When Lord Arval asked me about my past victories, the others in the room – Carlena and Parrin – looked at me expectantly and I realised that this was a pivotal moment. Part of my mind scrambled to put together a story about being a real general. Perhaps I could remember enough about the campaigns of Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar from my games of Classic War to reconstruct convincing episodes? This part of my mind saw my companions as being in need of reassurance and justified making up a history for myself as a great general on the grounds of the value of inspiring confidence in their commander.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5D157WBtg
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTsRjDLr0f
On the other hand, if I lied now, I would be stuck with having to remember my backstory for my entire time here and inevitably the fake history would have to grow and grow. Even thinking about that made me feel tired. Moreover, these people were no fools, none of them. Probably, they would be able to detect my bullshit and evasions.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FTF7rd4sz
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMjvsluniq
If we were to turn the fortunes of the realm around and conquer the twenty-five kingdoms, Arval, Carlena and Parrin needed to become heroes in their own right and be utterly dependable too. You didn't lay the foundation of a victorious team on lies.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0QUnQJK8M
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3vClgnqtu
Then too, I knew that if there was ever a time to explain that I was not, in fact, an experienced general it was now, when they had no qualms at all about my leadership.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJbi3beMnY
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1dy1dDbn1

'In my old world, there are no menus for planning the realm, no magic at all and no levels to be obtained by specialists like us.'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJX6L8Ce5X
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wkgEKPBMg
'No menus?' Lord Arval shook his bald head. 'It must be chaos. How does anything get done? What would stop everyone from making their own plans?'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWmaCsDJeZ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkRDrfACtb
'Staying on the topic of my battles…' I really didn't want to be deflected into the politics I'd left behind, 'we have games… tournaments… that are very much like what's happening in this world, Regnia. And it is in these tournaments that I have fought and won battles like this one: much bigger battles, with thousands of troops.'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LhJgFAYhA
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbHKA6lwDD
I wanted to try and express that my game playing experience was a transferable skill to their world. That no commander in real life participated in battles with enemy magic and monsters coming into action, whereas as a gamer I had fought in hundreds. But as I struggled with how to phrase this point, Lord Arval spoke.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzSep2TjgE
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMxLg3RutP
'Tournaments?' he looked puzzled. 'Of thousands?'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1UgQvjzCo
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUZ5yAasO9
'Yes, indeed.'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9etkUihohu

'Did the soldiers die though?' asked Carlena.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG4SO7Zqzx
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NCltObv5V
'They died as if they were soldiers, but most were only… models.'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAzj9yA3VX

'Yes. That's quite a good comparison.'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu1VNdPt3p
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKSCdvrhEl
No one spoke and I could not judge the mood of the room until Lord Arval said, 'well sire, if you would, can you tell us about one of your battles in a tournament?' This was greeted by looks of interest from Parrin and Carlena.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJxoacFVD3
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwP0J65rFj
'Happily.' Whether it was the flush of victory that was still upon me, or the wine, or the sense that these people were still with me, despite my confession, I really did feel happy and I enjoyed recounting the final battle of the Crown of the Frost Giant Kings quest in Storm Wars. There, I'd led a raid of over two hundred PCs as we fought alongside a dwarven army in a battle with frost giants.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9802VmhhGA
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkSqqnNeZO
I was just explaining how we broke through the shield wall of the bodyguard of the frost giant king when the sergeant of the ballista crew came up the stairs.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCTwNKPZ1x

'Apologies for the interruption sire, we have the coin.'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC1khdCbPf

'How much.'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15yrIBfwb4
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZMWnjclf8
'Ten gold, a hundred and seventy-two silver and a thousand one hundred and eighteen copper. Plus a few bent and clipped ones.'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3iRYNV09o
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziXrZIiIPi
I knew from the economy menus that a gold was ten silver and a silver was ten copper, so the total was 3,838 copper. Arriving at that figure was manageable in my head but to divide it by our 114 soldiers wasn't possible without a calculator. Or maybe I could come at this a different way. If each soldier got 30, that would be 3,420. Then that left 418 divided by 114, which was somewhere between 3 and 4.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTmo3icfYr
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iteL2C1Z3
'Right so, give every soldier thirty-three copper, including our dead. The families can have it. There will be about eighty left over. That can go in the castle coffers.'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvqvVsEPVR
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxvUV84WJ6
'Very well sire.'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd25Xkn0VN3
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUEUDQm4d2
The soldiers were getting about a month's pay. Not a bad reward and surely one that would help with my popularity.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLReuc6xc0
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNevsMYnVx
The sergeant left and I stood up, feeling the aches of my tired muscles. 'I'll tell you about the rest of that encounter another time, if you are still interested.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQH7V9BRdG

