strategic advantage is the attacker.

Of course, the defender is advantageous if one tactically cuts the battlefield.

But the story changes when you think about the battlefield as a whole.

The attacker has the freedom to choose where to attack.

The attacker has the freedom to choose the battlefield, but the defender does not.

In aggression and national defense, national defense is much more difficult.

Therefore, winning first, speed and quick judgment will determine the course of the war.

Kepka's ability to judge is more than an average general.

I can't lose to the generals there.

Kepka thinks.

Why can enemies predict their actions so perfectly?

And reach a certain conclusion.

"Call the sorcerers."

Kepka ordered the guards.

"This blessing is very compatible with the Kagogi battle."

Alexios touches his right eye.

Alexios has two types of protection, "protection of borrowers" and "protection of borrowers."

As the name implies, it is a blessing that can borrow and lend the view of others.

Currently, Melia is flying a hawk over Lezad.

Taking the gaze of the hawk, Alexios has a bird's-eye view of the entire battlefield.

The existence of Lezard's sorcerer has not been found so far, as he is casting a cover-up spell on the falcon (Melia).

"Oops, it moves. Will you attack the southwestern wall next time? As usual, you'll skillfully pierce this weakened defense. The mercenaries are moving fast. To move is a person who can not be despised. ''

Alexios laughs happily.

The pleasure of fighting with the great generals and the pleasure of blowing a blow to the hated Barcas.

Look over the entire battlefield and respond to every enemy movement.

The Lezard army, under Alexios's command, will keep the enemy from attacking with minimal movement.

As a result, waste can be eliminated and troops can be maximized.

Attrition and fatigue are also reduced, which leads to maintaining the ability to fight.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, the gaze of the hawk changes.

In front of his gaze were several hawks.

"Are you, Barre?"

Alexios counteracts blessing.

The advantage of information has disappeared.

"Well, that's it until the second afternoon, so let's go positively."

Alexios changes his instructions immediately.

Send the troops who had been resting to the battlefield to increase their overall defense.

Until now, they have responded by adding more troops before being hit.

But now they have to move after being attacked. Alexios has no foresight.

"It was hard ..."

"Melia? Are you tired and okay?"

Melia returns safely and walks to Alexios.

"Well, my hawk is big and it's easy to shake off a few hawks and get away. The help of a Lezard sorcerer ... but it's gone."

"That's true, I'm in trouble. I mean, I mean, I'm a commander and I've fallen into Kepka."

Alexios shrugged.

"As directed by His Excellency, when he flew over Lezad and observed closely, there was a hawk who hid himself with the spell of concealment .... What is that?"

"Melia Cranstal, a sorcerer from the Cranstal Orphanage," Otaka. You will know. "

Hearing Kepka's words, the sorcerers opened their eyes.

"That means ..."

"The enemy commander is Alexius Barka ... No, Alexius! That man not only fled the Barkas and fled, but also stripped his tusks against Pofenia!"

Kepka slams his fist at the desk.

A glass cup placed on the desk shakes, falls on the floor and cracks.

The sound of breaking glass echoes in the tent.

"So I and Seal said that when the odd-eyed bullshit was born, I should strangle my neck! That eye always goes to the Barcas ... no, it's a disaster for Pofenia!"

It has long been said that children with different eyes have a misfortune in their home.

Therefore, as with children with physical or intellectual disabilities, they are often strangled at birth.

Alexios was similarly strangled by midwives and surrounding adults at birth, but escaped by his mother's desperate persuasion.

However, Alexius' mother died when Alexius was five years old.

It is a rumor that it is a curse of odd iris.

By the way, this tradition has been transmitted from the ancient times to the coast of the East Tethys Sea, the home of the Pofenians.

In Greece, the degree varies depending on the region, but it still does not give a good impression.

It is a tradition common to marine peoples.

As a result, this tradition has not been passed on to Adernians, Gauls, and Germanis who do not board the ship.

That's why Germanic mercenaries are not so hateful about Alexios.

"Tell the whole army. Let Alexios and Melia Clanstar live alive and capture! I'll give them 100 gold coins!"

Kepka's belly was boiling with anger.

While burning his eyes with anger, Kepka thinks about the punishment of Alexius and Melia.

