　Well, what shall we do?

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

　I have come forward, but will I be able to inspire my allies and demoralize the enemy with what I have to say?

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

　It may be difficult.

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

　Then let us change our minds.

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

　I believe that the atmosphere of the place will have an influence on this kind of thing.

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

　In other words, you should beat your opponent in something else rather than what you say.

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

　When I was listening to the other side's speech, I felt that their voices were clear.

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

　It sounded so convincing that I could easily follow it before I could say anything about the content of the speech.

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

　Then I'll try to make my voice more clear than that voice.

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

　But it's not enough to speak normally.

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

　It is not enough to speak loudly.

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

　Then I have only magic to rely on.

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

　I'll start to work up the magic while I'm riding and moving.

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

　And I concentrate it on one point on my body.

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

　The vocal cords.

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

　The human body's mechanism to produce voice is nothing but the trembling of the vocal cords in the back of the throat.

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

　The vocal cords at the back of the throat emit air vibrations as sound and meaningful language.

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

　I imagine that I can put magic power on them.

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

　The vibrations of the vocal cords in my throat, together with the air and the magic power, are emitted from my mouth to the outside.

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

　Then I strike the listener with the magic power.

The Fontana family has granted me possession of the land of Barca. They even left a deed to make it official. But now that Barca has begun to develop, they want to take it away from me. They want to take our land, they want to take what is there, and they want to take the people who live in Barca. The proof of this is the recent incident of injury. My brother was harmed innocently, yet unprovoked. This is unacceptable. We must protect our land, our things, and ourselves. Now is the time to show the power of those who live in Barca. Fight, warriors!

　The words come out surprisingly easily.

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

　At first I didn't know what to say, but once I started talking, I couldn't stop.

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

　Maybe I was more upset about this incident than I thought I was.

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

　I kept on talking about how the other party was outrageous, lacking in common sense, unreasonable, and so on.

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

　It seems that he had succeeded in concentrating his magical power on his vocal cords.

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

　Both friend and foe are listening to what I say without moving a muscle.

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

　No, the man who was speaking first tried to interrupt me, but my voice was too strong for him to hear me.

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

　I guess it was because he kept on talking with the phrase "fight" in many places, along with denouncing the Fontana family.

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

　It seemed to me that their morale was beginning to decline, and I was getting so excited that I was almost on the verge of falling forward.

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

　I glanced back and was surprised myself.

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

　I got the impression that a ferocious dog was trying to bite the target in front of him while pulling the leash on his collar to the very limit.

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

　Everyone in my camp was waiting to be unleashed.

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

　It's about time.

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

"All hands on deck!　Destroy the enemy!

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

　And so, we were in the thick of battle.

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

　The battle was on.

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

Get out of the way, get out of the way!

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

　I give the order and run at the head of the pack.

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

　Riding into the middle of a group of over 500 people.

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

　The guy who had been talking in front of Fontana's army sees me charge and turns back into the army, and I follow him.

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

　I wonder if he is intoxicated by the situation.

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

　Or perhaps it is more correct to say that he was getting excited as he was talking to himself about what he had just said.

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

　He had chosen without any hesitation to make a rush attack, which he would have hesitated to do under normal circumstances.

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

　But it was not a failure.

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

　I, who had been talking to him as if I was slapping him with my magical power, suddenly gave the order for an all-out assault and rushed in.

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

　The other party did not have the mental fortitude to cope with the situation.

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

　Perhaps they had originally planned to take a defensive position called "spear bedding" by combining shields and spears in a group.

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

　Maybe they intended to rain arrows with their bows.

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

　However, the lead group of the opponents was not ready for that, and they were caught in the middle of my riding rush attack.

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

　They were swinging their weapons left and right.

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

　Now I have a stick in my hand.

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

　I have also brought a hard sword, but I feel that its reach is a little short for use in the riding position.

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

　So I have prepared something else instead.

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

　I created it with my magic.

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

　Hardened bricks of a hard substance, of a length and thickness that would be easy to use.

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

　Unlike a sword, it had no blade, but it was still as hard as metal, and would naturally do tremendous damage when struck with it.

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

　But I was surprised at my own strength.

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

　I have a spell called [Body Enhancement].

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

　I can strengthen my body just by casting the spell, but I set it to a modest strengthening ratio for ease of use in everyday life.

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

　But what I'm using now is a spell to strengthen my body to the maximum extent by sending the magic power I've developed to my whole body without using spells.

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

　He wields a stick of hardened bricks, strengthening his body even more than with a spell.

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

　This worked much better than expected.

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

　A peasant soldier of Fontana's army, struck by the hardened brick rod.

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

　It was blown away.

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

　It was not like he was hit by a stick and fell backward.

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

　It was as if he had been shot backward, and the peasants behind him had hit the ground.

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

"Haha, what's this? I didn't know they were able to strengthen it this much.

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

　I laughed as I watched the scene.

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

　Knocking down an opponent with overwhelming power.

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

　It's a barbaric act, if you think about it calmly.

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

　But on this battlefield, it was nothing more than an act to lift my spirits and to release the pleasure chemicals in my brain.

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

　I kept on pushing forward, blasting away at the enemy toward the center of Fontana's army.
