 The battle between the Orient Purge and the Perian army ended in our victory.

 We overran the main camp of the Peria army, which had completely lost its momentum after defeating its opponent, the knight Cecil of Thunderbolt, and used a magical communication device to communicate the results to the various fronts to boost morale.

 Then, we attacked other Perian units that did not yet know what had happened at the main camp, and we ended up with a great victory.

 We are happy for them.

 It should have been, but for some reason it was not.

 Because we soon received information that other countries were going to attack the Orient again.

 Apparently, the Orient, which handles such a high quality item as magical tools, is seen as quite attractive.

 Three times I was attacked by the surrounding countries, and I had to respond to all of them by commanding the Orient army.

 The size of the army was much larger than the skirmishes along the borders, and it numbered about 5,000 men.

 The number of Orientals who had to deal with these attacks decreased each time.

 Even though we had won the battle, the number of wounded soldiers was not zero.

 Every time we fight, our men are worn out.

 And even though we won the war, we had to be on the lookout for other places.

 Even if we had won a victory against the armies of the Bulgarian and Perian kingdoms, our forces had not reached their home countries because they were attacked by other countries soon afterwards.

 They would probably regroup after some time.

 Considering this, we needed to have a certain number of troops against them.

 Therefore, when we were invaded for the fifth time by the Bulgarians, our intercepting force was limited to about 1,000 to 1,500 men.

 We were so pressed that we had to take a cue from the Purge and mobilize female soldiers.

 This was a desperate measure, as female soldiers were mainly entrusted with transportation and medic duties, while male troops were left to fight on the front lines.

 With such small numbers, it was a bit difficult to cope even if there were individual forces.

 So, what we did was to implement wall defense tactics here and there.

 Using the magic of "wall-building", we secured defensive positions, and then we pressured our opponents while holding the advantageous strategic points.

 This way of fighting was easy to do because as long as we could build walls, we could at least fight in numbers.

 If those who remained to defend each area would send magic stones filled with magic power, the small number of soldiers could be disguised.

 But more than that, I used it a lot because it is more interesting to use your brains than you think.

 The land of the Orient, centered on the city-state of Orient and including the villages within its sphere of influence.

 The city-state of Orient is the center of the game, with the villages within its sphere of influence, and the city-state of Orient takes a defensive posture against the armies of countries that attack it from here and there.

 If you can push them back, that's all that matters.

 If there is a man of superior individual strength, such as Cecil of the army of Peria, you may challenge him to a duel in what you call a short term settlement.

 They fought in such a way, and somehow managed to win the battle.

 As a result, what is left is a lot of walls spreading around the periphery of the land of Orient.

 Those walls, of course, serve as defensive walls when other countries invade.

 Everywhere is important because they built their walls and positions in the most important and easy-to-defend places first.

 Seeing this, Ai, the chairman of the Orient, said to me.

 What about the aftermath?

 Indeed, it was a big problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Even though there were only walls, we would be in trouble if any of them were occupied by forces that had nothing to do with the Orient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Therefore, it would be necessary to have a certain amount of guardians to watch over those walls.

 Who will do it, of course, are the Orient soldiers.

 Soldiers will be deployed to protect the walls built around the country.

 Thanks to the existence of magical communication devices, they will be able to keep in touch with each other.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 However, the magic communicator is a very important magical tool, and is not for sale at the moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Therefore, I have installed a device that I have made before, which cannot make calls, but only emits a simple shaped signal using magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 The device and the soldiers who operate it, as well as the defenders, are provided at the various defense walls.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 That's why they were needed.

 Even the limited number of soldiers of the Orient army was allocated to these defenses.

 The Orient no longer had enough men to attack other countries by themselves.

 Not only that.

 It is necessary to constantly feed the soldiers used to defend the walls.

 Naturally, this would cost money as well.

 I was careless.

 I only thought that wall defense tactics was an interesting and profound way to fight.

 By its nature, a wall is built on the battlefield after the battle, and it cannot be left unattended.

 It was only later that I realized that it was an unexpectedly laborious battle to clean up afterwards.
