Episode 45: The Arkland War ② The Battle of the People
"Slash those who resist! Don't lay a hand on the people. Especially treat women gently!
My battalion is crossing the border to the Arkland side and attacking the villages I've noticed.
Attacking doesn't mean burning down the village and slaughtering and killing the villagers.
All you have to do is kick the guards, burn the Lords' Hall, and flank the Goldonian royal flag.
There's no point in doing this, but if you burn the Lords' Hall in front of the people, they're going to discredit the Arkland royal prestige.
We're going down the street ahead of the main unit, and we're in charge of reconnaissance.
As soon as an insurmountable enemy appears, it is calculated to send out an early horse and flee to a discrete location.
"There's a Gordonian pig! Ready!"
I raised my temper and blew the knight's hands off and kicked him in the foot.
I wonder if he's one of us, all three more jumping out of a small stone fort.
"I see you as a famous general!" "Our three strongest members of the Moot Village Guard!" "Guaaaaaaa!!
He's got a long mouth, so I'm gonna smash one of you up before it's over.
Then Celia, who jumped out of my side, waved her sword twice and jumped back.
A few moments later blood erupted from the throats of the two men and collapsed.
"Are you hurt?
"I won't let that comedy actor take me down. Are we clear?
"Yes, because we didn't have a lot of troops."
The Lords' Hall in this village was like a half castle, but the intrusion is enough to prepare the villagers for rebellion.
They were about to be engulfed in fireworks, without confrontation when they shot firearrows in from all around them.
A ridden knight pops out of the fire.
Probably the lord knight of this village. Just as many were defenseless, he was put up with a spear all over his body where he slashed one infantry and died.
The hall is already burning, and you won't live with your family.
"Call the people's representatives. Let the flag fly."
The villagers had been gathered in one place in the village.
Nothing. I'm not saying what I'm going to do, because when I stay home, I can't tell the difference between the rest of the party and the people.
"It is in the village chief... for whatever reason, life is only..."
"If you're going to kill me, I'm doing it. Raise the flag at the entrance of the village and at the centre of the village. And tonight we camp here. Do you have any open spaces?
"In this village, are you there?
The village chief shows his threatened face.
It is a village with not a hundred people, if ten times as many soldiers are nearby, you will be anxious, but the day is already tilting.
Well can be used and convenient near the village.
I wasn't even going to take into account their anxiety.
I have no intention of engaging excessively with the villagers.
Enough, let the village chief back down and call Celia to the side.
"They may betray us and let Arkland know where we are."
That's not true.
All villages are considered traitors at a time when troops are allowed to garrison inside the village and are being allowed to fly the flag.
If you call the army, you will see them all killed yourself.
"Don't worry. We'll just leave when the sun rises. Go to sleep, too."
But Celia won't leave me.
I sat in bed and came between my legs as I looked up with my moist eyes.
"Please take it easy. I'll do it all."
I heard Celia calling from the outside as she pulled her male roots out of her pants and opened her mouth trying to squeeze.
"Captain, I'm sorry to be late at night, but I need to talk to you."
Celia hits me in the tongue, but I can't even tell you to wait because I'm getting a mouthjob.
Coming in from the tent is a woman, still young but with a tight face that looks smart.
And what stands out is a huge breast, not nearly as big as nonna, but rarely seen in a whorehouse.
"I say [Yoguri], daughter of the village chief. I've been talking to the captain..."
It's unnatural to talk to me in a respectful tone, but you're not used to it.
"I thought you told the village chief there was no more talk?
……
Celia is also staring to go home.
"It's easy to talk about. It means I'll fight with you."
What is this woman talking about?
"We were tormented by the present king. But we have very little teeth in the kingdom's army alone.
If you can destroy them, it's on everyone. "
I've also seen Arkland villagers bee up in groups quite a while back.
There are also old men and women and children in this village, only one young man is ill and unable to move, and they are all frightened if there is not enough food.
It is obvious that we are in a harsh environment.
"But as the people rise up, is the summariser the village chief?
It didn't look like he had that courage.
"No, I'm not. My father was a village chief for once, but he doesn't have that kind of temper. I usually decide what to do with this village. That's why I'm the summary."
Me and Celia look sinister.
The peasants' bees are interesting in the sense of disturbing the country, but I didn't really think they would be a decent force for war.
I also don't see any point in replenishing them with water or food that only serves as a wall of meat.
Old men and women will not follow us on their feet and march slowly.
Yoguri took off all her clothes when she opened her mouth to say no.
