Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

"First of all, is it like this?"

I watch the train trains organized.

The train unit has 2,000 soldiers and 200 carriages. Four hundred horses.

It is a fine organization.

If there were 400 horses, Rosward and Bartolo were opposed to adding 400 more cavalry, but ...

There are already over a thousand cavalry.

With reinforcements from Mzio more and more promising, he believes that strengthening cavalry is unnecessary for the time being.

It is more important to secure supplies.

The battlefield used to be in the neighborhood, but now it can go far.

A train unit should be organized for that time and the know-how should be accumulated.

"Your Majesty!"

As I turned my mind, a guard on a horse from afar came on.

The guard broke down at a distance of twenty meters from me, and trotting to me.

"What happened?"

"I'm sorry during your administration. I received a letter from King Evil."

I receive a letter from the guards.

Break the seal and check inside.

......

......

Should I say a chance or say I wanted to wait a little longer ...

"Start the ethnic council. Immediately tell the ethnic groups around you."

"Yes!!"

"This time, you're the only one who has gathered. It's about the conflict between King Evil and King Zoldias. Some of you may have heard about it ... I'll explain it once."

"Yes"

Iar stands up and reads a prepared document.

"The story goes back three years to the conflict between King Evil and King Zoldias. At that time, we were in war with King Evil. He put pressure on King Evil and succeeded in peace. ''

This is the background that everyone already knows, and the beginning of Ial's career.

At that time, if King Zoldias did not move, the siege would not have survived.

"After peace with Japan, the kingdom of King Evil and the kingdom of Zordias were in a state of war. , And at that time, some royal family turned over to the kingdom of Zoldias.

As soon as the country is in crisis, it turns to the enemy ...

However, to the royal family, there is a situation that they must do so to protect their homes and territories.

I can't blame you.

"This war is the beginning of the kingdom of Evil invading the territory of King Zoldias to recover the lost ground."

Leaving the land forever is a matter of dignity as a king.

You may not care about dignity, but being resilient to war alone leads to centripetal force.

If the centripetal force is lost, the royal family will quickly leave the royal family.

Well, it's not really relevant to our country today.

"King Evil continued his assault and, for a time, climbed into the kingdom of the kingdom of Zoldias, but King Zoldias took advantage of his country's complex terrain to launch a surprise attack on King Evil's army. It is said that King Evil was destroyed, then invaded by King Zoldias, and is now besieging the royal capital. ''

Well, in summary, it is King Evil's own business.

However, King Evil had the benefit of having his reinforcements recruited during the last Conquest of the Third South.

In spite of the fact that it did not help, it did offer some diplomatic advantage.

Don't be afraid to forsake, and overlook the kingdom of Zoldias.

So why not fight against the kingdom of Zoldias?

That was today's agenda.

Well ... no need to discuss.

The war with King Zoldias's kingdom is a decision, since it has been a decision in me.

There is no need for a tribal meeting, but we will discuss it for the first time and take a resolution.

He is courtesy of the royal family.

By the way, only those who have a territory or those who had a territory are allowed to participate in the royal conference.

Newcomer nobles Ains and Alexios are not participating.

"Do you have an opinion?"

I look around.

First, Raymond, Bartolo, and Iar agreed.

Next is Ron, Rosward, and Gram.

In the end, the royal family showed their support one after another and passed safely.

Thus the first Zoldian war began.

The Zoldias army seems to be about 7,000.

From the past cases, it is expected that the total force of the Zoldias Army will be around 10,000 ...

Considering the remaining troops to defend the country, it can be said that the kingdom of the king of Zoldias now has all the power.

By the way, the number of soldiers recruited by Japan was 18,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry (of which 700 were national troops and 1,300 were allied troops including the Alva).

About three times the enemy.

Until now, there were three choices: better, barely better, or worse than the enemy, but finally you can challenge the enemy with a force difference several times greater than the enemy.

It is a great advance.

However……

"I don't know much about the kingdom of Zoldias."

"I don't know the details, because I have never been involved so far ..."

The kingdom of Rossais has recently said that it is a small country in the middle of southern Adernia, shortly before.

I'll do my best with my own country and the ones around it.

Information becomes ambiguous if it becomes a neighbor of a neighbor.

