"I see. The successor died first."

　Battle of the Milias Plain.

　The battle, which ended the longstanding feud between the Uruk and Fontana families, ended in victory for the Fontana side.

　The driving force of this battle was none other than the power of Thanatos, the warrior of Atmos.

　The head of the House of Uruk was killed by Thanatos' spear attack.

　Incidentally, I was a little worried about what would happen after the defeat of the leader of the House of Uruk.

　It is about the successor of the Uruks.

　When a noble or a lord knight marries, he performs an "inheritance ceremony".

　By doing so, they give their children the right to inherit the magic of the noble family and the magical connections of their men.

　The order of succession is determined by the order of birth.

　It is possible for the head of the house to give up the title of head of the house beyond the order of succession during his/her lifetime, but even if it is not possible, the highest-ranking person in the line of succession will automatically take over the title of head of the house upon the death of the current head.

　In other words, after the head of the House of Uruk is killed by Thanatos' spear attack, the title of the head automatically passes to the head's children.

　If so, a being who can use the vicious higher magic called [Black Flame] would suddenly appear.

　If the person in front of us suddenly uses [Black Flame] when we are attacking the master, there may be damage.

　That is why, even after I had defeated the leader and sent the cavalry to join the attack, I kept my binoculars on the top of the tower and looked around the whole battlefield with my eyes as if they were saucers.

　But in reality, there was no new head of the family to emerge on the battlefield.

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

　It was only after the battle that we learned that there was a man, Pesci's brother, who was supposed to be the next head of the family by the side of the leader.

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

　However, the younger brother was crushed to death by a huge spear in the first attack of Thanatos.

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

　As a result, it seems that there was no next heir on the battlefield, which means that there was no one who used the "Black Flame" as the head of the family.

　Thus, the central army of Uruk was stirred up into a mess by the Balkan cavalry, which rushed into the enemy lines without any obstacles, and suffered heavy losses by the armies of Xillia, Ayn Radd, and Burma.

"Hey, Ars. Isn't that Mr. Thanatos too dangerous?　Dad, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if an attack like that had been directed at us."

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

"Well, yes. Well, he's dangerous, but he doesn't seem to be a bad guy. And you can't complain about Thanatos after all he's done for you, can you, Dad?

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

"That's true, but it also explains why the village of Atmos was cheated in the east. The thought that such power could be used against us depending on the reward is enough to scare anyone.

"Indeed. He's still in a weakened state, and he says he's not in good shape. Well, I guess it's a blessing in disguise that I had learned the language of the East from Gran. I'll try to communicate with him and build a relationship of trust.

"I'm really counting on you, Ars. And teach Mr. Thanatos some manners. If he does something to the big guys, Ars and Barca might have to take the blame.

"Oh, I see. Oh, I see. That's how it is. All right, Dad. I'll be careful. So, are we almost done with the loot hunt?"

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

"Then I guess we're almost done. Yes, the other knights should be here soon. You have something to discuss, don't you?"

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

"Okay. I'm going back to the main camp."

　Clashes between armies of nearly equal numbers.

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

　But our camp did not suffer much damage.

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

　The fact that they had defeated the leader of the House of Uruk from the very beginning was a major factor, but the peasants who had been rallied were probably even more afraid of the attack by the giant flying spears.

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

　Many of them tried to run away from the sight of the several attacks that went over their heads towards the main Uruk camp.

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

　The Uruk knights and their squires tried to hold them back, shouting to keep them at bay, but there was a limit.

　Then the brother Bait led his cavalry into the panic with a blitzkrieg attack with his thundering sword.

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

　It was no longer a proper battle.

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

　And yet, the cleanup took longer than expected.

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

　It was all right to deal with the disorganized Uruk army, but the Fontana army was also doing whatever they wanted to take the credit, and some of them even chased after the fleeing peasant soldiers.

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

　One by one the surviving Uruk knights were crushed, and it was almost night when the skirmishes were finally over and the loot collection from the losers was also over.

"What do you think, Wagner?"

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

"Yes, I am sure that it was the head of the House of Uruk that Lord Thanatos defeated. I am sure of it.

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

"And now the other heir is gone. The next in line of succession is in the capital of Uruk. Are you sure about that?

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

"Yes. Yes, I think so. I think that he was given the job in the capital in case he had to go off to war.

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

"Does that mean that they know for sure that the head of the city or a candidate for the next head of the city is dead?"

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

That's right. There is no other way for a person to suddenly have more magic power on his/her person. He must surely understand that he has become the head of the family. However,...... perhaps he cannot use [black flame] even if he succeeds to the head anymore."

"......Oh, well. The Uruks have lost more knights in this battle. Is it possible that they can't get enough magic power to activate the higher magic that the master can use?

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

Yes, sir.

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

　Discussions were held with the commanders of the various armies at the main camp.

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

　I understood what Wagner had said.

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

　The house of Cicilia has already had the name Uruk dropped.

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

　The head of the House of Xillia, Harold, is still the head of the House of Xillia in the capital, but Wagner and the other knights who remained in the city of Xillia have been forced to abandon the name.

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

　The knights who have been active in the battle against the Uruks will be given the name of Fontana by Carlos as the House of Xylia, with Wagner at the top again.

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

　At that point, the head of the House of Uruk had been weakened horribly.

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

　And as a final blow, many of the Uruk knights in the Uruk army were killed.

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

　Even though the heads of the noble families are strong, it would be difficult for them to even activate the higher level magic.

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

　In such a case, it would be as good as the end of the nobility.

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

　No matter how many more people inherit the magic of the Uruks, they will no longer be an enemy.

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

　As a result, the House of Uruk was almost finished when the Xillia family made a move to secede.

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

　In that sense, in this world of warfare, it is sometimes more effective to make the opposing knight defection than to take his territory.

"Okay, then, from tomorrow, we should continue to advance our army and capture the capital.

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

"May I have a word with you, Mister Ars?"

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

"What is it, Mister Peacha?"

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

We would like to have a little more room for maneuver. I'll take care of the attack on the capital.

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

Wait a minute. Then the Burmese army will take care of the attack on the capital.

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

"Attack on the capital?　Also, wouldn't it be easier to end this with a giant attack?"

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

No, that is not our position. Let us attack the city by all means, Lord Ars.

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

"...... Okay. Then the Uruk capital will be left to the armies of Ayn Radd and Burma. The Xirian army will have another task for you, Wagner?"

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

"Yes, sir."

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

　Thus ended the battle on the plain of Myrias, and Uruk was attacked in its capital.
