Chapter 491: Friendly questioning
Queen Cumman, who was taking a bath in a tub, looked up at the roof of the castle and closed her eyes.
‘What should I do? I can lie about all the things you want to know, however that look is that of a man who keeps his promises.
It is not something that someone who wants to make angry by lying, because if one soldier of him has the ability to kidnap me with no one noticing.
It is very likely that he can corroborate all the information that I say without me being able to do anything to defend myself. ‘
Queen Cumman sighed and splashed her face with hot water ‘I think I have no choice but to tell the truth.’
After this Queen Cumman came out of the tub to be able to put her clothes on, the next day the queen she met with Einar and Dreide in the castle’s courtyard.
As she sat down, she looked a little curious at Einar and Dreide, as they both looked very elegant.
Einar noticed the look of Queen Cumman. “Does our red-haired appearance call you tension or are you just curious to know about us?”
Queen Cumman looked seriously at Einar. “Many say that redheaded people are a real danger, but after seeing you I think they will be sought out and eliminated out of fear.”
Einar smiled and drank some pine leaf tea. “That will be regrettable, however I can assure you that I will finish this stupid practice with my bare hands.
Well, they would only be killing innocent people for a stupid retrograde thought, plus all my children have red hair.
That this stupid idea still exists is just one more reason why it can eliminate its promoters entirely. “
Queen Cumman looked curiously at Einar and looked at her mug before drinking the honey-sweetened pine tea.
“I am quite surprised to see that you can so easily say that you are going to kill a lot of people just because they have the idea that redheads are a danger.”
Einar sighed and smiled evilly “Sometimes it is necessary to make sacrifices in order to achieve a higher goal. In this case, I am not very interested in killing thousands of people to end that idea.
Of course, killing people simply for killing them is a waste can always be used to work in the mines or to build buildings necessary to improve the nation.
But I think we talked enough about redheads, we talked about the principal topic, how many enemies will we be facing? “
Queen Cumman drank her pine tea and bowed her head. “I don’t know the exact numbers, however she may hear some priests in charge of doing the army logistics.
That the army should be approximately over 200,000 soldiers, this because they did not stop always complaining about the significant amount of problems caused by the army. “
Einar started laughing wryly. “I can’t believe they are going to sacrifice so many people just so they can fight us.
Do you have any idea how many warriors and knights there are in the army? Do not take into account civilians who do not have the ability to defend themselves. “
Queen Cumman closed her eyes, trying to remember. “There should be only 200 knights and approximately no more than 300 horsemen.
As for the warriors, it should be at least 30,000 because many died in the castle battle earlier.
All the rest of the army is made up of women, children, the elderly or disabled people. “
Einar, hearing that, stroked her mustache. “How would you evaluate the performance of the rest of the army without considering the warriors or those who have experience?”
Queen Cumman shook her head at her. “They are all too weak to begin with. Most women don’t even have enough strength to hold a sword or spear.
Children, because of their age can only hold small daggers which do not represent a danger because many of them are in poor condition.
The elderly, due to their age can barely move some weapons, however they were given only spears because it was the only weapon with which they could really become something.
As for the disabled, they are only a group that can do some things depending on their physical capacity, but they do not represent a danger.
Well, since they lack an arm or a leg, they are simply troops that are going to stay in one place, so they will be easy to kill.
As for the rest of the army, I can tell you that it was barely enough training to be able to stop one or two blows from your soldiers with axes.
He also does not have experience so it will be quite easy to kill them, however because of the numbers they have it will be a complicated task.
Now, before you ask, the weapons of the coalition army are quite varied. The rarest are iron or steel, however they are very few.
The weapons that they are using the most are made of bronze or copper, not to mention that there are many weapons that are even made of stone, especially daggers or spears.
As long as the armor only the warriors have chain-mail to protect themselves, the rest of the army that can handle a weapon fairly well was given leather armor.
Everyone else has to wear their linen or wool clothes, as there is no armor for them, although I have seen some soldiers who have enough capacity to be able to create tree armor.
I know they are not the best armor, but at least they provide them with a high defense ability, however that is all I know about the normal army.
As for the cavalry, all the horses that we have are medium in size and only the horses of the leaders of the knights and of us as kings have chain-mail protection.
All other horses are completely unprotected.
Now talking about the location of the army is quite simple since everyone is gathered around the Bangor barony.
However, I am almost sure that the leaders will decide to attack you if you approach them because they have confidence in the superior numbers they have.
Well, they have the mentality that your warriors will not be able to kill so many enemies around them.
The land in that area should only be plains with no traces of trees because it is a growing area. “
