"Dad, I need you to fly the airship."

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

"Okay, Ars. But are you sure you won't take the airship?

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

"Yes, because I'm almost out of magic power of the dragon magic stone. There's nothing to do even if I get on an airship and go to the sky.

"I see. But if that's the case, why did you bother to bring an airship to fly here, which is a hindrance to transportation?"

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

"Oh, you mean that. The airship is used as a decoy.

"Decoy?"

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

Yeah, that's right, Dad. I flew over Memento's army in my airship and burned their pantry. They were almost defenseless. Do you know why?"

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

"Because,...... I've never seen a flying vehicle like this before, have you?　My dad still can't believe airships float in the sky. I don't think they had any idea that there were people on board and that they were going to be attacked."

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

"Yes, it is. That's right, Dad. Because they didn't know about the airship, they didn't know what they were going to do, and they couldn't be warned. And what do you think would happen if that airship appeared again?

"Well, you'd be surprised, wouldn't you? Once again, we could be set on fire by the military. If it were my father, he might panic and attack with his bow or magic.

"Yes. For Memento's army, the presence of airships is worth more danger than anything else. They drop ice that burns the larders and sprays poisons that can't be [cleaned] off. But there's one crucial difference from last time. That's because I'm not on the airship."

"What does it mean that Ars is not on board?"

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

"That's easy. Memento's army did not know who was on the airship or who attacked it at that time. So, the other side has to be very careful as soon as they see the airship. In other words, an airship has the effect of attracting the attention of the other side's military just by flying in the sky, even if it doesn't attack.

"I see. If everyone is looking up, it will divert attention from the movements of the Barka forces moving on the ground, Ars. I see. Leave the airship to my father. I'll fly over them and try to scratch their movement.

"Yes, please, Dad. Take it easy. Take care of Kyle."

Of course. Take care of yourself, Ars.

　Many of Memento's troops were immobilized by the poison sprayed on them beforehand.

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

　They attacked.

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

　But first, I had one more plan in mind.

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

　That is to send airships.

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

　Airships have no offensive capability.

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

　Therefore, they would just float in the sky and float over the opponent's army.

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

　But that alone is effective against them.

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

　People are terribly unnerved by things they do not know at all.

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

　If they don't know it is dangerous, there is no way to pay attention to it.

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

　That is why the airship succeeded in burning the Memento's larder.

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

　But the next one will not be so easy.

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

　They are not stupid.

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

　They will be wary of us.

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

　That's why we will take advantage of it.

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

　Because they will be wary, we will take advantage of that.

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

　That's why they launched their airships before the Valkans could attack.

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

　They float slowly in the air and ride the air currents that move toward Memento's army, following the guidance of the weather birds.

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

　Then, they took over Memento's army as they picked up speed.

"Now! Vulcans, charge!"

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

　I see it, and I give the order.

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

　At the sound of my voice, the Barka army began to move in large numbers.

"Ba, Barca cavalry! Stop them!

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

"Charge in! Kill as many as you can!

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

　The army of the Memento family was advancing in numbers of 40,000.

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

　Then the army of Barca, which was one order of magnitude smaller, charged in.

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

　Normally, this would be a battle that could never be won.

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

　If the two armies collided head-on, no matter how many tricks they tried, they could never win.

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

　So, I decided to bring the battle to a local battle after playing a few tricks.

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

　First, I hit them hard and get the results of the war.

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

　And when I got the results, I immediately turned around and said, "I'm not going to let you win this war.

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

　The battle was won by Barka.

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

　Then, what is the necessary result for that?

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

　The head of the head of Memento's army.

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

　But it is not the head of the commander-in-chief of Memento's army.

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

　It was to aim for the heads of the multiple heads of Memento's army.

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

　Yes, a noble family like Memento could mobilize an army of 40,000 men, but what is even more astonishing is that they could send more than one head of the family to the battlefield.

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

　According to preliminary information and the information I obtained on board the airship, there are currently five heads of the Memento family on the battlefield.

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

　The objective of this battle was to defeat one of them and quickly turn back.

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

　We believe that this strategy is not impossible.

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

　This is because we will not be fighting against five of the most powerful men in the family at once.

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

　It seems that each of them is leading his own army.

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

　And the head of the class who leads 5,000 of them.

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

　That's who I was after.

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

　In short, Memento's army was not a single group of 40,000 men, but a collection of armies, not a monolith.

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

　I slowed them down in advance and even sent an airship to distract them so that the other four leaders would not rush to the army of the leader I was aiming at.

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

　That was all I could do.

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

　The only thing left to do now was to defeat the opponent in front of me.

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

　Thus, the forces of Barca clashed with those of Memento.
