　We thought that our expedition was over when we achieved our goal of capturing Einrad's Hill.

　But it was not so.

　It is an expedition until we return home.

　I had been feeling relaxed after the capture of Einrad's Hill, and I thought that everything was already over.

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

　But that was not the case at all.

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

　Nothing was over yet.

　It all started when Carlos said something to me after the party with the drinks I had prepared.

"You all enjoyed the party, didn't you? You have all enjoyed the banquet. The next battle will not be as easy as this one.

"What?　The next battlefield?"

"Yes. This time we fought to take back this hill of Einrad. But it is not over yet. You know that there is a separate force now attacking this hill and another town to the north?　That's where we're going next."

"Mr. Carlos, may I ask you a question? Wasn't the capture of the city to the north a diversion from the capture of the hill of Einrad here by the Uruks?　If you've captured the hill, you've already captured the hill. ......"

"Ars, are you a fool? The hill of Einrad has been a disputed territory between Fontana and Uruk for many years, but the city to the north is equally valuable. Therefore, the House of Uruk has been forced to turn its attention in that direction.

"......Yes, that's right. That's what I've heard."

"We have also received reports from the detachment that went to capture the city to the north. However, the situation seems to be very grave. Therefore, we must immediately send out our troops to help them capture the city.

"But then, what about this hill?　You just took it, are you going to get rid of it?"

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

"I would never do such a thing. I will leave Einrad temporarily in your hands, Ars von Barka. Fortify the hill. I will not allow you to be dropped before I drop the city to the north!"

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

"I'm sorry!　Wait a minute. The Barka army is mainly cavalry and has a small number of men. ....... No matter how many walls you build to protect them, there's a limit.

"I see. Then you can recruit new troops from the villages you have taken around this hill. Gather your men and defend it well. Understood?　The others will join me in capturing the city to the north. I will take credit where credit is due, so each of you be ready."

　No, no, no, what are you talking about?

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

　The other knights are happy to hear your boastful reply, but we are not so happy.

　Defending this hill with a barca is insane!

"Carlos, may I? I would like to defend this hill with Master Ars.

　But just as I was getting impatient, a knight said something unexpected.

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

　Who could it be?

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

　I don't know him well, but I feel like I've seen him somewhere before.

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

　Well, I don't know the other knights very well, but I wonder if I have seen their faces at the New Year's celebration.

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

　I was wondering where I had seen it and then it hit me.

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

　Yes, he is a knight named Peacha, isn't he?

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

　Picha was a peasant knight who had fought with me.

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

　He was the one who captured and interrogated Raymond during the Barca uprising, and he was an acquaintance of Vargas.

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

　Why does he want to defend this place with me?

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

"Very well. Picha stay here. The others will go as soon as they're ready. Be ready for anything."

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

　However, despite my concern, Carlos decided on his own that Picha would stay.

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

　Thus, I was ordered to guard the hill of Einrad that we had taken.

"So, what's your plan, Mr. Peacha? I don't suppose you're thinking of avenging your late master Raymond, are you?"

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

"Ha-ha-ha, I understand your concern, but it's not that. I have no intention of harming you.

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

Then why did you decide to stay?　You will get more credit if you follow Mr. Carlos and capture the city to the north."

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

"I don't know about that. Even if it were you, it would be difficult to defend Einrad, wouldn't it? If that is the case, I would think that staying here and helping with the defense would still give you a chance to take the credit.

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

"......I have to admit, I'm not very good at gut-searching. What are you trying to do, Mr. Peacha? You know that it would be unbelievable for both of us to go all the way with Barca, a former enemy of ours.

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

"Well, let me put it simply. I fell in love with you because of your fighting spirit. You fought well against the army led by Mr. Raymond and in this battle as well. And then there is Vargas, who is a farmer like me and with whom I have fought. I have decided that the best way to fight alongside you is to raise my voice here."

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

"I see. I see. In any case, it is the decision of our master. However, I will be in charge of the defense of Einrad. You will listen to my instructions.

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

"Of course. Picha here, I will do my lion's share of work to earn your trust. I look forward to working with you."

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

　Hmmm, can we really trust them?

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

　But it is true that Peacha's membership will be helpful.

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

　He has a lot of experience working on the battlefield because he was made a knight from a farmer's background.

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

　Moreover, he has taken up promising future knight candidates as his squires.

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

　Squires can also be used as commanders to fight together with ordinary soldiers.

　The cavalry of Barka can act as one in field battles, but not so when it comes to defense.

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

　In order to defend the hill, they must be placed in various locations and each must work in tandem to defend the hill.

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

　It is necessary to have someone who is capable of organizing the general army.

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

　It's no use.

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

　Now we have Leon and the rest of the Grahams.

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

　I'll put Picha together with them and have him work and watch.

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

　I decided to repair the defensive structure of Einrad's Hill, which had collapsed in many places during the siege.
