Tadashi Tanaka (41) Birth of a Kingdom – ‘Medieval Europe Is Too Harsh!’

There was also an army convocation in Lioncool by the time the fall deepened.

This was because the neighbouring Viscount of Bashraal stopped the logistics into Lioncool territory.

We cannot afford to stop supplies at this time of winter.

During the summer, Lioncool continued to protest, but Viscount Bashraal instead sought compensation from Lioncool.

The reason for this is that the people of Lioncool and the group vandalized the villages of Viscount Bashraal and burned the woods.

Of course, there's no way the Lioncool side would approve of this claim.

The negotiations were intransigent and finally coincided with a clash of force.

... I don't know, you know too much...

I felt sorry for the army that gathered.

We set fire to Viscount Bashraal's village as Albert's "training", and we used farmers as bows and stone throwers.

Of course he works for stealing.

Not to say everything, but it was definitely one of the causes of this war.

And the butler who caused it is taking us and sprinkling us with war sights (Kusakabu) with joy.

"Oh, that's my dad! You have a brother too!

Those Jean pointed to saw a middle-aged knight, who would be his father, and a slightly younger knight, who would be his brother, leading a small group of only 20.

He wears an iron helmet on his clasp.

A knight with a calm atmosphere.

I don't know what to say, but it feels like my father and brother are normal people.

"There's no point in being Albert's son."

When I squealed bossly, Albert agreed to "um".

"My mother's blood was too thick! It's a disgrace to the Grotes!

Albert bites his teeth sparingly with a "muggle".

"Jean, Noon wants you."

"Whoa, I'm stronger too, and I'm gonna strangle you with enemy intestines like Grandpa!

Albert and Jean are thriving on a topic they don't really understand.

Me and Lolo don't pull, but Albert is in a good mood for "Koya Tsubatsu, Haha".

Overall, however, it is blurred… knights and squires are just splendid, but some others are no different from normal clothes.

Seeing the troops gathering, I was surprised by the poor equipment.

Very few people are involved in seeing metal armor such as clasps or droplet-shaped helmets?

Infantry, for example, are mostly wearing appropriate helmets (?), shirts and furs.

Its helmet is also appropriate, even cluttered stuff like some kind of bone or elongated stone on a leather hat (?).

The weapon is about a wooden shield on a sword or spear. Rarely have some had sticks or axes, but only a few.

Some wear bows and stone throwing strings (slings) … there is no unity in arming.

The army revolves around a squad of squadrons led by Rudolph, my father, with hundreds of infantry in a handful of cavalry.

Plus hundreds of knights from all over the place.

And I'm sorry about the armed convoy... their number is the highest, maybe 40% of the total?

About a thousand people in total? I honestly don't know.

Then Albert made a square like a camera with his hands.

"This is how we measure the army. Count how many people are in this square and weigh the whole thing with how many squares there are"

I reviewed Albert. I may have begun to receive proper guidance if I think about it.

When I count the army, it looks like around 700 men.

"Is that a 700?

"That's the thing... you know you need arithmetic, right? Jean."

Apparently, I was made to be Jean's mentor... okay.

After Rudolph had given him some kind of lesson, the army walked out in rows with Zorozolo.

"That's a lot too late, huh?

"This is it. We should take infantry and convoys."

To Albert's words, I said, "Yeah," and dropped him off.

Nevertheless, it is a tremendous amount of supplies.

Not alongside the amount of rice eaten by hundreds of humans and horses.

I realized that war was a golden thing.

………………

Slow. Really slow.

It's been hours since we dropped off the army, but they're still there.

Actually, the army travels extremely slowly.

It would be about 15 km in a day where there is a road, and less than 10 km without a road.

"We're leaving about noon tomorrow, if we get to Portu at night, the army will arrive the next day, too.

I was stunned by Albert's words.

It is too late.

When I heard Toyotomi Hideyoshi's episode of the Great Return of China, it was about "Hmm," but it was actually a great feat.

I knew what Heavenly Man was capable of, and I sighed when I saw the troops still in sight.

………………

At the time predicted by Albert, the army arrived in the fortified city of Portu.

Even in Portu, the army was gathered, joining forces from the territorial capital to increase the number to about 1,300.

