In the evening.

Jallow Village, Duke of Bertels, Kingdom of Rombert.

In the woods next to it.

Zess and the others are hiding and watching the village.

It is not about hunting beasts for food, but about nuts and fruits that have finally begun to ripen.

- Tch, acorns have a tannic taste... if you eat them anyway, it's better to eat them half digested in the stomach bags of white-haired deer (White Deer) and mountain boar (Mountain Boar)...

The three orcs that were following as minions were beside the horrible Zess, and they ate the acorns silently without complaining.

"You. Go back to your hometown and get the babies and the rest of the mothers." Hurry up. "

When Zeth commands his orcs, a single orc nods and runs out.

"You and I are the road ahead of that village... keep an eye on the road we came back from." Let me know when the humans come back. "

The two remaining orcs also nodded and ran away in the opposite direction.

- The army in this country is much weaker than in the south, probably because they don't have the Dark Elves.

The army that Zess had opposed in the past (even though it was only a Lyle Kingdom merchant) was a skilled and skilful team.

Not only is it good at white soldiers, but even if there are five augers with a certain amount of thinking ability, they can be wiped out.

Zess imagines that even if she hits with that much force, she will be able to defeat only one person, and it will be the first time to compete since the number of Augur is about five times the number of Dark Elves.

We have traveled to this northern land to avoid such a dangerous army and to create a more prey-friendly environment.

Initially, the human army thought that there would be no significant difference in strength between the Dark Elves, but it has carefully observed a situation where something warlike is about to begin.

As a result, he came to the conclusion that “the Dark Elves' armies are too special, and nothing else is serious.”

In addition, I was not sure of this conclusion until now, but I had originally predicted it.

Whatever you do, you should do what is right when you are more confident than you can do.

The number of troops in Auschwitz is not very different compared to the same time on Earth.

For this, Zeth had reached the correct answer in the great mediocre.

The amount of crops that can be harvested from arable land is not as small as in Japan before Zess's reincarnation.

In addition, agriculture still appears to be mostly carried out by manpower.

It seems that there is no fertilizer, but since chemical fertilizer cannot be produced, its performance will be quite low compared to that of products purchased at agricultural associations and home centers in Japan, and since compost from livestock and human waste seems to be the mainstream, the effect is not likely to be stable.

And the population per square meter is low, so the labor force is not compared to the planet before reincarnation.

At least the population density should be lower than in pre-reincarnation Russia.

Since settlements tend to be formed around places that are suitable for agriculture on the terrain, the distance between the village and the village is not very close.

Even if there is a somewhat better place to build a city, it is impossible to increase it dramatically in a short period of time because the opening of farmland involves a great deal of difficulty.

Therefore, the population in the vicinity is quite small and easy to head off.

If transportation and distribution are developed and developed like the earth, there is still salvation, but it is difficult to transport the harvest at a distance above a certain distance due to the small number of large livestock, and the logistics cost must become expensive.

Considering the information that Zess has obtained since his rebirth and up to now, the number of standing armies that the Austrian government can have is at most a few thousand below.

Of course, since it is the premise of garrisoning in one location, I understand that if the garrison that should be said to be the base of the army can be divided into several locations, the story will change again.

In short, since the forces that attacked Jallow Village are moving troops that are well over 1,000, large-scale reinforcements will not come so easily.

And the forces that have been attacked far east of Jarrow, far east of Besso, have no reason to suddenly send their forces past Besso to reclaim Jarrow.

- Fufufu. It looks like there are still a few hundred people left in that village, and it's a resupply base. "It's only natural that there should be more to share..."

Currently, those who are under the command of Zeth have 30 orcs and 50 hobgoblins. 100 Goblins, 80 Cobalt, 40 Nord. And the auger is about 50. In total, it has swelled to 350.

Of these, more than 90% are capable of bending in battle.

Of course, if you attack that village, there will be resistance, so there will be sacrifices, but there is not a quarter of the total population that can fight with humans compared to orcs and other subcultures.

The number of people who can handle weapons such as swords and spears will be even lower, but considering that there are still 50 soldiers in that village, it seems that there is no way to resist the 300 or more subhumans with the auger as the main axis.



October 1, 7451

One day after leaving the village of Besso, the Basco Red Army and part of the Junkel County Army joined the Augur Corps and the Count Army that had fallen the Honkel Village around five centimeters east of the city of Curry, where the Ronbert Kingdom Army, which was defending the Honkel Village, had fled.

