"Oh, my God. There's a lot of stone throwing from Fort Einrad."

"Yes, that's right. But it seems that the Uruk army is also attacking boldly. From the looks of things, I'd say we're still at a stalemate, Master Ars.

"You think so too, Leon? Maybe they're both capable. It seems that both of them are saving their strength.

"Well, what are you going to do now, Mr. Ars? May I ask what you have in mind?

"......I was thinking of going to see Master Carlos when I got to Fort Einrad. But the Uruk army is surrounding the fort, so it is difficult to get close to him. What should we do? ......"

"This is Barka Graham's army, which is less than 1,000. It would be dangerous to break through the Uruk encirclement and enter Fort Einrad."

"Then the only thing left to do is to attack from outside the encirclement, Rion. We'll attack from outside the encirclement, Rion.

"Not bad, but I would like to propose something else, Mr. Ars.

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

"What?　What do you have in mind, Leon?"

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

"We will lure the Uruk armies to their deaths. Like the last time Master Ars defeated the Uruk army."

"...... You don't think I'm going to let you trap me in a night raid again, Leon. The actuality is that they're not so thoughtless that they'll be caught in a trap they've already fallen into once before. We've just defeated Arbalest's army and we're going to risk our lives if we die here.

　By now we had reached Fort Einrad, and I was riding ahead on the road in my Valkyrie.

　Scouting.

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

　I wanted to see for myself what the situation was like at Fort Einrad with Carlos.

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

　And Rion came along with me.

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

　I was talking with Rion while looking at Fort Einrad through binoculars from a distance.

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

　It seems that the Uruk army has encircled Fort Einrad and is mounting a siege.

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

　But the fort Einrad, which I have renovated, will not be so easily breached.

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

　After all, it's surrounded by the Wall of Atmos.

　However, this also meant that the Fontana forces led by Carlos could not attack.

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

　The Fontana was originally on the defensive in a two-pronged strategy, being attacked from the east and the west, which forced the Fontana to divide its forces.

　They could defend themselves in the fortress, but they could not win the war.

　We were in such a stalemate.

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

　So, Rion and I discussed how our forces could make a move.

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

　However, in contrast to my reluctant but sure plan, Rion recommended a rather risky strategy.

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

　Why take the risk?

"Listen, Mr. Ars. Oddly enough, this time the same situation is recurring as last time. I still think we should try to fish the Uruk army out to where the trap awaits. No, it is now or never.

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

"What do you mean, Leon? Is the situation reconstructed?"

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

"Yes. Yes. The reason for the success of the last night raid against the Uruk army.

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

"I said why. I can only think of a few reasons, such as a well-prepared trap and the Valkyrie being useful. ......"

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

"I think that was a factor in our success. But the most important factor was that Master Ars showed them something that the Uruk family could not overlook.

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

"...... Well, the Nine-Tailed Sword. It is true that the Uruk knights saw the nine-tailed sword and came after us unawares, isn't it?"

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

"That's right. At that place, they had the option of not chasing us when we prevented a night attack and just maintaining a vigilant attitude. However, they were successfully lured by the bait of the nine-tailed sword. The trap was effective, but the biggest cause of defeat for the Uruks was that they were lured by the nine-tailed sword.

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

"In other words, you're going to show off the Nine-Tailed Sword to draw them out this time, too. Do you think it will work that well?

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

No, the nine-tailed sword alone will not guarantee that you will catch the same fish the next time. But this time we have an even better bait.

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

"Better bait?　Is there such a thing, Leon?"

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

Yes, Mr. Ars. The sight of Master Ars will surely be a tempting prey for the Uruk army.

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

"Excuse me, Leon. Are you thinking of using me as bait?

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

"I am sorry, Master Ars. I did not phrase it properly. But it is true that Master Ars attracts the Uruk army.

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

"I don't mind. I just wish Kyle and Leon would take better care of me. But how can I be the bait?

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

"Think about it. Think about the purpose of the Uruk army. They have made secret contact with the House of Arbalest in the west and have carried out a campaign of pincer attacks from the east and west."

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

"Right. So?"

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

But that plan has now failed. The Arbalest family on the other side has been defeated. And the word has already spread. It is impossible that the Uruk army is completely unaware of this information.

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

"Right. Maybe it's impossible that they don't know that Arbalest has been defeated. Even the villagers knew that before they came here.

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

"That's right. But the Uruk army is still here, even though the campaign has failed. Despite the fact that we had the luxury of advancing our troops without haste. Why do you think that is?"

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

"Maybe they were waiting for ...... us to come, or something?"

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

"Yes, it is. To be more precise, I would say that you are looking for Mr. Ars. Ars von Barka, our old enemy, defeated the son of the leader of the House of Uruk and his cavalry in the battle for the Hill of Einrad a year ago, and rendered the Uruk reinforcements incapable of continuing their campaign overnight. The head of the House of Valka, Lord Ars, defeated the House of Arbalest and headed east. Under these circumstances, why do we still dare to wait? It can be no other reason than that he is aiming for Master Ars' head.

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

"Seriously. Is there someone in this world who wants my head? It's too dangerous. ......"

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

"So how do you think they would react if Master Ars appeared holding a nine-tailed sword?"

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

"...... I think they're really going to come after us. It's more of a priority than the siege of Aynrad."

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

"That's right. That is, this is the reason why Mr. Ars is the best bait. The first time. The first time is the only time the Uruk army can be fished out. That is where we have a chance to win.

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

"I see. You're talking about setting a trap because you know without a doubt what your opponent's next move will be. Okay, okay. I'll play the big part of the bait, Leon.

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

"Thank you, Mr. Ars. Then let's get started on the preparations.

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

　Leon is not wrong.

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

　But I am still afraid to expose myself to someone who hates me so much and is waiting for me.

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

　But I will have to do it.

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

　Even if I escape, without Carlos as my guarantor, I will be in trouble one day anyway.

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

　So, I have to take it as a good thing that I have a chance here.

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

　Thus, I decided to set up another trap against the Uruk army.