… I see, how can we save supplies…… but then would it be better to keep supplies in Portu and hasten from the territorial capital in a light state?

I twist my neck, but my idea is the airborne theory on the desk.

The world doesn't go according to reason.

We are pulled by Albert and watched from a small height away from the army.

The next day he met with the army of Viscount Bashraal in an open place.

The Bashraar army has about 900 men.

"You've met the enemy quite well."

"No, that was brought into the meeting by setting a date and time in advance. It's a loss to each other to prolong."

War in this era is close to sport.

There are various arrangements.

Each other's armies form a formation, but it is surprisingly cluttered.

I was wondering if we would put more crane wings, fish scales, or so-called "formations," and each knight would put together gestures and just be somewhat sidelined.

The soldiers were excited, pneumatized as they slapped shields and raised odd voices, so much so that some of them got naked and started making mysterious appeals.

"Oh, there's your father."

Rudolph and a thoughtful figure emerged from the army.

He seems to be exchanging words with representatives of the enemy.

"It's a word match. Inform them of their legitimacy and make them non-existent. If we do well, we'll have more morale on our side."

"Whoa, I pulled in."

Delegates from both factions returned and began to advance with Jiriziri as he began shooting with bows and stones.

The stone-throwers are out in front of the line and releasing them to the enemy.

Doesn't look like he cares much about the line.

The distance is clogged.

Soldiers burst into each other's voices.

We bump into each other as we throw a spear, and an awesome brawl begins.

It's like a movie scene.

"Ah, naked got hit!

Lolo raised his voice in remorse.

I hear a soldier who was naked and mysteriously appealing was hit from earlier.

As we watched the soldiers struggle with delight, the cavalry led by Rudolph moved, turning right and poking at the sides.

Rudolph and his men broke down the enemy, and the enemy fell apart, and fled before us.

"That's a gold floor. You're good at Rudolph."

"Golden bed?

I returned Albert's words to the parrot.

"Um, the infantry takes the enemy, and the cavalry slaps. The infantry's on the gold floor and the cavalry's on the hammer."

I see, it seems to be analogous to a move to forge metal.

While one of them is pinching the enemy, the other circles to the side and sandwiches.

It's a simple but intense tactic.

Rudolph seems to stop pursuing to some extent and head to a nearby village.

"Will you stop pursuing me already? Were you alert even in the ambush?

"No, this must have been a good idea... because if you do too much, the other lords will squeeze out. Appropriate looting, then diplomacy."

I was wondering if I was going to fall into an avalanche in the siege like this, but I don't think so.

They're not like strategy games.

Occupying someone else's land like a game in the first place takes years to make a profit, and if you take it away for no reason, your surroundings get noisy.

Because if your neighbor is a robber, it's normal to be on guard.

You need a big name to take someone else's land.

Attacking the castle is devastating, and there's no reason to attack it this time.

The beginning of this war lies in the fact that Viscount Bashraal stopped logistics.

It is not a war of land grabbing.

As for Lioncool, it would be nice to get rid of Viscount Bashraal and the logistics would recover, so if we fought one battle, we would have achieved our purpose.

It also makes little sense to fight desperately with Viscount Bashraal.

It should be a peaceful negotiation soon.

"It depends on the amount of compensation, but if it's a skirmish, it's like this."

... indemnity... from Viscount Bashraal, he stopped the logistics after being plundered and other provocations from the lioncool side, but he was attacked the other way around to pay the indemnity... it's like a yakuza...

I hurt my chest unreasonably, but it seems that war is more or less such a thing.

It's time for power to say things.

"Okay, I'm going home. Nearby villages have been evacuated, and big things remain."

Albert looked back.

I thought it was a bad taste for war sights, but I actually saw the scene and what I got is huge.

On my way home, I asked Albert various things.

"With that said, why was someone naked?

"You must have shown courage."

I shrugged, "Oh, courage."

I don't think it would make sense to die.

"I want to be like that too."

"I jumped in first."

Jean and Lolo seem to have admired naked men.

… I don't want to be naked in uniform, do I?

Whose baseball army is it, I put a scratch in my heart.

I made a firm vow to ban my men naked.
