The Kingdom Strikes Back (Part 2)

“Listen!!! The King himself has come to fight on your behalf!”

 

Doーーーーーnn!

 

The hall was quiet for a moment, but then there was a Hisohiso to….Zawazawa sound…..

 

And then…...Uuoooh!

 

…………。

 

……。

 

“Uu, Uuoooooooooooーーーーーーー!!!”

 

“Uuooooooooooo!!!”

 

“Uuooooooooooo!!!”

 

In no time at all, the hall was filled with cheering voices.

It was the King. He has arrived. 

 

The King’s personal conquests!

 

Nothing was more morale-boosting than this.

 

The Kingsguard, which had been mangled for no apparent reason.

 

And the subjects of the royal castle, who were in danger.

 

He or she all rose to their feet and came to life.

 

──The king!

 

──The king has come!

 

He had come to fight that demon army. The king, the heir of the hero, said that he himself would fight.

 

“Your Majesty!”

 

“Your Majesty!”

 

“Your Majesty!　Your Majesty!　Your Majesty!”

 

“For the Kingdom ────Banzai!!!”

 

“「「「BAAAANZAAIIII!!!」」」”

 

The soldiers, whose faces had been clouded with grief just a moment ago, burst into laughter.

 

The maidservants, doctors and ministers also burst into laughter.

 

“If the king comes, we can win!”

 

“We can win if the Heir of the Hero comes!”

 

“We can win because the best man in the land has come!”

 

“The country will be saved──”

 

Something was different about his trousers from what they saw this morning but they knew now, they could win.

 

The king looked over the faces of his subjects with satisfaction.

 

He nodded his head in a hawkish manner.

 

“All right! In the meantime, the Kingsguard Corps is to be reorganised! First, the slightly wounded must return to the corps immediately. And the seriously wounded are just in the way. Leave the castle now and move to the barracks at the back.”

 

“Ehh?”

 

“Heee?”

 

“Do not assist those seriously injured. Leave them be. They can take care of themselves! Don’t let yourself defile this castle!”

 

“Haa?”

 

“Other problems shall be ignored!! Maids are to stand back with spears, bows and arrows and replacement swords as auxiliaries! Go and collect those scattered equipment quickly, now!”

 

“Haa? Se–seriously…”

 

“Minister, cook, horse boy, knight apprentice,……what are you doing!　All of you, quickly pick up your swords!”

 

“Hi,hiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!”

 

The king suddenly changed into a dictator and issued a flurry of outrageous orders. The ministers who were supposed to check the residents were also asked to become soldiers.

 

In fact, the minister who tried to argue with the king took a spectacular uppercut from him, biting his tongue and jerking.

 

The commander of the Kingsguard, who had other opinions, was also pushing his wounded body and regrouping the survivors of the Kingsguard who were about to flee and those who were slightly wounded.

 

But it was not a mistake.

 

As the commander said , there were certainly not enough troops to fight back.

 

Fortunately, soldiers who were late for the call-up were still arriving sporadically from the city, so it was likely that the regulars alone would be able to gather enough to make a decent appearance.

 

“Give it all you’ve got!　This is not the time to be sparing!”

 

There could be no regrets.

 

In the military, the basic idea was that you always wanted to leave ──── reserve forces for future and follow-up operations.

 

In the so-called textbook way of thinking, keeping reserve forces was fundamental to the military.

 

Therefore, an average commander would spare no troops.

 

But from the point of view of the king, who was now about to command the troops, that was just a poor strategy.

 

Even though the royal capital was far from the front line, the capital was currently under attack by an unknown enemy group.

 

If they spared no troops and lost to these people – in the worst case scenario, the kingdom would collapse.

“Oi, get me some heavy cavalry! And the cavalry chariot.”

 

He gave instructions when he caught one of the ministers with a spear, which he was not accustomed to carrying.

 

The soldiers had already begun to move, and the seriously wounded were reluctantly crawling out of the royal castle.

 

The assembled soldiers then raided the armoury of the castle and equipped themselves with all the luxurious and magical equipment they could spare.

 

These troops were about to be dispersed, but they were gradually assembling and increasing their strength.

 

They would eventually end up not inside the Royal Castle, but on the curving ramparts.

 

There was no other way to collect soldiers.

 

The Royal Castle was not a defensive base. It was a political stronghold, the home of the king.

 

Although they had no choice but to fight, they didn’t want to be involved in the destruction if at all possible. That was why they were striking out.

 

It could not be used for defence or turned into a field hospital.

 

In any case, as the castle stood on level ground, its defences were weak.

 

At best, it could only rely on a wide moat and high walls, but that was not enough.

 

“I want a platoon of men to escort me!　And the enemy has a huge army! We’ll counter them with a full assault using our defensive weapons! Empty the armoury”

 

“Y–yes!!”

 

The king didn’t know who answered, but he saw some of the ministers ran towards the armoury.

 

One of them was fine, but he guessed they intended to stay away from the front line, as if this was a good thing.

 

‘Idiots! I’ll purge you all later.’

 

Still, if the troops were moving and ready to defend, it was good enough.

 

The Commander of the Kingsguard had finally regained his energy, and now he was sorting out the riders of the heavy cavalry and mounted chariots.

 

Cavalry required skill. Not just anyone could ride.

 

It would be better if there were 100 heavily-armed cavalrymen ready. If they could prepare 50-100 cavalry chariots that was. 

 

There were other aerial mobile forces, but they were being prepared at the moment.

 

The counter force could not be moved due to…. circumstances.

 

In any case, they too would be deployed at a moment’s notice.

 

“Damn itt!　Hero Koji! What are you doing? Come faster! Work for a change!”

 

All the current mismanagement and the series of disturbances were entirely attributed to Koji.

 

“That parasite…..! Stop suckling with your bitch wife and get your arse over here! Protect meeeeee!!!!”
