111 Episode 111: One Eye and Hawk

We allied forces continued to advance.

It is approaching the capital one day later.

Less than two days have passed since the capture of the city.

One reason the Allies were able to continue their march so far. Many cities and villages surrendered by opening the gates.

All surrendered cities were given autonomy and duties for military service, but the taxes levied were different.

First, the cities, villages, and royal families who fell down before the Allied forces began to advocate for surrender.

They imposed a one-hundredth tax. In short, one percent. Almost none.

Next, the cities, villages, and royals who opened the gates in response to our Allied surrender recommendations.

A fifty-one tax on them. That is two percent.

Finally, the cities, villages, and royals who surrendered after we launched the attack and became inferior.

Twenty-fifth tax on them. That is, four percent tax.

Anyway it is cheaper than King Belvedir's time. Otherwise you will not turn over.

I really want to get more taxes even if I spend a little more time ... because time is an enemy. I'm worried about Bartolo.

By the way, not everyone welcomed us.

It was 40% that made me quiet, and 60% rebelled.

Adernian cities, villages, and tribes are more likely to rebel. Unlike the Christians, they probably have a strong feeling for the king.

Such cities, villages, and tribes naturally fell down by force.

With a bomber, it's not that difficult. And he was more capable than Alexius thought.

Wouldn't it be better than Bartolo in attacking the castle? No, I have never seen Bartolo attacking the castle in the first place.

Naturally, rebels do not have autonomy.

They imposed a 40% tax. It will be lowered in the future.

This feels like a difference between heaven and earth compared to a city that surrendered earlier ...

Taxes levied on those who did not grant autonomy do not include costs for infrastructure. The reason is that the costs are collected by ourselves and ourselves are autonomous.

Conversely, taxes imposed on those who have given autonomy include infrastructure and other expenses. Because it does not grant autonomy, tax payments and infrastructure costs are also included in one tax.

In some cases, those who are not given autonomy may be economically more comfortable.

Even so, cities that surrender early are often less burdensome.

Probably the least tax burden on ordinary people is the third largest city in the population. Isn't the tax burden on ordinary people less than 10% in total?

By the way, the tax rate of my territory is currently 30%. It will be less than 20% in the future. For your reference.

"It's the Belvedir Army. Is that the number you said? 8,000?

"We're 8,000 too. The same number of fights. Even if they lose, if you stay in the wall, you have a chance. If you lose, you end up. This is strategically disadvantageous."

Perhaps it would have been better to go to help Bartolo with Roselle over Belvedir?

Or maybe Muzio's reinforcements ...

No, is it useless now? I have to think about winning.

"Alexios, do you have any ideas?"

Mochi is a mochi shop. I have no military talent.

In such a case, it is better to ask a specialist honestly.

"If the number of soldiers is equal, it is better to hit from the front than to require a poor workmanship .... But there is no trick to challenge without care."

I've been thinking about it for a long time, but it's a mess.

Speak quickly from the conclusion.

Looking at my expression, Alexios was a little quick.

"In fact, there is a measure I was secretly advancing ..."

Alexios offered me the strategy.

It was a terrible and terrible operation.

It is as bad as Iar. Oh, it's a praise?

"That, the unfaithful guys ... if I earned more time in a day, I could mobilize another 2,000 ..."

King Belvedir frowned at the same number of troops in front of him.

Belvedir has 8,000 infantry and 200 cavalry.

The Allies, on the other hand, reportedly reportedly had over 7,000 infantry and about 600 to 700 cavalry.

Most of the cavalry are Rezado's Germanic cavalry. Much more skillful than Adernia cavalry.

In terms of troop numbers, the Belvedir side has an advantage.

The Belvedir has also succeeded in setting up at high altitudes.

Tactically and strategically, the Belvedir army is dominant.

However, its dominance is the slight difference in levels that can be turned upside down enough.

In the battle between the same number, there is a strong difference between the commanders.

The Belvedir commander and the Allied commander would definitely be the Allied commander.

In particular, the Losaith Army has been in a row for the last time.

The first to move was the Allies.

The Belvedir army will also form accordingly.

The Belvedir army, who has gained heights, has much more advantage because it has access to momentum.

The Allies, on the other hand, have to climb the hills to collide with the Belvedir forces, and have little momentum. Fatigue also increases.

The land was in the Belvedir Army.

Both face each other.

Neither of them can be prepared in the Great Plains battle. There is no room for traps such as pitfalls.

Therefore, it will be a battle on Joseki Street.

The common practice in the Adernia Peninsula is that light infantry first strikes with a stoning, bow and arrow, and a javelin, causing heavy infantry to collide with the formation.

Both cavalry collide with the side of heavy infantry, and light infantry supports the cavalry.

Since cavalry on the Adernia is not very strong, cavalry rarely strikes the side of heavy hoplites.

In most cases, everything is decided by the collision of heavy infantry. Thus, the battle will depend on the number and quality of heavy infantry.

In this case, the Allies have twice as many cavalry as the Belvedir, but the Belvedir knows that.

The Belvedir army has a large number of light infantry on its sides to prevent cavalry from wrapping around the sides.

Allied forces who have to climb hills can't use the mobility of the cavalry.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the war will be decided by the cavalry side attack, and it is very likely that the battle between heavy infantry will determine the war.

Both hoplites are mainly hoplites who have recruited Adernian peasants.

Quality and morale are somewhat favored by the Allies, but little change when fatigue is taken into account.

Just a tie. It did not matter which way the war progressed.

After both glares for a while, light infantry immediately begins to move forward.

Both have trebuchets, bows, and javelins in their hands.

The battle before the battle begins ...

"Hmm?"

King Belvedir tilted his head.

For some reason, one of the Allied light infantry was a troop, who was one step ahead of the Allied and was shouting.

"Hey, what is he screaming?"

"It's hard! Pia is like a man in a city or village that has surrendered to the Allies .... It seems he's calling on people from his own city or village."

"What!?"

King Belvedir looked away.

I don't think he came to encourage me. Probably a surrender recommendation.

This will greatly affect morale.

"Do you want to shoot and kill?"

"Stupid person! If you do that, my army will break down!"

King Belvedir suppresses the hasty soldier.

King Belbedir got on a horse and went to the front. In order to raise the morale of the soldier himself.

Now, in front of me, twenty people from the surrendered cities and villages were yelling.

Many of them have tears in their eyes.

The expression is sorrow and invites the sympathy of the viewer.

"Your brother in my village! Are you listening? You don't have to fight !!!! Fortunately, King Rosais has promised us autonomy!"

"Yes! Mark! My dear son! Listening? You must be crouching even if the battle has begun! Wow! "

"Don't shed blood !!!! Please, Kane !!!! Don't leave your dad alone!"

"Toll! I was promised to get married after this war is over? Please! Surrender! Then you can live!

In short, Alexius's strategy is to attack the heart.

Moreover, they use family love and hometown love.

Even if Marc, Cain, and Thor aren't here at the moment, many enemy soldiers must be reminded of their home families and lovers.

The family and lover are safe now. There is no reason to fight them.

For clarification, the shouting people are real and their true intentions.

I was so excited to cry when I told you to give you a chance to save my brothers and shouted like this.

... Don't hurt your conscience.

"Now, King Rosais. Your turn is here."

"Oh ... you look fine"

Alexios is smiling. This guy doesn't hurt at all.

I don't think anyone can blame for a little conscience. In other words, as a father of one child, I wonder how to use human love.

"What are you talking about because you know love?"

Oh, yes. What I expected from you was bad.

"Everyone!"

I get on my Aima Sakura-chan and appear all over the light infantry.

It's a bit dangerous, but it's not persuasive to talk with people as shields.

Well at this distance I can't hit an arrow unless it's a gram. I won't die so easily because I have the blessing of the great king. If you pierce the brain, you die instantly.

"I have no reason to kill anyone who is not an enemy. What I want is peace ... we are the same brothers who live in Adernia, we will kill each other! Our true enemy is the Gaul, the Roselle kingdom However, King Belvedir did not stand with us to fight King Roselle, but instead joined hands with King Roselle to stab us from behind.Which is justice? Repeat. I don't want to! "

To be honest, it is a mystery whether Belvedir and Roselle are working together.

Naturally, I think we exchanged letters ... but it's not an alliance. Belvedir is just a fire thief.

There must be a negative point in that area.

Adernians are people who care strongly about duty and honor. It's just a general theory.

"I think everyone knows. I have given surrendered cities and villages autonomy and have paid only a little extra tax. Neither is this additional tax to help my stomach. Security is the military expenditure to protect those who have become new members of our country, allies.I hope for peace. want"

Well, that's true. Actually, my life is not poverty ... I think it's pretty simple.

My only entertainment is hot springs.

Maybe the other races are living better.

"Please, all of you! My only purpose is to defeat the cowards who are on the side of the Gauls and sell Adernians !!"

"Don't be fooled!"

A voice other than me resonated on the battlefield.

One man rode a horse and came forward. This is ... King Belvedir?

It's surprising to be on the battlefield.

"This man is fighting Roselle only because of the territory in return from King Demorgar! Forget? This country is the man who killed King Ferm and took much territory from the kingdom of Demorgar. !! "

Everything is self-defense ...

In the first place, King Ferm is a man who killed his father-in-law (our father's father) and took over his territory, and declared himself independent.

However, many soldiers do not know the circumstances of other countries.

I stare at me as many Belvedir soldiers have returned to sanity.

"What to say !!!!! King Ferm killed his vassal and took his territory. He regained his territory and saved his lands. What's wrong !! But now we are fighting together! The kingdom of King Demorgarh and our nation are the losers and the winners, the invaders and the invaders, but now both the invaders ( Fighting against Gauls). We can understand each other! "

I shout loudly.

Belvedir thinks for a moment. I'm thinking of a rebuttal.

