Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

[This chapter was twice the size than the usual so I hope you enjoy this for a while. I was fired up from the release of the previous chapter so I did another chapter without much sleep. Who even needs sleep right? I've tried to make the translation more better than the previous work. I have to do translation and editor work both alone so takes alot of time. Nothing a few days of no sleep can't solve]

TL:Killerpants

The translation is not totally accurate and may have some errors. If found then please point them out so I can edit them.

About 50 people were taken as prisoners.

And about 100 were killed during the fight.

From the enemy 200, 50 people seem to have ran away.

Also, from the information received from the captured captives, I understood some of the enemy’s strategies.

After all, it seems that the enemy was not aiming for our village but for the capital of Kingdom of Rosaith.

If you went from this side of the forest and headed west you could walk right into the country of Rosaith.

This is close to the city of King Rosaith, so if you control this place you can launch a surprise attack.

Although many people do not enter the forest, King Ferme seems to be not fearful of Griffon and took such a bold step. And it turned out that 400 troops commanded by King Ferme were headed towards here.

As expected 400 seems to be tough.

"Are there any dead or injured on our side?" (Almis)

I ask a while a little nervous.

"No one died. There are ten injured people, five of them were shallow wounds, three were slashed by enemies, the other two had a broken bone"

Ron reported.

It was good ... ... no one seems to have died.

"Show me the injured, we need to treat them" (Almis)

I'm not a doctor, but I can tell if it is a simple injury or needs some treatment.

Scrape and abrasion had to be washed with alcohol and clean cloths.

Fracture only required firmly fixing the bones at their right place and let it heal.

For the cuts and slashes, simply holding the wound together by a bandage was enough.

Humans in our village are strongly influenced by the protection of my divine blessing, so no one will not die from such wounds.

"Well, the next thing is 400 soldiers led by King Ferme ... ..."

It will not be as easy as it was a while ago.

"I’ll need to explain the circumstances to King Rosaith again, maybe he could be awake by now, I will go agree to come under his umbrella if I can move back the enemy reinforcements"

"Tetra, Soyon. I am sorry about this but can you go do some reconnaissance? While, Lulu go and report to Volos about our victory over here. Please be careful."

"I understand "

"Yes!"

"OK !! "

The three go to get the soul release grass.

Now, we need to prepare for the next move we are going to make.

______________________________________________________________

(King of Ferme’s POV)

"Your side was defeated?"

Ferme doubted his ears.

"Yes ... suddenly there was fire, the soldiers started to blow off one after another ...... " (soldier)

“Is there such a magic?" (Ferme)

Ferme asked the magician.

"I have never heard of such a magic, otherwise it would had been a big deal.”

" Is that really the case?" (Ferme)

Ferme overlooks the soldier in front of him.

The soldiers seem to tremble with a blue face.

“The soldiers seem to be telling the truth, you can tell by their shivering expressions that they are scared.”

Ferme placed his hands on his chin and debated about this “new magic”.

"There is a serious problem!!" A military soldier arrives at King Ferme’s side.

"What's wrong?"

"Rebellion! The Ars factions have fueled farmers and they have revolted against us! Furthermore, the capital is under attack from 50 soldiers and 150 farmers!"

(TL: Ars faction as in the people who still followed the previous lord of the area Ragou Ars)

"What about the 100 soldiers who were defending!! "

“We don’t know! They were suddenly wrapped in flames and blown off, I do not understand why …… “

Ferme clicks his tongue.

“We must retreat! It seems today we won’t be able to kill Rosaith’s king, it’s his lucky day”

Just as Ferme said this he stands up and straddles his horse.

It was enough if he advances at full speed from here.

The defense of the city is not so weak.

“There is an urgent message from the frontlines”

" What's up this time?"

"The 300 advance troops have been defeated! The army of King Rosaith has broken across the border!"

Dizziness attacked Ferme.

"Fucking hell!! Hurry! We need to go back!"

In a hurry the Ferme Army begins to withdraw.

______________________________________________________________

(Almis POV)

"Almis! King Ferme has begun to withdraw his troops suddenly!"

Tetra, who returned from reconnaissance, informed me.

“Well ... ... Maybe the army sent to fight with King Rosaith’s army lost and as a result Rosaith’s army broke through the border?”

But in the last battle the King of Ferme won with 500 against a 1000 of Rosaith’s troops...

How was the invasion reversed so easily?

Even if Ferme is instead invaded, there is a long distance to cover to reach the capital.

If King Ferme made a surprise attack on the capital of Rosaith, then the army of King Rosaith will not be able to come back in time, so in this case you should hurry and aim to become King of Rosaith. If it is Farme's personality then it seems he will aim for that... ...

