Sacred Chevalier

Lesson 81: Plague

Ursu Taiji, as it is named "Taiji," must climb a gentle uphill hill if entering from Parkshire Prefecture. As a result, the supply line carries a load greater than the distance. Naturally, the Royal Army also prepares a large number of horses assuming it, plus the Luftvan Chamber of Commerce, the Kingdom's largest chamber of commerce, is responsible for securing and transporting supplies. But still, 60,000 troops consume enormous amounts of food, leaves. It was a common sense decision to make the burden of replenishment a little lighter: what can be procured locally is local.

"You're lucky the well was safe. No, it's a burglar at best. I guess I never thought of anything like throwing poison into the well and overloading this supply."

"You're right. Only the central army, led by the general, will be able to calm this platform down."

"Due to the great success of Ursu Taiji Ping, Master Damian will finally have the Marshal's Staff once he returns to Wang Du"

When General Damian Javar, who commands the central army, laughs with his nose, the following staff members follow him in unison. To get in, the Javalist nobles were sending their staff to Damien, just to be the men of the Duke of Javar family, all of whom are expected to be in a position to take military power within the kingdom. Sooner or later, if you become Marshal, all the rights in the county will be monopolized by the Javalists. They were all those who praised Damien and tried to lift him up anyway in an attempt to give him a little "zero (spill)."

(All of which I'll crush the Fairchild family as well. That busty little girl would open her crotch crying too. Kuck kuck......)

So is Damian, but the fantasy of men about virgins is extremely strong. "You can't get the protection of a goddess unless you're the first man," which means who you dedicate your virginity to is equal to the biggest decision of your life for a woman. That's why Damian was a "virgin lover". Because I believe that tearing more virgins indicates a man's piercing.

"Based on this settlement trail, we're going to take control of the Ursus plateau. We need to work with Father, but we need to split up the army into several parts and look for other settlements. With two wells, we can't support 60,000 troops."

The Royal Army of 60,000, with the Duke of Augusto Javar as general generals, had camped about thirty kilometres from the border of Parkshire province into Ursus plateau. There were two wells in the settlement trail, and when I found out after trying them both were available, I started using them as water for horses. Water for 60,000 people cannot just be secured, so it is transported from Parkshire Prefecture.

"Split the army into five parts and proceed to fill the Urus plateau. Send out an advance party to search the settlements and water fields and secure them as soon as they are discovered. Either way, if we make contact with the thieves, we will destroy this."

"In the Parkshire unrest ahead, Sir LeBlanc's activism should be reducing the number of thieves. This one is divided into five parts, each army more than 10,000. You'll be able to wipe it out without a problem."

"But I think it's a problem to go too north. Stimulate the empire and you could be a snake. Why don't we start off by moving up to the border with the small state county of the East and then slowly head north from there"

Further east of Ursus Taiwan, there are several urban states. Until now, however, they had crossed a wilderness called Ursu Taiji, so they had hardly come and gone to each other. If we were to achieve results on this expedition, it would be about a new trading route due to Ursu Taipei control. Regardless, this trading route is to be monopolized by the Luftvan Chamber of Commerce.

"If you put it in the back of the Ursus platform, that makes it harder to replenish it. Water first. Make sure the water is secure as a top priority, and move on with each one."

At the direction of the General, the Royal Army was divided into five parts. The General will remain in this settlement site and prepare for the showdown. The central army was to head northeast and the deputy general, Marquis Dunton, was to head east. Thus, Operation Ursus Taipei Control was launched. It was at the end of August 488, the history of the kingdom.

When the invasion of Ursus Taipei began, clouds of war were also standing in the Atlas Ocean. The Imperial Navy has finally begun its southbound journey. It is General Victor Dovishew who binds the navy guarding Roda's military port. Falanx on land, famous enough to be hailed as Dovish on the sea, but his perception of cannons (canons) was slightly different. Faranx was wary that the advent of artillery would change the shape of land warfare, but Dovish was not so wary.

"Admittedly, it's a powerful weapon, but I don't think it's enough to change naval warfare. The battle of land is a battle of positions, so to speak, of 'faces and surfaces'. So this weapon will be effective. But naval warfare is a battle of 'dots and dots' between ships. Even if you put it on a large ship less susceptible to waves, you can't let it hit the 'dot' of a ship from a distance, and while each other's ships are in motion. I guess the way to use it is to aim and shoot close for a deck fight. Then this way of fighting is decided. Instead of riding sideways, you just need to get to the tip of the road. Put such a heavy mon on it. You can't put a soldier on deck. Bring it into the White Soldier War and Koch will win."

Naturally, the Empire would think the same way and have cannons on their tips. But the cannon that can be placed on the thin tip is at most one or two gates. If you let the sturdy tip get close, it won't be easy to destroy with the cannon.

"If you become a large ship that puts cannons on, you won't be able to get around small. Stand by for the Holy Knight (Paladin) at once and you will be overwhelmed by numbers."