"What are you going to do?
"I wonder if hostages to be trusted, and later, contributions to your mood"
My hand reaches out to Yogri's splendid chest as she strips away everything and looms, but Celia bursts from the side.
"Rude! If I hold a slut like you, I'll be proud of you, Mr. Agil."
"Ouch...... sluts are my virgins, right? Captain, don't you want to try ripping virgins off?
I'd love to, but if I keep Celia and hold this woman, she could try to assassinate me.
"Now hold on, I'll discuss what you guys are saying in the squad. Get dressed and go back."
"Is it now... Dear Agil..."
If you think about it, you'll have conceded to the flesh of a virgin.
"Wouldn't it be nice"
"I don't know about driving people into battle, but it's going to be a symbol."
Wake up Leoporto and Agor to discuss Yogri's proposal.
We both seem to agree unexpectedly, so I'll ask why.
Agor first.
"Bringing them in will spread our righteousness with the people on our side. It would be most useless on the battlefield, so we need to lower it back..."
Next up is Leoporto.
"They are also useful purely militarily. People are like rolling snowballs, if a hundred moves, a thousand moves, and if a thousand moves, a thousand moves. If we bring the people of this village together, there will be more participants and more people from other distressed and disgruntled villages. Any immature soldier can use it quite a bit if the numbers are right.
"But when the numbers gather, there's no food to sustain it, is there?
"Let me bring some food from my village. If it's a sign, we'll buy the objection, but if we eat it ourselves, it's no big deal. If it doesn't go on, you just have to hit the right enemy unit and wear it out."
"You did that again!
Agor eats and hangs, but Leoporto keeps going without worrying.
"Either way, the very fact that we move jointly with the people is a threat to our enemies. At any rate, the hotbeds of insurgency are all over the country. The enemy is forced to deal with it as quickly as possible and hasten the showdown, and that alone makes sense."
"Whether you hit an enemy or not, it's a decision to take you walking. Let only those with some strength follow you from behind because it impairs your marching speed."
There seemed to be no difference between the two and I nodded small.
Celia is the only one who seems unsatisfied, but doesn't seem to speak to military decisions.
"I don't have time to ask Eirich. Do you want to make an arbitrary ex post report only…"
It would be okay for him to say a little impossibility.
"If they are denied, let them come on their own and let their enemies wipe them out"
Return to your personal tent by announcing the end of the meeting listening to Leopold say Agor to the rest of his remarks.
"So, do you commit?
"Celia, don't talk nasty"
I want you to be clean forever.
"It's been a while since you've eaten a virgin."
Celia has a pretty good idea of my sex life.
I'll assume that's because we've been together for so long.
"I don't eat. He's the head of the people who could be cut off if he goes badly. It's not until the war clears up that you take it away. And you have an appointment, right?
Celia's grumpy face changes brightly.
"Leave it to me! You can't beat that pussy girl."
You must be a pussy too.
That night I made the villagers stay in the same tent to make me think Yogri had become my woman but didn't touch a finger and just show Celia's intense mouth moves.
Yogri stared blushing and eating at the familiar affair the younger girl showed.
When I put the firing sperm in my mouth for a little while, I complain of bitterness with my face.
These initial reactions are also adorable.
At dawn of the night, my battalion is ready to leave.
The group of villagers led by Yogri, (who for convenience decided to be prostitutes) numbered about fifty, almost all of them, except those whose years went too far, too young children and the infirm who could not move, armed with farming equipment, bows for hunting and wooden hammers, without armor.
"If we take this much, the village will collapse. This is war, we can't all go home alive, can we?
"Be prepared. Even as it is, the village will perish anyway. Guys, I want to bet on the possibility of survival if I die slowly."
Sometimes I don't care if I say so much.
You can choose your own way of dying.
"All units out! Make your scheduled course for each squadron!
According to Yogri's information, there are small villages dotted up ahead and a relatively large town a day goes by.
First is the plan to have each village raided by each squadron and assembled in front of the town.
The engineers let the 1st Cavalry Squadron, under my direct command, accompany them.
It's an organization that kills the mobility of the cavalry, but this time it won't fight in a way that runs, so there's no problem.
The prostitutes decided to disperse in each squadron and show themselves in each village.
"Wow......"
Yoguri leaks his voice.
The villages attacked were considerably larger than the villages of Yogri, with about 150 inhabitants, and many soldiers packing in the halls of their lords.
But from 200 cavalry, it's just a difference between the size of an ant.
I've crushed it.
