　The advancing Uruk forces have broken off their movement and are preparing to encamp.

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

　The encampment is a difficult task.

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

　The camp of several thousand people must be fed and put to sleep.

　But this is not the same as camping casually in the field.

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

　It requires a great deal of preparation.

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

　We have to make our beds and prepare food.

　Because of this work, they stop moving while the sun is still relatively high in the sky and start preparing to camp.

　We watched their movements from afar with binoculars.

　We watch the movements of people and objects, trying to guess where they are and what they are doing.

"Food and other supplies seem to be distributed in several places, but they are concentrated in the center of the army."

"You're going to attack at night, aren't you?　Ars, are they going after the food over there?"

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

"Yeah, that's right, brother Bite. How can an army advance if there is no food?

"But they're also very careful. Are you okay?

"If we could ride the Valkyrie and make a beeline for the pantry, we'd succeed. Depending on their precautions, we may not be able to get that close. ......"

"Then we'll burn the tents over there. I hope we can take out a knight or something."

"Well, let's be flexible. It's easier to set a fire with this.

　I put my hand on the sword I carry at my waist as I talk with my part-time brother.

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

　I now have two weapons.

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

　One is the hard-fanged sword I've been using since the Barka uprising.

　The other is the nine-tailed sword that Carlos gave me the other day when we defeated a cavalry general named Keema of the House of Uruk.

　The Nine-Tailed Sword is a magical sword that, like the Ice Spirit Sword of Fontana, produces a sword-shaped flame when it is charged with magic power.

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

　However, since the Ice Spirit Sword was made of ice, which is a mass of ice, it could cut the opponent with the ice that appeared.

　However, this is not the case with the Nine-Tailed Sword.

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

　I don't know how it works, but the sword is just a sword, and flames are just flames, without any material weight.

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

　It was not designed to strike swords against swords, but to slash with flames.

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

　However, when I tried to use it with my own magical power, I was glad that I did not have to face this nine-tailed sword with a sword at first sight.

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

　To tell the truth, I think it is a much stronger weapon than the Hyousei Sword.

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

　The sword-shaped flame that appears when you put magic power into it is different from the ice sword only because it is a mass of heat.

　In other words, if I had been deceived by the shape of the sword and tried to fight with it with a hard fang sword, the opponent's flame would have slipped through the hard fang sword and attacked me.

　In short, the part of the flaming sword that appears by pouring magic power into the nine-tailed sword is an attack that cannot be defended against.

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

　The only way to prevent damage was to keep avoiding the flames.

"It's foul to have such a sword, the Uruks!"

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

"Yes, it is. But I'm sure it's not without its flaws, Brother Bite.

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

"Flaws?　It's stronger than a hard fang sword, no matter how you look at it."

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

"I think hard fang swords are pretty good too. It's a very reliable weapon because of its durability. On the other hand, the nine-tailed sword consumes a lot of magic power. It consumes less fuel than the ice spirit sword. Maybe the disadvantage is that you can't keep the flaming sword out for a long time.

"So, if I have to fight with a sword, I have to avoid it while it's burning and try to run out of magic power. After all, the opponent has the advantage, Ars.

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

"Well, it's a bit of a bad match for a hard fang sword. If I had the Hyousei Sword, I would be able to deal with the flaming sword because of the ice cold air and the difference in reach."

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

"d*mn. I wish I had another magic sword. I wonder if any of the troops over there have nine-tailed swords.　I wonder if I can get some during the night raid."

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

"Don't get greedy, brother Bite. This time we'll approach them after dark and set their camp on fire. That's the goal. Don't get greedy and go too deep.

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

"I know. Hey, Ars, he's completely stopped. We should aim for that area, right?"

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

"...... I guess so. We'll set up when the sun goes down and they're asleep. Let's get some sleep and get some rest.

　We continue to observe as we talk and decide on a strategy for the night attack.

　Once they have set their sights on the target, they take a short distance to rest.

　The other side is burning wood for a hot meal, but we are working in secret and cannot use fire.

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

　After feasting on the salted meat we had brought with us, we waited for the night to fall.

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

　And so, when the sun had completely set and the darkness had spread, we began to move.