In this operation, the goal is to capture Curry and bring it under the control of the Priory.

If we have enough power to fall into that city, we can plunder more, but I don't think we have enough soldiers in the Rock.

As a Vasco, I want to get back to Hesquez, where the Red Soldiers' families are waiting, as soon as I can capture it and get anything I can easily take.

I guess it was just under 500 that escaped.

Said Zaboin Nephil, who led the Augur Regiment in a tent erected as a temporary seat for the military.

Zaboin's words were affirmed by all the commanders of the country who participated in the attack on the village of Honkulu with him.

Based on their reports and information gathered from previous reconnaissance, etc., it was estimated that the number of people defending the city of Curry would be about 600.

Of course, it was reported that our invasion and the occupation of the three villages of Jallow, Honkulu, and Besso would increase if we left them alone, but reinforcements did not arrive immediately.

At present, according to information from prisoners obtained at the time of capture of Honkulu Village, the Rombert Kingdom had read about the possibility of Junkel's country progressing, but it seemed that the expected time was about a month.

Considering that, it would take two weeks or more for the reinforcements from the Rombert Kingdom to arrive here, no matter how hard they try, and even after those two weeks, it would be a convenient time for Rombert to think about it.

"Even now, at the foot of the Demacar Mountains, diversionary forces continue to attack the Rombert settlement." The troops who were defending Honkulu originally seemed to be stationed in Frakis, and it seems that about 100 of the troops who remained in Frakis were reluctant to respond to our recreational activities..... "

Vasco and Zaboin nodded to the words of the captain, who was tying up the cavalry of the count's army.

"...... Rombert must have read our movements and moved his troops, but at any rate... I don't know what to do."

The Honkulu Village defense facility seemed to have been conceived and constructed, but the sense of impetuosity could not be removed, and there were no proper defense units in place, such as the Besso Village, which Vasco had attacked.

Of course, the village of Jallow was the first to be captured.

The Honkulu Village was the only place nearby where the defense force could have been deployed in time.

Indeed, the Augur Regiment and the Earl's Army that attacked the village of Honkulu suffered as much damage as they did.

The number of attacks on the opponent was doubled, and the fact that he suffered as much damage as the opponent meant that he was half of the opponent if it was expressed in Kill Ratio.

Considering that, it's no exaggeration to say that if we hit the field instead of a base strategy like this, we will lose.

But it's war that takes that part into account, assembles the number of people, and plans the plan.

No matter how bravely the Rombert side fought to win the battle, it failed its defense and retreated, so no matter what assessment is made, this invasion can be said to be a victory for Junkel.

Well then, tomorrow at 14: 00, all units will attack at once, okay?

Everyone replies to the Cavalry Captain's words.

Well then, Captain, I'm counting on you to take care of my heavy cavalry.

Vasco felt uncomfortable with Zaboin's words.

If I recall correctly, the Augur Army's heavy cavalry would have been commanded by Zaboine's son, Tux, who is a mercenary, as long as he doesn't have to.

Not to mention, I could do whatever I wanted in the city I invaded. It would be even more amazing if it was a battle like this.

Looking at Vasco in a fashion, Zaboin did not change his expression and said, "Tax was killed in action. There were also quite a few other cavalry owners..." he said in a low voice.

Vasco wasn't the only one who stared at the words.

And the captain who took down the village of Besso with him.

At first, I heard that the Honkulu Village suffered fierce resistance and caused a total of about 100 deaths and serious injuries, but I didn't know that it included so many people.

If you ask in a hurry, the strength lost by the Augur Regiment is about 30 infantry men, or 10 cavalry men, which is equivalent to 20% of the cavalry.

The National Army said that out of 110 cavalry, 25 had about 35 infantry.

Considering the number of heads alone, the Augur Regiment and the Burj Khalifa have suffered about 10% of the damage, but considering the percentage of the damage in fact, the cavalry has caused more damage.

--The Augur Cavalry is so weak... no, even more damaging than the Berry Cavalry. Was the opponent wrong?

When asked in detail, the cavalry of the Lombert Kingdom was quite skilled despite the widows, and the number defeated itself was about ten riders.

"When that happens..."

"The number of Rombert's cavalry is about thirty, right?" This is more than five times that, and instead of destroying 160 people... what do you mean by damages that exceed the total number of opponents...? "

The captain who took down the village of Besso with him was exhausted.

