"Mr. Ars, I have something to say. May I?"

Leon. What's wrong?

Yes. I believe that thanks to Mr. Ars's success, we will be able to conquer the hill of Einrad much more quickly than we had imagined. However, the hill of Einrad has already been occupied by the Uruks for several years and has been fortified. I do not think it will be an easy task.

"Yeah. Yeah, I guess so.

"As for the flow of events, once we have recaptured the villages surrounding the hill, we will begin the attack on the hill. However, it will take us about a cycle of the phases of the moon to capture the hill, no matter how fast we do it.

"Seriously ....... It's going to take that long. I'm a newlywed."

"I know. But let's leave it at that. I heard that Mr. Ars was told by Carlos that he does not have to participate in the battle itself. Are you sure about that?

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

"Yes. Yes. We're mainly cavalry, and we don't want to take on a fortified hill. That's convenient."

"But it is not enough to do nothing. First of all, it is advisable to make the position complete so that the Fontana forces can concentrate on capturing the hill. Then there are some things we need to do.

"What do you want to do?　What's that?"

We must stop the enemy reinforcements. The Uruk are not only strong here in the hills of Einrad. The reason for fortifying this place is to hold out until reinforcements from Uruk lands arrive. Reinforcements will surely come.

"Huh?　Who else was given the task of stopping the reinforcements? The troops who left the city of Fontana didn't just gather here. I'm sure that Carlos has already sent out a detachment to stop the reinforcements.

"Yes, that's right. But that would also mean attacking the cities north of Einrad's Hill and turning the attention of the Uruks in that direction. Reinforcements cannot be completely prevented. So we should take precautions.

"I see. Okay. Then I'll think of a way to prevent reinforcements.

　Carlos gave me the nine-tailed sword, the magic sword of Uruk, and I skipped back to my camp.

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

　But then, someone else had an opinion about me.

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

　It was Rion, who had become my brother this year.

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

　Apparently, he was aware of the current situation and was thinking about what to do next.

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

　As for me, I was feeling like an office worker after work when he told me I didn't have to participate in the battle, but it was a big difference.

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

　However, his opinion was worth considering.

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

　Reinforcements from the House of Uruk.

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

　Certainly, it would be a mistake to think that there would be no reinforcements.

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

　Reinforcements would surely come to help the invading hill.

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

　Carlos' preliminary plan was to start a battle at another point to deprive them of the strength to come to the aid of the invaders.

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

　However, that may have only a subtle effect in the current situation.

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

　After all, I had already fought a battle and defeated the enemy general.

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

　I am not sure if they will turn their attention to the detachment or to us.

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

　We should still think about what to do in case enemy reinforcements arrive.

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

　I took Rion's advice and decided to think of countermeasures.

"...... Mr. Ars. It was I who said that we should prevent the enemy reinforcements. I, however, never thought that I would do such a thing."

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

"What? This will stop the enemy reinforcements, right?　What's the problem?"

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

"No, I don't have a problem with it. ....... I just can't believe what I'm seeing. ......"

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

"I see. Well, I think it's a little too big a deal."

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

"I don't think it's a big deal. No one would think of walling off a hill to prevent reinforcements.

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

"Well, the Barka army is kind of in the business of building walls. Everyone is getting used to it and the work is becoming more efficient. It's a good trend."

　Rion told me to prevent the enemy reinforcement, so I thought of a countermeasure and did it.

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

　When Rion saw this, he opened his mouth and muttered, "That's impossible.

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

　Well, that may be natural.

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

　The way I had taken to prevent the enemy reinforcements was to wall off the hill of Einrad itself, which we were currently attacking.

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

　After we had taken the surrounding villages, it was time to start the invasion, and I actually saw the actual hill, which to me was more like a small mountain than a hill.

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

　There are several routes up the hill, but the rest of them are quite difficult to climb due to rocks and other debris.

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

　The routes that are easy to climb have defensive walls built to serve as checkpoints, and the paths to them are narrow, making it easy to be attacked from above with bows and arrows.

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

　I felt that Rion's opinion that it was difficult to conquer in a simple way and that it would take a long time was quite right.

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

　It seems that an endurance battle is inevitable.

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

　Reinforcements will surely come.

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

　This fortified hill will surely buy them that much time.

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

　However, it would be difficult for the small number of Barka forces to stop those reinforcements.

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

　Then, instead of intercepting the enemy reinforcements, we should make it impossible for the reinforcements to reach the hill.

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

　With this in mind, he built walls all around the hill.

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

　We started building walls along the routes that the Uruks were likely to take when they came for reinforcements, and eventually built a wall that went around the hill.

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

　Of course, the wall does not completely surround the hill, but I have a tower taller than the wall I am building and binoculars that allow me to see for a long distance.

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

　We will be able to spot any reinforcements at a glance and intercept them while using the walls.

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

　The attackers will be able to concentrate on their attacks with peace of mind.

"Leon, this is not the end. This wall is only to keep the reinforcements from entering the hill. We must also be on the lookout for the surrounding area.

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

"Perimeter watch?" You mean the patrols of the part-timers? How far is that thing going?"

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

"I told them I'd go as far as I could get back here in a day. It's not that far.

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

"A day trip, but on a Valkyrie, right?　I wonder what kind of distance they are driving."

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

　After the wall is somewhat completed, I have been sending my part-time brother outside as well.

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

　As for Baito, building the wall is probably not enough for him.

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

　He goes out to the villages around the hill to see if the Uruk reinforcements are coming.

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

　A long ride in a Valkyrie would relieve some of the resentment.

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

　Thus, I kept a watchful eye on the perimeter while Carlos attacked Einrad's hill.
