Fuck no. Do you realize how much training it would take to become proficient enough with a bow to not end up a dead moron on the battlefield. There's a reason why everyone switched to guns even when they sucked more bows.

Just get more Not!DeLisles. less hassle.

You are ISOLDE REINHARDT, a Belkan Knight and the current holder of the title "The Wolf of Kursk".

Currently, you are leading the spearhead of an Imperial offensive into the heart of Yuktobania. However, while you have been victorious so far, progress has been slow. Unlike the Oseans and Ustians, the Yuktobanians actually tried to build up large forces of heavy armor. While tending to be very expensive and overengineered with questionable reliability, Yuktobanian tanks were proving to be more than a match for Imperial tanks in head to head battles.

Also, there was the issue of supplies. Your intial victories against the Federation meant you've outrun your supply lines as well as your fellow advancing units, meaning your short on supplies and your flanks are exposed. Normally you would have stopped here to consolidate your gains, but you've recently come into conflict with an Imperial officer.

You've never had a high opinion of Imperial soldiers. The majority of them were conscripts who were poorly trained and poorly motivated, but at least they were disciplined and recognized authority. No, it was the officers that were constant headaches, always questioning your authority. In particular was a General Lucius Geld, more boy than a man (in more ways than one). You could swear he was only a little over half your age.

Technically, you had command authority due to your seniority, but Geld had a lot of influence among his own troops, which comprised the bulk of your force, which meant you unfortunately couldn't COMPLETELY ignore him.

"What's the meaning of this?!" Geld sneered as he approached you. "Why have we stopped? The Federation is retreating and the field is ours!"

>I'll consider your request.

>>25536578
>A "friendly" debate on the merits of the Geneva Conventions.

>>25537206
>I'll consider your request.

In the most sincere voice we can muster of course, we're lying and ignoring him but he doesn't need to know that.

>>25537206
>Geld

>>25537299
Or maybe this is EW1 or EW2.

>>25537206

No Tarin shanking bitches? More's the pity...

>We need to hold our ground and consolidate our gains.

If you had an ounce of strategics in your head you would realize that we have not only outrun our supplies, but our allies as well!

>>25537331
We said we'd consider his request, which we will.

We never said we wouldn't then dismiss his request as stupid and proceed to do the intelligent thing.

>>25537206
"No. We will hold our ground and consolidate our gains." You say plainly and sternly. "The Federation may have retreated, but they will be back, and in greater numbers. We have been advancing nonstop for over two weeks already, and our men need rest and supplies."

"You mean MY men." Geld snorts.

"Let me remind you that I am still in overall command of this offensive." You say, adding a hard edge to your voice and giving him a bit of a deathglare. "We will hold position until we can reestablish contact with the rear lines."

Grunting something about being in his tent, Geld sulks off without even giving a proper salute.

>Remind Geld that it is common courtesy to salute a superior.

Title? It was supposed to be a moniker than anything more official.

Maybe I should've gone for 'The Iron Wolf' instead?

>>25537487
>Let him go. It's not worth it.

Good, if he's in his tent then he won't be here bothering us. Its a win/win.

>>25537487
>>Remind Geld that it is common courtesy to salute a superior.

>>25537313
I doubt Isolde is THAT old and from the sound of her backstory, his parents retaliated against her for letting the imperial officer in her watch die (likely Geld)

Though if his father is the infamous imperial sadist, well...

>>25537555
Actually, she killed him herself.

In a duel.

>>25537577
To be fair though, I believe it was an wccident.

Is this going to last to the part where we kill this guy?

Cause I wouldn't really mind seeing that.
Even if it ended up with Isolde getting kicked out.

I hate brats.

>>25537555
Hey, some noble families can get pretty big...

>>25537487
Normally, you'd call out such a display of disrespect, ESPECIALLY if it was coming from one of your own squires or knights. However, you have bigger problems to worry about than decorum. Mainly, figuring out how to fortify your camp against the inevitable Federation counterattack.

You see some of Geld's retinue, pretty much just junior officers unlucky enough to be under his command, are still milling about, unsure of what to do. While you're pretty sure most of them are just shameless sycophants, there's the possibility there might be somebody in the mix who actually knows what he's doing.

It's good to get to know the people in the frontline and helps morale amongst them to see an Officer with them.

>>25537659
>>Check in on your knights.
>>Check in on the Imperial soldiers.
screw the officers. Check on your own and the grunts. I think they'd appreciate it.

