"Shit. We can't go on like this, Leon."

"I know, Master Ars. As soon as possible, please gather those who can use the Wall of Atmos."

"What are you going to do?　Sure, it would be best if we could fortify the perimeter with a high wall, but we'll never get there in time, will we?"

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

"It is not necessary to completely surround the area with the Wall of Atmos. We will only reinforce the wall in the direction where the stone throwing is taking place. It doesn't matter if there are gaps. Even if it is spaced just far enough to prevent large rocks, it should be possible to prevent damage even in a comb-like condition."

"I see. A stopgap measure, but not a bad one. Anyway, let's mobilize everyone to protect them.

　Large rocks from projectiles flying one after another.

　To prevent this, we immediately began to deal with them.

　The position we built using [wall construction], which creates a 10-meter-high wall, was not enough to prevent their attacks.

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

　We decided so and started to move immediately.

　We gather those with a large amount of magic power, and at an appropriate distance from each other, we activate [Wall of Atmos].

　Although not very evenly spaced, a fence-like wall 50 meters high and 5 meters wide was formed.

　After I had supervised the work to some extent, I watched as the "Wall of Atmos" prevented the stones from being thrown by the large rocks, and then I moved again within the camp.

　I arrived just as the rock hit the ground.

　The Uruks have made a very nasty attack.

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

　I had been moving around to block the flying rocks, but the rocks were still burning in the camp.

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

　And with the unbelievable sight of black flames!

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

"So this is the higher magic of Uruk [Black Flame]. ....... It's true that it doesn't go out until the object is burned up."

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

　If it had been just an ordinary stone throwing, I would not have been in such a hurry.

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

　However, the fact that it was a large rock affected by magic made it a different story.

　The Uruk family prides itself on its high-level magic, the Black Flame.

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

　I had heard about this magic before, but it was truly terrifying.

　A black flame clings to the object and burns until it consumes it.

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

　The Black Flame is burning large rocks.

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

　The large rock that was hit first is still burning even though its surface is melting into sludge.

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

　However, it seems that the magic of [Black Flame] does not burn everything.

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

　The reason is that the rock is burning, but the black flame itself is not spreading to other objects.

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

　Is it natural if you think about it?

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

　If the black flame burns everything and does not disappear until it is completely consumed, then it will not disappear until it consumes everything it comes in contact with in the natural world.

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

　Such a magic is indeed impossible.

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

　If that were the case, it would have an effect on the Uruk who used it.

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

　But this does not mean that this flame is not dangerous.

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

　It is hot because it is on fire, and it radiates such a high heat that one might burn the lungs of those who inhale the heated air around them just by approaching it.

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

　Even though the black flame does not burn other things, it has the effect of burning other things.

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

　Burned objects catch fire and turn to ashes as usual.

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

　The fact that the black flame does not spread is astonishing enough.

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

　Moreover, the burning rocks also increased the damage.

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

　The black flames have turned the burning rocks into a kind of muddy lava.

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

　But even if water was poured on them, the black flames could not be extinguished.

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

　It is impossible to extinguish the fire properly.

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

"Report the damage in summary. Make sure the food and Valkyries are moved to a safe place. Understood?"

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

　I put my hands on the ground and put my magic into them.

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

　I imagine that I am pouring all the magic I've worked up in my body into the ground.

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

　I imagine a firebrick building completely covering a large rock that has landed inside the camp and is still melting into mush.

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

　A building shaped like a pot placed upside down on the ground is magically created to completely seal the big rock.

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

　This way, at least the lava will not flow out, and hopefully the black flame will be extinguished by the sealed air.

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

　But no one else can perform this instant magic.

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

　I am the only one who can deal with the flying rocks right here and now.

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

　I had him bring me all the magic restoring potions he could find, and we ran around the camp to contain the rocks that were causing damage.

"Leon, we're going to be out of time if we keep going like this. When is Carlos coming?"

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

"......Master Carlos will come. You must be sure of that, Mr. Ars, and take command. Otherwise, our allies will be upset.

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

"But you know, it's already been three days since our position started being attacked.　I think you're going to have to start attacking the encircling Uruk forces from behind to hold them off."

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

　Three days have passed since Barka Graham's army was surrounded and attacked by the Uruk forces.

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

　During that time, they have really resisted to the death.

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

　However, there were quite a few casualties on our side.

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

　Because the attack of the Uruk forces was much more nasty than we expected.

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

　Pessi, the leader of the Uruk forces, attacked us with the upper magic "Black Flame".

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

　This alone was hard enough for us, but then the siege of the Uruk army started.

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

　The encircling Uruk soldiers came running to the walls of the camp with ladders and so on.

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

　They also attacked with bows to support them.

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

　Naturally, we had to deal with them.

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

　We hurriedly climbed up on the wall of the encampment and started to intercept them from above.

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

　However, when the situation continued to some extent, Pesci's [Black Flame] was used again.

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

　It seems that, being a higher level magic, the [Black Flame] can't be used so continuously and so rapidly.

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

　However, the attack of [Black Flame] was occasionally used as if they remembered it after a break.

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

　The burning rocks fly at those who are climbing on the wall to intercept them.

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

　Naturally, we are also damaged.

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

　Then, at the time when we were damaged by the attack of the rocks with the [Black Flame], the main attackers switched to the Uruk soldiers again.

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

　To be honest, we would not have lasted three days if it had not been for the slime pool outside our camp.

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

　But it seems that much of the slime has been burned away.

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

　There is no doubt that we will be outgunned if we continue to defend our position.

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

　We need to find a way out of this situation.

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

　But Carlos, who is supposed to be the one to carry the expectation, has not appeared on the scene at all.

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

　The original plan was for Carlos to attack the Uruk forces from Fort Einrad while we were holding out, and then the Uruk forces would pull back their troops.

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

　Without Carlos, this plan would not work.

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

　Should we wait for Carlos to come out?

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

　Or should we think of some way out and do something while we still have enough strength to move?

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

　We were at a crossroads, in the midst of a desperate crisis.
