Chapter 3 - Preparation (2)

After this the entire city was full of moral , meanwhile Carl and ash were talking about the preparation in the breakfast table

" Sir Carl , how many ammunition does our soldiers have ? "

" Your majesty, we have 200 bullets per soldier means we can easily last a war but further we have to use ammunition factory"

I asked about it as it was not present in the game

" What is ammunition factory and how can I obtain it ? "

" Your majesty, a normal workshop make 50 ammunition boxes everyday and each one of them contains 50 bullets , and lv 2 , lv 3 each differ by 50 boxes , then by upgrading it we can make a factory "

I asked about how soon can we establish them and his reply came

" Your majesty we can't, we have already used all resources, food from system will be over in 2 months and there is no money "

Yes I used all pregiven resources and now I am broke but he broke the silence by saying

" Your majesty, you could recruit a hero "

Yep , there was hero unit but it was pregiven unit and fixed for every one

I went to heroes option and there a gacha awaited me

I was surprised as it was not present in the game but then I pressed the button .

And animation started and from there came a card in my inventory and I opened it

( Name = johan maes )

( Role = trench and bunker builder )

I stared at his name and couldn't help but curse at my luck because even normal soldier could build trenches so what is his role huh , and infact they are already building it

I turned to Carl for advice

" Carl I got a trench builder unit so what should I do ? "

He looked towards me and then answered after a moment

" Sir we could use johan ability to improve our already built trenches and as for his unit they can work as resource collector"

I patted his shoulder and said

" My man , huh you really are a genius ! , stole the idea just out of my mouth "

He looked at me with deadpan expression

Then I summoned johan , he came with 500 workers with him and was dressed in a light grey uniform

He kneeled and said

" Johan reporting to his majesty"

I exchange some words with him and then Carl talked to him about his job and he occasionally looked towards me during this

After that johan went separately to first line and his unit went with shovels , pickaxe and sickels towards the forest with a few guards with them for safety

Though out the streets people witnessed the unit moving with no armor , helmet and just random tool

This scene made people moved to tears , they even spread the words that many people went to fight for their lands with just shovels and pickaxe

It unknowingly increased the morale of the citizens but not of the unit as they were depressed because these professional trench and bunker builder unit will be used as labour and random small works

They were questioning their life choices

Two days later

In just two days whole army was settled and troops arrived in the villages and town too

At first people thought of them as a invading army but after seeing their uniform and speech , ration they all changed their mind

After two decades the territory felt safe again

Now they have same number of soldier they had in their prime

Meanwhile in the deep forest , a tall muscular man carrying a giant sword on his back was moving forward

His name was Red , he was just a poor mercenary but after meeting leon on a adventure his world changed

He got strength and in return he gave loyalty to leon

Now he was going to take this new territory for his lord while he graduated and then return it , he bought 10000 lord personal unit and 500 royal guards

There were two 2nd grade knight and him a 3rd grade knight

Honestly he felt pity for Ravenfield family because he admired them , initially he even admired ash but after he insulted his lord he knew that ash had to die

His lord was keen on taking Ravenfield territory so much that he asked emperor this territory as his reward , I felt it going overboard but later he told that he will do it to preserve Ravenfield legacy and not let it be destroyed by ash hand

After that my lord gave me this opportunity and i came here , I gave command at the crossroads to move all royal guards to secure the villages and towns

As far as he knew all military strength of the revenfield territory have been extinguished in the previous goblin invasion so capturing it will not be a problem

He calculated that he will arrive near the city in just 2 hour

As he was approaching the city , all of Ravenfield troops were preparing trenches and doing various drills

Soon a soldier came and reported to his superiors that a huge force is heading towards the SKYWIND CITY and will reach in 2 hours

It was unexpected because it was estimated that enemy will arrive in a week not a day

It was evening and with the setting sun tensions were rising

There were only 2000 soldiers on this front and 500 cavalrymen and even reinforcement might take a 3 hours , so they knew they have to face a superior superhuman army in 2 hour

Soldier were all panicked internally, meanwhile messanger took his horse and ran towards the palace

In half an hour news was spread across the territory about the invasion , Carl and ash assigned 800 additional troops and it is estimated that in a hour they will march

While Ravenfield soldiers were preparing, red 's forces began to move forward faster as they wanted to enjoy tonight at the duke mansion and they arrived a hour early

They saw the bright palace visible like a candle flame in the dark , they were awestruck because it's majesty matches the royal castle itself

Red clicked his tongue and said

" Instead of improving people lives and hiring army or mercenary, this brat is trying to spend all his money on this , he deserve to die because he is ruining the legacy of Ravenfield "

leon army was solely composed of ex mercenary , so to them it worked as a morale, a chance to sleep and enjoy this luxurious palace

They marched faster and Red saw the front , the trenches which were glowing because of presence of all lamps in there
