Chapter 89
–Aegir POV–
The springtime training exercise that continued for several weeks is reaching its end, and I can start to see fatigue and boredom form even on the faces of those in the lords’ armies, who were previously showing off their movements like some majestic decoration .
「Nevertheless, your army formation is strange . Regardless of how vast our territories are, to have over half of your entire army consist of cavalry, you won’t be able to form a half-decent composition . 」
In the middle of the exercise, Erich would come over to me whenever he could . I understand that the other squads are miserable to watch, but there are other new nobles who will be used as the core of the army who also have private armies too . Compared to them, Erich is clearly beside me at a way higher ratio . I wanted to flirt with Celia, Irijina and the others too .
「Is there a reason why you divided your army into infantry and cavalry for the training?」
As expected, just by looking at the contents of the training, he noticed that instead of working on the cooperation between infantry and cavalry, I’m using them separately .
「If you have the cavalry and infantry advance together, it would kill the marching speed . It’s inevitable for an attack on an encampment, but you can use the mobility of the cavalry to your advantage during a night raid . 」
「That’s how it is . 」
Leopolt whispers in my ear, and I only added a last word in the explanation to Erich . Erich makes a resigned face .
If a normal cavalry unit is used to supplement the army, a well-trained longspear unit can completely stop it, so that composition won’t work . However, bow cavalry are extremely effective against longspears, so if they are used in conjunction with regular cavalry, even a pure cavalry unit is enough to topple the enemy’s defences .
But if I explain this to him, he’ll ask more questions, so I didn’t say anything . Irijina is holding her crotch and waiting for Erich to leave anyways . It looks like the enormous amount of semen I shot in her earlier is leaking out .
「Any formation is fine . Just do training that would make them last in actual combat……just spare me from the names like ‘holy light’ or ‘gale’ or whatever . 」
Erich looks like he’s had enough . A small grin appears on my face, but I immediately change my expression to a serious one . At last, the pure white juices ran down Irijina’s thighs . It’s quite the amount, if I do say so myself .
「What I’m about to say from this point on is to be shared only amongst those present here . 」
Celia hastily gets her notepad out .
「I don’t think I need to explain but…… it won’t be long before Treia and our nation go to war with each other . 」
I stay silent while nodding . It’s really something that doesn’t require explaining .
「Treia seems to be abandoning its defenses on the former Arkland territory . The nobles and big merchants are also migrating and returning back to their home country one after the other . The work on restoring the castle walls of Arkland, the former capital city, has also been halted . 」
「Are they giving up the occupied territory and devoting their attention to their homeland?」
It’s certain that they can stabilize their domestic affairs and security if their scope is smaller .
「No, the relentless pressure from the heavy tax and rebellion from the past still persists . Rather than abandoning their rule, they are making a strategic judgement, preparing for situations against our country . 」
「Was there a castle in the northern area of Treia’s home country?」
「Umu, there was a line of fortresses in the northern city that protected them from Arkland, but recently it appears that line of fortresses is undergoing repair and reinforcement . 」
Fumu, so that mean’s that they’ve completely gone into a passive state .
「There’s also the fact that they’re conscripting soldiers and reinforcing their army, but in regards to that, our nation’s pace of reinforcement is faster…… but that fortress is a heavily armored building which has been continuously fortified for close to 100 years . If it has been modified in such a way that it can work together alongside the other castles, then even if we have a large army, we won’t be able to take it down in a short period of time . 」
「Is there a need to obediently and naively pass through the western highway?」
No matter what kind of fortress it is, it’s not going to extend infinitely . The only part it defends should be the main highway in the west and the plains area and it shouldn’t stretch to the eastern region .
「Well the thing is, we can’t do that either . The only decently maintained highway is in the west, so if we go to the east, we would have to take a long detour, not to mention it’s the wilderness so it would take considerably more time . If there aren’t any large cities along the way, we won’t be able to supply provisions to the army either . 」
Right now, the central army has expanded to a size of close to 70 000 . Just providing food to the army requires us to hold down quite a large city, and unless we use a maintained highway, it would be near impossible to transport supplies from Goldonia’s mainland . With that said, it’s not a wise idea to split our forces and make a detour right in the middle of the enemy camp either .
