During the course I've noticed that the Lands were extremely fertile, the water was abundant and there was no lack of space.
He told me more about how severe the lack of food that the population was suffering. It was because most of the food was used for the soldiers to fight the goblins the soldiers represent more than 25% of the population. We give the resources to the military, and the rest went to the nobility.
He also told me about the relationships I had. But it was mostly with the general Dener Losinski. My father and mother died, and I was the only son of the family. And others than all the women I was spending time, I had no real friend, which is good because if I chase the women away, only the general Dener would be able to notice any change in my personality.
We were close to the capital, and I had to ask him a question before we would be with the rest.
"What about magic? Is there is any magic In this world, Tole ?"
"Magic? The elves, the dragons, the spirits, and a lot of species can do magic. There are also tools that can do magic like the blue seeds that give the world's information about everything around us. A magic item is scarce, but among them, blue seeds are one of the most common ones. Our country has two of them, But that is sadly the only magic items we have."
The capital is surrounded by walls, and the wall wasn't that big. It was mostly military building, Inn, stores, and forges. A way larger and a better-maintained house was in the center was the seigneurial domain. It wasn't as big as the castle were in the past but it was probably because our country was little and poor.
Tole and I joined the seigneurial domain, The people in that place were a lot more coated, had beautiful, clean clothes and imposed a certain standard of outer respect.
Three nobles, two women, and one man reached me and said politely.
" Glad to see you, my Lord. It has been a long time since you came here. "
I was stressed to see them coming at me as he knew me, I hope I don't have to say their names.
"I'd like to introduce two of my friends, This is Anna Circonvsky, and this is Laura Delores."
"Hii. " Said the two girls with cheerful voices.
Damn it! I only have 2 out of 3 names.
"Excuse me, But who is this boy? "
Says the Man by showing Tole with his hand.
"He is Tole, a commoner that I took to have a better understanding of the living conditions of my people."
"Nice to meet you, Denis Losinski. Son of the general Dener Losinski." Said Tole.
Thank you, Tole!
"You have some information, Tole. Charles, I'm leaving you. I have to see my dad. If you want to contact him, I can address him a message for you. Otherwise, you can see him. He'll be near the border tomorrow morning."
Tole was proud.
" Thanks. You can tell him I'll see your dad tomorrow. Denis. "
"Now that Denis is gone. Would you like to come to one of our rooms?" whispered Anna with an erotic voice.
" No, I'm gonna go wash up and get some sleep. I'll get up early tomorrow to see General Dener."
"How unfun. " Says Laura.
"When you're less interested in taking care of these peasants. You can always come to see us. My lord " Says Laura.
After we found a room for Tole, I went back to my room. I was asking me a lot of questions.
We were always in a society where the nobility discriminated the majority of the population. Maybe since I'm Lord, I could change that.
In any case, I needed to know more about the world and kingdom in which I was. And for that, there will be no better person than General Dener.
*************************************************************************
It was a very bright day. Because I couldn't ride a horse, I walked to the border.
The walls that bounded the kingdom were not very large. And at the entrance of the road stood a door guarded by two soldiers.
As I approached the door, I said.
"Let me pass !"
"Yes! your majesty " answered the two guards spontaneously
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
The moment the doors opened, I could see men and goblins fighting head-on.
An old bald man, slightly removed from the battlefields giving orders. It was general Dener.
" SOLDIERS!! FIGHT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT!! FOR TYRN'S HONOR!!! WILL ONCE AGAIN BRING US VICTORY IN OUR COUNTRY"
While watching the battle, I could see warriors showing bravery to face there dead so close to them. On this battle, out of the 1000 soldiers present approximately 80 died.
It may seem like a small number, but seeing it with our own eyes. That still leaves 80 people dead. And 8% chance for every soldier to die. Could you fight knowing there's a chance of death? Them could give their lives for the kingdom.
But something tormented me... Why do soldiers fight head-on with goblins? Why don't they set traps? Why are they fighting in such chaos? An organized approach should work much better. I wanted to ask the general.
As I approached general Dener, he saw me.
" Oh, Your Majesty! I'm glad. You could see the military prowess of our soldiers."
" It was a good fight from the soldiers ... But Hmmm... What were the strategic plans for the battle? "
" Strategic plans ? " says the general showing a certain incomprehension.
