"Are you safe, Mr. Ars?　What happened to the Atmos warriors who went after them?"

"Leon. We're okay. We got him with the second trap just like we wanted. I'm impressed you were able to stay calm and take command in that situation. Thank you."

No, I can only do so much.

"Don't be modest. We don't have many people who can organize the troops. You did a good job with the new recruits. And what did you do with the Uruk knights who were caught in the trap at the narrow passage?

"Yes. It seems that the damage from the stone throwing was still heavy. Some of them were able to move, but as a unit they were devastated. However, an infantry unit soon came from the rear, so we hit them with the remaining projectiles and retreated so as not to cause any damage.

"Nice work, Leon. You did a good job."

"Hey, Ars. We killed the Uruk knights and the giants. Can we attack the enemy again now?

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

"Well, no, I don't think that's a good idea. The knights who were there chased us, but they are not all the knights of the Uruk army, and their numbers are too different for the whole army. It's dangerous."

"But, Master Ars, I think we need to see what the Uruk army will do in the future. It is doubtful that they will march on with so many knights damaged. They may possibly retreat.

"If they retreat, should we give chase?"

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

"Yes."

"Okay. My brother Bite, I want you to gather your cavalry and scout the Uruk army. Leon, you go with him. You may take the Horned Men with you. But do not overreach. If they move to retreat, you may pursue them, but do not pursue them too far. Understood?"

"Oh, leave it to me, Ars."

Don't really go in too deep. Leon will keep an eye on you.

What are you going to do, Mr. Ars?

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

"I'm going to take my infantry and leave. I want to report to Vargas and the others at Fort Einrad that we have defeated the Warriors of Atmos.

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

"Yes, sir."

　Thus, I succeeded in defeating the giants as I had originally intended, and decided to return to Fort Einrad.

"Then you definitely killed the Titan, didn't you?"

"Yes, I know, but is there something on your mind, Mr. Peacha?"

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

"Of course. As is often the case when dealing with knights, unless you are sure of a kill, it is quite likely that you will meet them again on the battlefield."

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

"...... What do you mean?"

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

"It means exactly what it says: a knight who is wounded on the battlefield will be healed as soon as he is healed by restorative magic in the church. It is quite common that you will have to face them again on the battlefield unless you are sure of killing them,...... you didn't know that."

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

"Does this mean that the Uruk knights who caused damage in the trap at the bottleneck will soon return?　If that's the case, my brother Bite and Leon might be in danger."

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

"No, not necessarily. Basically, those who can use restoration magic are those who are bishops or higher in the church, and such people are not likely to go to the battlefield. So, if on the contrary, they decided to let the knights recover, I am sure that the Uruk army would retreat."

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

"I see. ....... So when you want to make them retreat, is it better to half-kill them instead of killing them unnecessarily?"

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

"You are a scary man, aren't you?"

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

"Ha-ha, but I forgot all about recovery magic. I had never been on the battlefield before, so I may have been careless about that. Thanks for your advice."

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

"No, this is nothing. But it's hard to believe how these giants fight from what I've heard. Was he really that strong?

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

"Yes, even I couldn't believe how strong the warrior of Atmos was when I fought him. Can you beat him, Mr. Picha?

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

"I don't think so. I think that only Carlos is capable of fighting such a thing in the Fontana territory."

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

"...... you think Master Carlos can beat that giant?"

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

"To be honest, I don't know if we can win or not just by listening to what they have to say. But I think we can fight. As the head of the family, I am sure that Carlos can use magic of a higher rank that we cannot use.

　I see.

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

　The giant who was so strong seems to be of the class of a nobleman who rules a territory.

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

　In these days, it is not just a matter of the greater number of men winning the battle, but the strength of an individual can have a great impact on the outcome of a battle.

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

　This is simply because those who possess great magical power increase their personal fighting ability due to the benefit of the magic pass.

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

　However, there is also another factor that is related to the rise in rank.

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

　The reason for this is that the head of the house may be able to use magic that consumes magic power that even knights, who have far more magic power than ordinary soldiers, are unable to use.

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

　The heads of noble families can use magic that can have a great impact on the war, though not as great as the royal magic that once could destroy a whole city with a single use of magic.

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

　That is why even the most powerful knights are under the command of the nobles.

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

　And Picha says that the warriors of Atmos are of a similar caliber.

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

"But then, some of them are too powerful. ....... To be honest, we don't need that many peasant soldiers. ......

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

"Not really. No matter how strong the head of an aristocratic family like Carlos is, it is only an individual's power. For example, even if we take this Ainrad, it may be taken again if Carlos-sama is not here while we are on our way to capture the northern city. There will always be a need for soldiers and commanders to protect each place.

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

"Oh, I see. No matter how strong one person is, when you consider the whole territory, you need more than just that person. After all, at the very least, it is strategically important to have the right number of people. ......

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

　But is Carlos' guy that strong?

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

　Picha has no doubt that he is at the level of that giant.

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

　How can he affect the war situation by himself?

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

　I had been taking it easy because of the use of [wall construction], but now that I've seen a warrior like Atmos, I can't be optimistic.

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

　At the very least, the wall might need to be a little higher.

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

　Once again, I realized that it was time for me to think about the future.