>>25537659

>>Check in on the Imperial soldiers.

>>Check in on your knights.

>>25537659
>Check in on your knights.

>>25537659
You decide to go check in on the regular Imperial soldiers under your command. Moving down to the edge of the camp, you can see that the troops are already busy digging trench lines and earthworks. Not surprising, as this procedure has been drilled into them over the past few months as you advanced through Yuktobania.

Their overall morale is... okay to say the least. The heavy casualties they been suffering so far has made them all feel disposable and worthless, but the fact that you've been winning proves to be the thread that keeps their spirits up.

"Knight-Commander Reinhardt!" One of the soldiers recognizes you as you stride through, instantly saluting. "I-It's an honor! What brings you out here in this part of the camp?"

>I was just passing through. Keep up the good work.

This and have him walk us through the earthworks in progress. Make him feel like part of the team.

>>25537884
"Actually, I was wondering what the general mood here is for you and your fellow soldiers." You say. "A good officer should always know what her troops are thinking."

"Yeah, as if General Geld cares." The soldier grumbles before realizing you heard him. "Um- I meant no disrespect to him, of course!"

"Relax, soldier, I don't have a high opinion of Geld myself." You sigh. "Anyways, what is your name?"

"Sergeant Balder." The soldier salutes again.

"Now, back to my question." You remind him.

"Right!" Balder nods. "Frankly, Knight-Commander, we're all tired. We've just been on the move constantly that we're starting to feel more like pack animals than people. I mean, it's nice that we're winning and all, but what good does that do if we all end up dying eventually anyways?"

"So you're saying that you think you and your men will all die on the front?"

"And get replaced by the guys sitting in the rear."

>I'm sorry, that's just the reality of things.

>>25538198
>I know you're all tired. We're halting our advance so we can all get some much needed rest.

>>25538198
"I know you're all tired, which is why I ordered a halt in our advance." You assure him. "And once we reestablish contact with the rear lines, I promise that I will try to get you and your men rotated out."

"Y-you don't have to be so generous, Knight-Commander!" Balder stammers. "You don't have to go through so much trouble for us!"

"I don't know how things are handled in your country, but in Belka, good soldiers are rewarded for their work." You say. "Remember that."

"We will! Thank you Knight-Commander!" Balder says happily.

"Good, now dig those trenches deep and build those earthworks high. I expect we'll be needing to put them to good use soon."

"Right away!" Balder salutes you and then scampers off to his squad, no doubt to spread the good news. You're not sure if you could actually fulfill that promise, but you'll damn well try. These men deserve a bit of hope, after all.

It'll be dark soon, meaning you don't have much time left to organize the defenses.

>>25538407

I'm of the belief that anyone who stands in the way of victory should be killed. To that end Isolde shall take up the commissar's task.

Man, you'd think the Federation would learn to stop messing with Isolde after she destroyed an entire division with just a single regiment.

>>25538407
>Consult the officers. You need to make sure they can operate without Geld.
We need at least a few competent Officers to lead the soldiers.

>>25538407
>>Consult your knights. They need to know what to do.

>>25538407
>>Consult the officers. You need to make sure they can operate without Geld.

Um... I think that if we try to completely isolate or ignore Geld, that he is probably going to make himself a problem, one way or another.

On the other hand, he might become a pain in the ass *anyway* if we include him in command... Ugh.

>>25538407
>Consult your knights. They need to know what to do

>>25538407
You decide that the regular soldiers could handle themselves. You make your way back to the section of camp where your knights and squires have settled. You see that, as expected, they've already started their own preparations for defense.

Seeing you arrive, your most senior knights, Sirs Renald, Theold, and Dietrich instantly materialize at your side, ready for orders.

"You orders, Knight Commander?" They ask.

"Make sure at least half of our men are awake at any time. Set up a sleep rotation. I would rather not get caught in a surprise night attack with no knights available. Should any battle start, you are to hold back as a reserve to reinforce any part of the line that is faltering. Is that understood?"

"Yes, Knight-Commander!" Your knights affirm.

Now, you're left wondering what to do for the night.

>Stay on patrol. You must be ever vigilant.
>Get some rest. Even you have your limits.
>Study your maps and intel. You'll need anticipate the Federation's moves now that you're on the defensive.

As much as I would like to sleep. Better to have idea where we'll be hit from than not.