"Did the rebellion happen?"

"Maybe it did or did not?"

"Is Volos alright then?"

" With your plan, because you gave them some black powder, I think that if they use it effectively, they will be able to win enough like us .... "

Perhaps, they would be able to even besiege the palace.

The Kingdom of Ferme is a small country with a population of 30,000.

Even with the few stones walls they have for protection, they won’t be enough to hold back the rebellion.

Their defensive facilities should be wooden.

It can be easily blown away with sufficient gunpowder.

Well, as the number of the rebelling troops is small, they might lose if the army of King Ferme returns.

"There is also the possibility that King Domorgal may attack ... ... he is in the middle of fighting King Gilberd, so I do not know if he can afford to intervene. "

Kingdom of Domorgal is more than three times the Kingdom of Rosaith. A powerful country with a huge national strength.

It would be possible to send troops to King Ferme's country to some extent.

While thinking this, a hawk comes down.

It's Lulu.

"Almis-san! Volos has already started revolting! It seems that we can occupy the capital after a while, and the army of Rosaith has also invaded the Kingdom of Ferme."

"Is that so? ... that is as I imagined. Thank you. "

And, I think do we really need to fight in such a situation?

“Leader, you don’t want to pursue them?"

"Well ... ... do we have to pursue them?"

When I said that, all eyes gathered on me.

"Either way, if king Ferme’s country perishes or not it will be a big blow to them. They would not be able to take military action for a while. We can negotiate in the dominant position if we try to repel the enemies once ... ...." (Almis is not the one speaking here but someone else)

“That's useless!"

Soyon lifted her voice. While some were moving their heads vertically in her support.

"Wouldn’t we have to take all capable hands to fight?" Ron chips in support

"Yes and your life would be in danger too ... ..." (Almis)

As soon as I started to say so, I get a severe headache.

My visibility gets wobbly and rocked.

“Ouch!” (Almis)

"Are you alright?"

Tetra rocks me anxiously.

"It's okay"

My Headache gradually calms down.

"We will do it as everyone says. Prepare for the chase. If possible we will defeat King Fermes to cut the root of the evil!! Begin preparations immediately.”

Ten people will be left behind to monitor the captured POWs.

I bound them with a rope properly and gave the prisoner guards weapons so it's okay for ten people.

Speed is important this time.

For the purpose of short-term decisive battle, we do not bring much food with us.

Instead, we will head at full speed.

“Should we wait for the reinforcements?"

"We do not have the time to wait ... I will write a letter, Soyon will deliver it to Yal through a hawk"

" I understand !"

Soyon will again have to put her soul into the hawk to carry out the task.

Actually it's not a good idea to do it over and over ... ... but it can’t be helped right now.

"Whichever way, I cannot afford to hold my hand here, King Ferme is bad news and we need to make sure he dies to avoid trouble later."

As long as he lives, we are in danger.

______________________________________________________________

By the time Yal arrived, King Rosaith was awake.

It was thanks to the Shamans who nursed him back to health.

" I'm sorry, I cannot send reinforcements." (Rosaith)

"Why is that !!" (Yal)

Yal cried out unintentionally and shouted.

"There is no need to send reinforcements now, because the army of King Ferme is already retreating."

"Is that right !?"

Yal yells loudly.

King Rosaith laughs with a grin.

“By passing through the Roman Forest, we intent to rush into the capital and lay our assault … … This is a game Ferme boy likes to play. I had already predicted Ferme’s route but only the response was delayed because I collapsed. A hawk had already been released with a message telling about the enemy’s retreat. There are three reasons for Bartolo to break through the armies of king of Ferme and be able to start our invasion. It was their over confidence in attaining victory at the Roman Forest against your village, the fact that a rebellion has just begun and King Ferme wasn’t at the front lines himself as it was dangerous for him. Anyway, this shall be the end of Ferme’s ploy.” (Rosaith)

“Now there is one less thing to worry about if I were to die one day” says king Rosaith happily

"...... I am going to return back to Almis then." (Yal)

"Can I ask this one thing from you?"

"What is it?"

"Why do you swear loyalty to that man? You possess quite the negotiating ability. Do you not want come to me? "

Yal was ready for such a question.

“It is fine, there is a great deal about Almis and he saved our lives so I intent to repay with my life as an equal”

Yal said so and exited.

King Rosaith looks interestingly at his retreating back.

______________________________________________________________

It took about a day to arrive at the Kingdom of Ferme.

"Is the capital city of Ferme Kingdom about an hour from here?" (Almis)

"Yeah"

Tetra nods.