The staff were of the same opinion. Naval warfare is a "reading" of currents and winds. The captain reads and directs, the Marines steer the ship as quickly as instructed to catch up from a vantage point, and then the number of soldiers determines the battle. In naval warfare, artillery can only be used when grounded. Having actually seen the Kingdom-made cannon, developed by the Fairchild family, Dovish concluded so.

"But it is certain that we will need a different manoeuvre than conventional naval warfare. You'll need training."

More than a month after these meetings, Roda's navy has continued to train ships. And finally, a naval battle in the Atlas Ocean was about to begin. Dovish of war knows so much about the foolishness of insulting his enemies that he doesn't like it. So no matter how much training I got, I wasn't caught off guard.

to Dovish, who was arming himself in the sea breeze on the deck,

"I see it! It's a big ship of the Empire!

A loud noise sounded from above the mast. Unwrapping the arms he was putting together, Dovish had an awesome grin like a pirate.

"Bastards! You're gonna kill me like you always do! Kill all the pigs in the Empire!

The men's roar continued.

In the residence of the Duke of Fairchild in Istalone, Wang capital, Kite had received lectures on naval and naval warfare. I'm not going to go to Roda's military port, but it's because of the decision that it would be better to know a wide range of military knowledge. The lecturer is an active Navy officer who is involved with the Fairchild family.

"In this way, naval warfare is a bump of dots and dots, basically one ship at a time. It's almost impossible to deal with more than one on one ship."

"Sure, it's very different from a land war. More importantly, it is interesting to note that before the strength of each soldier or the number of the Holy Knights, the manoeuvring technique dictates. In other words, each ship hits apart on a wide ocean, killing each other one-on-one. Sometimes it's called the formation of a ship, but its importance is considerably lower than that of land."

"That's right. Ships moving in the wind, in the waves, and in the currents are difficult to maintain a clean formation like land warfare. In the end, it's a war of attrition. The reason why kingdoms and empires don't want a decisive showdown is because it's damaging whether you win or lose"

Kate nodded and got the model on the desk. In addition to one main mast, there is an outflow from left to right. It is a so-called "galley ship". Place it on two desks and move it with each hand.

"The bows bump into each other and embark on enemy ships. The slayer captain will be the Holy Knight. But if you maneuver well, you can hit the bow on the side of the enemy and destroy every ship..."

Kate continued to move the ship, whining to herself. A glance at it, Flora Fairchild asks the officer.

"I don't mind your senses. Do you think cannons can be used on ships?

Then the officer looked difficult.

"To be honest, I don't know how to operate. For example, if you strike a ball of steel from the bow of a ship, this one is also pointed at the bow. It will be difficult to destroy in one blow. Because of the size of the cannon, there are at most two doors on the bow."

Flora nodded and also inquired about the case of placing them in line on the ship's belly. But again, the officer tilted his neck. It can be a powerful weapon, but it can also be lost.

"Regardless of about two gates, when you line up a few gates on each side, left and right, and put a lot more up to steel balls, you can't afford to put rowers on it. Even if I put it on a sailboat and moved it just by the wind, I wouldn't be able to maneuver it fine and I wouldn't be able to set my aim. I'm sorry about Flora, but the idea of the Navy is that we should use artillery for military port defense and so on."

When I heard that story, Flora started thinking about it too. Didn't I get a little too far ahead of myself? R&D of artillery would not be a mistake in itself, but listening to naval officers also seemed not to be enough to change naval warfare.

"The Empire will understand that, too. I mean, this time, are you going to fight for the experimental operation of the cannon...?

"No, it can't be."

Kate categorically denied Flora's whining. Face up from the model and stare at Flora.

"Austro Tormakia is a famous general, but he has more hegemony as a king than that. That man couldn't have done such a far-fetched thing. I would be willing to achieve more decisive results than I have embarked on a naval battle"

"But in fact, as the voice of the field, most of the opinions seem to be that it can't be used. What does Mr. Kite think about this?

"The Empire has a genius inventor, Lizaris Prada. Maybe he's inventing something unexpected. In any case, an empire inferior to national power came out to sea following land. There's no profit whatsoever, and I don't think we're going to have that kind of a streak. I have a chance. There is a chance to defeat the kingdom and kill it in the military port of Roda…"

And Kate was silent. We've only exchanged words for a few moments, but I'm pretty sure Austro Tormakia has a winning chance. But I don't know what it is. I chewed my lips at the thought.

When ten days had passed since the invasion of Ursutaiji began, one problem was emerging in the main management closest to Parkshire Prefecture. An unexplained illness caused the soldier to begin to fall.

"It's already over a hundred people, but the cause is unknown. There have been a few people who have been down their bellies for a few days now, plus vomiting and fever, which is a pretty serious matter."

"In fact, a similar report has come from Parkshire Prefecture. It doesn't seem to be spreading due to immediate quarantine, but there are some victims in the Knights."

"Humph, pity. For the most part, you must have fallen ill in unfamiliar land. In the meantime, gather the sick in one place and give him an allowance. As soon as I recover, I'll send you to the front."

