"Oh, I thought I was going to die."

"Good work, Mr. Ars. I see you have successfully defeated the leader of the House of Arbalest.

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

"Yeah, thanks, Leon. If we had acted as Leon said, we would have really been outnumbered in the main camp where the head of the House of Arbalest is located. I couldn't let that chance pass me by. But I was so scared."

"I couldn't see it clearly from inside the castle, but it sounded great. I think that Arbalest's [distant thunder] was as powerful as they say. We defeated that Arbalest, Mr. Ars.

"Well, as it turns out. But I don't want to be asked to do it again. I don't want to go through that scary stuff again."

　The House of Arbalest in the west came to pincer Fontana territory in coordination with the House of Uruk in the east.

　To intercept the army of the Arbalest, I decided to attack rather than defend.

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

　In reality, however, I had no concrete plan, and the only thing I could come up with was to enter into the Arbalest territory and rampage about as I saw fit.

　However, when Rion heard the direction I had proposed, he came up with a more concrete plan.

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

　First, he read the situation of the Arbalest family.

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

　He thought that there would probably be some of the head of the Fontana family among the 8,000 troops to take out Carlos, the head of the Fontana family.

　We decided that we, the outnumbered Fontana camp, should aim to crush their heads in order to achieve our goal.

　However, if there is a leader in the ranks, even under normal circumstances, we would not be able to win if we were to clash with them.

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

　Then, what should we do?

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

　He would isolate the main camp where the leader of Arbalest is located, and surprise attack the camp and defeat it with a single blow.

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

　This was the plot that Rion had written.

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

　In order to bring about such a development, Rion attacked Palamere, a water fortress which is said to be impregnable, built a castle on the border of his territory to attract the attention of the opponent and make him attack on purpose, and laid out a number of strategic moves to have the cavalry under my command operate outside the castle in advance.

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

　If any one of them failed, the whole plan would be scrapped, leading not only to our defeat but also to the defeat of the Fontana territory.

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

　But as it turns out, everything seems to have turned out just as Rion had envisioned.

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

　I could not have done it alone.

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

　But you know what?

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

　There was a big hole in Leon's plan.

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

　There was no way to defeat the head of the Arbalest family.

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

　He would isolate the head of the family and lead me there.

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

　So the plan was for me to somehow defeat him.

　Moreover, there is a lightning magic attack against them that I can't even think of a way to defend against, if you ask me.

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

　To put it bluntly, we all thought that we could not win unless we were lucky enough to be attacked unprotected by their main camp without their noticing us cavalrymen.

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

　Well, it worked out in the end.

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

　From my vague knowledge of the principle of making it easier for lightning to strike tall poles like those on top of buildings, based on memories from a previous life, I came up with the idea of using the "Wall of Atmos" as a lightning rod.

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

　If it is 50 meters high, it might be easier for lightning to strike there.

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

　It was just an idea.

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

　In the first place, since it is a magical attack, there is a possibility that the lightning will strike exactly where the opponent is aiming.

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

　But it seems that the Arbalest family's high-level magic [distant thunder], although it has attack power, is not capable of such precise attacks.

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

　It seemed to be aiming roughly, and when I saw it hit the [Wall of Atmos] that the horned Valkyrie had magically created as it ran away from the running cavalry, I was glad that my luck had not run out.

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

　It was an ad hoc response that could not even be verified beforehand, but it worked, and we succeeded in assaulting the main camp.

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

"However, the timing of the cavalry assault by Ars-sama was brilliant. It must have been difficult for them to respond to such a perfectly timed attack.

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

"Thanks Billy. Thanks to him we were able to get in touch with Leon and the others at the castle.

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

　Then I look at the bird perched on my shoulder.

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

　It is not a very big bird.

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

　But this was no ordinary bird.

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

　It is a true messenger, hatched from the egg of the messenger that Billy is studying.

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

　Research to create a "spawner" that can produce the eggs of a mastodactyl.

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

　This research had not yet borne fruit.

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

　We have not yet succeeded in creating even a hexenbiest type.

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

　However, there are some fast-running conjugated beasts that are not magical beasts, and they are used on the racecourse.

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

　Among them, this one was one of the useless beasts that could not even be used in the race.

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

　He is just a bird with no magic.

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

　Even after hatching and growing up, it did not get bigger.

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

　But it was definitely different from ordinary birds.

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

　It was because it was a messenger beast.

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

　The new castle we built between the rivers.

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

　Rion, who is holed up here, sent me a letter using this bird beast.

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

　When the army of Arbalest had concentrated most of its forces in this new castle, a bird came to me with a paper tied to it telling me to "return" as I was marching westward through Arbalest territory.

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

　So I stopped moving westward and came back in a hurry, and then I received a letter from Leon again.

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

　The bird handed me a piece of paper with the word "Opportunity" written on it just as the Arbalest army attacked the new castle in a general attack and their main camp was thinned out.

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

　The bird seems to have recognized my scent.

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

　Or rather, it seems that Rion had ordered it to follow this scent after it smelled the clothes I had left behind.

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

　To tell the truth, I wonder if this is more convenient than a pigeon.

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

　Thus, I was able to attack the enemy's main camp at the perfect moment by a signal from Rion at a distance.

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

"Hey, Ars, look at this. It's a magic sword! The Lord of Arbalest has it."

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

"Thunderbolt sword, right?　It seems that when you put magic power into it, it shoots an electric shock around you. I'm glad we were able to defeat it before it was used."

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

"I'm sure there are other treasures out there.　Ars, can I go chase down the remnants?"

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

"Okay, but don't go too deep, brother Bite. And watch the perimeter.

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

"Oh, okay. I'll be right back.

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

Be careful.

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

　After charging into the main camp and taking out the head of the Arbalest, I immediately had my victory cry raised, and then attacked the enemy forces attacking the castle.

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

　They would have normally pinched Fontana's territory, and they probably did not expect to be pinched by us at a place like this.

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

　Although they outnumbered us, the situation of having the head of the army killed and not being able to move by the river put them completely on the back foot.

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

　This seemed to cause many times more damage to the other side than to us, and we succeeded in defeating them in a heap.

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

　That is why we can afford to talk with Leon who was in the castle like this and give instructions to his brother Byte.

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

"Well, at any rate, we can breathe a sigh of relief now.

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

"What are you talking about? We're not finished yet, Mr. Ars.

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

"What do you mean, Leon? You killed the head of Arbalest, so you got what you came for, didn't you?

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

No, it's not. This time it is about the unprecedented crisis in the territory of Fontana caused by the attack between the Uruks and the Arbalests. And it has not yet been resolved.

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

"Are you going to fight the Uruks too, Leon? I was ordered by Master Carlos to suppress the invasion of Arbalest ......."

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

"That's right, but if Carlos were to die now, it would be Ars who would be most troubled, wouldn't it?　It was the rampaging of Master Ars in Fontana's territory that created the situation that forced the Uruks and the Arbalests to attack."

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

"...... certainly is in trouble. There are going to be a lot of enemies around."

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

"That's why. The Arbalest family has lost its leader and many men. There should be no further action soon. Let us head east, Master Ars.

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

"All right, Leon. Rust from the inside. I'll atone for my sins at best."

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

　I thought I had risked my life for victory over Arbalest's army, but it seems that this is not the end of the story.

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

　Thus, I began to prepare to move on to the next battlefield.