>>25538815

Always have a plan

>>25538815
>>Study your maps and intel. You'll need anticipate the Federation's moves now that you're on the defensive.

>>25538815
Well, you weren't particularly tired, but you didn't want to make your knights worry by seeing you out in the field when you should be getting rest, so you retreat to your tent and instead begin to study the maps and scout reports of the area.

Fortunately, you've managed to entrench yourself on a rather high hill overlooking a wide plain, giving you a commanding view of the surrounding terrain. Any movements by the Federation would be easily spotted. However, the wide open terrain also meant their more mobile armor had more options to attack from, which a skilled commander could use to slowly sap your fighting strength with continual pressure. However, you've yet to fight a skilled Federation commander so you're not overly worried about that.

The biggest sticking point, however, was the nearby town of Vorla, which was a handful of kilometers away. The Federation could easily use that town as a staging point for any counterattack, and your forces don't have adequate artillery support at the moment to put any pressure on the town. It would be something you'd have to deal with eventually.

Thankfully, the scout reports are more encouraging. The severe losses the Federation suffered means they have to replenish them before starting a new attack, meaning you've probably got at least a couple of weeks of breathing room.

"Knight Commander!" Sir Ranald. "We have a problem!"

"What's wrong?" You ask.

"A Sergeant Balder has arrived, asking for an audience with you. He claims the matter is urgent."

"Let him in." You say.

Sir Ranald nods and steps aside, letting an out of breath Sergeant Balder to enter the tent."

"Knight-Commander!" He gasps. "It's Geld, he's, he's leading soldiers out of the base!"

>>Leave right away. You have to intercept him!

>>25539085
"Ranald. Balder. With me NOW." You say, striding out of the tent. "Balder, explain what is happening."

"I... I don't really know. All I know is that some of the officers were running around looking for "volunteers" for a "special mission". Me and my squad managed to avoid them, but others weren't so lucky. Scuttlebut is Geld is trying to lead some sort of offensive."

"How many men has he rallied?"

"I'm not sure!"

Unfortunately, by the time you reach the edge of camp, it's too late. You can see a small column of Imperial troops marching on Vorla.

"That idiot..." You scowl.

"Judging from the size of the column, he doesn't have any more than five hundred men and a dozen armored vehicles." Ranald judges. "It would hardly dent our defensive strength."

"After what you said, Knight Commander, a lot of the guys were keen on following Geld out. Even a bunch of his officers 'overslept' to avoid him." Balder adds in.

>It's too late now. Either he'll take the town or he'll come running back with his tail between his legs. No sense wasting more men trying to get him back.

Eh? We said something that made people want to follow Geld out?

"a lot of the guys were keen on following" ?

Did you mean "were NOT keen"?

Because the second part of that -- "Even a bunch of his officers 'overslept' to avoid him." -- makes it sound as if they DON'T like him?

"We're going after him, right now." You say. "Ranald, Balder, you're both coming with me. Balder, I need you to bring two of your best and most trusted men."

"Right away, Knight-Commander." Balder nods.

In ten minutes Balder comes back with two of his men and you secure a kubelwagon for transport. Sure, it wasn't as menacing or as powerful as your tank, but time was of the essence and you needed speed more than firepower.

"You realize that I cannot guarantee any of your safety." You say to Balder and his men.

"We'll follow you to the end, Knight-Commander." Balder assures you.

"Ranald, as fast as you can, please." You order.

You have to give Ranald credit, as he certainly knows how to push the little Kubelwagon far beyond its limits. With a loud roar the car surges across the plains, bypassing the Imperial column and sliding to a stop right in front of the lead vehicle, where, unsurprisingly enough, Geld is "leading" his men.

"GELD!" You yell, standing up on your seat, arms crossed like an angry mother. "Explain he meaning of this!"

"I'm doing what you're too cowardly to do!" Geld yells from the hatch of his tank. "If you won't take the fight to the Federation, then I will!"

>>25540184
>>Appeal to Geld's men.

>>25540184
>Try and reason, or at least badger, Geld into giving up.

"Geld, how many times have you been shot at? Have you ever had artillery barrages falling down around your ears? Have you even ran into the meat grinder that is a proper defensive position? Seen men around you scream, cry, pray, and die as they are shot, stabbed, bombarded with shells and try to crawl into the mud in hopes that it will buy them a few extra seconds of life.

