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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbhheKX6hh
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeABUOSlAR
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kM2NRiCPD
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWn9DbJY2s
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybvYGR5P4b
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeXgX6MyXD
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHc0NsMGFn
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXmUOl0NxA
'I'll answer that question, Lord Arval, but first I have to explain something about the world I come from.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6hGKL82gk

'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.'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ns9RE4p5n
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaJETwQZyd
'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?'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ5Nu33RUT
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VgUNnf7hI
'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.'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYTxH0eNFb
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZjc7JUygL
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25CpSrt01Q
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyOjCxvbi5
'Tournaments?' he looked puzzled. 'Of thousands?'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTSyJbZDD9
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE9UCcgDft
'Yes, indeed.'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjNWv295tH
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzl3lgT751
'Did the soldiers die though?' asked Carlena.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbO7jdywo3
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvM4ihyQtx
'They died as if they were soldiers, but most were only… models.'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMy9BJqPah

'Golems?' she offered.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB75gFOk0l

'Yes. That's quite a good comparison.'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzCRDjlRIF
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMogBRUWw9C
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVFC0yHAZw
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JhXP3H7q5
'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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7JgvEGumE
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOomeezZPV
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexgzQ7HcCY

'Apologies for the interruption sire, we have the coin.'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbF6fuUmSN
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ5CIzUkVj
'How much.'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7Txz65cVO
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhl9xqxNEJ
'Ten gold, a hundred and seventy-two silver and a thousand one hundred and eighteen copper. Plus a few bent and clipped ones.'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2YxX6yIlG
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxqAJ4VT0Y
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 4.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9DIZ6gzo3
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlftM6KQWIm
'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.'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjrOnfOOjy
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqqcLj8H82
'Very well sire.'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMYwVggDAk
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSXtWpvN7v
The soldiers were getting about a month's pay. Not a bad reward and surely one that would help with my popularity.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtbSLG7E7Z
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20o03ox9Si
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48RyQPhhfB

'Lord Arval, any thoughts on our dispositions before I go?'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQfwQCJ9os
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5D9VuxyhU
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.'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7zFL2xtta
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgMLEO8OzQ
'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.'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyMmhyhhGT
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2pePVWOdE
'Wait. Shouldn't we consider going on the offensive?' Carlena asked. 'Their morale must be shaken right now.'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNovGc16PN
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM215Oc24R
The three of them looked at me.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckGHsm8PYL
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ2GUYEuHZ
'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.'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxY1nveK4i
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNTqo6LYl0
The Sorceress nodded and I continued on to the top of the stairs.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyN49id0o7

'What about the prisoners, sire?' asked Chancellor Parrin, bringing me to a halt.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHqLOfLlya
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDsQE8aDuZ
'What's the usual practice?'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eHWnjFlaE
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmTYWqUUeP
The chancellor shrugged, 'keep them locked up and perhaps arrange an exchange or include them in truce negotiations?'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWHs8YEbl6
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5yXmDYTuP
'The problem there is food. We are desperately short. There's no tradition of killing prisoners then?'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryrEVaPrUS

'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.'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uag5OtVpL
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82GMTPHgS2
'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.'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY7BvtwVx2

He nodded and still poised to descend the stairs – impatient as I was to get back to Carrick – I addressed the Paladin.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbhXnM738J

'Then please use it on Parrin when you can. And how about you Sorceress?'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpeEga6lfb

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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1jOKAlDa9
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rCeUjTbOp
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdsXAO7osf

'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.'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkgEQZcLRR

'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."'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfI4b3YbVI
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM2wOiDG1K
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcUpOiSQ4Z

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.'351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi6xiRR8lI
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqplvQtqfAe
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9snNV5OnM8

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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcMmkvPp3Y