Below the general's Augusto, the upper management was unaware of the seriousness of the matter. Because it is not uncommon for people to belly down in food and so on, and some recovered. It would also be due to the fact that there were no sick people in their upper management. They were drinking wine carried from the Wang capital, not well water.

Meanwhile, around that time, there was a massive segregation policy in Parkshire Prefecture, with thorough hand-washing encouragement and boiling of water. The Second Knights, by their very nature, move to various parts of the vast national territory. From this experience, I realized as soon as possible that there was a cause for the water. It was also saved by a number of people named 2000. The labor and the cost are considerable, but if they consumed enough water, they could boil it.

"Be sure to boil and use the well water you draw out! Wash the vessels and cups with water and wipe them with a clean cloth. And let the sick slowly drink salt and sugar in the water. If anything goes wrong with your health, report it immediately!

Carlos, who had been boiling and using well water ever since he came to the land, had not had any problems with his health. The second division captain has become ill, so Carlos is directing as his surrogate. Because the bordering province of Parkshire is also rich in forests, it is essential for boiling water fuel. Put the well water in the cauldron, let it boil and cool. Place the white water in a water bag and distribute to the residents. Rapid movement and precise instructions greatly increased the Second Knights' appreciation in the periphery. But he couldn't be happier.

(Kate...... were you expecting this? If so, is this also an enemy ploy? I've never even heard of a plague!

Fortunately, however, the land is within the kingdom, not the Ursus plateau. Mathias, the Second Knight Commander, sent a messenger to the Imperial capital to inform him of the situation, as well as to ask the neighboring nobles to supply salt and sugar. Weakened sick people can't speak of meat, bread, etc. But you can drink salt and sugar melted water. It was a "sick diet and cure" passed down from ancient times because it had a lower mortality rate than just drinking water.

"Captain! We have a rush to use from Ursu Taipei!

It was on September 13th that further tragic news reached the Second Knights, who thought they could overcome the crisis.

"What are you doing! Get up quickly. It's useless!

Damian Javar, a central army general, let the sick and falling soldiers curse him. He did not suffer because of two of his favorite concubines brought from the Wang capital. "Luck" was on his side. But the good fortune is he alone. Half of the central army has fallen to an unexplained disease, and the other half has its morale to the bottom. The majority of them are peasant militias. He was brought out of the country like this, and the plague is spreading. There's no way you're willing to fight.

"General. Once here, we should withdraw. Half of our army is already falling ill and the damage is spreading further. I can't fight very well with this. If you withdraw now, you'll have to sacrifice less."

"The thieves will be just under two thousand! Even if you're half way there, you can win enough! In what respects, you can return to the king's capital with congratulations without any fruit!

How many civilians have died? Get rid of the sick here. Damien wanted to scream that way for real. But if you speak of it, the central army will completely disintegrate. I manage to convince myself with the idea of separating the sick and moving on in half.

"Leave the minimum food and hygiene soldiers behind. Useless bastards!

That's right, he threw it away, and Damian rode the horse. But it was no longer the army that was leading it. It goes without saying that from that night on, dozens of "leavers" began to emerge.

Camilla Slansky The folks of the Lucian tribe below blued their faces in the news. From the south to the east of Ursu Taiji, it is said to be filled with the groans of more than 10,000 sick people. It was all set up by the skinny man in front of us, Ilham Sinan.

"... I really didn't know it would cause a plague. Are you the incarnation of Vastal, the god of destruction?

"Things have quite a cause. Naturally, I'm sick too. Once the cause is known, it will also be possible to create the cause. Sixty thousand troops should be scattered and supplies from Parkshire Prefecture unstoppable. All you have to do is destroy each weakness. Don't try to keep me alive badly, okay? The disease is highly infectious. If we let him live, he'll wind up this way. Be sure to burn the body down."

It is as if it were the work of the devil, such as artificially generating plagues. And from now on, let's have more fear. Even Camilla just snorted, like killing 60,000 people. It would also be impossible to pray to the goddess Wellos on the inside.

"The majority of the Royal Army are peasant militias in their 20s and 30s. If we lose 60,000 of that, there will be a crack in the kingdom's stalk. It will be a good time to attack for the Empire. We made it."

"Do you want me to lend it to you to recognize the independence of the Lucian people? If it were a newly acquired land, the Empire would admit it."

"That's right. It will occupy this Ursu plateau to the northeast of the kingdom and become a third force. The kingdom is huge. No matter how much we lose sixty thousand, we will not perish immediately. We just have to watch the kingdom and empire crush each other."

Generate kings with this hand. It was one of Ilham Sinan's dreams. It would be my greatest pleasure as a military teacher to watch the great powers go right and left with their own schemes.

"Everybody, cover your nose and mouth with a cloth. They're half dead sick anyway. Just be careful not to get sick."

Thus the coalition of the Lucians and bandits, who had been retreating to the northern part of Ursus Taiwan, set out to stab the Royal Army on the verge of death and illness. The greatest tragedy in the history of the Holy Fersis kingdom was about to begin.