Only about ten minutes of battle turned the soldier into a wreck, and the lord was captured and strangled on the spot.
With the burning lord's hall on my back, I announce the occupation of the village.
This is where Yoguri comes in.
"I can't take the time. Convince him in an hour."
"Gentlemen! I..."
Whether it was a good idea to instantly finish off the soldiers of the Lords, or because the heavily armed cavalry lined up seemed brave, some people join the brave army, but the response is duller than that of the village of Yogri.
"You can't beat the King's Iron Spear Cavalry... if you lose, you'll kill them all..."
"Which way did you burn the Lords' Hall and prepare to run away?
Hiccups and villagers talk.
Fear of kings and armies is stained with years of domination.
It took a big victory for them to believe in us in earnest.
"It's less than I thought, but I wasn't counting on it that much more than I had. You won't be spending any more time on it."
I agree with Leopold.
If we don't get to the target town by the end of the day, we'll be out of line with the other squadrons.
"Let's go! If you have your share of food, continue with the squad."
According to Yogri, the town that was the goal, [the town of Datron], we arrived in the suburbs only after the day and the night were completely tilted.
The other squadrons have already arrived.
All three squadrons apparently took control of the village without any problems.
"The prostitutes have gathered quite a bit."
All the prostitutes combined to about 300, more than one squadron.
It may only be about a shield in battle...
"The villagers have also offered women hostages, but you don't mind if I take them, do you?
Beside Carl is a woman who is comfortable with him, looking up at him with her hot eyes and barking her breath.
You won't have to ask me if I already have it.
"There is discipline. Stay where you see it."
I don't care what kind of mouth Celia looks at me with.
The top is arrogant.
"Well, most importantly, the attack on the town in front of you"
There is still quite a distance, but the town created on the plain is not the same size as the villages it has been before.
According to Yogri, there are nearly 2,000 inhabitants, and nobles who control the area as the central presence of the surrounding villages set up a hall, with about 300 soldiers from time to time.
Our engineers, with the exception of prostitutes, have a real strength of 800, arguably an overwhelming advantage.
"It's tough to attack."
There are stones piled around the town and wooden watchtowers can be seen everywhere.
It was not fenced to the extent of beast removal, as in previous villages, but equipped with full-scale city walls.
You'll have to be prepared for considerable damage to make this a force attack, as Leopold put it.
"Why don't you surround yourself and shoot with a fire arrow?
"In the end the damage will be greater as the enemy arrows that stand on the wall arrive first. And if you burn every town, you won't be able to use the strategy of gathering brave men."
Surely it might not be a good idea to burn down every townsman.
"So, shall we wait for the follow-up? Wait three days and we'll catch up. If they do, will they also run or surrender?"
Agor is right, both the town and the city walls are rubbed to this extent for the main unit, which also has a siege weapon.
But then there's no point in us getting ahead.
Let the main unit form a formation, and that's all the march will be delayed if we get them ready to attack.
I wanted to clean up this place just my battalion.
"No, we just want to get rid of it. I don't know what I can do."
"When you can't use force or fire, you can only send an intermediate to open the gate..."
I'm thinking of Agor, but he doesn't seem to have a name.
"Shall we let the enemy open the gates?"
Leoporto opens his mouth.
It's you at times like this, I'm counting on you.
"First, tonight, I'm going to put a ton of pine lights on the carriage and make you walk. This makes you think most of our troops have moved."
That would be easy.
"The next day, all you can see from that town is to the hill where we are now, so if you lay down your soldiers on the other side of the hill, you won't see from them. I'll hide the cavalry and two infantry squadrons there."
"I know what you want to do, but there's too much distance from here to town. If they're caught off guard and open the gates, they're gonna shut down easily while they're running, okay?
"Yes. So I'll ask them to come this far. They can't shut the gates if they call this far and slap this, become dough with the fleeing enemy and jump into town. If you abandon them and close them, you can easily destroy the enemies out there, so you can drop them if you attack them."
"You have a squadron to call in."
"That's right. And most importantly, the prostitutes."
"Prostitutes can't be used in action, can they? The chain of command is good, too."
"The enemy will think so, too. We give up the town's offense and move the main force, with 200 troops remaining and 300 prostitutes. This is still a number that you are prepared to challenge the field if you are an enemy. But the prodigal soldiers of the gathering run wild and start the attack, of course defeated by a counter-attack... and the infantry squadron is also involved in the confusion to disrupt the camp... what would you do if you were the enemy commander?
Of course I'm determined to pursue it.