Because if you continue your foolhardy assault that is what is going to happen to you. You will have the blood of 500 men on your hands, and most likely die in a horrific way. Do you know how long it can take to die from a gut wound? Days, days of constant agony. I would wholeheartedly advise that you stand down."

>Appeal to Geld's men

>>25540184
You decide to ignore Geld for now and appeal to his men instead. After all, an officer was only as powerful as the men willing to follow him.

"Men of the Empire!" You yell, looking at each and every soldier in the eye. "Why are you here? Why do you fight? I'm sure you all have your own reasons, but I can tell you right now, you will achieve nothing following this man!"

You point an accusatory finger at Geld, and the soldiers begin mumbling and looking at each other.

"General Geld doesn't care if you never go home to see your families again, or leave loved ones behind to fend for themselves. He would have you all walk straight into the meatgrinder to improve his own image! Now tell me, is wasting good men like that not tantamount to treason? Would you follow a man like that?"

You narrow your eyes and and stare down each and every soldier you see.

"Well?"

You see the mumbling between the soldiers increase in volume as they begin to consider your words. You can see that your speech is working, and that they are considering your words.

"N-NO!" Geld stammers. "Disobeying a superior officer is a CAPITAL OFFENSE! I will shoot anybody you tries to desert!"

(cont)

>>25541129
Ummm... aren't we the superior officer here? Considering we have over all command of this offense? Or did misread something.

>>25541180

I believe he is technically higher rank than us but we are the one in charge

>>25541180
Nobody ever said Geld was SMART.

>>25541129
However, Geld's words fall upon deaf ears. Pretty much the majority of the men begin to disperse and make their way back to camp.

"Fine! You'll be punished, then!" Geld screams, preparing to fire his tank's cannon.

"Not so fast." You say. In a blink of an eye, you're already on top of his tank, holding your sword to his throat. "You so much as twitch and you'll be short a head."

"T-this is treason!" Geld gulps, but makes no further moves.

"Oh? Least I checked, I'm still your superior officer, which means all I'm doing is administering corporal punishment."

Finally, the majority of Geld's men have dispersed, and are safely out of range of his cannon. There are still a few, about twenty to thirty men, who are either too indoctrinated or too stupid to abandon Geld.

"Fine! I don't need any of them!" Geld spits. "I can do this myself!"

>Go ahead. I won't stop you.

>>25541235

>>25541235

"As much as it would please me to see you get yourself killed, I won't allow you to waste valuable equipment doing it."

>>25541235
>>Oh no you don't. You're coming back with me.
"Even if you're incompetent, you're still my subordinate."

>>25541235
>Oh no you don't. You're coming back with me.

"No matter how much I wish for a fool like you to die. I can't have you dying on my watch."

CURSE YOU DICE GODS

>>25541405
Geld attempts to resist, but you're already prepared, grabbing the back of his head and slamming it into the steel hatch of his tank. Stunned, Gled is powerless to stop you as you physically pull him out of his tank and dump him unceremoniously on the ground. You turn the soldiers still present.

"The General is very tired and would like to rest in his tent. Please see to it that he gets there."

The soldiers don't need to do any second guessing and promptly pick up Geld and carry him back towards the camp.

"Ranald, please commandeer this tank and make sure it reaches the camp intact.

"It will be done." Ranald nods.

"Y-you just beat up a General!" Balder gasps.

"I was well within my right to punish stupidity." You say, taking the kubelwagon's driver seat.

The next few days are uneventful. There's some sporadic artillery fire as the Federation attempts to harass your position, but their main forces keep their distance. Geld, still fuming over his embarrassing defeat at your hands, is still holed up in his tent and doesn't seem to be coming out any time soon.

On the bright side, morale appears to be at an all time high. The first resupply convoys have finally caught up, which means reinforcements aren't far behind. The men here can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

However, you momentary bliss is disrupted by Ranald's clanking armor.

"Knight-Commander, we have a situation."

"If it's another one of Geld's temper tantrums I have no time for it."

"It's not that." Ranald says. "Balder's squad caught trespassers. He's asking for advice on what to do."

"I'll be right there." You sigh. With Geld out of the picture, you've had to handle a lot of micromanaging, since his officers simply were up to the task. You make your way to the center of the camp, where you easily see a dozen men and boys sitting glumly under the guns of Balder's men. However, none of these men were armed, nor were they wearing uniforms.

