Near sunset.

Curry, Duke of Bertus, Kingdom of Rombert.

It has a population of over 3,000.

The defenses were simple earth and stone walls built to enclose the encampment.

Although it is simple, its height is about 1 m on average, and its thickness is about 30 cm.

A horse with a heavily armored knight is not so easy to surpass, and it has enough defense to protect itself from bows and stones.

Of course, covering the entire circumference also interferes with traffic and access to arable land, so there are more than 30 cuts in total, but all the cuts are blocked by soil, stone, wood, and so on.

The Junkel National Army, including Vasco and the Red Army, split a total of 1,200 troops into 10 or more units and attacked multiple locations in the east of the city.

This is because the number of people who ran into Curry from the Honkulu village that fell the other day was about 400.

As for the defense of the city, it was basically because it was afraid of entering the encampment and had to deploy soldiers all around the encampment.

Of course, Curry was ruled by the baron class Taichung from that scale, and it was considered that he would have his own fighting power.

However, the number of "Curry's own fighting power" is at most 100.

Of these, the number of professional soldiers, which can be said to be a permanent fighting force, was found to be about 30 at most in previous reconnaissance.

The remaining 70 servants serving in the Baron's house and their families would be completely different from amateurs, but they are considered not to extend to professional servicemen.

In other words, the Junkel Army thought that "the number of receivers defending the city of Curry is about 500, of which more than 10% are composed of people with inferior abilities as soldiers".

Of course, I never licked it because I understood that the core would be the first Knights of the Kingdom, a unit fitted with black armor that worked like a lion in the village of Honkulu.

Rather, in terms of the strength ratio, I read that this side of the Rombert Army 5 was more privileged than when the Honkulu Village was captured, saying that it was 12 reinforced with red soldiers who had almost unharmed and joined.

Of course, there was also a saying that "other villages in the neighborhood may have members of the Duke Bertels' Knights of the Tribe stationed there, as well as servicemen."

But this prophecy also says, "That's why we're not going to stop the attack." All we can do is think of them and the town's inhabitants as being expropriated, and the number of defenders is a little larger. In addition, since this operation is a goal to be achieved by the occupation of Curry, "it was eventually counted as one of the factors in planning the operation.

In addition, there was a rendezvous with the reconnaissance team against Curry who had been sent out almost simultaneously with the conquest of Honkulu Village, and information was obtained that "besides the troops who had retreated from Honkulu Village from the start of the reconnaissance to the present, there were no infinite number of combat units that entered Curry".

Based on this information, it was decided that Curry's attack would be based on dispersed attack.

The division of the troops into ten or more, and the east side instead of the entire perimeter of the village, was to buy time until the defensive forces that would have been arranged on the west side rushed in.

This is because we thought that the battle force that would be arranged in the West would have to be left somewhat to respond to attacks from the West based on common sense, and that unless we were convinced that there would be no attacks from the West, we would have to leave a considerable number.

If the Junkel army is as expected, a total of 1,200 troops will concentrate on the east side of the city, and the Rombert army will have to confront them with just over half and about 300 men at most.

Even 300 of them, the number of black armor elites is at most half or two-thirds, and at most about 10 of them could participate in the first battle.

In addition, even if there are advantages and disadvantages of the receiver and the leaner, it is an attack with a difference of four times, and it is also an attack divided into more than 10 places.

It is highly unlikely that even a small Lombert army will split its troops into ten or more.

It also means locally forcing multiple frontal operations against the oligarch Rombert army.

At worst, it seemed that only one of them would be able to break through the defenses in the first attack.

In that case, if you take that as your starting point and fall into the city, the crowd will decide.

Everyone, including Vasco, thought so, including the chief of the Junkel army and the chief of the mercenary corps.

However, the Rombert Army swallowed not only the Curry Townsfolk Knights and Servicemen, but also the young slaves living in the city, and the total number of them was about 1,000 even by mere appearance.

Moreover, the enlisted slaves were concentrated in the south and north of the city, where they were less likely to be attacked than in the east. The surviving dozens of the first knights in black armor were all placed in the east, and each led a force of dozens to take command.

In the west, he had adopted a very bold strategy of placing only a small number of guards.

Having entered the arable lands and witnessed this situation, the Junkel army has been overwhelmed by the Rombert army, which has an unexpectedly large number of troops, and demoralizes the soldiers considerably.

After all, the eastern side of the village had three times as many troops as expected.

Of course, Junkel's army was roughly expected to attack from the east side of Curry.

As a result, the Lombert army takes on the eastern side.

Junkel's army had predicted this.

However, the number of troops defending the east side of the city is roughly 400. Having enough troops on the east side means that the total fighting power to protect Curry is not as much as the original estimate of 500 or 1,000.

Rather than triple it, it was comparable to 80% of our strength.

Still, we won't be able to stop the attack now, and it will take time to notify all units of the change in strategy.

If I was bad, I might not be able to attack today.

Only about one-third to 400 enemy forces are still deployed on the east side of the city.

Even if there was a little redeployment from the north and south of the city, it was not a big deal to be able to travel in time for the attack.

Considering that, less than half of us.

It's hard to blame you for exceeding those expectations and not being able to read up to the extreme deployment of your forces.

