"Spread out. Throw Molotov cocktails."

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

　Something huge attacked with a booming sound.

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

　I saw it and immediately gave the order.

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

　The cavalrymen, who had been running as a single mass, split to the left and right and threw Molotov cocktails from their hands.

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

　But it doesn't seem to have much effect.

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

　The Molotov cocktails, which were originally prepared to burn food and tents, were primitive devices for spreading oil to increase fire circulation, and were not designed to spread quickly.

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

　Besides, oil is quite precious and there are not many of them.

　It was quickly moved and little damage could be done by fire.

"What the hell, really. They're alive, aren't they?　A giant?"

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

　I stare at the hostile who has escaped the Molotov cocktail attack.

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

　It is definitely humanoid in shape, but not in size.

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

　It is probably 4 to 5 meters in height.

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

　I wondered if it might be some kind of magical weapon, like a golem.

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

　However, the fire spread by the Molotov cocktails, which brightens the surroundings, negates this idea.

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

　It was a man-sized creature.

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

　It seemed to have hair on its head and skin like a human being.

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

　The more one looks at it, the more it looks like a person except for its size, and it does not look like a golem.

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

　The giant was holding a thick log in its hand.

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

　It probably attacked us with it.

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

　He was wielding it like a club, a log of such length and thickness that it would be impossible for a normal person to lift it.

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

　However, we cannot make fun of it just because it is a log.

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

　Perhaps because of their huge size, they seem to have extraordinary strength, and when the logs they swing hit nearby tents and fences, they blow them away.

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

　If a man or a Valkyrie were to be hit by one of these logs, they would not survive.

"Hey, Ars! What are you going to do?　The foxes are gathering. If we don't do something, we'll be surrounded."

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

　As I observe the giant, my brother Bite comes up to me and tells me what's going on around me.

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

　It seems that the knights of the House of Uruk have also gathered here, using magic.

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

　With that, I took another look at my surroundings.

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

"Are there any other giants? ....... Okay, brother Bite, we're retreating!"

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

"Hey, are you sure?　We haven't even gotten any results yet."

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

"I don't care. I don't care. It's better to be surrounded by Valkyries than to be surrounded by Valkyries. There are too many of them. Let's pull back.

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

"Oh, well... Let's all fall back. Throw the remaining bottles as you see fit.

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

　The night raid was a complete failure.

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

　But let's consider it a success.

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

　The magic of the Uruk family's bestiality is a high level of perimeter alertness.

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

　And that there are mysterious giants among them.

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

　I think it's a positive thing that we learned this before the battle.

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

　I decide so, and immediately run away from the enemy camp like a gale.

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

　I was so happy to see him.

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

"I've been thinking, what's with the giant?　Do some nobles have the magic to turn into giants?　Do you know anything about it, Leon?"

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

"...... A giant. I hate to say this, but were there really people that big?　I have never heard of any magic that could make a person grow to a giant size."

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

"I agree with Mr. Lyon. I don't think there was any magic that other nobles had that could be applied to giants."

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

"Well, if neither Rion nor Peacha know about it, then it's not magic, is it?　Maybe there are people who are born that big, like the Titans."

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

"Ars, that's not possible. You were with me watching the Uruk camp with binoculars! There was definitely no one that big at that time.

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

"Yes, yes, brother Bite. I'd be crazy not to notice something like that. So I guess it's more likely that he's just an ordinary guy who got bigger by using magic.

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

　After the failed night raid, I was soon back at Fort Einrad.

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

　It would have been possible to make another raid from a distance and in time.

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

　I thought about repeating the raid as if I were harassing them like a guerrilla.

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

　But I decided against it and chose to return in a straight line.

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

　It was still because of the mysterious giant.

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

　I was curious about what that giant was, but I was also curious about who he belonged to.

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

　According to the information I had received from Carlos and Leon about the Uruk family, I had never heard of the existence of such a thing as a giant.

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

　If so, I wondered if another noble family might have intervened.

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

　If so, it may not be a battle between the Fontana and Uruk families alone.

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

　If possible, I would ask Carlos for instructions.

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

　But neither Leon nor Picha, who know more about the magic of other families than I do, have even heard of the giants.

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

　However, as my brother Byte says, there is a strong possibility that the giants have been magically enlarged.

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

　What does this mean?

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

"It is probably a warrior of Atmos..."

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

"Gran?　Do you know something?"

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

The giant must be a warrior of Atmos. I am sure of it, that I am sure of it.

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

"Wait a minute, Mr. Gran. I've never heard of a nobleman named Atmos.

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

"Lord Lyon, the warriors of Atmos are not nobles, that they are not. They are mercenaries who think that working as mercenaries on the battlefields here and there is their life's purpose and pride, that they are not.

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

"I didn't know there were such people. But, Gran. They don't seem to have heard of them."

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

That may be so. The warriors of Atmos are not from this land, that they are not. They live further east than here, that they do.

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

"East?　I have heard that to the east of the Uruks there are great snow-capped mountains that no man can cross. Is it true?

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

It is true, that it is true, Mister Ars. Have we not talked about this before, that we have? That I am also from the East?

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

　Come to think of it, I remember the first time I met Gran, who spoke differently from others, I asked him if he was from the East.

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

　But when you think about it, there is only the House of Uruk in the east of the Fontana territory, and further east there is a high mountain that is said to reach to the heavens, so normally the House of Uruk would be the one you would think of if you were from the east.

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

　But Gran was not from the House of Uruk.

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

　This area is a land guarded by natural hazards and has been ruled by the royal family since the first king established the country.

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

　But there are other lands out there.

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

　A world outside of which there is little interaction.

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

　Maybe Gran is from there.

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

　And only Gran has information about the Titans.

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

　Does this mean that the mysterious giant is also a magician from the outside world?

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

　Surprised by the sudden revelation, I decided to ask Gran about the giants.