However, the tongue battle is lost if it is interrupted first. Even if it is incoherent, inconsistent, or boomerang, the better loser wins! !

I fold at once.

"Do you guys understand why they surrendered to me in the first place?-Tell me what happened to the villages and towns under the control of Belvedir ..."

I look out for a man from the surrendered city.

The man speaks of the script, but the truth.

"King Belvedir had only one hundred soldiers in my hometown! I took away all the wheat in the food storehouse !!!! My homeland came under the control of the kingdom of Belvedir, and had three hundred years of loyalty I've exhausted it! "

"My village has sent out ten youths to the soldiers !!!! But King Belvedir did not protect my village; on the contrary, he robbed the food storehouse of wheat and set off the wheat that he could not carry. That's it! "

"Poison was thrown into the well of my village!"

Well, I think it's the right strategy.

Scorched tactics are fundamental. Maybe in our country, the rymonds are playing against King Evil.

Nevertheless, they still evacuate the nation and carry as much food as possible without burning it. No poison was thrown into the well.

Well, there are many small rivers near the border with King Evil's country, so there is a reason that it is useless to use a well in the first place.

The kingdom of Belvedir was going to invade our country. There was no plan to be invaded.

It is inevitable that the refugees could not be evacuated. And keep it.

However, it is not a problem that the parties need no help.

Belvedir has an expression that bites the worm.

Apparently, there is no objection.

Being defeated by me is upsetting the Belvedir army. I'm not human enough to miss this.

"I saw! This is the truth. The man is a sneaky man who shakes his tail against a strong man and abandons the weak and eats away. He drops his head right away.

Light infantry begins to attack with my command.

Rocks, arrows, javelins, and bombers fly in an arc to the enemy. By the way, I use spades sparingly. Because preservation is necessary.

"Oh, oh ..."

King Belvedir retreats slowly, protecting his body with a shield.

"Do not miss!"

That's how Gram came next to me.

Gram squeezes the long bow and shoots an arrow at King Belvedir. The arrow penetrates King Belvedil's horse, and King Belvedil falls.

The shield blows off due to the impact of the falling horse.

Not a gram to miss it

Gram squeezes the bow and shoots an arrow between King Belvedil's brow.

"Dangerous!!"

But before Gram's arrow pierces King Belvedir's eyebrows, one of the soldiers becomes King Belvedir's shield and prevents the arrow.

Arrows fired from the longbow penetrated the armor, causing the soldier to die.

He noticed that King Belbedir had escaped.

Gram grabs his tongue and switches the target to a commander, such as a centurion.

A gram that shoots through enemies wearing a helmet like Tosaka that stands out one after another. As always, precision shooting is good.

"I'm still amazing"

"Please stop ... I'm shy ..."

Gram turned his face a little red and scratched his cheeks.

Originally upset, the formation of the enemy heavy infantry slightly collapsed. In addition, the king fled.

Enemy light infantry also launched an attack, but it is too late.

"Assault !! Continue to me !!"

I kick the belly of the cherry tree and climb the hill at a stretch.

Allied heavy infantry and cavalry also begin to charge.

"Ah ah!"

I wave the Dragon Damascus steel sword and cut through the enemy like butter.

The enemy clearly starts to frighten at my strength. I'm strong. I'm going to forget it! !

"Die !!!! @Rosais King!"

"I don't think so"

Ron slashed the enemy soldier approaching from behind me.

"Leader ... not, king. I'm too far ahead. As usual."

"Sorry, if you don't want to go forward after a long time ... but because you thought you would follow me?"

Ron turned her face red. Don't be shy. I am ashamed.

"I will protect the king's back !!"

"Oh! I left it!"

Ron and I will jointly kill the enemy. Focus on those who are as glamorous as possible.

The only thing he could do was hold the altitude high, and the enemy held up for a while.

Normally, the enemy would gradually push back and this would be a disadvantage.

However, the enemy's pace was fatally bad.

In the first place, the strength of hoplites is their will to protect their homeland, their friends, and their country.

It's only when your fellow fighters follow each other that they create a powerful assault.

But now, that partnership is collapsing.

Anyway, there is a human being next door who can be released if you surrender.

Some people want to go out of their way. Conversely, some suspect that he is trying to outdo it.

The slight doubts and slight gaps overlapped and called a fatal gap.

At the same time, Belvedir's formation began to collapse on the left, right, and center battlefields.

And once the Heavy Infantry collapses, it cannot be rebuilt.

"Pursue!"

I ran through the battlefield at once.

I noticed that Rosward was next to me.

"King. I'm sorry to see you. Virgal! I can't afford to lose to the Lezard cavalry!"

"Yes! I know! Captain!"

With that said, they rushed next to me.

Hey, another cavalry is left behind.

Well, it's good to be fine ...

The Allied casualties in this war totaled three hundred.

On the other hand, there are thousands of casualties on the Belvedir side. POWs reached 4,000, and thousands fled.

King Belvedir was in the royal capital with two thousand soldiers, and closed the gate hard.
