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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC7XY2MPfm
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyaaxfuLzD
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjcPSsOfO1
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhVbJsBzuA
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqrVzs7z4D
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvU60NMqcT
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGnliI15qz
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmTBDGuRN5

'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.'440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7522PukPM
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAPjzP0eag
'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?'440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP15CRwjflj
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSQy2471Tb
'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.'440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sYqRCbqxw
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklEYGaNdE7
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuN4ESYTlE
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEBO66Oo5D
'Tournaments?' he looked puzzled. 'Of thousands?'440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vEsK38Ta1

'Yes, indeed.'440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe29JMAk3gV

'Did the soldiers die though?' asked Carlena.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX6RSLzyHE
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTQAj4zJqA
'They died as if they were soldiers, but most were only… models.'440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9KzQ5gMDB

'Yes. That's quite a good comparison.'440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79BiJtpHsz
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEdCel3keG
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDCJW9Rnpw

'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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogNJkWHCFT
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEab8t7NPR4
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d6FR8ZX3q

'How much.'440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEFYh1fGWT
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoSycSSEUP
'Ten gold, a hundred and seventy-two silver and a thousand one hundred and eighteen copper. Plus a few bent and clipped ones.'440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbmBksBk7x
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnivyjPOY3w
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 4.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1utXiEC352
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ7cqjafV1
'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.'440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS0mU84X27

The soldiers were getting about a month's pay. Not a bad reward and surely one that would help with my popularity.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZYZahgEeI
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvLAzhpvkZ
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r0n9x0fqE

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.'440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugER7dNFK5
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0BDL3yOfF
'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.'440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ufVNUWTRM
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOlfchzarv
'Wait. Shouldn't we consider going on the offensive?' Carlena asked. 'Their morale must be shaken right now.'440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf2oUcgWFw

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzFZae5ByK
'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.'440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq1Ue8SPtY

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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvyzpgH6fL

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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8GuGAiZ7Z

'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.

'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."'440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxojEmt7Rh

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQu97xRtOW
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldiXiNaLQq

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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAO9hlxF2a
