"Pry open the fence. Follow me."

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

　Riding the Valkyrie at full speed, I give the order and point my right hand toward the enemy camp.

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

　The Uruk encampment is surrounded by a wooden fence.

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

　I fire my ice spear at a part of the fence, knock it down, and charge into the encampment from there.

Stop! Don't let the enemy cavalry in!

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

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

　As we try to break through the fence surrounding our position, Uruk soldiers gather to try to stop us.

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

　I swatted them away with the weapon in my hand.

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

　This time I have a spear.

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

　It is a kind of spear called a lance, with a hardened brick in the shape of a sharp-tipped triangular pyramid at the end of the stick.

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

　When I fought against Fontana's army led by Raymond in the past, I used a spear like an ordinary stick when I rode, but this spear is a slight modification of it.

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

　The tip of the spear is quite sharp and pointed, so it is probably most effective when it is pierced.

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

　With a bang, the Uruk soldiers are blown away, and my Valkyrie runs through them.

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

　My brother Bite and the other cavalrymen followed him.

"We're going after their food! Get the Molotov cocktails ready.

　After crossing the fence, I said to them as we advanced toward the pantry.

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

　But the direction in which I drive the Valkyrie is where the Titan is supposed to be.

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

　I really want to get to the pantry if possible, but my primary goal is to get rid of the Atmos warriors.

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

　I want them to come out as soon as possible.

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

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"

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

"Oh, there you are. Here come the giants, Ars.

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

"Oh, yeah, right, brother Bite. Be on your guard.

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

　Just as I was thinking, "Hurry up and get out here," I heard that huge, stupid roar.

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

　The next moment, a huge figure appears where it had not been before.

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

　A humanoid figure about 5 meters high.

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

　The warrior of Atmos had appeared to intercept our attack.

"Titans are naked. ....... It's surprisingly inconvenient to get big, isn't it?"

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

"I don't have time for this. Here it comes, Ars.

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

　As we advanced toward the giant that had appeared, we got a good look at it.

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

　Last time I was surprised by its sudden appearance and did not pay much attention to it, but this time I knew of its presence in advance, and moreover, the Uruk camp was brightly lit.

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

　It seems that the Uruk soldiers had been alerted by the guards and had used their [illumination] magic.

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

　Thanks to this, we can see each other clearly.

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

　So I had a chance to get a better look at the giants, and to my surprise, they were naked.

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

　Or perhaps that is not quite accurate.

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

　The crotch part was hidden like a waistcoat, but the upper half of his body was definitely naked.

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

　I wonder if the magic that makes him grow to a huge size would cause his clothes to be torn.

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

　It was said that he was going around the battlefield like Vargas with his whole body defense raised, or maybe he was forced to do so due to the lack of armor he could wear.

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

"Bite brother, attack, let's go!"

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

　Even as I was thinking this, I was observing the movements of the Titans.

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

　Apparently, the Titans really don't have proper equipment.

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

　This time, too, he was holding a log in his hand.

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

　I wonder if they have any special equipment.

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

　But I'm glad to hear that they don't have any equipment.

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

　We decided to attack them once, even though it was risky.

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

　It's not that I don't trust Gran, but I need to see if he really has that much defense.

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

　With a boom, the giant swings the log around.

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

　The wind is so strong that the running Valkyrie's posture is momentarily shaken.

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

　It seems that even a log is powerful enough to kill Valkyrie with a single blow if it hits her seriously.

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

　I continue to ride, clutching the reins, my feet in the stirrups, trying not to be swept off my feet.

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

　I concentrate the magic power in my eyes, watch the opponent's movement slowly, and find the range where the attack cannot hit, then I fire my attack from the outside of the range.

Ice Spear

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

　He fired an ice spear from his right hand while circling slightly around the log-wielding giant.

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

　A pillar of ice the thickness and length of an adult man's arm shot out from my right hand and struck the giant.

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

　The cavalrymen who had been following behind me also fired magic from their right hands, as if to follow my ice spear.

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

　With a thud, thud, thud sound, the [ice spear] rushes toward the Titan.

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

　The attack was like a rapid-fire machine gun attack.

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

"Did you get it?"

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

"Hey, brother Bite, that's a bad flag."

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

　The situation was not immediately clear due to the tremendous number of magic shots being fired against the giants, as well as the cloud of dust caused by the movement of the Valkyries.

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

　We attacked as we passed by the giants and turned around to look at the point where we had passed.

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

　But after the cloud of smoke cleared away, there was still the standing figure of the giant.

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

"I wonder if this one is even harder than Gran said.　It's impossible for an ice spear to hit that many people and not do any damage, right?"

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

"Hey, Ars. Try the other side."

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

"All right, brother Bite. If the next attack doesn't work, we'll stick to the plan."

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

　The Titan is still in good shape even after being hit by an unusual number of [ice spears].

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

　I had thought that even at 5m tall, the size of an ice spear might be able to do some damage, but it doesn't seem to be working at all.

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

　Maybe he had increased his defense by increasing his magical power at the moment of receiving the attack?

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

　If we try the same attack over and over again, the damage might be done.

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

　But it is impossible to continue such a time-consuming attack in the enemy's position.

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

　So I decided to try one more attack that could do some damage.

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

　I switch the weapon in my hand.

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

　I change my grip from the hardened brick spear to the nine-tailed sword, a magical weapon.

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

"Infusion of magic power".

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

　Pour magic power into the nine-tailed sword.

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

　The magic power generated from my body is sent into the nine-tailed sword, and the flaming sword is formed from that magic power.

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

　Only the longsword is extended, and bright red flames are shooting out.

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

　Just as the Valkyrie runs past the Titan with the flaming sword out, I swing the sword sideways.

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

"Gwghh!"

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

"uch."

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

　Attack by the Nine-Tailed Sword.

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

　Unlike the [Ice Spear], it seems to have dealt some damage to the Titans.

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

　However, it is not so much damage.

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

　The flaming sword on the Titan's arm burned its skin with a sizzling sound, but it seems that only the part of the arm that was hit was slightly burned.

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

　The wound might have been only a small burn, considering his huge body.

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

　Perhaps because of this, the Titan ignored the wound and counterattacked.

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

　He tried to hit me by swinging a log at me even though he was hit by a flaming sword.

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

　I was lucky that I had gathered magic in my eyes.

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

　I just barely managed to avoid it by bending my upper body over the Valkyrie.

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

　However, it seems that it was impossible to avoid it completely.

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

　A log lightly grazed my left shoulder.

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

　But that was all I needed to raise my left arm.

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

"Ah, that's the treasure of Uruk, the Nine-Tailed Sword!　Second only to the whole army. Get the Nine-Tailed Sword back from them at all costs!

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

　I managed to shield my injured shoulder and continued riding, and I heard the voice of what sounded like an Uruk knight in my ear.

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

　It seems that he saw the flaming sword of the Nine-Tailed Sword that I had used and realized that it had been stolen from me.

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

　They had been surrounding me as I fought with the giants, half watching me, but now they were coming at me to take back the Nine-Tailed Sword.

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

　I don't think we can fight the Titans here any longer.

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

Ars?

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

Somehow. It's not exactly what I had in mind, but it might draw them away. I think we should leave now.

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

Okay. We'll lure them to the right place.

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

　I thought that if I could finish off the giant here, that would be fine, but the attack didn't work at all.

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

　But thanks to the Nine-Tailed Sword, we should be able to pull them out of the camp.

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

　I held my aching left shoulder and began to retreat from the enemy lines with my brother Bite in the lead, watching the Titans chase after us with the Uruk forces.
