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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3itFqvaDSB
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj0IaT9xT5
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gn2qVBOLw
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBH55oosB6
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHAdl1FSrH
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxpoBDrrAM
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lo14qndML
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHk0be63Nw

'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.'307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gkDRkWHsu
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIIJMfooZ3
'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?'307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5B5665AO7
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9QC6SI14g
'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.'307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2d33TlqSB
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAgMneIO1a
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7E2BXF9vb
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgeOthNjQM
'Tournaments?' he looked puzzled. 'Of thousands?'307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOt1gJI1Ln

'Did the soldiers die though?' asked Carlena.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSp9waaJT4
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOZfKeEzSp
'They died as if they were soldiers, but most were only… models.'307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA70R2H67uF

307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfwM2jyLGq
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rgBszsAjv
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNchRFqOUug
'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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0jmfMcfSa
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6UfMzJ4vd
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK3sQNaAO3

'How much.'307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY88XS81Rb3
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdousU4In4J
'Ten gold, a hundred and seventy-two silver and a thousand one hundred and eighteen copper. Plus a few bent and clipped ones.'307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFyee15Lqj
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZxCVTf3cv
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 4.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70nTBkvmDu
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOK53kZZQz
'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.'307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj9M7bB2kL

The soldiers were getting about a month's pay. Not a bad reward and surely one that would help with my popularity.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoucJtmLAqU
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vVK156CBC
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcehgtzNqm5

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.'307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi3gFU2lN9
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIcSzHjQck
'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.'307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtvZS6udSg
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpigUorU8Z
'Wait. Shouldn't we consider going on the offensive?' Carlena asked. 'Their morale must be shaken right now.'307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9WSKlW5Kq

The three of them looked at me.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpIzeLQOfI
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZgA6OjL8R
'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.'307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjMOrH6zDX

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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVEsjEPUXf

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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZybUJTF5IF

'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."'307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejdNfQfDip

307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ucRs1rZBo
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELPZNndeo9

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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD78mASPGw
