"Attention all forces of Barca Graham! I order you to cease your resistance and surrender. I will spare your lives if you do so now."

　The Uruk forces are surrounding our position.

　A man from the Uruk army comes forward and shouts.

　It seems that he is speaking with magic power in his voice, and his speech is clear and heavy.

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

　Come to think of it, I haven't heard such a preface before a battle since the time I fought Raymond.

　Although there were several battles after that, most of them were assaults using Valkyrie's mobility, so it had been a long time since he made such a preface.

　As I was thinking like this while looking at my opponent from the top of the tower in the middle of the camp, more words were thrown at me.

We, the Uruk army, have come to liberate the inhabitants of Einrad. It is already well known that Einrad belongs to the House of Uruk, and many have moved here from the Uruk lands. The selfish Fontana have taken it away from them with their blood. Many of our Uruk brethren are now in danger. It is to save them that we Uruks have risen. The worst offender of them all is Ars von Barka, the leader of Barka there. Ashamed of his deeds, he will hang himself with honor.

　Hey, hey, hey! You're talking nonsense!

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

　Why should I be ashamed of my own actions?

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

　I mean, is that really a reason to fight?

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

　It's not a matter of hard feelings.

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

　But this pretext can't be ignored no matter what the other side has to say.

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

　It is an act that has a meaning for your own army as well as for the morale of the other side by pointing out the faults of the other side.

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

　We are doing the right thing.

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

　Therefore, there is nothing wrong in pointing weapons at them.

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

　By making them think so, we can make the battle more favorable.

　So I couldn't just stand there in silence.

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

　I took a deep breath and concentrated the magic power in my body to the vocal cords in my throat.

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

　Then I let out the air from my body and put the magic power on the tremor of the air that the vocal cords had converted into the meaningful sound of voice, and I spoke from the top of the tower as if to strike the other person with it.

"I tell the soldiers of Uruk. Put down your weapons and leave now. No one welcomes you here in Einrad. When the Uruks occupied these lands unjustly, these lands were poor despite their strategic location. And now? Thanks to our rule, the fields are expanding and the wheat is plentiful. They are happy to give the harvest to the Fontana. They are all grateful for the return of the ruler from the House of Uruk to the House of Fontana. It would do more harm than good for the House of Uruk to set foot in this land.

　I spewed out whatever came to my mind at random, and as soon as I had finished, he thrust his right hand up in the air, clenching it.

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

　As if on cue, the part-timers and other soldiers on my side shouted "Yes, yes," in agreement.

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

　It was as if this was the consensus of the people living in this area.

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

　Well, it is not a complete lie since there are actually people from this area in the army of Barka, even if only some of them.

　After listening to the gabble for a few moments, he quickly withdrew his hand to calm them down before moving on to his next statement.

"And there are many strange things about what the Uruks say. They talk about freeing Einrad, but in fact they are not. They started this war by secretly collaborating with the Arbalests in the west to take Fontana. Yes, it means that the Uruks are not interested in the safety of the people living in Einrad, but in their own self-interest. The uruks have only wanted to lay waste to this fruitful Einrad, and to take Fontana. Who would trust an Uruk who speaks only out of his own mouth? You should be ashamed of your own actions. Don't you all agree?

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

　He talks and talks and talks from the top of the tower, urging people to agree with him.

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

　The other person would argue with what I said, and I would argue with him or her.

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

　To tell the truth, it was nothing but a water fight, but even so, I don't think it hurt our morale.

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

　Even though we were surrounded by many times as many people as they were, everyone had a strong will to fight.

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

　It must have been a good performance.

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

"Very well. Then I will defeat you by force. Prepare yourself, Ars von Barka!

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

　The argument that had been going on for some time came to an end.

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

　The Uruk side moves back a little, indicating its intention to attack us.

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

　Then, from behind them, they pulled a rumbling object in front of the Uruk forces.

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

"Is that a stone thrower? And isn't that the one I made?"

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

"It seems so. Maybe he brought it here after using it on the Xillia Road last year and leaving it behind, Mr. Ars."

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

"Did you drag it from there to here?　It's pretty heavy, why did you do that?　Why don't you just cut down some trees and make your own pitchforks when you get here?"

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

"...... might be a bad idea. All troops, be advised. Be on the lookout for rocks from the Uruks!

　Rion, who was standing next to me, saw the movement of the Uruk forces.

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

　It's true that the projectile attacks are a threat to us as well.

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

　The position we are building now was built to surround in a hurry, so it is not built with the high "Wall of Atmos" but with the magic of "Wall Building" which many of us can use.

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

　Therefore, the stones are thrown over the wall and come down on us.

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

　But more than that, Rion seemed to be in a hurry.

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

"What?　Is that a black ...... flame or ......?"

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

　I understood Leon's impatience when I saw the Uruk's next move.

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

　The pitchfork he had pulled out in front of the encircling army did not hold several bricks as I usually do, but only one reasonably large rock.

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

　Perhaps he is going to send that rock towards us.

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

　But the commander of the Uruk army, who had been talking to the rock, approached it and activated his magic.

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

　Perhaps it was Pessi, the next head of the House of Uruk, who was said to be leading the Uruk army this time.

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

　The man touched the rock on the projectile and invoked the higher magic of the Uruks.

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

　Black Flame.

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

　This is the magic used by the next head of the house of Uruk.

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

　It is a flame created by using a vast amount of magical power, but its color is different from the norm.

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

　It is neither red, nor blue, nor white, but pitch black.

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

　It is said that the magic that produces the dark flame is the fire of hell that will not disappear until it burns up the target.

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

　The black flame ignites a rock set on the projectile.

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

　Then, a large rock with black flames clinging to it was released from a pitchfork and came flying toward our position.

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

"Evade! No, protect the food! Build a wall where the rock lands!"

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

　Burning rocks poured into the camp with a loud thud.

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

　Trouble is, they don't seem to disappear even when water is poured over them.

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

　Moreover, Pesci took turns throwing rocks with a black flame at the rock throwers that he had brought with him.

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

　Thus, the holed-up position of Barka Graham's army was quickly transformed into a steaming kiln with unquenchable flames everywhere.
