Episode 17: Before Riding Tactics

Three years had passed since Elquille had imposed an economic blockade on the Kingdom of Bulgarons.

That was steadily doing a lot of damage to the Bulgaron Kingdom.

Nomads at first glance have the image of a lonely people who never interact with farmers...

In fact, the life is closely related to the farmers.

Whereas farmers can sustain society within their own world alone, nomads cannot sustain that society and life without interacting with farmers.

Human beings cannot live with sheep meat or goat's milk alone, and that is not enough food in the first place.

Sell wool etc to farmers and buy cereals, vegetables, salt, crafts etc.

With such trading activities, for the first time nomads' lives are made up.

It was therefore fatal for the Bulgarian kingdom that the Lemurian Empire completely blockaded its borders and completely suspended its dealings with the Bulgarian kingdom.

The Lemurian Empire is the only nation around the Bulgaron kingdom that can trade properly.

The suspension of trade with the Lemurian Empire was synonymous with the loss of the means to obtain cereals, vegetables and other essentials such as salt.

Most… not all families are in distress.

The damage had been minimal, for example, because the Kotormian clan had many farmers' cities within its area of domination.

The Chromium clan was not as good as the Kotormia clan, but it was not enough to be cornered because they still had strong economic power.

And the Territel family, the third...

"Chief Territel, thank God you're wise."

"Words without body, Your Majesty. … Regards, on the matter of trading and technical assistance"

Yeah, I know.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chief Territel knelt down against Elquille.

This is Palazzo Nova Remulia.

Mr Territel's chief secretly went from sea route to Palazzo Nova Remulia, where he had secret negotiations with Erkühl.

In fact, the Teritel family interacted with the Lemurian Empire since the days of the late Emperor Hadrianus III.

Because the Teritel family was absorbed by the Bulgaron kingdom in the form of defeat to the Kotormian and Chromium families…

In fact, I was deeply dissatisfied with the rule of the Kotormian clan.

The Territorial clan also has a dominant area to the north from the central part of the Kingdom of Bulgarons, and must pass through the territory of the Kotormian and Chromium clans in order to trade by land with the Lemurian Empire.

A small fee had been charged at that time.

It was therefore very important for the Territorial family to use sea routes to trade closely with Lemuria.

Even so, there was no such thing as a huge port in the Territorial clan territory, but only to such an extent as to compensate for the lack of trade by land.

Initially, the subject of the economic blockade of Erkühl also included the Teritel family.

but Territel family had sent a messenger against Lemuria from an early stage to negotiate if they could somehow reopen the deal.

And as a result of three years of negotiations......

· The Lemurian Empire lifts the economic blockade against the Territorial clan.

instead of the condition that

-Theritel clans do not intervene as much as possible in the war between the Kotormian clan and the Lemurian Empire, even if they do, the number stops within a thousand.

· The prisoners captured by both sides are also released early, through sea routes.

A covenant was made that

In addition to this

· Looking at the situation, the Teritel family subordinates to Emperor Lemuria.

· In return, the Lemurian Empire supports the creation of a port within the Territorial clan's domain.

A covenant was also made that

After dropping off Mr Territel's chief's back, who returns satisfied...

Erkühr smiled.

"You're an inedible man, he is."

"Not at all, Your Majesty"

Todoris, who was next door, agreed with Erkühl.

He says that if the Lemurian Empire sees it as advantageous, it will join the Lemurian Empire, but vice versa, if the Bulgarian Kingdom sees it as advantageous, it will join the Bulgarian Kingdom.

The Teritels chose a path that would allow them to maintain some independence no matter how this war fell.

"But, well, you're still a family with some power around being able to do it that way. Kotormia, there is only one force after the Chromium clan. Not in the weak clan."

Neutrality can only be maintained if there is not enough strength to make both forces think that they cannot be "hostile".

Neutrality without strength is just a bat.

Hence...

Many of the weak clans of the Bulgaron kingdom were forced to make two choices: "Lemurian Empire or Bulgaron Kingdom".

"How far did you get?

"It's just a family of 10,000 people, but about seven"

"That's enough."

It can be so abbreviated as it stands, which means...

