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.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEpmAxw8xu
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXVjUUnRBv
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.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIN4rf2qKk
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GE9ypXJb3
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.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD4m8DMx3U
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD0y30M418
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.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwXsDfWrmu
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlM7zXglu8

'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.'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wMnGL9UeY
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8C0HvAlWG
'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?'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhg1CwJxVk
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVMys5uuie
'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.'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUnc9zjZaB
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrFHhxLmlQ
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.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkT79I5u0u
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs7tP242vX
'Tournaments?' he looked puzzled. 'Of thousands?'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI2rgNyh3o
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyHBrwCm8z
'Yes, indeed.'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEsqFeOTdp

'Did the soldiers die though?' asked Carlena.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PSmlwYcSX
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoIx2n0Tpd
'They died as if they were soldiers, but most were only… models.'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7dCu0Wu7e

'Yes. That's quite a good comparison.'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJqQMwbJ9G
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDPj1XZdhq
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.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPR9NihS0r
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa7ItUWX5s
'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.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7BCP12M5I
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OcKEYe24a
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.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFTc6ancnK

'Apologies for the interruption sire, we have the coin.'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3BOChEl6Q

'How much.'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZWFSkrjNh
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hUb0HS0LX
'Ten gold, a hundred and seventy-two silver and a thousand one hundred and eighteen copper. Plus a few bent and clipped ones.'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA55IuILiM
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y9ZmTFqvH
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 4.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGYZOL9cVB
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye9OIIVoGl
'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.'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVkBkeXyce

'Very well sire.'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw5XHR7qlq

The soldiers were getting about a month's pay. Not a bad reward and surely one that would help with my popularity.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQvZ2GOgSl
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ9wTh1I4b
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.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XKCd89rY3

'Lord Arval, any thoughts on our dispositions before I go?'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0cFXNQ7Pt
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmFcEC0oy3
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.'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpeI34ndMi
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPGIP4xOXf
'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.'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhat4MwBJ5
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZdcYes6y8
'Wait. Shouldn't we consider going on the offensive?' Carlena asked. 'Their morale must be shaken right now.'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu48sjTO6E
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz9djq5sF1
The three of them looked at me.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbdogIuYsS
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfwdcmrgA7
'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.'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL8wF0I5XO

'What about the prisoners, sire?' asked Chancellor Parrin, bringing me to a halt.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo8oQIecON

'What's the usual practice?'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzygAvU4RpX

The chancellor shrugged, 'keep them locked up and perhaps arrange an exchange or include them in truce negotiations?'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8LnrV3hET
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ6R4wCiV5
'The problem there is food. We are desperately short. There's no tradition of killing prisoners then?'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiUnmUhQR2

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBcz7S8C7H
'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.'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAU7XsksDy

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.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyf7oXse2y
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpTitIS2gq
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.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg4wdp62hW

'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.'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFeWJtpyO5

'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."'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2Re7F8b3P
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8LbpnVqkH
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.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfm7ggAKFn
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl7wunMHZz

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.'235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3zzSb9D6K
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzoJMQUOSK
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.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVmGZYHLis

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.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNViMIHQr0q
