Capítulo 13: Desperate Defense (1)
The combat system was the same as in that game.
In other words, I would never die at the hands of a soldier whose power level was less than my own.
In this war-torn world, the only thing that can guarantee your life is your power level.
Of course, the amount of experience I can gain in a battle where my life is not at stake is negligible.
It is only natural that the increase in experience is greater when I kill enemies in actual battle.
So it's impossible to raise my level in such a confrontation.
Of course, this was an experiment and as a result, I got Bente.
Haddin reinstated all of his old men, and Bente appointed each of the tenmen he was leading as a captain of the hundred men total he commanded.
That's how the army was reorganized.
No matter how high your command value is, it takes time to take control of an army with a sudden promotion or return.
So I have to keep my existing subordinates in charge.
There may be some who are disgruntled, but that can be suppressed with the lord's bad name.
I don't have time for a peaceful solution each time.
Time is running out, the war is about to begin.
After having informed the Commander and his company
I stood in front of the assembled soldiers and explained in detail the strategy for tomorrow's war, then gave the order to the commander.
The color of the soldiers' faces changed.
Still, none of them complained, this is exactly the power of a lord.
Following my order, the entire army immediately started moving in a flurry.
The lord has started playing war games, that's what everyone thought and I had no intention of correcting the soldiers' thinking.
Given the current situation, it might be better.
If I made them believe that the enemy was really going to attack, they would rather run away since their morale was only 20. If that's the case, it's better to let them think it's just a game and dig a pit and ambush them than to let them run away.
In any case, it's fine if they move as ordered.
The main force of the Visigoth Kingdom is moving to the north.
In order to conceal this move, a decoy force would appear here in Aquitania, the western border of the Lunan Kingdom.
The path of this decoy unit was obvious.
A huge mountain range stood between the Visigoth Kingdom and the Aquitania territory.
The reason why the country was divided after the civil war was because of this mountain range between Aquitania and the Visigoth Kingdom.
This mountain range is steep and extremely difficult to cross.
However, the only road between the mountains was equipped with a barrier.
So, the quickest way to cross the border would be this very gate.
There is also the option of crossing the steep mountains like General Hannibal did when he crossed the Alps during the Punic Wars.
Or, they could take a circuitous route and attack us.
However, there is no such record in the history of the game, the army of the Visigoth Kingdom attacked by crossing the barrier.
The purpose of the decoy unit was to attract attention.
So there was no need to go out of their way to avoid being seen.
Besides, Julius's incompetence must have already been known to the Visigoth Kingdom army.
So naturally, they would come to this road where they can attack the fastest.
Since I knew the whole story, I didn't need to think about anything else.
I just need to keep an eye on this road.
Of course, normally a battle would break out at the barrier.
However, this gate had collapsed in an earthquake during the time of the previous lord.
According to what I heard from the head chamberlain, Julius had spent the kingdom's funds for repairs elsewhere.
No, even if the barrier was safe, it would be wiser to take advantage of this mountainous area.
Looking at the morale and training level of the soldiers, it would be much better to ambush them and attack from a distance than to fight them from the front.
There was a long narrow road past the barrier that led to the plains of Aquitania.
The narrow road under the cliffs would be a great place for an ambush.
If you know when and where the enemy is coming from, you can't afford not to take advantage of it.
Ambush them in the narrow spaces and at the entrance from the narrow road to the plain, we would set up a pit. This was the beginning of my strategy.