Hm, wonder if we could get one of the other Wolkenritter to make a cameo.

"They're civilians, Knight-Commander." Balder says, scratching his head. "Wasn't sure what to do with them, so I figured you would know."

"We execute them, of course!" A very familiar, and very irritated voice echoes out from behind you.

Seriously? Of all times for Geld to come crawling out of his hole, he had to come out NOW?

"These people are obviously SPIES!" Geld huffs, marching straight up to the prisoners. "Of course they're dressed as civilians! They want to trick you!"

"No! We're not!" One of the prisoners speaks up. "The Federation soldiers took all of our food! We were just hungry, that's all! We have women and children to feed, too!"

"LIES!" Geld kicks the man in the face, knocking him into the mud.

"GENERAL GELD!" You bellow, marching forward. "These civilians are noncombatants, and therefore will be released!"

"On who's authority?" Geld sneers.

"MINE!" You say. "As long as these men are in Imperial custody, they are under my protection!"

"And then they'll just flee back to Federation lines and sell us out!" Geld's hand starts getting dangerously close to his holstered pistol. "They've seen our camp! They've seen our men! They already have vital intelligence!"

"All they've seen are tents and no more than fifty men." You scowl.

"You Belkan Knights and your 'honor'. You have no idea how real war works!" Gled sputters.

"Geld, I suggest you go back to your tent. Now." Your patience for this man is quickly beginning to wear thin.

"No." Geld humphs. "You Belkan Knights love duels, right? Then I challenge you to one! The winner decides how to dispose of these prisoners!"

>Accept. It's the only way to get him to shut up.

I would rather not soil our honor with such filth.

>>25541943
I change my vote. It is a Knight's Honor to defend the defenseless even if they are on the enemy side and to uphold the rules of war to the absolute fullest.

>>25541825
>>Accept. It's the only way to get him to shut up.
Even though there is no honor in dueling a fool like him.

>Refuse. You don't have time for this.

He's liable to be pushed into something rash, but... No. Enough of this.

>>25542038
Which is why you refuse and not give into the little two year old.

>>25541825
>Accept. It's the only way to get him to shut up.
Lets show him how Belkans do it. WITH RIGHTEOUS FURY!

>>25542075
Accepting means we're giving him ground to stand on. I will not accept even the slightest chance of letting him legitimately do this, as he will have if he wins the duel, unlikely as it is.

If he wants to do something, he will have to go outside the law, and we will MURDER HIS ASS FOR IT.

So, yeah, refuse. (Already voted, don't count this.)

>>25542135
Oh, yeah.

Does anyone really think he'll give in even if we win, respect the results of the duel if they aren't in his favor?

>>25542135
>>25542146
Excellent points. Changing my vote to
>Refuse. You don't have time for this.

>>25542135
Pretty much this.

>>25542146
No, but then he'll continue to lose more of his men. Not to mention add more bullshit to add to our report ageist him.

>>25541825
"Fine, I accept your challenge." You say. Honestly, you were tempted just to shoot him on the spot, but you still have your pride as a knight, something that a man like Geld could never have. "What is your desired weapon of choice?"

Geld's smiles turns into a devious crescent. "Pistols."

"I must remind you, that we knights are trained in all aspects of war, not just swordplay." You say. "I can shoot a pistol just as well as I can swing a sword."

"No matter." Geld scoffs. "Get on with it!"

Immediately, everybody clears out of the way, with your knights making sure nobody interferes. Ranald walks in with an exquisitely carved box, holding a pair of dueling pistols. You each take one.

"As per standard rules of the duel, you shall each take ten paces from each other, turn and fire." Ranald recites.

Easy enough, you think. The pistol feels heavy but familiar in your hand. This wasn't the first time you've done something like this.

Each pace seems agonizingly long, but you slowly count up to ten and turn...

>>25542474
Geld however, has no such qualms and pulls the trigger. There's a loud CLICK but nothing happens. By some miracle, Geld's gun had misfired.

With nothing stopping you, you stride closer to Geld, your loaded pistol still in your grip.

"P-please stop!" He sputters pathetically. "I give up! You win!"

"The duel is not over until both guns are fired." You say.

And all those times when he'd run off, and get people killed, except for us being around? He wouldn't do that?

He is entirely capable of doing harm. The only reason he hasn't is we have been here. And we will not always be here, always be able to stop him.

Enough is enough.
