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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKT0DRMhwh
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0CBSsQy0a
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6Gni2zqEK
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLKKCLI0bF
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbaDMNfkmC
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2QrcU6bdv
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf23ZAP19vM
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL44ZKljGct
'I'll answer that question, Lord Arval, but first I have to explain something about the world I come from.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8aSjYWLDF

'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.'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynarZ6cAOe
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKwGFxebn9
'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?'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdRlk8x3YP
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl4T1xR96r
'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.'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt0huQfuGv
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZZwGwYvAT
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡithauzjEA5
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHG3HNV75V
'Tournaments?' he looked puzzled. 'Of thousands?'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNABuSOOYI
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC12LPttzU0
'Yes, indeed.'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc5jfxQWQ9
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCj2aC4oTV
'Did the soldiers die though?' asked Carlena.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJCoVprH1v
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qcoq9OvH5
'They died as if they were soldiers, but most were only… models.'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvGsGm6xyE
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYv3ZdVPJr
'Golems?' she offered.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48mGMmZMF5
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRlpAc3GKY
'Yes. That's quite a good comparison.'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGoKBCLGg6
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPsTVW3Vlh
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEw2HfD96Z
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulf0t9WpSo
'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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wDl217uzJ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvOuEXiq9m
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnHOXkVuWx
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EQuZv0qjD
'Apologies for the interruption sire, we have the coin.'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3XoQINU0i
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pgI7WO3tM
'How much.'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNT1wViKZT
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UQN9hYmNk
'Ten gold, a hundred and seventy-two silver and a thousand one hundred and eighteen copper. Plus a few bent and clipped ones.'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWM58LxIpI
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkwkWY9sBJ
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 4.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsG5bHvQJj
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0eSZKZ76X
'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.'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZSgCJPG0c
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKKMMLInoI
'Very well sire.'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx2lrGY6SC
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVc5RD4I9Q
The soldiers were getting about a month's pay. Not a bad reward and surely one that would help with my popularity.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbsXytvbKD
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui03OtcknJ
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZHZ4E5LKe
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NgwjHlpRs
'Lord Arval, any thoughts on our dispositions before I go?'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU1V7Jaa8c
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gAlwQ7Bys
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.'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA43gbUuisY
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWE9be8fLM
'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.'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y6UITZh2u
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ik0amODMm
'Wait. Shouldn't we consider going on the offensive?' Carlena asked. 'Their morale must be shaken right now.'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbV0KBXb46
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNAdrjAWUi
The three of them looked at me.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FqGWCn0Db
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMEi7py180
'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.'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lWsDjSEkI
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcwnw1Daaf
The Sorceress nodded and I continued on to the top of the stairs.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQlM7PVbRm

'What about the prisoners, sire?' asked Chancellor Parrin, bringing me to a halt.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsm1IbGhMs
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVMEsPFdaM
'What's the usual practice?'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCBRH8mB2b
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWisOuxjPZ
The chancellor shrugged, 'keep them locked up and perhaps arrange an exchange or include them in truce negotiations?'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY8IBmPJL3
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66eFUgLQlR
'The problem there is food. We are desperately short. There's no tradition of killing prisoners then?'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2INra0QZF

'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.'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kIjtywtnP
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QCDHyVOSY
'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.'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetORLfVtCe

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NTXfsXi0g
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9rHYnyQfu
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX6EDUzAQA
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3szTCBh2Du

'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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEdMQ6W41c

'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.'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgGORs6bJS

'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."'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNCEW6OtBZ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTKf2DtUas
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R0QokzJDY

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.'352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKWWiy2R6U
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFZnE6hKMg
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs3dVkUCfv

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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBHV1QMiqQ
