Reincarnated as an Aristocrat with an Appraisal Skill
Episode 60: Simulated Warfare
The Rovents make sure that mock warfare is conducted regularly.
Mock warfare is a battle that assumes actual warfare, but naturally you can't kill soldiers in practice, so it can't be exactly the same as real warfare.
The general rule is that the number of people, including commanders, is fifty-first to fifty-first.
The situation is that the enemy has attacked Lamberg, so it feels like stopping it in the field.
For this reason, it is divided into an offensive and a defense unit.
The offensive side marches from a distance to the mansion, while the defensive side intercepts the enemy on a plain near the village of Lamberg in order to stop the invasion.
Pick up the opponent's captain or surrender him and he will be victorious.
Thirty infantry, fifteen archers and five magic soldiers.
Cavalry is not used in mock warfare.
The weapons of the soldiers are wooden swords. It hurts if you hit it, but there is little risk of death if properly equipped with protective equipment.
The bow uses wooden arrows. The tip wraps around a cloth stained with even more red paint without pointing.
Apply this red paint to the wooden sword as well. This is to determine if an attack hit a fatal position. If an attack hits a position that should not be hit, such as the head or chest, it is deemed to have been taken away.
And magic, but flaming magic is almost dangerous magic, so it's forbidden to use it. There is flame magic in the defense system, but they are all magic that defends against magic attacks of the same flame attribute. That's why there's no point in using it.
Except for that and the magic water of sound and flames, which is invaluable in Meicians, so you can't use this either.
All you can use is the magic of sound attributes.
Sound magic is hardly anything like attacking an enemy.
However, there are so many magics that are so important for delivering instructions that they are a must in battle.
The Captain of the Guard is Leeds, and I'm the Captain of the Invasion Squad. I feel strange going to attack my mansion.
The invasion squad has Mireille besides me, and the defense squad has Roselle and Charlotte. By the way, Roselle has been doing things like a military teacher in mock warfare for some time now.
There seems to be Charlotte stronger over there, but if it's just sound magic, Charlotte isn't that much of a threat. Well, still, I'm pretty sure they feel stronger.
If it's just a mock fight, there are also people out there who consign themselves to me, the main one, so I can't simply compare them.
Mireille asked me to make a team just like me.
He didn't say why, but probably because he thought that the same invading team as me could get the soldiers to listen to his instructions.
The soldiers hate Mireille, so maybe they'll ignore it, but in the form of advising me, it'll be gone.
Even if I were you, putting me in my own squad would help me understand Mireille's strength better, and it's not bad.
And two days later, it became a day for mock warfare.
I was wondering what I would do if I heard from the military conference in the meantime, but I didn't come, so I could do it without any problems.
Being an invading squad, I was now leaving Lamberg with fifty soldiers.
Go to a point about a kilometer away from Lamberg before attacking.
At first I thought the invading team was tired and unfavourable, but when I tried it, it was quite advantageous to attack, so I simply can't compare it.
Well, even if it's somewhat unfavourable, mock warfare is not a sport, so there's nothing particularly wrong with it. How much do we do on unfavourable terms? What to do on favourable terms, because it is something you should try in mock warfare.
On my way, I was talking to Mireille.
"It's been quite a while since we fought in a mock fight."
"Really?
"You used to fight all the time, but hardly since you got kicked out. Has Boya been in the first place yet?
"Not yet."
I had never been in action yet.
"Really? Well, then, you're really not a kid. I guess this mock fight is more like playing compared to the actual battle. You better keep that in mind. Now I'm used to fighting. Don't think I'm wrong."
"I know that"
"Right. Well, the boy seems smart, so that was a stupid question."
I've heard a few stories about the fight in action, but that sounds daunting.
Magic is now used, it seems that all sorts of magic fly across the battlefield anyway in the current battle.
Because we have to work out a huge response to that, it's really imperative to be like a military teacher.
This time it will only be used for sound magic, but there are quite a few types of sound magic alone, so the measures cannot be a glimmer.
It seems that not so many people died in medieval wars on Earth, but wars in this world can cause quite a few people to die in one war. Well, skirmishes don't use a lot of high-powered magic, so they don't die a lot, but when it comes to large-scale wars, there are tens of thousands of deaths.
For this reason, there are few examples of commanders coming forward to take command. Because if you come forward, you have a high chance of dying. By the way, it seems my father was on the front line fighting for a burst. It's a hell of a thing, because I kept living.
A cabin stands where the invasion team goes. Getting there stops the march.
"Well, I've been thinking about some maneuvers, so I'll say it here, and then we'll get started"
That's what Mireille said.
