　The Fontana and Uruk armies are facing each other in roughly equal numbers.

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

　The location is called the Myriad Plains, on the way from the city of Xillia to the Uruk capital.

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

　Our forces are already in position.

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

　The center army, the right wing army, and the left wing army are in position, and the Balkan army is in the rear of the center army.

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

　The Xillia forces are in front of the center army, the Ayn Radd forces on the right wing, and the Burmese forces on the left wing.

　The movement of the Xylian army is a little uncertain, but at least Wagner was fully motivated.

　Let us hope that he will play an active role in this battle.

　This battle against the Uruks was to be fought without surprise.

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

　Since the Balkans had won most of their victories by surprise, I thought it would be better to do so this time as well.

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

　However, after discussions with Picha and the other knights, the idea of surprise was rejected.

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

　This is because of our strategic goal.

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

　The most important part of our strategy this time is to get Uruk under control as soon as possible.

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

　Carlos' protection of the king is to prevent the Uruks from intervening before the other great nobles take notice of us.

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

　What is needed for this is that the whole Uruk territory must admit defeat to Fontana.

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

　In other words, it is important that the Fontana camp wins against the Uruks and takes possession of the Uruk territory, not by surprise, but by a fair and honest head-on battle.

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

　So the two armies gathered on the plain of Myliad as if to show the time and are now facing each other head on.

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

　The Uruks would rather win a victory on this plain and drive them away than be surprised or have their territory razed to the ground.

　As usual, a preface was made before the battle.

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

　This time, although I was in the central army, another knight was speaking in front of the army.

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

　The knight who has been entrusted with the protection of the northern city of Burma is shouting loudly and enthusiastically.

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

　His speech is informative, but perhaps he has a little difficulty in using words, or perhaps his voice is not enchanted enough to raise his morale.

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

　But it seems that the preliminaries went off without a hitch, the knights who had been in front of the army turned back, and finally the battle on the Myriad Plains began.

　A short time after the knights turned back, both armies began to move.

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

　Our move was simple and clear.

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

　The center army, the right wing army, and the left wing army attacked at once.

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

　It was too simple a maneuver.

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

　If the opponent had a super high performance military strategist, they might fall into the trap and lose.

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

　So I made a plan to prevent that from happening and put it into action.

　Thanatos moves when I say so.

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

　The next moment, a huge humanoid suddenly appears in the midst of the Balkan army.

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

　Thanatos, the warrior of Atmos, has activated his magic.

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

　His body is three times the size of a normal person.

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

　A body with defensive strength backed by magical power that can even block attacks with a magic sword.

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

　And his overwhelming physical strength that even swinging a log around can cause great damage.

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

　The giant that had once tormented the Balkan army had appeared on the battlefield.

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

　But I did not intend to use the Titan's power as it was.

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

　If I let Thanatos charge into the battlefield, that alone would be enough to inflict damage on the Uruk forces.

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

　But they also have the leader of the House of Uruk!

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

　Even Thanatos may be in danger against the leader of the Uruk, who possesses the Black Flame, a magic that can create hellfire that burns the target to the ground.

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

　That is why I decided to let Thanatos make another attack.

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

　The giant Thanatos picks up the spear made of hardened bricks on the ground.

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

　I set the spear on a certain tool.

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

　The tool is called a spear thrower.

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

　He grips the spear thrower by hooking it onto the end of the spear handle.

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

　He then held the spear thrower, not the spear itself, and moved his arm from back to front.

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

　The large spear made of hardened bricks, which I had made for the giant Thanatos, flew through the air.

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

　The use of the spear thrower and the extraordinary power that Thanatos possessed caused the spear to fly at a tremendous speed.

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

　The spear flew over the Xillia forces in front of the Barca forces and headed straight for the Uruk forces.

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

　The giant spear flies at high speed and falls to the ground in a parabolic pattern.

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

　With a tremendous impact sound, the spear is hurled up and away from the people and the earth.

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

　I had expected it to be strong, but I had not expected it to have such a powerful attack.

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

　They had been using a stone thrower before to scatter bricks like shotgun shells, but this was a far more destructive blow than that.

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

　Yes, this was the secret plan I had prepared this time.

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

　An attack method made possible by the existence of Thanatos, a being of rare power.

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

　At the same time, it is also a countermeasure against Uruk's upper level magic [Black Flame], which I saw firsthand last year.

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

　The black flame is too dangerous.

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

　If you are attacked by it, you will probably not survive.

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

　But then I thought that I should not receive the attack.

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

　The Black Flame is a magic originally intended for the master to burn the opponent in front of him.

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

　Pesci used it in the siege.

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

　But the House of Uruk cannot use that method this time.

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

　The Uruks may be able to make stone throwers, but they usually cut down trees near the battlefield and build them.

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

　If a large rock is set on a wooden projectile and a black flame is applied to the rock, the projectile itself will be set on fire by the heat of the fire.

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

　The reason why Pesci was able to use the higher level magic of [Black Flame] in combination with the projectile attack was because of the existence of the projectile made of fire-resistant hardened bricks, which I had made and left unattended.

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

　However, I recovered and disposed of the hardened-brick projectile after defeating Pesci.

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

　As far as I have confirmed, there is nothing like that on the battlefield this time.

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

　In other words, the Uruk side probably does not have a long-range attack method using the Black Flame.

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

　If that is the case, we can proceed the battle safely if we attack from outside the range of the Black Flame.

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

　A long-range heavy-matter attack by Thanatos.

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

　After confirming the effect of the attack, I called out to Thanatos again.

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

　I am now at the top of the magically created tower, looking through binoculars.

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

　I was checking with the binoculars where the spear that Thanatos had thrown had fallen.

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

　And when I saw that the spot was out of aim, I ordered Thanatos to correct the direction of his throw.

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

　Yes, Thanatos can throw more than one spear.

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

　There are several giant spears made of hardened bricks that he had made in advance.

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

　Thanatos picks up one of them and sends it into the air again using the spear thrower.

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

　The spear strikes the Uruk again.

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

<<< It's all right. A little high.

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

　My job on the tower is not to command the troops, but to be an observer, the partner of a sniper named Thanatos.

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

　And as an observer, I have a solid lock on the target.

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

　The Uruk forces are divided into a central army, a right wing army, and a left wing army, as is the case here, but among them there is one who stands out from the rest.

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

　By concentrating the magic power in their eyes, they can actually see the most magic power among the Uruk forces.

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

　A person whose body is so full of magic that it burns like a flame.

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

　There is only one such person in the Uruk army.

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

　That is the leader of the House of Uruk himself.

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

　For the third time, Thanatos attacks with his spear.

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

　This time, it definitely hit the leader of the House of Uruk.

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

　The huge spear flew through the air at high speed and hit him as he was falling down with the force of gravity.

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

　Even the head of the family, who can also defend against attacks with magic swords, could not have prevented this attack.

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

　It seems that I was not mistaken.

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

　It was good until the head of the tower, who was observing with binoculars from the top of the tower, held up his nine-tailed sword to block the huge spear, but of course he could not stop the momentum of the spear, and was crushed by it.

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

　Immediately after that, the spectacle of a great amount of magical power that had existed up to that point disappeared.

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

"We have defeated the leader of the House of Uruk! Brother Bight, attack with your cavalry! Attack and crush them all at once!"

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

　Thus, the battle of the Myriad Plains was to begin soon after the death of the head of the House of Uruk, and the tide of the war shifted sharply in Fontana's favor.