He recently trained on the Kingdom of Roselle and dispatched sorcerers around the country to gather information, but his experience is still inexperienced and has not been successful.

"I've heard that most of the country is mountainous, so its agricultural productivity is low, but it also has the technology to produce ironware, and it produces abundant iron sand. In addition, the people make their living mainly through livestock and hunting. So brave. That military power is a threat ...?

Many countries in the Adernian Peninsula use the Christian phalanx, but king Zoldias seems to be different. Probably because the land is only mountains.

It seems that short spears and swords are the main weapons for easy handling in the mountains.

In that respect, it is similar to our country.

"I've heard that King Zoldias is a good fighter. At one time he was honored alongside His Majesty."

The reason for temporary ( ) is that now my evaluation is overwhelmingly high.

That's it.

Well, the war is the achievement of 90% Bartolo.

"My Majesty, Zoldias is good. It actually produces copper."

It is Ains who put his mouth from the side.

Ains can't lead the army, but they are good at preparing supplies and weapons.

This time he is following as a service merchant.

Service merchants are merchants who follow the army to the battlefield and sell food, weapons, sake and women.

They also sell captured POWs as slaves.

It's mostly selfish, but I hired it only this time.

The kingdom of Zoldias is a bit far away and unknown.

Just keep in mind.

Japan's train service has not yet relied on.

"Copper? I haven't heard of it."

Copper is an important strategic material.

In addition to being used as a material for bronze ware, it is widely distributed as money.

Copper may be more important in some cases because it is used in everyday life than gold or silver.

If copper is known to be produced, it may be more famous.

"It's a simple story. The production is small. There is no technology to dig copper in the king of Zordias. If you look for technology abroad, you may be able to dig it. The traditional kingdom of Zoldias would not have thought of digging copper before inviting foreigners, so only some merchants accidentally went to the kingdom of King Zoldias, To buy ... is that much. "

So if you have the technology ...

"I think it's a reasonable reserve. After all, it's just shaving off the surface exposed right now. It's still producing as it is ..."

Copper or ...

Copper is not produced in our country.

All copper coins in circulation are imported.

In fact, the only thing that can be dug in Japan is salt.

Recently, iron can be dug from occupied territories.

I thought he was jealous of Gehenna where he could dig gold.

If you can get copper ...

"By the way, where is the copper mine?"

If you are too deep in the kingdom of Zoldias, you won't get it ...

"It's a bit deeper than the border with King Evil's country."

It's a subtle place

You won't get anything if you win ...

"In any case, I have to save King Evil first. Bartolo, I asked you."

"Please leave me, Your Majesty"

The rescue of King Evil itself was successful without any hassle.

For as soon as our army appeared, the Zoldias retreated as if the waves had retreated.

I know the trick.

"Hey, he came well. His Majesty King Almus. Thanks so much."

"No no ... it's natural to help a friend."

I and King Evil shake hands.

It is determined by ad-hoc interests, such as friendship between countries.

"Well, let's first have a dinner.

"So what's the cause?"

I grabbed the meat of the main dish sheep and listened straightforwardly.

King Evil smiles bitterly.

"I hear clearly."

"Because you can't fight otherwise"

King Evil wipes his hand with a cloth and then puts his hand under his chin.

"Speaking of all, it means that he was put into King Zoldias ..."

"Is it fitted?"

King Evil quietly nodded.

"As my army marched, the Zoldias retreated sporadically and gradually retreated. At that time, I misjudged that I was still winning ... We had very few soldiers stolen, and the enemy continued to flee using the terrain, preserving our mainstays. "

He went up to the suburbs of the capital and was surprised when he was off guard.

"Suddenly, the enemy was sneaking behind. Shortly afterwards, reports came that enemy forces were approaching from both the right and left. When we turned back and withdrew, the enemy's main force continued to escape It was like a lie ... I guess it wasn't a lie. After slowly invading our territory, we allowed the invasion to the capital ... King Almus, if you didn't come to rescue, our country might have been destroyed.

"It is a threat that Zoldias is intensifying even in Japan. I'm going to do some moxibustion. Will you cooperate?"

"Of course, we are willing to cooperate. If we don't give the Zodiaz kid a loss equal to the loss of our army, we can't sleep with the pillows high."

I shook hands with King Evil.

The hands were slightly greasy with fat.

...... I felt regret in my heart.