As a result, either side of the Junkel army failed to break through the defensive lines laid by the Rombert kingdom army and retreated to the edge of the arable land at dusk.

Of course, those who were properly counted as the battle force on the battlefield were more than double the number of Junkel's troops against the Lombard army of about 500, so if you kept pushing hard, you would have managed to break through some defensive positions one day.

But we still need a lot of time to make it happen.

After all, the black armor that commanded the boss was still in fearsome skillful alignment, and the command was accurate, so no one could defeat it in today's battle.

There are more than 100 people who suffered from this damage.

According to the reports of the soldiers, the damage inflicted on the Rombert side was as severe as 60 years.

This is the case after setting up an advantageous situation.

When it comes to battle results, the real numbers are usually less than the number reported.

"I guess I lost today... but..."

However, it had been discovered that the Lombard soldiers who were supposed to rush in as reinforcements rarely took part in the battle, and that the weapons in their hands were mainly poor spears, and few people even wore armor satisfactorily.

We lose, but we can also say that we lost because we were blinded by our maneuver.

"Yes, I didn't take the lead in the battle."

Those who try to maintain the morale of their soldiers by fighting with others.

"Tomorrow will be a force push from the front honestly." Take a good rest tonight and save your strength. "

Those who say that and give a sense of security with a calm attitude.

There are many of them in the Junkel army.

While Vasco treated his subordinates in a similar manner, he was thinking of something completely different.

- That armor. It still looked like metal armor (plate mail) in the distance, but perhaps it was made of plastic just like a shield? "If I could capture some of them, I'd be clear..." But it's plastic... hahaha... I think it's just a rebirth just like me.

It reminds me of the feel of the shield I touched the other day.

--that looked stiff. There were many car bumpers, electrical appliance housings and hard plastics. Even the thickness is not comparable to that. That shield was about three inches thick, wasn't it? The surface was also quite smooth... can you even fight swords and spears? I'm going to test it.

I don't know, but I have a serious face.

--Does that mean there's someone in Lombardy who can make such an advanced thing?... Then, where I won here, something like that is temporary. If you have enough skill to make plastic armor and mass-production, you can make anything else useful... I guess you're making it. It's like plastic.

You'll soon have an envious face.

- I don't think you're in Curry, but you're eating like an engineer. Whatever it takes, I can only think of a future in which the Junkel army will eventually lose. After all, it's been years, no matter how long I think about it.

Since yesterday, there were similar thoughts, and the Red Army did not make a big difference in today's battle, but the damage only caused a few serious injuries.

--When that happens...

Without even realizing that Tania had stopped by, Vasco began to immerse himself in his thoughts.



October 3, 7451

After visiting the training of the Knights of the Count of Lancel in Baraise, the capital of the Midwest Dart region (Count Lancel Territory), and giving a lot of advice and instructions, we are on our way to the next destination, the Midwest Dart region (Count Dressler Territory).

At a point on the Wyssus Road that leads to Debaken, we passed the place where we met Mi Mi Mi, which had turned into an undead.

Every time I passed through this neighborhood, I used life-sensing (Detect Life) magic for no reason at all because I couldn't stop thinking about it.

It was about six months ago, but personally, it was a pretty shocking incident, so I can't forget how she looked.

Of course, Draugle's giants, the members of the former Green Corps "Verdegli Brotherhood", and Daybus's court mage will not be forgotten.

I stopped and looked around.

Immediately after that, the bodies of Draugles scattered throughout the area were completely cleared and the streets cleaned.

It's only natural that it's been cleared up, but it must have been a bone to carry so many corpses somewhere and burn them or bury them.

At that time, in addition to the draughts I disposed of, Mi-mi's self-harm (?) The number of undead made is 1000 or more.

Most of them were the inhabitants of the city called Girzen, which is all the way north.

I don't think they wanted to be undead.

Although it is unclear what manners were used, the innocent inhabitants of Girzen were forced to become undead-dragged against their will by Mi Mile, the court sorcerer of Daybus, or members of the Lembal's former Green Corps "Verdegli Brotherhood".

Whoever did this, I think Gilzen's fate is worse than being attacked and killed.

I suspect it was Mi-mi's doing.

I hadn't even felt a shard of affection towards her, but I only felt sympathy for her.

Obviously, I wasn't married, so I was engaged.

Moreover, I was forced to contend with my real sisters and my wife.

Well, it seems that she ultimately had her own will, so whatever happened, if she wanted to marry me herself, I knew she had to accept it because of her relationship with the Kingdom.

I was serious about accepting her and marrying her.

There was also a need to show pride and honor as a nobleman, and since I decided to be prepared, I spared no time or expense.

Why did she become an undead or something?

Sometimes I tried to think that it was because of Death Knight, the court mage of Daybus, but after a while I didn't know.

Berthe, who was accompanying me from Beglitz, came down from the horse and looked around in the same way.

Seeing us with such a strange feeling, you can see that the people of the old Purgatory Flame (Gehenna Flair) have also begun to descend from their horses.

Bath and I stayed in line for a while.

I know he and I think very differently, but I think we have something in common.

"Let's go."

As she murmured, she hung her legs on Uranus' neck.