The betrayal of Lemuria will be further accelerated if information flows that Territel clans are leaning towards Lemuria.

"Now it's time to put your back in..."

Erkühl smiles with a nigga...

I called in Nia and Jebe.

This is one of the settlements of the nomadic village, belonging to the Chromium clan.

"If you don't win again, you're in trouble."

"It's true. But it looks like there's that Alicia, and she's decided to win again. Something that Remlia can't possibly beat a Bulgaron. That will put an end to this painful life."

The women of a certain clan in the Bulgaron kingdom had such public discourse.

The topic is that the Lemurian Empire has once again moved a massive army, which it did not make slight for three years.

All the men left the settlement for the battlefield.

Now there are only a few men and women, children and old men in this settlement.

"And did you hear that? They say the Kotormians live in luxury."

"I knew you wouldn't like the Kotormian clan, even though it's allied."

The Chromium and Kotormia are ostensibly close, but not from the bottom of their minds.

That relationship had deteriorated, especially recently.

The chromium clan is certainly more economical than the other clans, but that is weaker than the Kotormian clan.

If an economic blockade is imposed, life will still suffer somewhat.

"Besides, the grass is not growing well this year..."

"We have very little food to stock up on."

Grass grew very poorly this year due to cooler influences than usual.

Also last winter was very cold and many goats and sheep were frozen to death.

I managed not to starve thanks to Chief Krom for handing out the grain he was storing...

Still life is bitter and I don't know what will happen next year.

"I knew you'd have to work hard with the men."

"Absolutely."

Even so, the women were worried about their own husbands who sent them off to the battlefield.

A settlement mixed with such tension and a pastoral atmosphere...

It was only a few hours after that that that they were dropped to the bottom of fear at once.

"Shit, the Lemurian Imperial Army is looming!! Or, the number is... a thousand or so!

A boy who was grazing sheep noticed the approach of the Lemurian Empire.

Hearing this, the men, who remained marginally in the settlement, rode horses and headed towards the repelling of its Lemurian army.

Excellent vision The Lemurian army they captured...

It was about a thousand cavalry men.

but they all went down from the horse at once.

Then he sets up a spear and starts forming formations.

"Aren't you a cavalry?... Yea!! Assault!!"

The men bowed and stormed the Lemurian army.

"Captain, it's the Bulgaron Army. The number is roughly 200!

"I often try to figure out how many... 200 men are left, which means I'm probably a little over 2000 in the settlement."

Nia shrugged.

Nia leads a battalion of 1200 guerrillas given to Elquille.

Six times the difference in strength.

"Formation D."

"" "Yes!!

Nia's ordered Nia Battalion began forming as trained.

Three squadrons 450 descend and put up a spear and form a circle.

And two squadrons still get off their horses and set up a bow inside that circle.

Finally, the three squadrons remained on horseback, preparing to storm.

Nia's battalions are cavalry, archers, infantry...

I have all the training.

Usually a cavalry who travels on horses, but can also be an infantry or archer depending on the situation.

When, on any battlefield...

I can put in a soldier's department in favor of the spot and time.

That was the strength of the Near Battalion.

Archers first devoured a single shot at the Bulgaron soldiers who had stormed.

One bull gallon soldier after another is shot with an arrow because the long bow of Lemuria has a longer range than the short bow of the bull gallon.

And the Bulgaron soldier, who managed to get close, was also bounced off the walls of the spears forming a circle.

"Cavalry, assault! Continue to me!!

On Nia's orders, spear and bow units made holes in the circle.

From there, cavalry 450 storms in pursuit of a Bulgaron soldier.

"If you resist, I will kill you!!

Nia declared as she slapped and slaughtered the Bulgaron soldiers.

Only the slightly surviving Bulgaron soldier, 80, was taken prisoner.

"Report damage."

Zero, Captain.

"Good."

Nia nodded contentedly after receiving a damage report from her deputy.

If it's six times the strength difference, it's natural to win.

He is a proud soldier raised by Nia over three years ago.

I'd be in trouble if they died at this level of battle.

"I'll split the squad in two. Five squadrons follow me to the settlement. Bring the remaining three squadrons with you."
