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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdLV8mDYyD
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIexYgATB0K
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AeY8Gxq43
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEySaBbf7xj
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr0CVpxsw3
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgStPFFRkb
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKQDhupAIG
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdky4nfoctr

'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.'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HktFm0b5y
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVzyz2PieJ
'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?'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qwkvSAUV9
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcexHLUWBmL
'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.'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJZs4N2BG3
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz5rsRWGfs
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEUbQken3T
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfe92S20NG
'Tournaments?' he looked puzzled. 'Of thousands?'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRuuZcREGb
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOzuqjlhgZ
'Yes, indeed.'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnwwpw43yB

'Did the soldiers die though?' asked Carlena.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNJnqKNs4n
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yECY8brDP
'They died as if they were soldiers, but most were only… models.'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20zYmd7xjG

'Yes. That's quite a good comparison.'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dD4lnV1gu
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDSfTnFyLT
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW2aaW9Fqx
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTOtoipblm
'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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtigrl2bXr
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwa5E4dGs5
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LUhhOb247

'Apologies for the interruption sire, we have the coin.'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrZku6YDBY
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqKVSZuDIZ
'How much.'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2MH5bnFZf
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCJu68wiAd
'Ten gold, a hundred and seventy-two silver and a thousand one hundred and eighteen copper. Plus a few bent and clipped ones.'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBkof0KJbH
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPmwpRFdz4
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 4.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QxRcfTC0I
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeui4NiCpO
'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.'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbYMfpCoa8

'Very well sire.'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNI54b4oq3

The soldiers were getting about a month's pay. Not a bad reward and surely one that would help with my popularity.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiBPFldRlv
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs792gRKCC
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31pzDTH5c7

'Lord Arval, any thoughts on our dispositions before I go?'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQw2ikpPJE
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrnk2Hkz4z
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.'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nC05vrna9
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoggdQTgrQ
'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.'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6ZE086dOM
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQAnG8UjE3
'Wait. Shouldn't we consider going on the offensive?' Carlena asked. 'Their morale must be shaken right now.'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLJKJ5OiTc
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyJ6mJSdH5
The three of them looked at me.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiASzgeo8o2
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHWXsjMesf
'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.'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGmAxCJJUj

'What about the prisoners, sire?' asked Chancellor Parrin, bringing me to a halt.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LZ1ZrvuPI
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1BTHujK69
'What's the usual practice?'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSGb2edFiE
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx779vvL6Ot
The chancellor shrugged, 'keep them locked up and perhaps arrange an exchange or include them in truce negotiations?'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCTiCaaDwH
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbBehUs4kD
'The problem there is food. We are desperately short. There's no tradition of killing prisoners then?'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf9ZHd69Kk

443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJfMIMMvGD
'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.'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdtmF2vNqG

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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs5B15MuJ7
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36pFQ9vWZD
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6KEMpQX4Y

'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.'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMFp6FDUfs

'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."'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ162rWLbF6y
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zFv6IiDSy
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNznVhgHdC

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.'443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDpYYbIFVL
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsVMLtgMf1
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY7phcTqjJ

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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk1bHT7IKG
