"How's it going, are you with me, brother Byte?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. The giants are here. But the Uruk knights are after them too! What are you going to do, Ars?

"Let's keep up the speed we're going. At least the Uruk infantry can't keep up with us. I think we've succeeded in splitting them up."

　We had made a night attack on the Uruk positions late in the night, and we, the Balkans, were fleeing from the enemy lines.

　We thought we might be able to finish off the giants in a night attack, but they were far stronger than we had expected.

　If we couldn't do much damage even with the Nine-Tailed Sword, we couldn't win at least in a one-on-one fight.

　Then, we need to lead them into a trap.

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

　But there is one problem.

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

　There was the presence of the Uruk knights.

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

　I knew there was little chance of success, but I could not pull only the giants out of the Uruk army.

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

　But I did not expect so many Uruk knights to pursue us.

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

　It seems that they noticed that I have the nine-tailed sword.

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

　This nine-tailed sword is very important to the Uruk knights.

　They charge after me with bloodshot eyes, shouting angrily, astride their steeds.

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

　But that's all right.

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

　After all, the knight on his steed and the giant running with large strides are the only ones following us, even though they are running away at a speed that the numerous foot soldiers can't keep up with them.

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

　We could use the objective of trapping them for something other than giants.

"It's about time. Please, Leon!"

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

　The composition of the two groups continued for a while, with the Balkan cavalrymen running away and the Uruk cavalrymen and giants chasing after them.

　When the chase had opened up enough distance between them and the Uruk foot soldiers who had been chasing them from the rear, the desired point came into view.

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

　It was a so-called "narrow passage".

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

　The road was narrow, and both sides of the road were elevated.

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

　Naturally, when a group passes through a narrow aisle, the shape of the group narrows from the front like threading a needle's hole.

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

　The Valkyrie ran through this narrow passage, followed by the Uruk knights and the giants.

"Now! Build the wall!"

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

　A group of Valkyries running at full speed passed by, followed by a group of mounted dragons about to run through the same spot.

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

　At that moment, Rion's voice rang out.

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

　His voice signaled the appearance of a 10-meter-high wall on the narrow road.

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

　After we had passed, Barka's soldiers, who had been deployed after we had passed, jumped out onto the road and used their [wall-building] magic.

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

　The wall is tall, but it is also thick.

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

　It is reliable enough to withstand even a great boar with a reputation for rushing power, as proven in the previous battle against the cavalry of Uruk.

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

　The wall first appeared to block the path of the pursuing Uruks, and later also the rear of the pursuing group.

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

　Now they were completely surrounded front and back by a narrow and narrow road.

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

"Fire!"

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

　The wall that suddenly appeared along the route was completely at the mercy of the pursuers.

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

　Those in the lead crashed into the wall, those who saw it stopped abruptly but were crushed by those coming from behind, and those who stopped well were stuck, unable to grasp the situation.

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

　 The dark surroundings made it even more difficult to grasp the situation.

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

　Then, stones were thrown from both sides of the road.

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

　They were thrown by the stone throwers that I had magically created after I had decided to lure them to this narrow passage and launch an attack.

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

　Since it only reproduced the stone thrower I remembered from my [memory storage], it was an attack weapon that could be improvised at the site of the attack as long as some materials, such as the necessary rope, were provided afterwards.

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

　At first, the projectile thrower was intended as a defensive device, but I decided to use it for the first time in actual combat, thinking that it could be used against an enemy army that had fallen into a trap.

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

　And it is not just stones that are released by the projectiles.

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

　This time, I used harder-than-usual hardened bricks that I had made with materials and catalysts of tusks of a big boar and horns of a Valkyrie.

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

　It will be used to concentrate the fire on the pursuing forces of the Uruks who have lost their way.

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

　The hardened bricks were pouring down like rain, thanks to the large number of projectiles that had been prepared to compensate for the weakness of the slow reloading projectiles.

"How's it going?"

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

"Gaaaahhhh!"

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

"...... seriously. You can't hit a hardened brick with that much force and not get it done?"

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

　The traps I'd set were definitely paying off.

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

　The Uruk knights on their steeds could not have prevented this attack.

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

　The magic of being transformed into a fox is powerful enough to detect a surprise attack and to use fire magic, but it was not suitable to prevent a rain of hardened bricks with physical destructive power.

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

　Numerous dragons and knights are lying prostrate on the narrow and narrow road with no escape.

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

　But not the giant that stands out among them.

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

　It seems to be still alive and moving, though scarred by the hardened bricks blown by the stone thrower.

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

"No way! A 10-meter wall is not much of an obstacle for him?"

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

　And then I was shown a more shocking scene.

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

　The giant had been stopped by the sudden appearance of the wall, but he had climbed over the wall by putting his hand on the top of the wall.

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

　Even though the wall was twice as high as he was, he pulled himself up with his hands, stretched out his legs, and hooked his legs onto the top of the wall, lifting his entire body.

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

　Then the giant, who had climbed to the top of the wall, looked around.

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

"Oh no, Rion and the others might be targeted. ....... Hey, over here, big guy!"

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

　From the Titan standing on top of the wall, the Balkan soldiers, including Leon, who were stationed on both sides of the narrow road, might be attacked.

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

　I quickly raised the nine-tailed sword in my hand above my head and injected it with magic power.

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

　As if with a gurgling sound, a flaming sword appeared from the nine-tailed sword.

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

　The eyes of the giants watching the area caught me.

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

　The sun has not yet risen, and the surroundings are dark.

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

　This flaming sword will stand out in the dark.

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

　More importantly, it is the sword that once cut at me.

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

　Ignoring it would be a difficult choice.

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

　I was right.

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

　The Titan glances at me, ignoring the Balkan soldiers around it, and runs toward me.

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

"Is it wrong that the wall is 10 meters high?"

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

"We don't have time for this now, Ars. Come on, let's get out of here."

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

"I know, Bite-brother. But I guess you could say the trap helped. We were able to leave the Titans alone as we had originally intended."

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

　The trap we prepared could not defeat the Titans.

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

　But we could have dealt a heavy blow to the cavalry of the Uruk knights who were chasing us along with the giant, and we could have slowed down the progress of the infantry that was chasing us.

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

　Then, the battle would be over if we could only manage the stubborn giant.

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

　Thus, the pursuit battle against the Titans entered the second round.
