"Hey, you idiot Ars. What are you doing running around all alone?"

"You're a part-time worker. You're late.

"I'm not late! You ran ahead of me. And what's with the wall?

"Don't be lazy, brother Bite. We just intercepted enemy cavalry targeting Fontana's main camp. There must still be survivors inside the walls. Surround them and hit them with ice lances through the gaps in the walls.

"d*mn, all right. I'll have something to say later, but it looks like now's not the time. You heard the man. There are Uruk soldiers here. Surround the wall. Attack from the outside. Do not let them escape.

　It was soon after Carlos had called the knights of Fontana to come near the hill to carry out the invasion of Einrad's Hill.

　I was lucky enough to notice the enemy's surprise attack from the top of the tower, as I was ahead of them in laying out the road and building a position.

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

　I rushed to intercept them.

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

　However, I was not ready to intercept them because I was working on other tasks.

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

　I had no choice but to go out so fast that I left everyone else behind.

　With my beloved Valkyrie and her magic horns.

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

　By the way, our force is made up of those who have the surname of Barca and can ride on Valkyrie without horns.

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

　We went out with only the horned ones so that the cavalry of the Bite brothers could follow us later.

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

　They predicted the enemy's position seen from the top of the tower and the route they would take to the main camp, and then they rushed with the horned cavalrymen to get there first.

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

　They then made contact with the enemy cavalry.

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

　The moment I saw them, I was scared.

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

　There were apparently more antlers on the other side than on our side.

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

　The pressure on the soldiers riding on the bipedal lizard-like creatures, visible from a distance, was tremendous.

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

　No matter how much magic the horned Valkyrie could use, it would not stand a chance if it were to collide head-on with the cavalry.

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

　So I decided to use a plan that I had been thinking of for a while.

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

　I was thinking of operating the Valka army as a cavalry unit.

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

　But even though they can ride on Valkyries and release magic, that alone will not guarantee victory.

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

　In fact, it is still full of weaknesses.

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

　One of these weaknesses was that the Valka Cavalry had a weak defense.

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

　The idea was to damage the opponent by running through the battlefield as much as possible, and then to break off with a single blow by remote attack using magic, so they wanted to have less heavy equipment that would slow down their movements.

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

　Thanks to this, Valkyrie, the foot, wears almost no protective gear, and the person riding her wears only leather armor.

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

　In this state, there is a possibility that we will be damaged by the enemy's magic or bow attacks.

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

　I was wondering what I could do to prevent this.

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

　And one of the methods I came up with at that time was to entrust the defense to a Valkyrie with horns.

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

　The idea was to have a horned valkyrie running along with a hornless valkyrie mounted by a person, and in case of a large number of bow attacks, the valkyrie would use [Wall Construction] to defend against the bow attacks.

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

　Incidentally, a rider cannot use "wall construction".

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

　This is because the spell of "Wall Construction" is not activated unless the rider touches the ground.

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

　On the other hand, a Valkyrie can perform "wall construction" even when she is riding, perhaps because her four legs are in contact with the ground.

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

　With this in mind, I decided to have my Valkyries activate the "wall-building" spell in the face of the hordes of enemy cavalry.

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

　Moreover, while moving, they build up a 10-meter-high wall around their opponents.

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

　As expected, even the cavalrymen could not help themselves when surrounded by this wall.

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

　It hurriedly made a sharp U-turn and tried to escape the encirclement from the place where there was no wall.

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

　Thanks to the fact that the opponents rushed to gather in one place from the other side, the situation of disadvantage due to the difference in numbers disappeared this time.

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

　Since they were coming in lines to where Valkyrie and I were waiting for them, all we had to do was to concentrate our attack on the first one.

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

　As it turned out, the plan worked.

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

　Looking back later, I see that the walls we had built as we ran were only alternately spaced and full of gaps, so they looked like stone circles.

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

　If they had kept their cool, the riders might have been able to get through.

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

　It was probably a good thing that they were in a state of panic.

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

　It was a good thing that they lost their cool and rushed toward me.

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

　Shortly after I trapped the enemy cavalry, the Bite brothers rode in without horns.

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

　Then Leon and my dad brought their men.

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

　Thanks to them, we succeeded in surrounding the stone circle where we had trapped the enemy and beat them up unilaterally.

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

　If we continue to surround the circle and keep up our attack, the battle will soon be over.

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

　It was a lucky thing that we were able to repel the attackers with little damage.

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

　The battle was a success.

"So, you came to Einrad and immediately took out Keima and Miriam?"

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

"Master Carlos, who are this Keema and Miriam?"

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

"Keema is the direct son of the head of the House of Uruk, and Miriam is his second in command. Keema is a young man, only about 21 years old this year, but Miriam is famous as a fierce general who has fought many battles. He was once famous in the many battles for the Hill of Einrad, where many of the knights of Fontana were killed. Well done."

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

"Thank you, sir."

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

"It's just, you're getting too much credit. If you don't do this there is a possibility that none of our knights will be able to defeat you in the upcoming battle. Ars, you will not take part in the hill-taking that is about to begin. You'll be quiet as you build your positions.

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

Are you sure?

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

Yes, I do. This battle is partly to see how well the former Raymondites can work for me. If they do well, I will give them credit and guarantee their positions. If not, I will tell them that their interests will be curtailed. You'll just have to stand back and watch to motivate them.

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

"Yes, sir."

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

"Oh, and you can keep this. You can keep this as a reward for your bravery. It's the magic sword that Keema was carrying.

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

"Oh, you don't mind?　Thank you very much. By the way, what kind of magical sword is this?

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

"It's called the Nine-Tailed Sword, and it belongs to an Uruk. Like the Ice Spirit Sword, when you put magic power into it, flames will grow into the shape of a sword. It's a rare piece of equipment.

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

"Are you sure you want such a valuable thing?"

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

I don't care. In fact, Miriam had one just like it. I'll take that one. You don't mind?

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

"Of course. Thank you, Carlos.

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

"Ah, well, congratulations on your victory. Now, get some rest.

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

Yes, excuse me.

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

　I did it.

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

　I was afraid they might say something about me fighting on my own, but it seems they're willing to let me off the hook.

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

　Besides, I got a magic sword.

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

　And I don't have to be on the battlefield in the coming battles for the hill.

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

　I took the nine-tailed sword that Carlos gave me and skipped back to the others.