'Lord Arval, any thoughts on our dispositions before I go?'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyk7C58Gyd
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzVJ3hwisN
The Paladin rubbed his beard. 'It might be wise to keep the light cavalry here to scout and half the archers and the ballista. The rest could be granted two days leave. Then give the other half their two days and once that is over, station most of the army here with enough at Carrick to hold the walls against a sea invader.'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmiDBiR26j
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvEdUqnn4x
'Make it so,' I did the best to keep a smile from my face as I uttered the words. 'I'll return to the keep at Carrick. I'll be needing a cart.'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1HMUUOfti
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB93kEeqAP
'Wait. Shouldn't we consider going on the offensive?' Carlena asked. 'Their morale must be shaken right now.'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2eDxw0ZXD
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcd84pEz2u
The three of them looked at me.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeaGg20IFG
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK6xZ7goqu
'That had crossed my mind but let's suppose we march down the valley and engage the other half of their army. What's the best possible outcome? We regain our farmland. What's the worst possible outcome? We lose everything: the whole realm and perhaps our lives. So even if there is an advantage with us, it's a mistake to take the gamble. Especially as this is an excellent defensive position.'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwkdJEaq9q
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwL8eM0x6a
The Sorceress nodded and I continued on to the top of the stairs.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp9Vlhhqsa

'What about the prisoners, sire?' asked Chancellor Parrin, bringing me to a halt.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPwyZfSCv5
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNw7165LBH
'What's the usual practice?'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGQUxZQ7xA
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu78wxwwaa
The chancellor shrugged, 'keep them locked up and perhaps arrange an exchange or include them in truce negotiations?'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ8o1WnxoB
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI2XsDL8jK
'The problem there is food. We are desperately short. There's no tradition of killing prisoners then?'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvRKWRNwpS

'That's possible,' observed Carlena, 'but it has consequences. Since they will hate you, it will lower your popularity among the people, which is critically low as it is.'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrshK02oJ5
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzizBylLb1
'Right. Oh well. Keep them under guard here for now, minimal rations. Chancellor, as soon as you feel up to it, I'd appreciate you scouting the enemy again.'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKe65B4fKb

On arrival at Carrick after an extremely bumpy journey (during which I searched and discovered I could upgrade the road, which when I had completed more urgent upgrades would be useful for swift movement as well as a more comfortable journey), I bid goodbye to Carlena.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF048hTgteO
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFHICPI4aH
On entering the keep I found Figus, my charismatic ambassador, seated outside the solar, waiting for me. He was eating an apple and this caused him some embarrassment as he stood up to greet me and couldn't find a place to put it. Eventually, he just gave a twitch of apology, put it on the arm of the chair and made his bow.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QCVEBqZqy

'Soon enough, but first tell me about your mission.' I strode up to the throne and took my seat, waving away the guards and servants, so that just the two of us occupied the large room.

'Well sire, I rode through Trolland while there was light, skirting their villages and sleeping in the barn of a farmer whose wife took a liking to me. On the morning of the second day I crossed the river Everwald and into the territory of the Necromancer. By afternoon I met the man himself, holding court in a large tent among his troops. And I have to say, I didn't care for the stench of his troops. There must have been a hundred zombies among them.'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYsKDsNrqm

'Well, I introduced myself and explained my mission and it startled him. I don't know what he was expecting, but it wasn't a trade deal. We talked it over and when he realised it was an iron for food agreement, he grabbed my arm, stared into my eyes and said I had to tell you the following: "King Carlos. You are the first of any rulers to send an ambassador to me. I appreciate that. And I appreciate the opportunity to send you our excess food in return for iron. Here's my offer: for each cargo of fifteen iron ingots that arrives to our docks, I'll provide you with a hundred-and-fifty units of food in the form of sacks of grain and rice."'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu3H6RTlQ6
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrzBmSyTHH
I let out a whistle. My intuition was that this was a good enough rate to solve the food crisis and with room to spare; I'd do some detailed calculations later.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNrkELzHvD

My ambassador glanced at me, perhaps to confirm I was being sincere. I doubted King Carlos ever gave thanks or compliments. Then Figus nodded. 'And now, sire, if I may, can I trouble you for the details of the battle.'436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkriaPDVJJ0
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkEdKO3NQA
It was no trouble at all recounting our victory at Three Ways and Figus made for a particularly attentive audience, encouraging me to provide specific details, such as those of the sounds and smells. Only when a servant came to light the lamps and inform me that dinner was ready did I stop. And even then, having invited him to join me, our conversation was entirely about the battle.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTw4aGQAM6

During the day, iron and meat production had edged up, as I had anticipated, and that was very welcome. Iron output should go up again after I assigned the waiting 24 steel pickaxes from the smithy, which I did right away. Food consumption, however, had gone up to 15 from 13, perhaps the result of capturing around 30 enemy soldiers. Even on minimal rations, that was a noticeable drain. It left me only four days away from running out. I felt a chill all over my body, despite the fact I was under warm covers. All the good of the today's victory could be undone unless I solved this issue.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFEyLIs1Bh