Castle soldiers can aim to win 200 to 300 because they won't be a force for battle, such as 300, confused prostitutes, etc.
"Is there any danger of more soldiers in the castle than I thought?
"If you were there, you would come set up at the dawn of the night and at a time when you decided we didn't have the main force. Which way then we can't attack alone. All you have to do is get out of the hill, head for rescue, and wait for the rest."
Agor opened his mouth.
"I got the story. But can our infantry squadron do such clever imitations of prostitutes anyway? If they break us down, we can just shoot an arrow and die for nothing, okay?
Leoporto said nothing.
"I don't think they can act like that. You don't teach them anything from the beginning. All I'm saying is," Attack the city with all your might. "
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
The next morning, the town of Datron, the Arkland faction.
"Apparently, the crisis has left."
Ruling the villages around the town [Count Cortosa-Datron] breathed relief.
His hall is situated on the tallest platform in town, with a view of the town's surroundings.
The Goldonian troops that showed up the evening before seemed to have moved during the night, as the watch reported.
I wondered what would happen.
The number of enemies was better than 1,000.
You hunted and gathered in the surrounding villages, and there was a mix of groups of indigenous people, but even pulling it out was a powerful force.
Soldiers in this town were a little over 300, a dangerous difference in strength if they were attacked by force.
"What does an outpost do to allow an invasion to come to a place like this!
I shake my ugly, fat body and get angry.
The town of Datron is not a border region with Gordonia, and it is fortified in preparation for the peasant revolt that has taken place in recent years.
It had become a supply staging ground for outposts that should be rampaging inside Goldonia with attention to its defenses.
A fool told me that the outpost had been destroyed since the day before, but he snapped his neck all over it.
They must have fled the squad mad with great terror, trash painting mud on the name of the glorious Arkland.
Large quantities of food, arrows and leaves are being brought into the city for the next transportation of supplies.
In the unlikely event that a town is dropped by an enemy, it will all be taken away.
In that case, his countenance would also be at stake.
"The enemy's residual force is only 200 and a civil flair! Strike them out and destroy them!
The knight under his command builds his temper, but he's 300 to 500.
It could be a battle between us because all the indigenous people would be walls.
You don't have to commit any danger in this situation, you just have to protect the town.
"I can't help but strike out. Our role is to defend the town and transport supplies. If the northern legions come now, they'll kick their asses."
"Those guys, just us!
I know you want a handle, but you can't do a lot of damage here.
Goldonia is not the only enemy, it is possible that there are people who will take advantage of this opportunity to start a revolt.
Now let's hold even the women, and keep the women taken from both civilians as servants.
Mausoleum if you want to die or get pregnant, I'll send you back.
It's been a long time since I've seen an older woman today.
"Enemy attack! The enemy is approaching the city wall!
Hold down the sobbing woman and get dressed in a panic for the lookout where she tried to bring it to life.
The woman ran away with her clothes.
That woman, I'll strangle you tonight until you die.
"What do you mean? Didn't the enemy leave!?
"That's what's left of the soldiers, the natives, are coming to the gate screaming, throwing pine lights and oil kettles! Something that tries to break the gate with a hammer!
"All of you! You've got crumbs!
The gates are thick wooden, but they don't burn up because they've been watered and muddy since the day before in case of fire.
Crowded soldiers curse, and all they can do to raise their temper is light fire, and so much so that some knock on the gate with a gavel. Thick gates don't frighten.
"How long are we making you like it! Let the arrows bathe! Kill them all!
Separate arrows pour down from the wall near the gate, and you begin to hear screams.
That sight lasted for a while, but the rear few broke apart in unison on the skin and began to flee backwards all at once.
"Huh! This is what happens because I get on with it. You just have to be quiet and plow in the fields!
But an amazing sight appeared here.
Running peasants are wrapped up in what appears to be the enemy's regular army.
I must have observed it from the rear and was aiming for a gap and dug a grave.
"The enemy is a mayhem! Now you can destroy it!" "This is an opportunity to meet a thousand people." "Please order us to leave!
The knights came stuck together.
It does seem easy to destroy now.
If their main force had moved in the night, it would have gone quite far, and they would not be able to come to reinforcements.
Above all, it's not a bad honor to say this is me who broke Goldonia first.
"Come on, I'll allow you to leave. But don't go after him!
"" "Ha!
The knights returned to their own squadron only to spare a moment.
"Let's see the end of them."
Out on the terrace I decided to watch the promised battle of victory as I let a woman pour alcohol.
