Episode 121
##121
While on the move, Lian continued to look at the small map, constantly running simulations in her head.
The difference from the game is that it is impossible to observe in real time, so you have to predict the enemy’s movement.
‘It didn’t look very strong… How can Auto Horse be like that… … .’
However, something else caught the eye of Count Pougeh.
No matter how long the road is laid, it is a dirt road.
It seems strange to move there with a map in one hand.
That’s a hung-type auto hose.
‘crazy.’
What’s even more surprising is that it seems quite a lot even when controlling with both hands.
Of course, an experienced Auto Horse jockey could let go, but I couldn’t hold it that long.
Would it be possible for the veteran cavalrymen of the Hung Kingdom?
“hmm… … .”
“Count Leon. Retrieving the troops right now.”
Already sent orders when leaving the palace.
By now, reserves should have moved to cut off the enemy’s supply routes.
“If the enemy mobilizes all their forces into one fortress, it is unstoppable.”
“Of course it’s because it’s blocked at the fort.”
Lian knew why Count Fougeh was so impatient.
Being a count on the frontier, he had no military knowledge.
If you fight normally, it will be as Count Pujeh said.
troops are small. Because my skills are low.
“So tell me! It’s inferior in terms of troops and skills, so of course in the fortress… … .”
“You can’t win that way. forever. hmm. This should be fine.”
“hmm? What do you mean?”
“Base camp. I wonder if I can build it on the hill over there.”
At Lian’s words, Count Fougeh became cloudy.
“It is located right in the middle of the two forts. I informed the fortresses on both sides that I had set up a base camp here. Report reconnaissance from time to time.”
“this… You mean here?!”
Count Fougeh had a complicated head.
Since Lian said he was heading to the battlefield, at first I knew how to move with the reserve. Even if it wasn’t, I expected to go to one of the two forts.
“now. Everyone hurry up~~”
Lian clapped and shouted.
Count Fougere’s forces were only less than 100, and most of them were administrative, not combat personnel.
“Really here… This place is open on all sides.”
“That’s right. Originally, this is where the reserve should be.”
Communication with the forts on both sides is easy, but there is no space for large-scale troops to be stationed.
“after… Count Leon. It’s dangerous here. If either fort is breached… … .”
“It won’t break.”
Lian made a boast.
“Now, quickly put the strategy table on top of the hill~~”
We decided to set up a command barracks on a mound with a good view. I had them put up a table and a map first.
Count Fougere was on the verge of tears.
Because of the child’s beating like this, the family line may end in one’s generation.
‘I’d rather block it alone.’
That was impossible in the first place.
I don’t know how it would be possible from a local point of view, but from a macro point of view, there was plenty of room for powers to intervene.
Both the Ingleson Kingdom and the Thrang Empire may have already made up their minds.
‘okay. If it doesn’t work… I should at least hold a sit-in in the capital.’
I had vague thoughts about how I could endure and endure.
Only those two countries need not intervene.
I was blown away by what the kid in front of me was doing, but what can I do?
Being the only card that blocks the two giant nations.
Tak-tak-tak!
As soon as the strategy table was placed on the hill, Lian lined up the pieces.
It looked very familiar, very similar to what you see in the game.
The standard form of the Yul Continent.
simple mode.
Like a goggle map, there is a satellite map and a general map, so when you switch to simple mode, it looks like this.
Unless it was a particularly important battle, it was much cleaner and more comfortable to see it this way.
However, in the game, if you shoot a horse, detailed information will come out, but not here.
“Uncle Sebas!”
“yes. dismissal.”
Sebas quickly recited information about the unit when Rian pointed to the horse.
I thought it was convenient to have a subordinate who was definitely good at handling paperwork.
‘Wouldn’t it be nice if there was voice support in the game?’
Rather, I felt comfortable.
Sometimes when I play on mobile, my eyes hurt because of the small text.
Moreover, unlike games, this world moves very slowly.
finished thinking chewing on chew again I keep chewing it to the point where my brain is in tatters.
Rather, I was curious about the other person’s reaction, so I felt bored.
Flutter~! Flutter~!
The barracks were blown away by the wind.
The completion of the barracks was over while Lian thought about placing the strategy board.
“ruler. Where are you coming from?”
No matter how Lian was, he could not know how the opponent would come out of the two fortresses.
If you divide the army into two sides and advance.
‘It’s not fun… … .’
I honestly have nothing to say.
It was due to Count Pujeh’s faithfully deploying troops in accordance with the rules.
Tutatatata!!!
Then the sound of the Auto Horse approached loudly.
A smile crept across Ryan’s lips.
‘How many land battles?’
It was a war in which many people died, but I didn’t realize it much.
I was excited because it was like a game for the first time in a while.
‘Calm down. It’s not a game.’
Still, I opened the window of my heart wide and accepted the cold feeling.
Because your mistakes can cause numerous casualties.
Of course, even if I didn’t make a mistake, there would be countless casualties.
War can be so cruel.
“dismissal!! Enemies move.”
“Those who won’t be cool even if they chew on them! As soon as the date comes, they move.”
Interestingly, both the observers on the side of the Duke of Norman (King Ingleson) and the observers of the Serang Empire stayed in the formation of Count Marman.
Because I thought it was much safer there.
Of course, high-ranking observers received reports from farther away than inside the formation.
For reference, it often happened that lower observers were accidentally killed in war.
“It’s a bis fortress!!”
Count Fougere went out and shouted.
It was because the place where the messenger came in a hurry was in the direction of the Bis fortress.
“Looking at the fact that there has been no contact from the Aid fortress yet. Are the enemies going to launch an all-out attack on the Vis Fortress…? … .”
Count Fougeres was depressed.
It was because he thought that if the enemy went all-in in one direction, they would not be able to block it with hostility.
Looking at the situation, I thought that I might have to take out the troops from Aid Fortress to defend the capital.
“That’s something you don’t know.”
Lian smiled and approached the messenger.
“Come this way.”
“… … ?”
The messenger didn’t seem to know Lian.
“I am Count Leon who came as a support. Let the messenger explain.”
“ah… All right.”
I was surprised that such a young person was a count, but it was more surprising to be here right in front of the battlefield.
“Now, explain. Where have the enemies been observed?”
Count Pougeh felt frustrated at Lian’s attitude.
We must quickly notify Ade Fort and prepare for withdrawal.
If possible, the troops in the Vis fortress should be pulled back as much as possible.
The fortress is not very strong, so it won’t last very long.
“It’s moving this way and this way.”
The messenger looked at the map and explained.
“It won’t be that fast.”
“That’s right.”
I could see the corners of Ryan’s lips rising subtly.
“Count Leon. This is not the time! Hurry up and inform the Ade fortress… … .”
“I have to tell you. to intercept the enemy.”
“that… that is. What do you mean?!”
The ulterior motive of Lian’s enemy was clearly visible.
“It’s Seongdonggyeokseo.”
“hmm?!”
“We are advancing to Fort Vis, but the path we have taken is too slow.”
“Yeah. The wide road is conscious of ambush… … .”
“The opening day is today, but they have already arrived here a long time ago.”
Count Fougere had a hammered expression on his head.
“Unless they are idiots, the situation in our military will be investigated after all.”
“ah!”
From nob le mt l. com
Just as this side inspected the opponent’s military camp, the enemy also thoroughly inspected it.
In particular, the gorge leading to Fort Vis was rather close to the enemy camp.
Scouting and securing are much easier for enemies.
“No matter how prudent you are, leave the easy way and go the hard way.”
“Still, it makes no sense. It’s too much of a detour to delay the march and go back to Fort Aid.”
“That’s why it’s so obvious. Heh.”
Lian seemed to know roughly who the opposing commander was.
“Looks like the Lance mercenaries have strong influence.”
“When did you find all the information about the enemy mercenaries… … .”
“I know without looking. It’s just his style.”
It’s obvious that it’s a mercenary unit that will participate if a war breaks out in this area anyway.
“what. Even if it wasn’t, it would be stupid.”
The opponent deliberately delayed their march.
pretending to be prudent
“You don’t seem to know how scary bottlenecks can be.”
Even if the other person was a really cautious type, there was one fact that was overlooked.
as soon as. They had no idea that the enemy would leave the fort and strike first.
“Count Pougeh. Give the order to attack.”
“now… You have to issue an attack order… Both forts here are half a day on the Autohorse… … .”
“That’s perfect. hehehe.”
This is where the road is paved.
Right in the middle of Aid Fortress and Bis Fortress.
If this kind of town is half a day on an auto hose… … ?
How about infantry? A narrow and rugged mountain area.
The opponent is moving a large army on a comfortable path.
Even though the investigation has already been completed, it seems that they have released the scouts and munched at the forefront.
“mind… if. If the enemies are really shooting at the Vis fortress… … ?!”
The troops are small, but if you come out of the fort, you may be massacred.
“no way. The result is the same. Anyway, as long as we take the time, it’s our victory. Did you forget where the reserve went?!”
“ah… … !”
The road is so narrow that all troops cannot fight at once.
Of course, this will depend on your skills, but… … .
“It doesn’t matter if I lose anyway.”
“That again… … .”
“There is nowhere to run.”
I’m sorry to the soldiers, but the fact that the road is messed up means that you can’t easily run away.
I knew the damage wouldn’t be too great.
The pursuit will be a piece of sh*t.
“Anyway, time is freed up. Send 1/4 of the troops from Fort Aid to advance here.”
Lian pointed to a map with a baton that looked like it had come from nowhere.
“It is… … .”
“This is where the enemy might come.”
“Then we should send more troops.”
“It’s useless to send too many anyway. Another quarter here.”
Lian pointed again with the baton.
“Let the 1/8 move all the way to this place and move all the way to this place.”
“Why is that… … .”
“If the Vis fortress is broken and runs away… I’ll be here by tomorrow or so.”
“How can I… … .”
“I can know everything.”
It’s at the level of conscripts, obviously. The mercenaries hired by both sides are mercenaries already known to Lian.
He also had good fighting skills.
“Oh, and the Corps mercenaries are in Aid Fortress right now?”
“see… It is.”
“Send it here and tell it to hit the enemy’s rear.”
“ah… No matter how mercenary. that’s so reckless Most likely you won’t listen. If you give an order like this, you might even leave the battlefield… … .”
Mercenaries do not listen unconditionally to their employers.
Especially if the employer is powerless or at a disadvantage.
They are not here to fight.
I’m here to make money
While plundering villages owned by decent employers, there were countless times that they sat down and took their time.
Raising the ransom under the pretext of the contract period is basic. Until yesterday, they even negotiated with their enemies to hire them.
Even so, the reason why mercenaries are used is because the cost-effectiveness is much cheaper than the regular army.
“I don’t know if it’s another mercenary group, but the leader there is burning inside right now. The deficit is no joke.”
Cope, the bastard of a noble family, founded a mercenary corps.
He had a good personality and was recruited for his manliness, but the problem was that there was not as much work as expected.
no. There is a lot of work, but it seems that the newcomers do not come until their turn.
Now they are hot.
“How do you know that… … .”
“I know everything… … .”
While saying that, thinking that the other person was also a count, he said something a little convincing.
“The Countess’s family from Count Leon’s family is forming a troupe in the Serang Empire.”
“ah. Countess Kennaina!”
At first, I was distrustful of Lian, but I also thought that I could trust him a little.
He knew too much to be considered childish.
‘Is the author the brain?’
At first, Lian seemed to be leading the way, but I saw a man wearing a briefcase right next to Lian.
All of Lian’s other subordinates look flawed, but he is the only one who looks classy.
‘He seems to be an excellent person.’
Of course, Sebas was completely unaware of Rian’s plan.
Of course, I didn’t know the strategy or tactics very well.
From nob le mt l. com
Just.
‘also. Captain!’
I was admiring it, but it didn’t show on my face.
“then. Watch the situation a little more. We will go too.”
“hmm??? What do you mean? suddenly. This is the base camp… … .”
“Are you just making fun of the high-end people here?”
Rather, Rian looked puzzled.
