Humans are able to commit terrible atrocities.The many histories of warfare make this all the more obvious.
How many died in the war?
What happened to the post-war economy?
What about the post-war generation?
Will a moral continue to stand in a post-war country?
Humans will not care much about it, they will continue to do what they think is right. It was at the end of a new war that they realized that all they saw was death everywhere. But sometimes you would think that it's a positive thing if war is terrible, so other sane humans would not be interested in war.
Maybe I myself look hypocritical if you think about it but sometimes you will be faced with a situation where the peaceful option will also be bad as the impact of the war itself. If we don't stop the war, it will end us.
I am not a saint and a hero to many without reward, which is why I must survive in this world for which I do not know why I am called in this world.
Trying to be always vigilant I was now on top of the wall of Carran City which was unfortunately still made of wood, even so this was a little more than enough to fight bandits.
Earlier I sent a Detachment (small squad) of mounted archers to at least hinder the enemy while we were strengthening the city's defenses. However it has been 4 days since I sent them out of Carran City, whether this is a sign of good or bad if they have not appeared from yesterday. Carran City with Moose Village itself is only a few kilometers away and if you walk with 3,000 troops you might not need a day to get to Carran City, so if they're late this might just be a good sign.
"Miss Luzia, you want an apple?"
"Ah, Grandpa Wiz thank you."
"Of course, Miss Luzia."
While I was watching the situation outside, Grandpa Wiz suddenly offered me some apples. Well, since my busy eating schedule was reduced even Erliz and Clotte who knew it instantly made me sit still and listen to their moods for a few hours, so receiving an apple from her might not be a bad idea.
I met Grandpa Wiz while organizing the defense forces of Carran City, he although he looked old willingly volunteered to fight. I knew about his wife's death.
Grandpa Wiz's own appearance, crumpled with dark blue eyes, many wrinkles had already adorned his face. He has gray hair whose condition looks very unkempt, his body position has also been seen slightly bent. Not to forget in his hand holding a composite bow that has become a hallmark of the tribe.
"Miss Luzia please don't look at me like that, if you see me like that even my wife who is in Valhala will laugh at me, hahaha."
"Ah, I'm sorry."
"I may have looked old and weak but don't underestimate me, when I was young I once defeated three adult wolves with just my bow, so the bandits who had killed my wife were no match for me!" Grandpa Wiz really looks excited to avenge his wife.
"I believe in that, Grandpa Wiz."
"Miss Luzia, look at that." Grandpa Wiz yelled at me by pointing his index finger at something.
From a distance a group of archers rode towards the gate of Carran City in a hurry, if you look more closely, their number seems to be slightly reduced than before and although I myself have expected there will be casualties among them. Even so, on their faces, they do not show that they will bring bad news.
While I myself without thinking anything else also directly down from the wall and immediately ran towards the gate of Carran City where I myself became a spectacle material around me. Finally when I reached the City Gate the horsemen reached it first, as if lightning had struck them into the city whose carriages had been opened by the regular army of Carran City.
Among the horsemen was also seen a person with a thick dark beard growing in the area of his face and leaving an impression of a strong warrior like gladiator in Ancient Rome, he was Dayan as well as someone who was in charge of leading the horse archer Detachment.
Dayan himself was also one of the few people who returned home to this region from the 7-year war against the Kharza Empire, so therefore he can also be called a veteran because the best teacher is experience, even though behind it his nature is really not friendly to me.
"Servant, so how's the situation?" without rambling I immediately asked Dayan.
"You're really an impatient person. As you can see, many of us can come back here although of course there were 17 fatalities and the tactics you suggested mostly went well. Behind your young age, is this the power of your noble blood, huh?"
"Well.." I really couldn't respond after hearing his sarcasm at the end of his statement.
"All right."
Feeling that it was enough with the short report I immediately ordered his 50 troops to rest first for the next stage of the plan, as for the rest I gave the order to install a position in the north to help the knights defend the dam.
A few days I've been getting information from Major Carran city if the previous population data is not accurate because it was made at the end of the war and actually the population in this region is a little bit more than the data that seemed like many of the population of this region were innumerable. Even so, it does not erase the fact that many of these populations have died due to the war and the number of our personnel is still quite outnumbered by the enemy.
The total number of my troops is the Knights 150 personnel, the Regular Army of Carran City 200 personnel, the combined forces of 350 Tribes (50 mounted archers). So the total is 700 personnel, at least we have a wall that can cover the shortage of our personnel.
After a while of waiting it was finally seen from a distance a troop of course more than us marched closer to Carran City, even though they have a number that surpasses ours seem a negative aura affecting them as if their morals are already on the verge of collapse. Looks like Dayan really did his job well.
It also appears that they are setting up a camp outside the city of Carran which will eventually become a sign that the battle will not start today, but tomorrow after they rest.
At first I didn't really expect the enemy to be lured away by something that was clearly visible it was a trap, even I had a backup plan that seemed like it would be useless because until now everything was going smoothly. It seems the enemy has a leader who is really incompetent, having an incompetent leader is more terrible than having a strong enemy.
"Miss Luzia, guess who I am!" suddenly a female voice came from the back of my head and my eyes were closed by both hands.
"Lilyana, I told you this isn't the time for fun." Of course I can guess if it's Lilyana.
"Don't Miss Luzia really like playing like this, you really turned into an unpleasant person."
"I wouldn't be a pleasant person if there were bandits in my territory who could have sold myself into slavery."
"Yes yes, I understand." despite being so visible from her face if Lilyana doesn't understand don't even care.
"By the way, what are you here for? aren't you supposed to be with your unit?"
"I'm here on Sir Erwin's orders if the wooden fence you proposed is neatly arranged to protect the river dam"
"Is that so? it's good that" I'm really grateful when I hear Lilyana's report.
A few days earlier after the meeting I ordered the wood craftsmen from the talented Moose Village to create a thick wooden fence to protect the dam north of the city from enemy attack.
The main advantage of wooden fences themselves is that they can be made easily in conditions that are quite precarious and sudden as we experience today, especially in the southern part of the city of Carran there are quite dense trees.
The shape of the fence is basically also like an ordinary fence but with an extraordinary thickness with a gap with the aim of positioning the reliable archers of the tribe members. This method is almost the same as in the sengoku period but in the gap is usually Tanegashima troops. This reminds me a little of the battle of Nagashino, fufufu.
"Ah wait! what are you doing Lilyana?!" I don't know why Lilyana suddenly tickled me.
"You suddenly put on a creepy smile, I don't know what's on your mind but I'll punish you."
"Ah tungg-hahaha! help me!"
No matter that tomorrow will be a decisive battle that we ourselves do not know the outcome in the future, yet Lilyana still tried to console me.

FYI shape Sengoku period wooden fence:
FYI troops with Tanegashima weapons:
Sengoku, or in the Indonesian language, is a warring state, it is so called because in a period of more than a hundred years there was a war between brothers throughout Japan in the fight for power triggered by social and political upheaval.
