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.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6eqP1Zupk
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORqgsGg7ua
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.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K3RyIdQ9K
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAMKwxfZvV
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.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniWClz8T6v
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj42b2oKLN
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.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA6SKZjd1x
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATwLAXfZLI
'I'll answer that question, Lord Arval, but first I have to explain something about the world I come from.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRN9bd1oGR

'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.'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPNEKjVxY4
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDZOJIKr82
'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?'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMJhSgf4Q1
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeEo21Wr1N
'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.'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnpGoDCuQc
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTLOTplRoQ
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.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVOUttkw5U
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoznB9ZaYr3
'Tournaments?' he looked puzzled. 'Of thousands?'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpA3GClSgh
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwMJN9jVLN
'Yes, indeed.'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk81sbSYwVN

'Did the soldiers die though?' asked Carlena.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvf1rRro8Q
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTJabl32c9
'They died as if they were soldiers, but most were only… models.'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgi6qZc0JS

'Golems?' she offered.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUdaqGv0AY

'Yes. That's quite a good comparison.'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqKp3yAtnw
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDTmidkHRE
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.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7FHw7DBPK
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXkziBwXaO
'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.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgfvzw3pGQ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo4fT4djyd
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.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxwc3DxnBo

'Apologies for the interruption sire, we have the coin.'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J22aKLML5
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqPCCxg2Ue
'How much.'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY8NzuhdeY
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmI4MyxYBk
'Ten gold, a hundred and seventy-two silver and a thousand one hundred and eighteen copper. Plus a few bent and clipped ones.'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMEnP3v1j1
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CGj1zuXx8
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 4.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh7xhc5Das
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXftkF6b34i
'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.'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJdoG4NjTg

'Very well sire.'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaNHbzlEnh
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA3ivWh8bc
The soldiers were getting about a month's pay. Not a bad reward and surely one that would help with my popularity.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU6xkCqRrR
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqTxN0eESb
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.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiQC4ykPac
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8ZUf3KEAU
'Lord Arval, any thoughts on our dispositions before I go?'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBApF03ixOy
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ4sKzKOta
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.'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMxFg3GrZq
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzKbf6O6Yp
'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.'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoKPUrgrFD
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NI3W28Gvz
'Wait. Shouldn't we consider going on the offensive?' Carlena asked. 'Their morale must be shaken right now.'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHQPYExErU
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KTJuzGNXF
The three of them looked at me.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6nsAQEUao
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsSwckmTLw
'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.'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN0poihZrY

The Sorceress nodded and I continued on to the top of the stairs.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWCgXZVlNC

'What about the prisoners, sire?' asked Chancellor Parrin, bringing me to a halt.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJTgdkrIem

'What's the usual practice?'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtujeupeEnq

The chancellor shrugged, 'keep them locked up and perhaps arrange an exchange or include them in truce negotiations?'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByHwfaP3Q7
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkWzOjy0e9
'The problem there is food. We are desperately short. There's no tradition of killing prisoners then?'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZQch44TCB

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgQcLGlT47
'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.'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EpF5q3pev

'Then please use it on Parrin when you can. And how about you Sorceress?'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iM9HAoCsR

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.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8lJp74dWe
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DNQWIbEaV
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.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A9ZVw54wI

'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.'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD72UDBXOr

'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."'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n6hH8i7UP
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlSlc1LPOV
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.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNwRtJ17GB

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.'391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9WYnxAq4x
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ7Sx48hQj
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.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok94IS5UEP

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.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYpDkPKGxF
