I'll report back to you.

What's wrong? What's going on in Paramere?

"Ha. That's ......."

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

"What?　Let's get on with it."

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

Excuse me, sir. We have confirmed that the cavalry of Barca have sailed in torrents from the water fortress of Palamere.

"Well, that's great! Did you hear that, Zedan?　It seems we were able to draw the Barca men out just as you said. So, when do you expect the Barka army to arrive here?"

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

No, no, I'm sorry. It is difficult to predict.

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

What, why?　The speed of movement by their messenger beasts is fast. If we are not prepared and waiting for them, we could be damaged. What do you think this reconnaissance is for?

"I am sorry. I'm sorry, but I don't know how Valka will react. Because the cavalrymen of Barca have left Palamere and are moving further west.

"What?"

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

　A messenger from the scouting party came to report to the master.

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

　The report he delivered was again different from what we had expected.

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

　The cavalry of Barca headed west?

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

　Where is he going?

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

　Or rather, what are they going to do about our detachment that is advancing to invade Fontana territory?

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

"Zedan, what do you mean?　Barca is not going to abandon Fontana. What do you think his intentions are?"

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

"Yes. I think he wants to get our attention first and foremost. It would be a good thing for them if we stop our march to Fontana in order to stop them by advancing our fast cavalry to the west. But this is not a good idea. There are still many soldiers left in Arbalest to protect the various regions. Therefore, I think it would be better for us to target Fontana as we originally intended.

"Hmm. It is possible that there are other soldiers than cavalry left in Palamere. We should still set up our main camp here, and let them search for movement in the direction of Palamere. Then the detachment will continue to advance into Fontana territory. Is this correct, Zedan?"

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

"Yes. The knights of the territories bordering on Arbalest will come out in droves. If we strike them, I think we will have no problem.

"Very well. You heard the man. Continue to be vigilant in your surroundings.

　It's okay.

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

　The situation is so bad that Valka has taken a different course of action than we expected, but that's not a problem.

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

　If anything, moving west from Palamere will bring them more into our territory.

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

　That is to say, you will find yourself in the belly of your opponent.

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

　We will surely be able to catch them and take them out.

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

　Rather, it will die on its own.

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

　It must be that you are a small man who does not know that much.

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

　So we are on the right track.

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

　We will watch the movements of the paramour and advance into Fontana territory.

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

　It's all right, it's all right.

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

　Under the orders of my master, I have sent the knights to continue the operation.

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

　The knights are still in the area of Fontana.

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

"Reporting, sir. The Varca cavalry that left Palamere have already captured two knights' territories. They are advancing westward.

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

"What?　It's only been a few days. They're moving too fast.

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

"Calm down, Zedan. So, Barka is moving further west?

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

"Yes. According to reports, they are advancing toward the house of the fallen knight, setting it on fire. They are probably heading straight for the capital of Arbalest.

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

"Okay. You stay put. And your report says that the detachment is still not moving forward, right?

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

"Ha. The detachment is stranded at a castle along the route, and has not been able to reach Fontana territory.

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

"Zedan, may I ask you a question? Was there a castle in Fontana on the road that the detachment was taking?"

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

No, no. There is no castle there. My handlers testified that there was no such castle when they checked in the spring, my lord.

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

So they must have built it. A new castle. I don't know if it was before or after the attack on Palamere.

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

"No way. It is practically impossible to build a castle in such a short time.

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

"I don't think so, Zedan. Remember what I told you when I first heard the name Barca? They built a castle in just a few days when they fought against Raymond, then Prime Minister of the House of Fontana.

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

"Yes, that's right. Yes, that is true. But I think it was just a widespread exaggeration of his own power. ....... I am sorry, my Lord. I may have misread the power of Barca.

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

"Good. I, for my part, had no idea that a castle had been built. But what now, Zedan? I don't know how far the Barca cavalry will advance while our main force remains on guard at Paramere. Do we retreat, or do we join up with our detachment and attack a new castle in a hurry, and then go after Fontana?"

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

"I think the surest way is to send a messenger to the capital and intercept it with a strong defense, while our main camp joins up with the detachment and attacks the new castle. If it is as reported, the castle is just like a small branch castle, and if we attack it with the main force, the siege will be over quickly.

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

"Yes, that's right. It seems that Barca has soldiers in the new castle as well. Perhaps only cavalrymen are marching westward out of Palamere, while the infantrymen of Barca are holding their position in the new castle. In hindsight, it may be that they could not have so many men standing by in Palamea once it was submerged."

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

"That may be so, my lord. I was wrong in my judgment."

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

"I say good, Zedan. It's just that Barka's power was so unknown. But it is we in Arbalest who will win in the end. Make no mistake about it. Isn't that right?"

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

"Of course, my lord."

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

"All right, then, leaving a minimum number to watch the paramour, the main force will attack the new castle on the border of Fontana territory with a detachment. Knights, now is the time to show our strength.

　Well done, Barca!

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

　No, Ars von Barca.

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

　We can't let this go on.

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

　I must regain the trust I've lost in my master.

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

　I will personally ride to the castle and destroy Valka's men.

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

　I cannot wait to see the look on your face!

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

　With our bloodlust in check, the main body of the Arbalest army marched east toward the Fontana territory.