" You know, using the battle, using the field to our advantage. Formation, deployments, and stratagems. A simple idea would be putting holes for the goblins to fall in."
" My lord, it is the first time I hear about that. But my battle experience has always shown that the strongest and bravest always wins. We never lost a battle due to strategy... Only because the monster was stronger than our army! "
Is he stupid? Of course, a monster won't use strategy, especially if he's stronger than you naturally.
It was at that moment that I realized that my people's military knowledge was only individual and dedicated to strength.
But as we were talking. About 250 others goblins and one hobgoblin could see.
"Damn it! This is the second attack today, it must have been a year since we've had two consecutive attacks. We really have no luck today! "
"Excuse me. Dener, but I will take command of the army right now."
Before I even gave him time to answer, I shouted, "EVERYONE, WE RETREAT TO OUR WALLS."
Once the army was behind the walls, I asked an archer.
"Could you shoot an arrow with all your strength in the direction of the goblins?"
"Sir, I know I'm a good archer, but even if I shoot an arrow with all my strength it would never reach them, they are too far. "
" I know that! Just shoot! "
The archer fired an arrow that traveled 150 meters.
" I told you it wouldn't touch a goblin. "
" It was planned, I want all the archer to be ready to fire, and at my command, You all have to shoot your arrows with all your strengths, OK? "
When the goblins approached the arrow, I waited for another five meters, and I shouted.
"FIRE !! "
Almost all the arrows did hit goblins. Around 50 of them died. And more were injured.
" Prepare to fire the second shot!"
"FIRE! "
The second time only half of the arrows touched goblins. But it killed 50 of them because some of them were already injured.
"Now it's time for the swordsmen to shine! Rise above the walls! Archer, as long as you don't shoot an ally. I give you the go-ahead. "
It was unfortunate the walls were only made of wood, the goblins will easily be able to pierce through the wall. Besides, this world's goblins were pretty good at climbing walls.
The little goblins had already reached the walls.
" Swordsmen! Kill Every Gobelins that goes through your sword's range. "
The fight was going very well without any deaths so far. But it didn't last long.
The hobgoblin reached the walls and with his arm destroyed the wall. Three soldiers on the wall fell and probably died.
"I WANT ALL THE SWORDSMEN CLOSE TO THE HOBGOBLIN TO JUMP ON HIM! TRY TO AIM FOR THE EYES! "
The first soldiers who jumped on the hobgoblin were killed. But very quickly the hobgoblin was overtaken, and he ended up dying quite quickly.
The last remaining goblins from the battle have begun to run away.
21mens were dead on this battlefield. It could improve if we if we had prepared holes, Larger and more opposing walls, and fire to ignite the arrows. But it was way better than the way our general was fighting...
The soldiers couldn't believe the outcome of the battle. They thought it would be a fierce battle where there'd be a lot of death. But it was one of the easiest battles they've ever had.
" Praise our Lord !!! "
" This way of fighting, strategy, he calls, is surely coming from the Heavens itself! "
" Thanks, Lord! Because of you, I can live one more day. "
" Our Lord is a military genius! "
The general Dener still couldn't believe his own eyes.
They make it like it was awesome but ... It was pretty natural! They're the ones who have no military skills!
At that moment a soldier interrupted my thoughts.
" Lord !! It's a good new !! We found a blue seed on the Hobgoblin !!" says a young soldier with a happy face.
He raised his right hand, and you could see a fluorescent blue light coming out of the seed in his hand.
" THE THIRD SEED OF OUR KINGDOM !!! " he says with a victorious tone.
" OUAAAHHHH " you could hear the sound of a crowd and the joy of the soldiers.
After the crowd calmed down, I kindly asked the soldier
" Could you give me that seed, please? "
" Of course! "
The sparkling blue of the seed was very attractive when the young soldier gave me the seed, and it made in my hand, Something appeared in front of my eyes!

You don't have enough proximity to get information about special abilities.
The seed was very attractive. And it said I wasn't close enough to the seed. There was only one thing my instinct told me to do. Eat it.
" Do someone knows what will happens if one eat the seed? "
No one answered. The soldiers, all raised their shoulders.
The soldiers fight for me, are ready to die for me. Eating the seed might poison me. But I had to try! I was too absorbed by the seed, and I put it in my mouth and swallowed it.
