Chapter 10: Debt A note from Bragi Fire leave some comments Ten thousand against thirty thousand men. It seems like there is a disparity in numbers. There is thirty thousand men under the banner of Dozsa but the ten thousand men that is attacking them are armed. If a Duke had entered this war, that ten thousand men number probably had to be revised. They have weapons, they have tools, they have military formation and things that a real army would have. Thirty thousand men might seem a lot and powerful, but these are thirty thousand peasant men and women, young and old, child and adult. These are not what you called an effective fighting force. It is the kind of force you use as cannon fodder I nay war between nobles’ lords. But these are the kind of people that followed Dozsa in his rebellion against the crown. The peasant is numerous but winning against armed army, cavalry army…..that is not an easy feat This disparity of numbers of people is offset by the quality of men on the other side. Those people alone could kil five to ten men When a person with sharp sword and wearing battle armour fight against peasant who wears coarse cloth and uses hoes and pick, the one who wins would be the one with sharp sword and wearing battle armour. Not to mention there is also those who uses spears and cavalry. The rebel army also has some cavalry, but these cavalries belong to the retinue under their leader George. And it is not many. Around five hundred horses give or take. Though to be honest, Miklos does not have deep understanding of how many men that this rebel army has and how many horses they have. All that he knows is based on hearsay. Today, he nearly died. He was charged by a group of men, and he fought like his life depended on it. And then he was shoved. At least he thinks he was shoved. He could not really confirm it. Because he himself did not remember how it happens. All he knows is he loses his consciousness and then waking up, he is now among bodies. All around him are dead men. Some are lying beside him, blood still dripping hot, but the breath is gone and some are cold And he himself is now covered in blood and mud. He looks at the faces of these people. Men and women, young and old and then he gulped. He understands then what had happened. He was under the bodies of men, men that he knew. Some of whom is his childhood playmate, some of them are children of miner’s uncle he knew. He did not know what happened. No, he knew what happened. It took him only a few second for him to understand something. And the moment he understood, there is something burning in his heart. Guilt? Anger? Regret? He really could not pinpoint the emotions he is feeling right. All of these are people…… he knew. And these people…. these people knew him. And knowing them, he kind of understood what these people had done. The kind of things he would also do for them The cold and heartless has always been the nobles. And the people of hovels and of huts, of thatched houses and mud hut…. they are the most vulgar, yet the affection is real Poor people are not always good, but one thing is certain. They are clearly better than the nobles. The noble whether they were good or not, their happiness, their luxury, all of them, isn’t that based on the suffering that they suffered? A poor man could be petty, he could be a traitor, he could be a betrayer, but tehri harm affects only a few people. Nobles’ words and pen, kills thousand, their orders could bring hundreds of families into the brink of death. And while poor people are not all good, these people that he knew, are all good people. Good people that are forced by the circumstances they are in And so, he understood what they had done. What they had done for him. And knowing it, he felt like his tongue could not speak, and his feet and hand do not know what to do. These people cover him up. With their bodies. He was unconscious. And maybe the enemy saw him among the bodies and thought he was dead. He look
