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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtHj2TqXuj
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu0qIga6o6
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWofJ1pOAc
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq97SmEUc7
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBzlhALkHS
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN9inpOl4n
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nORccKviq
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRsE7ZlrJr
'I'll answer that question, Lord Arval, but first I have to explain something about the world I come from.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVxQbXRc81

'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.'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wDB4trEez
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHGWl0umLB
'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?'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH9gSIE2ZN
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKt2Ss2h04
'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.'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPETh0FXya
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoUPODBJIf
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlrSRbBXbX
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9iu0I0lXU
'Tournaments?' he looked puzzled. 'Of thousands?'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoA5a4FBYn
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGiWD90WxD
'Yes, indeed.'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKAPHoM4C5
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDo7KRq6BR
'Did the soldiers die though?' asked Carlena.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44gsD2QZeC
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkBUqSREa1
'They died as if they were soldiers, but most were only… models.'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcrMk21wvq
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgDpBgFC1B
'Golems?' she offered.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lVg4vuzgP
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI0owxBjrY
'Yes. That's quite a good comparison.'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKgpffi1Rd
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBgdx4VR3U
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTM6JNkhKv
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sKJ6UTAGJ
'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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdioxzeVXM
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFtHuByQvB
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK0gS0bZdm
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77Cd2tAJbf
'Apologies for the interruption sire, we have the coin.'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b4IxStoph
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4qrAy6tk0
'How much.'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1f44VUR1j
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkwgNBsOc6
'Ten gold, a hundred and seventy-two silver and a thousand one hundred and eighteen copper. Plus a few bent and clipped ones.'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREKupt6aIv
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0DEVQRd1L
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 4.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTduqjkIGiL
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAEBScGsKs
'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.'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDERkV3ekx
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2nETMpS2z
'Very well sire.'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiZl9P9ET1
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4XciYivnS
The soldiers were getting about a month's pay. Not a bad reward and surely one that would help with my popularity.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hBgZvdRmb
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bX9ObiCut
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHmQPDO0UX
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bvBLGnJVd
'Lord Arval, any thoughts on our dispositions before I go?'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqCQ7fTvRP
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb7igvX4c6
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.'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJFgcjqFte
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCnDz7mOjU
'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.'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBn76trmZo
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgNi6gX2Fr
'Wait. Shouldn't we consider going on the offensive?' Carlena asked. 'Their morale must be shaken right now.'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg9pjC8U6z
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBQGmXX7To
The three of them looked at me.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ285WIBnwcW
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3NtaszKgi
'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.'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWZ4Q5SxGZ
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa492E7Bsma
The Sorceress nodded and I continued on to the top of the stairs.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDdxIQV9sx

'What about the prisoners, sire?' asked Chancellor Parrin, bringing me to a halt.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3Nxfj1Xgq
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxin9pT12OV
'What's the usual practice?'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcO9DLDCn0
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e98e1Iy9C
The chancellor shrugged, 'keep them locked up and perhaps arrange an exchange or include them in truce negotiations?'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Uh8A7wicu
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdLuwvg92u
'The problem there is food. We are desperately short. There's no tradition of killing prisoners then?'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMxt2Oa0B6

'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.'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPeU6S9JQ1
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkds5C8DAo
'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.'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqc3bqFJtf

He nodded and still poised to descend the stairs – impatient as I was to get back to Carrick – I addressed the Paladin.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71LP7JHpav

272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDASWVNw7KK
'Then please use it on Parrin when you can. And how about you Sorceress?'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4NYEU5T79

272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aKgWjvXrQ
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uVuCyMPo0
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWBJ2SE2Pa
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnRmHPkY0Y

'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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS13qrysJvS

'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.'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAq9DKyqrG

'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."'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdoY0frram
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV20S6iO2U2
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynAK0NZFoR
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDg4zbrs9V

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.'272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNPyTAj3j5
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkywX1Rxp5X
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBH43Ohubq

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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOvrTyfhSk
