"My house hereby renounces the name of Uruk and pledges its allegiance to you."

Okay. I look forward to your future work."

　After the battle in the plains of Myrias, we have decided to move our forces to capture the Uruk capitals.

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

　The main forces will be Ayn Radd's army and the Burmese army.

　I was in the rear of these two armies as they attacked the capital boldly and repeatedly.

　I took up a position near the capital and settled down there.

　Then I decided to send a message to all of Uruk.

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

　I sent a message to all the knights of Uruk who were still in existence after the battle in the plain of Myrias.

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

　I told them that those who came to our headquarters and greeted us before the fall of Uruk would be allowed to continue to rule their lands as before.

　But although I was the one who proposed that this notice be sent out, the document gives the name of a different person.

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

　It is the name of Wagner, the new head of the house of Cicilia.

　In other words, the correct content of the letter was that "the House of Xillia, having overthrown the House of Uruk, will offer the knights of Uruk relief of their lands if they join the House of Xillia.

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

　There is a reason why the House of Xillia decided to interfere in the future of the territory in this way.

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

　It was, after all, to stabilize the territory of Uruk as soon as possible, as was their original purpose.

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

　For this purpose, they decided to use the name of the Xillia family.

　Originally, although this battle started as a plot on our part, it was initiated by the Xillia family, which had lost the trust of the Uruk family, by sending a request for help to Fontana.

　In other words, it can be said that the Fontana simply intervened in the civil war between the Uruks and the Xillians that broke out in the Uruk territory.

　In other words, it was the House of Xylia that overthrew the House of Uruk and took possession of the Uruk territory.

　The House of Xyria overthrew the House of Uruk and reigned as a new noble house.

　If this battle were to be written down in words, it would look like this.

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

　The knightly houses of Uruk that still remained in the Uruk lands would have to make a choice if they wanted to continue to hold their lands and continue to be knights.

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

　Either they will join the House of Xillia, or they will fight against the House of Xillia.

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

　But it took a lot of courage to choose to fight.

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

　Because many of the knightly families had already exhausted their forces in the battle of the Myriad Plains.

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

　But then, one might be tempted to think that the Fontanas would have no advantage in fighting with all their forces.

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

　But in fact, there was a great advantage.

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

　The Uruk knights abandoned the name of Uruk and joined the House of Xillia.

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

　But the House of Xillia has already abandoned the name of Uruk before the other knights.

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

　In other words, the Xillia family cannot use magic such as [foxing] and [oboibo hiwari].

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

　That is to say, the knights who have joined the House of Xillia and received their names from the House of Xillia will lose their magic.

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

　It must be difficult for them to accept the relief of their territories.

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

　However, there were still many knights who swore allegiance to the House of Xillia.

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

　Even now, new knightly families are coming to our headquarters and pledging their allegiance to Wagner.

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

　That is because the house of Xillia will receive the name of the house of Fontana when this battle is over.

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

　We may have lost our magic now, but we will have it again.

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

　Not the magic of the Uruks, but the magic of the Fontanas.

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

　The knights of Uruk had to make a hard decision.

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

　Of course, some of the Uruk knights would never have accepted such a decision.

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

　They will either pretend that they did not hear the message from House Xillia, or they will rebel against it.

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

　But if that happens, there will be no problem.

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

　Then it will be up to us, the Balkan army.

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

　Those who have not come to greet the Xillia family by the time the Uruk capital falls will be attacked by the Balkan army.

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

　No, it is not only the army of Barca that will do the job.

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

　Perhaps Ayn Radd and the Burmese army will do the same.

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

　Those of us from the Fontana camp who took part in this war against Uruk will gain territory there.

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

　The Xilians will recognize only the territories they currently hold, and the Fontana camp will be free to carve out any other territories that are part of the main domain of the House of Uruk or of any knights who have rebelled against the Xilians.

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

　It is a competition with Picha and the others.

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

　We would like to have a large piece of land, but we need to be careful not to clash with each other.

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

　That's when I was thinking about it.

"Excuse me. I am Ars von Barka. May I have a moment of your time?"

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

"I beg your pardon? If you have come to greet the Cicilians, you will find Mr. Wagner over there.

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

No, I came all the way here because I wanted to meet you, Mr. Ars. My name is Payne. I would like to be your subordinate.

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

"...... Lord Payne, is it? I beg your pardon, but are you not a knight-errant of Uruk? What is it that a knight of Uruk wants to be my servant?

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

It is true that I was knighted by the House of Uruk and have the status of a knight. It is true that I was made a knight of the House of Uruk, and I have the rank of knight, but I would like to give up that name and work for Master Ars as a simple pain.

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

"I don't understand. Why don't you make yourself a knight under Wagner? To be honest, I think that I am disliked by the knights of Uruk.

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

"......It is true that the name of Lord Ars does not have a good reputation in the Uruk realm. But I know what you are capable of. I have experienced your power on the battlefield.

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

"Was Lord Payne on the Myriad Plains?"

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

No, sir. I was in Einrad last year. I was at that battlefield under Mr. Pesci's command.

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

"At that time?　Come to think of it, I think I've seen your face somewhere ....... Perhaps you were the commander of the Uruk forces after the death of Pessis de l'Ourcq?"

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

"Not exactly. It was my father who was in command of the army at that time, after the death of Mr. Pesci. He was defeated by Carlos de Fontana. I was there to assist him.

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

"I see. Your father fought on without losing his army even after the death of the leader, Pessis de Ourcq. He fought very well. To tell you the truth, I was ready to die right then and there.

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

"My father must be pleased as a knight to hear such words from a great man like you, Sir Ars. I respected my father. And since that day I have not been able to stop thinking about the army of Barca, which my father could not defeat even with a force several times his strength. I beg you, Lord Ars. No, Master Ars. Will you let me fight for you? I've fallen under the spell of your Barca power."

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

　Well, I can't help but think that's a bit of a stretch.

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

　But from the looks of it, Payne seemed to be quite strong.

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

　It is not that he became strong by the benefit of the magic pass, but he is full of confidence that he has built up through his own training.

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

　It was a marvel that the Uruk army continued to fight even after losing their commander-in-chief, Pessi, on that battlefield.

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

　If he is the son of the man who was in command at that time, he should be able to do that.

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

　However, I would not be the one to name Payne, a knight of Uruk, out of the blue.

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

　For the time being, I will hold off and see if I can use it.

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

　Thus, I have decided to hire Payne, a young man who has renounced the name of Uruk, as my advisor about the Uruk territory.