"I'll kill you after being thoroughly humiliated .... That's right, those two lovers are so close that I wanted to get married. Both look good, and the color-hungry mercenaries delight and commit the two .... How do you feel if your lover gets fucked while you're being fucked right in front of you? ... and then strip it naked on a donkey and expose it in Pofenia. Finally, let's bury it in a barrel full of manure and suffocate it. "

The punisher should be punished accordingly.

Blood dripping from the fist clenched by Kepka created a red stain on the carpet.

"Kepka would be angry and angry. If I was strangled and killing that ghastly at that time !!! I'm angry. I'm thinking of trying to get me alive, humiliate and kill me."

"……All right?"

"Don't worry"

Alexios smiled holding her worried Melia's shoulders, pressing her lips against her cheeks.

"I'd rather hope ... he was terribly oppressed. He was kicked and beaten many times when he was a little boy. He was pushed down into the sea, hung soup, The scars of that time were still there, and I was harassed even after I became a soldier, and without the backing of the anti-Barca family, it was no wonder he could be killed in an accident by the man …… ”

Alexios' voice contained deep hatred and anger.

Alexius' mouth angle rises.

"It's a bit childish to kill with oppressed revenge ... but otherwise I won't let you down. I'll give Kepka Barka a commendable reward ... a gift called death."

Melia looks at Alexius with such anxiety.

"... I won't talk, it's a matter of you and the Barkas. I hope revenge is up to you. But don't be trapped in revenge ....... you Is he the father of one child? "

"I know. The most important thing to me is you, my next is my beloved son, and the next is my job of defending Lezard. My grudge is just a follow-up."

Barely, his wife, children, and sense of responsibility were holding Alexius' grudge.

This would be a happy thing for Alexios.

There's nothing more stupid than reveling in the happiness right before you.

The second night.

"Hmm, May fly."

"Well, that's the classic way of attacking a castle."

Alexios and Melia surround the walls and watch the loud Pofenian army.

Raising torches, drums and whistles rang, infantry screaming, cavalry making noises, and the walls keep rolling around.

It is a measure to hinder the sleep of Lezad soldiers who are not used to combat and to exhaust them.

The night raid itself is severely attacked and is rarely performed, but the night raid is often performed.

Siege battles and cage castle battles are psychological warfare.

The demoralized one loses first.

"I'm just telling Lezard to sleep without worrying about it.

However, the human mind is not simple enough to be reassured to be relieved.

The Pofenian army's psychological attacks surely exhausted the Lezard.

third day.

"Third Corps, move immediately to the sixth spot. Seventh Corps, move to the 12th spot! Ninth Corps, the place is already good. Go to the 32nd spot to reinforce."

Alexios skips instructions one after another.

In front of Alexios is a model representing the entire battlefield.

Each time reconnaissance or messenger information comes in, the position of enemy pieces placed on the model changes.

In response to that change, Alexios also skips the instructions while moving his allies.

The battlefield changes rapidly.

If you show a little chance, Pofenian troops will invade from there.

"Sixth corps! Move to the twelfth point!"

"Captain! The sixth squad cannot move!"

"What does it mean!"

"And, it's too protruding ... I can't get a message!"

Local soldiers are desperate.

So I can't make an accurate decision.

Therefore, it often comes out a little before.

This is often the case with sophisticated troops.

This is even more so for poorly trained volunteers.

"Damn ... I can't help it. Contact the second squad! ... I can't change my back but my belly!"

Already part of the wall was occupied by Pofenian troops.

Alexios is not versatile.

Make one or two mistakes.

It is poked by Kepka and allows intrusion.

But what should be admired is Alexios's skillful tactics that he continues to protect with such strength and skill.

If it is a normal general, it has fallen as of the first day.

"T, it's hard!"

"What happened? Which place fell?"

The messenger answers Alexius' question.

"It's a flag! It's the flag of the king of Rosais! I'm heading straight!"

"... I was in time"

Alexios lightly closes his eyes.

Then he rises and raises his voice.

"Don't be afraid. Tell the whole army. Reinforcements are arriving soon.

Thus, Lezad escaped the looting of the Pofenian army.
