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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKypng8jbMe
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UgA3Yr1WX
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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAqSThAsD6
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFcS5u5kEZ
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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UhD0NgJ8p
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pn0qMgrF9
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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCA3bI9Gl1
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6h4ftnhDf
'I'll answer that question, Lord Arval, but first I have to explain something about the world I come from.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPB6XnY47c
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUzklOn8D2
'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.'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm6Vr7vNCS
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdpuR6xy6r
'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?'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiURkVY08f
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEok8YcHYjF
'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.'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMsyLdxY9s
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbdDdcjZu4
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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVB2riUaXe
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47LaHcLIFB
'Tournaments?' he looked puzzled. 'Of thousands?'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZNOeG4QjF
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFMQRvZb5n
'Yes, indeed.'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWXHH4OlZb
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2WBgAnVSF
'Did the soldiers die though?' asked Carlena.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetmISeyfCF
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXFmabEe8F
'They died as if they were soldiers, but most were only… models.'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5xuD3pENy

'Golems?' she offered.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8GmWjRBxj
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90vOj8MGYv
'Yes. That's quite a good comparison.'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMM47iBicK
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NVlAIMrMw
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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQLjLafbad
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzm3iGickX
'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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfhV0LAq89
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OeQjlkhxH
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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vW1mp7bOa

'Apologies for the interruption sire, we have the coin.'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRiupqxGTH
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxREBOZS3q
'How much.'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAVVfWq8s7
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmn9IEeSUE
'Ten gold, a hundred and seventy-two silver and a thousand one hundred and eighteen copper. Plus a few bent and clipped ones.'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBIoIEL5tV
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Bu911QW6
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 4.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1qOae8yA4
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVGs0zuoIE
'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.'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49HuouuyEc
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cwT5s1Xpv
'Very well sire.'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RpGuL8BTS
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEORscndz0j
The soldiers were getting about a month's pay. Not a bad reward and surely one that would help with my popularity.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVJ3z8THS4
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqcTOVPMFa
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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYkt4ib6oK
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0USczRvSr0
'Lord Arval, any thoughts on our dispositions before I go?'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0fktCw3ta
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtxYVdy0Na
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.'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5ZLMa4Ltk
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC54ZMfdMg
'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.'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4lL3LQcxw
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4ZUl3Tbvi
'Wait. Shouldn't we consider going on the offensive?' Carlena asked. 'Their morale must be shaken right now.'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJn6PKHeAM
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPMMVrKcyJ
The three of them looked at me.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6DsSGFT3W
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRKdXRQ3CM
'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.'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qvXekkqH0
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDESshwQKB
The Sorceress nodded and I continued on to the top of the stairs.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAqyrrwuVf

'What about the prisoners, sire?' asked Chancellor Parrin, bringing me to a halt.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39nmziTZ97
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TODvP7oUh
'What's the usual practice?'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6DuZvzV6L
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCChzx0ffzY
The chancellor shrugged, 'keep them locked up and perhaps arrange an exchange or include them in truce negotiations?'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IP4kBwlvr
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsXroVahnX
'The problem there is food. We are desperately short. There's no tradition of killing prisoners then?'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nyHRuWya6

'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.'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKDWPu2AcZ
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn1tziri7t
'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.'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmh2z2hDkf

'Then please use it on Parrin when you can. And how about you Sorceress?'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MUa8Jbc6V

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNyggjGAS3
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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF90APsIDc
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO1ZVS6xgN
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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fufAt4u4N

'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. It was late and the setting sun turned the roof and the far wall scarlet.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq2C7lM6KX

'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.'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwCfxN1hK2

'A human male in his forties, maybe, you can never tell with spellcasters. Short black hair, grey hair at the temples. Frown lines. He didn't look like a man who had a lot of laughs.

'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."'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xfaEvUlOl
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7Z7Lp8wRt
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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e5kAfjs9E
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu0OjQVgSH

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.'437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTQucpkmFg
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Lz7dTjeim
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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rfRiDfQBI

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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80wYQp0AAz