「But it’s not contiguous and it doesn’t continue endlessly right?」
「But there aren’t really any weak points . Of course there are several points where there are gaps, but those areas are swamps and cliffs . If we try to attack from there, they’ll really get us all in one fell swoop . 」
I’ve heard that Treia traditionally excels at using defensive tactics . It means they have an advantage in the fortress .
「So that means we breakthrough from the front?」
「At the moment, I believe that’s the most reliable option . We can gather the craftsmen and have them make a large catapult or ballista, but it might take some time . 」
That reminds me, there aren’t many siege weapons in my army . There’s only that pipe that blows fire . I’ll share it with him a little bit later .
「They are also starting to construct a defensive encampment to the west of our territory . I don’t think you’ll be able to breakthrough them as easily as last time, but I want you to somehow threaten them from the east and lure some of their forces out of the fortress . 」
「I know . 」
I already know about those little things they’re doing slowly near the border . There are some people who insisted that we should also construct a defensive encampment to match them, but going on the defense doesn’t fit my personality . It’s better to attack them before you get attacked .
Erich said that if there were any changes to the situation, he might summon me back to the capital after the training . After declaring such a strange warning, he left . Celia is memorizing the conversation we had using her mental notepad and closes her eyes in deep thought . Irijina turns red after realizing that all of my seed leaked out .
「Leopolt, is there anything you can do about the conversation we just had?」
「Yes, the details will come after but roughly speaking-」
「I see, do we need a powerful siege weapon?」
If necessary, I’ll go whine to Erich .
「That won’t be necessary…… however, it won’t be bad to have it, so please ask him . 」
What the heck? Does he think it’s free to make me bow my head like this?
「In the first place…… no matter how large it is, it is a well known fact that an immovable fortress can’t win against a mobile army . If no giant can move it, then tiny people can defeat it . 」
If he’s this confident, it’ll all work out . I’ll be injecting some semen into Luna’s hole next then .
A few days later, after the training ended, Capital Goldonia
「「「Cheers . 」」」
The training is finished, so we sit in the bar at the capital . We couldn’t call on all the soldiers to come, so the only ones at the bar are a portion of the commanders, while the other soldiers will get their alcohol at the garrison . Women will be paid for using their own money .
「Please have another cup, chief . 」
「Thanks . 」
Luna is beside me pouring alcohol . I had Celia and Irijina return home first . It goes without saying for Celia, who has weak tolerance to alcohol, but if Irijina drinks, her bottomless pit will empty the store of its alcohol . Plus, if I’m surrounded by too many women, I’ll lose the chance to meet someone new .
「Here you go . 」
「Aah, thannnks…… you have a nice ass, miss . How ’bout a round with me?」
Christoph is just a private so he should have stayed in the garrison, but he’s a friend from the past and has been with me for awhile . My private army is slightly lacking, so I have been continuously letting those who are suitable control units left and right regardless of standing . However, this guy is still a rank-and-file soldier, so that speaks for itself .
「Right, right, if you’re going to stroke my ass, the least you can do is drink on your own dime . 」
It looks like even the girls at the bar are cold to him . As Christoph slumps his shoulders dejectedly, several women get onto a reasonably nice stage in the center of the bar and start dancing . They weren’t trying to plainly expose their naked bodies, but with the deep cuts in the clothing they were wearing, which shows off lots of skin, and their bold dancing, they were stirring up feelings of lust . Before I knew it, there were girls who are probably prostitutes, wearing the same clothes as the dancers in the corner of the bar, waiting for the men who could no longer control their urges .
「Breasts! Let me see your nipples!! Just a little more and I can see her mound!!」
「…………」
「……how vulgar . 」
Even Luna, who doesn’t usually speak ill of people expresses her disdain for Christoph . I’m not one to put on airs either, but it’s pretty horrible this time .
