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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep1N5bPurN
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrJjkcqNlg
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC0cEP9WUY
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2S9XmIPH4
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTPRR93NKX
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fJqzuPAO0
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqXY02XLAc
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YwtSfP29p

'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.'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkJXsBsw61
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGvJyuFdch
'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?'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofa08ec57o
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbc5lAdckV
'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.'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgpHMgzLnj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTp7EYlBAa
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlLM9Yejub
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztYtiCQI80
'Tournaments?' he looked puzzled. 'Of thousands?'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9O2asTCGE

'Yes, indeed.'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys9a3nkcI4

'Did the soldiers die though?' asked Carlena.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpj9KUP1Js
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudf9C1nceS
'They died as if they were soldiers, but most were only… models.'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4aNstNbtl

'Yes. That's quite a good comparison.'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoKsMH6s72
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGirlQjPIZY
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82pi7gewjz

'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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RM1wbaie4
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dDpHJTnZE
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMOTPEdtK9

'Apologies for the interruption sire, we have the coin.'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOkoIr0R5p

'How much.'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdQGKyE6MB
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUGppAJPhV
'Ten gold, a hundred and seventy-two silver and a thousand one hundred and eighteen copper. Plus a few bent and clipped ones.'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSLZQMsS9u
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ymsb71Q9U
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 4.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAyWiEsNzU
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R76zQe1vJ
'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.'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUu9rfypcJ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCVQiZ7A5J
'Very well sire.'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcxU1HxIdm
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo7eUF0La3
The soldiers were getting about a month's pay. Not a bad reward and surely one that would help with my popularity.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9M4Z5a4YT
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSOYYsQNaq
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMBhO01LQ1

'Lord Arval, any thoughts on our dispositions before I go?'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlVBziErdF
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vphRNYB3b
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.'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeElfnVMeNs
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh380Wgwjx
'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.'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrzAbHIGGx
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGyRNxsjGd
'Wait. Shouldn't we consider going on the offensive?' Carlena asked. 'Their morale must be shaken right now.'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWyk2tYM3Z

The three of them looked at me.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdZm5UPwBY
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT3EaBVvaP
'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.'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrghv2EW4I

'What about the prisoners, sire?' asked Chancellor Parrin, bringing me to a halt.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FPR5v24Ha

'What's the usual practice?'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJYpfemCHT

349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMq8x0m5Cf
'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.'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrKcoh4lVU

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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDZZbCMSvE
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7B7Rz85ua
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFrItTYemm

'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.'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjcfAy0ZOy

'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."'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz7KiWlHdr
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUETDpyPVB

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.'349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbxvoRWDTW
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M5yyOc5VY
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEKVsRvmBz

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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL6I4TdoXM
