Episode 117: Invasion of Purnya Country
By attacking the royal castle of the Ferokony country and making the Ferokony royal family declare that they would surrender this country to me, the country of Ferokony was effectively destroyed.
Normally, we should be working on governance until the security is stabilized here, but there is still an enemy called Purnya country.
Therefore, it was necessary to quickly give the people of Ferokony peace of mind.
The easiest thing to do is to have Princess Pulvera declare in the name of the knightly kingdom that I became the ruler as a result of a legitimate act.
Maybe Princess Parbella would be happy to do it if I asked, but I'm afraid of the family's reaction if I lend her more than this.
``Is Prince Milimos, Nani-sama, to use the names of Princess Pulvera and the Holy Knights country over and over again? ”
On the day my belly button is bent by a knight from a chivalrous kingdom, my neck and torso may end up tearing apart.
After all, we have no choice but to rule this place in an honest way.
"General Durva. I want you to maintain public order in this former royal capital with your troops. So, how much force do you need?"
General Durva looks troubled at my question.
"That's right. I'm sure you want 1,000 people."
"Ugh. A thousand people..."
1,000 out of 4,000 people. In other words, it would be necessary to reduce the military strength by a quarter, and it must be said that the decline in military strength was significant.
“The residents of the outer periphery are grateful to us for putting out the fires and capturing the mercenaries.If we think that it will make governing easier, why not entrust them with 500 soldiers? ?”
“If you tell me to do it, I’ll do it with that number of people, but bloodshed will probably be unavoidable, but is that okay?”
"That's troublesome. If people have bad feelings, it will be difficult to govern."
Should we maintain the military strength to attack Purnya country, or should we maintain peace in the Ferokony region from now on?
I made my decision after careful consideration.
"Understood. I'll entrust the 1,000 men to General Durva. It's not like there's no place to use the reduced military force."
“These are the soldiers who are going to make a counterinvasion into Purnya country from Zadu Fort, right?”
"Given the timing, it wouldn't be strange if the Rocha soldiers from Zadu Fort started an invasion and entered Purnya's territory."
Since Purunya's military power will be allocated to the invading soldiers, there will be less military power to allocate to those of us who will be entering Purunya from now on.
Therefore, they decided that there would be little problem even if they entrusted 1,000 soldiers to General Durva here.
"General Durva, please really maintain the peace and order here. If they rebel, there will be no way for us to retreat."
"Leave it to me. When Rocha changed from a country to a region, I would like to show you the skills I honed while trying to maintain public order in various places."
After receiving a reliable reply, I started marching toward Purunya country with 3,000 soldiers.
I entered the country of Prunya, but the scenery was a forest view that was not much different from the Ferokony region.
Occasionally, wild animals would cross in front of us, startled by the sound of the soldiers' armor and weapons.
A sharp-sighted soldier may hunt down the wild animal and add meat to the meal.
After marching like this for about five days, a scout came to inform us that there was something that looked like a checkpoint built where a section of the forest had been cut down.
“What was the situation like at that checkpoint?”
“The number of people was small, about 10 people, so I think it was more like a regular job to crack down on peddlers, rather than a warning against us who had defeated the Ferocony country.”
“Is there no information coming in, or is this a trap made to look like that?”
Considering the possibility of a trap, I decided to gather only fast people like the scouts and myself and attack the checkpoint. If it's a trap, I'll run away and return to the main unit.
Approach the checkpoint carefully, and just before there is no place to hide, everyone rushes towards the person at the checkpoint.
“Wh-who-”
I could hear someone's voice, but I didn't care and grabbed him with a rope and gagged him.
Although it was quickly controlled, there were no signs that an ambush appeared or that the checkpoint itself would explode.
Apparently there were no traps, it was really just a checkpoint.
Although I was a little disappointed, I decided to interrogate the people I had captured.
Of course, I can't let Princess Parvera and the family see such a tragic scene, so I end up conducting gentle interrogations from beginning to end.
Thanks to the intimidating presence of 3,000 Roccian soldiers, it was easy to get the captured people to talk.
The information obtained from them is quite limited.
"As expected, I didn't know that the Ferokony country had lost. Moreover, I didn't even know about Fort Zardu."
I'm starting to doubt whether they are really the keepers of the checkpoint, but the map I created based on the geography I learned from them is very useful.
“Are we closer to Purnya’s royal capital because we entered from Ferokony’s royal capital than from Zadu Fort?”
The country of Ferokony and the country of Purnia were good allies. This must have manifested itself in the proximity of the royal capitals of the two countries.
Putting aside the country's history, given the distance, I started to think it would be difficult to attack the Purnya country in collaboration with the Rocha soldiers who had advanced from Zadu Fort.
"If we don't do well, we'll have to take down Purnya's royal castle with the 3,000 people we have..."
I was worried about what was going on, but I decided to change my mind, thinking that something would work out and I had no choice but to do something about it.