「Uhyooo~~!! What a bouncy ass! Let me suck itt!!」
「Um…… Is Viscount Hardlett-sama enjoying himself?」
The bar girl from earlier sits in Cristoph’s seat, which was vacated after he went up close to watch the dancer .
「Yeah, what about it?」
「Thanks for choosing us for tonight . You’ve given my father one month’s worth of sales, which he’s happy about too . 」
It’s not like I had any particular reason which prompted me to do so . It just looked like this was the closest place to the palace, after I had received the report .
「You’ve also paid such a large amount in advance, Hardlett-sama is truly a kind noble . 」
It’s practically a normal occurrence for a noble to skip out on paying their tabs, especially if they’re expensive . Erich has been lamenting to me that it has been a trend for new nobles who have risen up from the army .
「It’s natural to pay off the alcohol fee . The atmosphere is also quite nice, so there’s no reason to thank me . 」
「Woaaah~~~!! I can see her nipples~~~!!」
「「…………」」
Should I throw this idiot out of here? The prostitutes are calling over the men who are looking lustfully at the dancers one after the other, but are ignoring Christoph . As expected, they also want to choose the man who sleeps with them .
「Heey, Hardlett-sama, there’s a weird person here, so if you’d like, I can give you some special thanks on the second floor too……」
I glance at Luna and she gives me a little nod . It seems she’s way more lenient than Celia when it comes to playing around with other girls and doesn’t mind too much . I place my arm around the bar girl’s waist and she guides me to the stairs that lead up to the second floor .
「……fufu, I actually play around quite a bit . So please taste me plenty, you burly man . 」
Just what I wanted .
「Aaaaaah~~~!! It’s so biiiiig!! And harrrrd!! What the heck is this?!! I’m going to dieeee!! Noooo!!」
「I’m not cumming yet . Endure it a little longer . 」
「Impossible, not possibleee!! Hiiiiiihh! It’s painful, yet feels gooood!!」
I grab the hips of the woman who has curled up like a shrimp and thrust violently . She said that she has played around, so her body is quite developed . When I make love to her, her body is sensitive, but her hole is tight . Right now, I’m forcefully spreading her apart and her insides seem to react positively to that, so I thrust deep inside to satisfy her . She isn’t the prettiest girl, but the way she moans and clings to me is cute, so I’ll get a little rougher with her .
「Ah…………aaah……aau……」
After the girl rocked her hips for a while, she stretched out under me . I’d like to cum about now I guess .
「Hey, I want to cum right about now, is it alright to spray it inside you just like this?」
「aauuu……feels good……I’m gonna break……」
The girl is speaking incoherently and is unable to make proper conversation . I don’t think she’s used any contraceptive, but it might be some kind of fate, whatever .
「Uuu」
「…………aauuuuu」
I fix her hips in place and thrust my meat rod, ejaculating into her . I enter into her depths and push up against her womb as my ejaculation ends, covering her with a blanket for the pillow talk afterwards . Her legs are bow-shaped and she’s sticking out her tongue, making her look pretty outrageous . She’s endlessly drooling onto the sheets . She probably won’t wake up for the next while .
「I’m going back now . You were quite nice . 」
I give her a light kiss, and as I descend the stairs, it looks like the party has finished . The men have either returned to the garrison to sleep or gone into some inn with the prostitutes .
「Welcome back . Good work tonight . 」
It seems Luna was waiting for me . It makes me feel a little awkward when she says ‘good work’ after I’ve slept with another woman .
「Yeah, thanks for waiting . We should get going soon……」
I was about to say we should go back, but something interesting caught my eye .
「……」
There was a small girl silently drinking alcohol in the corner of the slightly messy shop, after the party . If it wasn’t somebody I knew, I would have dropped a fist on her and told her that kids need to hurry and go sleep, however, that girl is a fully-fledged adult…… if I recall, she should be turning 20 .
「Natalie, what are you doing at this time?」
The girl is the wife of the perverted dandy, Andrei . Every time I see her, she doesn’t look more than 10 years old .
