Capítulo 44: Best Course of Action

I am just a foot solider I don't really know how to plan things but I will save them I don't want to see my parents and sister die ever again!

I need to think of a way..

even though I can see future paths probability with Watari's help I can't see future possibilities which I can't predict meaning if I predict what I going to eat for dinner tonight Watari will tell me the probability of it happening like 10%,20% so on…

right now probability of Bandits attacking the village are 80% meaning there is still 20% chance of them not attacking like how they did in my past timeline but I am not taking any chances!!

let's see what are my problems right now : I can't ask for help from the Baron (I have no proof nor time), the village chief will not believe me if I tell him Bandits are attacking without any proof and the towns nearby will not help us when the Bandits attack because they will be busy fighting with each other and defending against the bandits. All my options are doomed!..

==================================================

`Past Timeline during a battle against Eastern Empire`

The modern army advanced steadily through the battlefield, the sound of their heavy artillery echoing through the valley. The Tibun army, with outdated weapons and armor, were completely outmatched.

The modern army opened fire with a volley of bullets, rippling through the backward army's ranks. The backward army returned fire with arrows and muskets, but it was no match for the modern army's superior firepower.

The modern army kept up a steady barrage of bullets, cutting down the backward army one by one. The few that remained attempted to stand their ground.

A soldier: Sir! We need to retreat at this rate all of our army will be wiped out!!

a soldier said with a grim expression.

Captain: NO! We continue! Now get out of here!

Soldier: But sir..

Knight Captain: "Listen up, Soldier Artyon. To win a battle, you need to get into the head of your enemy. You need to anticipate their movements and strategy, and always keep one step ahead of them. It's not enough to just fight with physical strength. You need to use your mental fortitude and cunning to outwit them and come out victorious."

'There are three ways to do this. First, you need to understand your enemy's strategy, strengths, and weaknesses. Knowing these will help you to anticipate their next move and find a way to counter it. Second, you need to use psychological warfare. This means attacking your enemy's morale and will to fight. This can be done through propaganda, misinformation, and other tactics. Finally, you need to use your resources wisely. You must choose the right time and place to attack, and make sure your forces are adequately equipped and prepared. By getting into your enemy's head and using these tactics, you can turn the tide of battle to your favor. Right now we are distracting them by sending in more people to die on the battlefield but victory will be ours!"

after 3 days of battle a reinforcement army arrived and killed all the eastern empire soldier because they had no ammo left by the time the Eastern Empire wanted to retreat they were already in the trap because they thought Tibun was stalling for them to retreat but they were stalling for the reinforcement.

==================================================

ways to get in my enemies head? What can I do? I don't even know what kind of a person the Bandit leader is? Ahw my head!!

wait! Misinformation that's what the captain did back then by sacrificing soldiers he made the enemy believe we were taking our last stance but in reality we were keeping them on the battlefield for the reinforcement to capture them for information.. show the enemy something else ..hmm

Plague! Rumors of Plague! If I somehow mange to spread rumors about a plague infecting Liery to the next two towns the Bandits will try to avoid our village!! I won't need to convince village chief nor will have to fight the Bandits rather they will just leave us alone and loot the towns nearby!

This is the bast course of action I can take right now!

I want to ensure that everyone takes the threat seriously and avoids coming to Liery. Finally, make sure to cover up any traces that I left when spreading the rumor. The Bandits may doubt my story if they discover it was spread by one person, and could come to investigate. This may threaten the safety of Liery and put us in danger.
