Although ancestors of this body has fought valiantly, that doesn't mean I'll be able to that. ohh !! That reminds me,
"How many soldiers does my state/city have and how many properties do I have under my name? How much power do I have... Tell me about it." Looking at the steak in front of him, Chris has no appetite now, so he quickly Enter the state of work.
His three men were quite capable, and quickly let Chris know all the belongings in his hands.
As a lord, Alan Hill Chris has a strong cavalry force of 300 men, and an organization of about 1,000 city guards.
The city of Kovir is an independent state located in a Alps Basin. The main features of a basin were being surrounded by high ground, and low in the middle, as the name basin implied. It was one of the five basic terrain zones, extremely common in reality. These kind of basin terrains were a boon for Lord because it was easy to defend and the edges were rich in mineral resources. The biggest forces can be basically built in this kind of terrain.
The Alps Basin covered an area of 199,731 square kilometers, as large as the entire province of South Dakota in USA. The west side of the Basin was the Kovir/Temeria border and was a rolling, stony mountain range that was impassable.
To the north was a gateway city, called Bolan Pass. Passing through, you entered the hinterlands of Alps.
To the east was the dividing line between Alps and Tuten Dynasty, with mountains and misty jungles. North and south of there was also a pass and then going further south one can reach the North Bay of the South Alen Sea. The monsoon blew in from the sea through this canyon, bringing rain and new life into the Alps Basin.
In the center of the canyon was naturally a river of the same width, forking five hundred meters in front of the canyon into two tributaries. It was more accurate to say that two rivers came together to form one river here.
The west river was called the Friendship River, and the east was called the Swimming River. The Friendship River was slightly wider at thirty-seven meters, while the Swimming River narrowed to about thirty-two meters. The source of the lakes should naturally be runoff from the east and west mountains, collecting the rainwater and sending it down to them.
No matter from which point of view, Kovir City was a good place before the war was waged. It's a pity that now, Chris has just arrived, and the good days are over.
"So basically we are in Do or die situation. So their army is approaching towards the Bolan pass" Chris thought for a moment, and asked retainers.
Retainers smiled bitterly and replied, "Yes My lord, the Batco Empire army will be at Bolan pass in two days. This is the latest news from our spies at the border."
"From the looks of it we need to fight a war with guerrilla warfare, only then one can say we have some chances. What about the enemy numbers and any information on the general leading the enemy army ?"Asked Chris.
General Wargon who has been silent for some time replied,"Batco empire's South conquering Army is heading towards us with 50000 troops and rest 50000 will be heading towards Temeria State. My lord, we need to set up a blockade at the river front to stop enemy from crossing the river.
"No, we will set up a blockade at bolan pass and try to minimize their number as we can. So later on it will be ease our burden during defense fight." said Chris.
I have seen lots of warfare dramas in my previous life, so this type of situation can be handled this way pretty much. Still Number difference is too much 50000 vs 1300. Chris lost his conscious self and transferred to a white colored room having a Screen in the middle while thinking about the war problem.
[ Host Identified....]
[ Test mission cleared.....]
[Technology Tree found....Phase 1 complete...]
[ World Progressive System Installation...Phase 2.....25% ]
[ World Progressive System Installation...Phase 2.....100% ]
[ System Initiation ]
"What is this ? I thought technology tree is my Golden finger but its actually a system. No need to get excited, System in another world is pretty common. Only its objective is important. "Chris was thinking after hearing AI voice in his mind.
"So, System what can you do?''
[ World Progressive System has been given to Host in order to jump start the progress of mankind which is stopped due to constant war and bloodshed.]
"Ok. What do I need to do?"
[ Host will need to help these people to march towards better working and living conditions.]
[ This can be done by two ways,
1. By doing mission
2. by Doing Independently.
system will consider the impact of independent campaign done by Host to give further Rewards.]
"I got it. What about my Welcome gift."
[ Host has received Starters Gift.
1. Upcoming War cease fire tip and relaxation period
2. 100000 points
3. Lifetime support. ]
"You must be kidding right, lifetime support. That's your job to provide support why does it have to be included in the starters package."
[ Nothing can be done about that Host, Its a standard procedure. You should be happy that I have given you a hint about how this war will end and also told you how much time you have before the next phase of this war. You should be thankful. ]
"I know. Thank you."
Then Chris moved and clicked on the package shown on the screen. The screen was showing points available 100000 and tip about how the war will end.
[ Due to aggressiveness of Batco Empire towards independent states, Tuten Dynasty will be in trouble in future if Batco empire conquers the states. So There will be a conflict of interest in between two empires resulting in a large scale war. It will give Host relaxation period of 3 years in total before the campaign starts again by Batco Empire. ]
'' System, you are telling me that I don't need to do anything and the war will stop automatically by itself. That's the relief. I should thank you for this precious info.''
[ Host needs to know when we have bound together, we are in the same boat from the moment on. host can trust on this.]
" Got it. one thing how do I get out of this space ?"
[ Just think of exiting ]
Chris thought about exiting just as system told him and he was in his previous place thinking. Nothing has changed but he got a useful information.
Now what should I do to tell these people regarding war situation. ummm....this will be the right choice to handle things.
" Gentleman there is something bothering me care to explain this matter."said Chris to Retainers.
" Of course my lord. Please ask away." Replied Jones.
" How's the relation between Tuten dynasty and Batco Empire ?"
"My lord, Relationship Between both empires is not very good. Basically they are hostile towards each other but since last two years there has no interaction between them."
" That clears my doubt. Since nobody meddled in each other's business. This situation gave encouragement to Batco Empire to Declare war on States. But this will directly impact balance of power on continent if Batco empire conquers the states. So my conclusion is Tuten dynasty will create problems for Batco empire and this will result in large scale war between them, giving us time to breath and prepare for the worse."
"My lord, what you have said makes sense but we can be relaxed only due to this assumption. we still need to prepare for worse case scenario."
"I know. General wargon set out towards Bolan pass with cavalry and keep eye on enemy lines. If you find any signs of them retreating then return. If not then hold the ground until main force arrives. Do note that during fight do not engage enemy in frontal assault. Retreating can be option."
"Yes my lord. I'll do my best"
"Thank you for your loyalty and bravery in service of Kovir, General Wargon. Get Going."
After Receiving Orders General left the room leaving Jones, Tim and Chris behind towards barracks.
"Jones and Tim, make Preparations for main force to leave city on tomorrow morning.
"Yes my lord." Both replied and left the room.
wahh !! This is quite thrilling. I have never expected that after getting into this world life will be this interesting. Then what should I do with system and about this state,
1. I can create a country out of it.
2. How building a Business empire ?
3. Then I can create stock market
4. set up a Entertainment industry, my own PoP group.
This will be a quite a fun than I was expecting previously. Hope it will turn out for good only.