Anyway, this village is terrible.

I can see a village spreading between my eyes.

The peoples’ eyes are dead.

There are no noises even when a group 50 armed men comes.

Do you think they are accustomed or do they think it’s useless to react? ... ...

"Can I ask you a question?"

I detain a woman who was passing nearby.

"What is it?"

"There seems to be only a woman in this village. What happened? "

The woman answers my question.

"... ... saying that King Ferme needed soldiers ... ... My father was driven out to the fight with Kingdom of Rosaith five years ago and my husband died two years ago. From my 5 sons, 3 died in a war a year ago, the other two were taken by King Ferme a few hours ago ... "

The woman breaks in tears as she replies.

"Do you came to kill King Ferme? I beg of you to please kill that king and avenge my father, husband and sons !!"

The woman said while crying and kneeling down.

Looking around, other women surrounding us were also bowing their heads down.

"... I know ... do not worry, I will kill him."

When I answered, the women started watching us with eyes one might look at with to a hero or something.

Huh, the reason to kill King Ferme has increased.

"I want to ask something from you then.”

Tetra speaks while looking around at the women.

"Do you regret that you killed the former lord, Ragou Ars?"

The women respond to the question.

"The former lord was a messiah......"

"The former Lord didn’t had these much taxes ... ...."

"There was no war at the time of the former lord! "

"We were deceived by that Ferme!!”

"Almis, human beings like this … … … hypocrites"

"... but still I will save them "

Tetra seemed dissatisfied, but still embraced me a bit gladly.

Ten minutes of walking and a group of soldiers was spotted far away.

Is that the army of King Ferme?

Have they finally caught up?

"All men, prepare to figh.."

"Wait!"

Tetra caught me by my hand.

And Tetra narrows her eyes and looks at their flag.

"That is the flag of the army of Rosaith's king"

"That was close, this could had become something serious"

The hypothesis reached by me and Tetra was that the army of Rosaith broke through the army of King Ferme and had begun their own invasion .

"Well then I'll be going Nii-san." Roswald said so while kicking the horse's belly and running to the Rosaith‘s army.

I wish if the general knew about us.

If they did not know, the explanation would be long.

A few minutes later, Roswald came back.

"Did you come because you want to do a joint attack with this commander Bartolo"

Bartolo? ...... Ah, that person?

It reminds me.

That druken guy we met before.

"Hey, Almus .... I wonder if it is? ... this is funny. When we broke through the enemies two days ago we came here in a hurry .... Why did you who started advancing only yesterday made it on time with us? " (Bartolo)

" Our feets are quick " (Almis)

This is the cheat of my divine blessing!

There is no need to worry.

"Oh, yes ... ... Well, it was a good thing that we could join together ... By the way, is the rebellion that is happening now is it because of you?"

"We only gave them a little gift ...... of weapons and a leader to fight for" (Almis)

" Ne ... ... " (Bartolo)

Bartolo stares at the tetra next to me.

"You should act with the rebel army" (Bartolo)

"Because it's dangerous, I will forgive you"

I do not know if it will succeed.

The most important thing for me now is tetra and my own men.

It is because it is convenient to defeat King Ferme who tried to hurt my people that we fueled this revolt.

If Tetra is handed over to the Rebel Army, it will overturn the situation.

"By the way, you probably will become a clan if you win this war, maybe you would probably be responsible for most of the place where King Ferme ruled over."

"Is that so? Rosaith kingdom is a coalition government of different powerful class, wont the other clans complain? "

" Where the hell are they right now on this battle field? Right now the army that I am leading is King Rosaith’s own forces and my soldiers. Furthermore, including the rebel army, if you regard yourself as the same power, it is about 250. We are four hundred and you have also made a great achievement, in addition to which you also have legitimacy.” (Bartolo)

I also have some greed. I would like to get things I do not have.

But I have never done territorial business.

"A good powerful clan leader... ... and then we shall be your aides! Hey, leader. I want a land with a lake." (Ron/Roswold don’t know which one said this)

"How do you know the rebels will succeed? Say these kind of things after the war is over, you are raising a death flag otherwise "

"Seriously? I'm getting a child born"

Bartolo also joined in while pointing his finger towards his face.

Those guys, they all are raising a bunch of death flags here.

(TL: Plot twist, all those who raised a death flag here actually die and this all isn’t just some gag)

"Once the war is over I’ll marry Almus" (Tetra)

(TL: HELL YEAH THE BEST GRILL WILL FINALLY MARRY ALMUS)

"Hey, do not say such things right now!"

I will die at this rate from my own death flag.

Almus holds his forehead as he once again has some headaches.
