"Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Ars."

"Welcome to Xillia, Mister Picha. Was the accommodation you prepared for us sufficient?"

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

Yes, no problem. But you are working fast as usual. I had to come here as soon as I heard that you had taken possession of the house of Xillia right after you left for Xillia."

"It just so happens. The Xillians showed their weakness. They were able to take control."

"Hmm. I've heard the story in the report. But I never thought that the Titan mentioned in that battle would appear again. I'm surprised you're all alive. The Titan must be as strong as the head of the family.

"Yes, it is. Thanatos the Titan is definitely a master of his class, surpassing ordinary knights. But he was still very weak.

"But we were able to bring even the Titan into Fontana's camp. They will surely be a great asset. And what happened to the head of the Xillia family, Harold Wong Xillia?

"Is that what you mean? It seems that Lord Harold has been taken into custody by the head of the House of Uruk. He is being interrogated as a traitor.

"......What do you consider that information?"

"Perhaps Lord Harold went to persuade the leader of the House of Uruk in anticipation of his capture from the beginning. For the survival of the House of Xyria."

　A short time after I arrived in the city of Xylia, Peicha arrived with his army from Fort Einrad.

　Just before that, another knight from Burma, a city north of Einrad, led Fontana's army.

　This probably means that Fontana's forces against the House of Uruk have been assembled.

　Together with the forces of the House of Cicilia, this would make a total of about 4,500.

　Finally, we have a short chat with Picha, who has arrived at the end of the meeting, and exchange information.

　Harold, the head of the Xylia family, seems to have failed to persuade the leader of the Xylia family.

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

　However, I think that the failure was probably within the expected range.

　Harold Wong Xillia may have acted with the top priority of connecting the future of the Xillia family.

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

　The rumor that he was connected to Fontana through disinformation has definitely diminished his position, although I do not know to what extent.

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

　Therefore, he set his goal to preserve the Xillia family, not his position or his life.

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

　In a sense, he has come to his senses and has indeed contacted Fontana.

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

　He sent a request to rescue Xylia and asked Fontana to dispatch an army.

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

　However, if the Fontana army is defeated by the Uruks, the Xillia family will indeed be regarded as traitors and their whole clan will be slaughtered.

　That is why I have taken out an insurance policy.

　It was only after Valka was dispatched from Fontana and arrived in the city of Xylia that he offered to persuade the head of the family that he could not abandon his loyalty to the House of Uruk.

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

　With this offer, he left Xyria and went to the head of the family.

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

　And it probably did not matter whether he succeeded or failed in his persuasion.

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

　Whether they succeeded or failed, the important thing is that there is a possibility that the House of Xillia will continue to exist regardless of who wins.

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

　If the House of Uruk wins, they will be called the knights who did not abandon their loyalty to the Uruks until the end.

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

　The important thing then was the successor of the House of Xillia.

　The Xylians are the nobles who rule the second city of the House of Uruk, and they have several children of Harold.

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

　And there are children other than Wagner who are living in the capital of Uruk apart from their father Harold.

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

　Even if the Uruks win, they may recognize the last loyalty of the father Harold and allow his children to continue as heirs of the House of Xillia.

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

　The territory may be lost, but the blood of the Xillia family will remain even if the Uruks win against the Fontana.

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

　In short, Harold's purpose is to act in such a way that the Xillia family will have a future regardless of who wins.

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

　He would leave Harold's children in the care of both sides and keep himself in custody.

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

　Then, we can move in the name of freeing Harold's custody.

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

　Soon enough, the two camps will clash and decide who wins.

"Is that really so?　If that were the case, I don't think the giants would have attacked the Barca army. ......"

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

"Maybe Lord Harold really did not know about the raid and it was the sole decision of some knights. It would be easier to explain his situation. Well, I don't know what is really going on.

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

"Hmm. As a farmer-turned-knight, I would have thought of resisting fate by my own strength until the end, but I guess you could say that putting home first is typical of a knight family with a long history. So, when is this Harold-dono going to pick you up?"

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

"The soldiers that Mister Peacha has brought with him need to rest a little. Let them rest for a few days before going into battle. The Uruks have been very active in the army since we took Lord Harold into custody.

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

"Okay. Let's get ready. If the Uruks are going to be there, will the decisive battle be fought on the Myriad Plains?"

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

"Yes. The Myriad Plains between Cicilia and the Uruk capital. There we will settle the matter with the Uruks.

　A messenger has already been sent to the city to request the release of Harold, who is being held in captivity.

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

　But the Uruks have refused.

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

　Our reconnaissance reports their strength to be about 5,000 men.

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

　A decisive battle between armies of roughly equal numbers.

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

　It would be a battle between the Uruks and Fontana.

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

　And so, as planned, a few days later, Barka and the Fontana army left the city of Xylia for the plain of Myrias.