The captains of the Honkulu Village Capture Squadron, including Zaboin, all looked reluctant.

- You're a total loser!

Vasco couldn't help but twitching and twitching half his face.

But if you calm down and think about it (?) It can be said that the damage to the infantry units has been reduced.

--The damage to the infantry is not so light as to be negligible... no, it's a strategic strategy of the city, and given that there won't be many opportunities in the field, should we be happy that the damage to the infantry has been contained...?

I think so, Vasco, but if the city is occupied by a larger population than the village, then in a sense, it's better to take out enemy field units.

If you look at the forces and mercenaries in Ossetia, battle is just a process, and looting is the main business.

Nevertheless, it is also true that we want to reduce the factors that stumble in the process.

"Anyway, be careful with those black metal armor (plate mail) guys." I thought it might be Rombert's elite forces because they made up the cavalry with matching armor, but according to the prisoners, they were Rombert's elite, the First Knights. ”

Vasco could not hear the words of one of the captains of the Honkulu village.

Black metal armor (plate mail)... wasn't it Commander class?

During Vasco's reconnaissance of Mount Demacar, it seemed that the Rombert soldiers in black armor were not riding and were in command of the infantry.

"Of course, there are commanders, but as far as I can tell, the black ones were all cavalry." It wasn't the black cavalry that commanded the infantry. "

Zaboin also seems to understand Vasco's questions and is quick to answer them.

- What do you mean? You had infantry patrolling the mountains with a cavalryman who wasn't a commander? For what purpose did you bother to imitate me like that...?

In common sense, a unit composed only of cavalry is still not common, but its maneuverability, attack power, and breakthrough power are attractive, and there is no one who cannot think of it as a soldier.

And not only in the Kingdom of Lombardy, but also in various countries, many units of similar character have been created so far.

Usually a mix of knights, spearmen, and flag bearers means there are many cavalry units, but there are also units made up of purely cavalry.

In any case, such a formation is also considered in Junkerland, and it already exists as a fact that the number is small, including the heavy cavalry of the Augur Regiment.

Sometimes it's hard to find expensive military horses, and we just can't collect a lot of them.

I made up a unit of cavalry, and most of them weren't commanders, they were just soldiers on horses.

As the saying goes, it is common sense to configure the cavalry only with knights who often become high ranks in the army.

In the modern army, it's more than a lieutenant.

Whether you use tanks, self-propelled guns, or other vehicles, it's close to saying that you assembled such units in a battle unit that fights on the ground.

The question was answered immediately.

"Rombert's First Knights are unusual." It was organized by pulling out the elite knights (...) from each Knight Regiment. Everything is said to be a superior knight, ranking higher than a normal knight. "

Nodding to the words of the captain, Vasco said, "Does such an elite fight on the front lines with his troops? I couldn't get rid of the feeling of being stupid."

However, if they say that they are, they will not have any solid refutational material, and they will have to be convinced by force.

No, I have to take command of the Red Soldier on the premise that this is the case.

Yeah, no, I decided to use the shield they were using because it's pretty good.

One of the captains proudly showed me the black shield.

Except for the metal around the shield, it was a regular black kite shield.

On the surface, there is a relief-like crest that looks like the original owner's family crest.

It looked like something superior inside, and Vasco got his hands on it.

"What the hell!?"

--This is not plastic!?



October 2, 7451

Frakis, the second city of the Duke of Bertels of the Kingdom of Rombert.

Miroux twisted his head at the Northern Royal Army Command in the garrison.

Today, there is still information that a village has been attacked.

From her commander in the North, Lord Lardock, she said, "You don't have to do this until reinforcements arrive. However, we have to think in advance about what to do after the reinforcements arrive."

That said, Miroux's character is not silent until reinforcements arrive, according to reports that settlements in the Kingdom are being attacked by other countries.

I had no idea how to defend myself with my knights, who were my temporary subordinates today.

Well, I guess it's impossible to protect the villages that are scattered in the mountains for more than 40 minutes.

Sir Lardock's network of adventurers and hunters is working fine for now.

However, since most of the garrisoned combat units were sent to Jallow Village in preparation for the invasion of the Junkel Empire, Milu's remaining number of combat units was only six.

The 100 members of the 21st Company of the 4th Knight Regiment who remain here as outgoing troops are not under the command of Milu, and in the first place, they are a completely separate unit entrusted by Lord Lardock with the defense of "Frakis" as the Frakis defense force.
