"I'm off then, Mr. Ars."

"Yeah, take care, Leon. Take care of Carlos.

I understand. I know. I know. Please be careful, Mr. Ars, and don't do anything rash.

　Three positions south of Fort Einrad.

　From there Fontana's army regrouped and began to move.

　There is still Memento's army that has been deployed near this position, but the forces led by Carlos and Leon will pull back once they are in place.

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

　The reason for this was to escort the king.

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

　It seems that Carlos has finally decided to return the king to his royal domain.

　The royal territory is located to the south of Fontana, and there are two routes to get there, one from the east and the other from the west.

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

　The eastern route is through this position down from Fort Einrad, and then it must pass through Memento's territory.

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

　It would be impossible to pass through the eastern part where the army is currently deployed.

　Then, as Rion had asked, we could also go through the sky neither to the east nor to the west.

　However, all I could say was that this would be impossible for Valka with its airship.

　He could only fly safely in the sky under limited conditions.

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

　So, the only option left was to go west.

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

　The route south from the new Fontana-incorporated Arbalest knight territory.

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

　This route seems to go southward along the river until the halfway point, and then it will be possible to go back to the land.

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

　This is an effective use of the Arbalest family's ship-maneuvering skills.

　So Carlos, Leon and Laguna returned to the city of Fontana to escort the king and started to move further west.

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

　The only ones left were the forces of Barca and the knightly families who ruled the old Uruk territory.

　Am I the only one who thinks that it would be quite dangerous if the Memento family attacked us now?

"What are you worried about, Ars? Aren't you in charge of this place now that Carlos is gone?　You need to stand taller."

"You say that, but we're up against a really tough opponent, Brother Bite. They have strong magic and they are numerous. I just feel like I've been given a tough job.

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

"What the hell? You've been playing whack-a-doodle-doo when I wasn't around. That's not fair, Ars. Come on, let's go fight Memento's army.

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

"...... I'm telling you, don't do anything on your own, brother Bite. Our job is to hold Memento's army at bay. We can't waste time fighting and causing damage.

　At first, the knights of the former Uruk territory, who had just acquired a new territory, could not come to this camp to stabilize their land.

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

　However, after some time had passed, it seemed that there was a break in the situation.

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

　They came to this camp to supplement the forces of the departing Carlos and his men, leaving the minimum number of men in the territory.

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

　In addition to the Baito brothers, Wagner and Peicha of the Xillia family remained in this position.

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

　Since Carlos, the head of the Fontana family, had left, I, the head of the Barca knight family, was appointed as the general commander of this eastern army.

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

　I am sorry for my brother Bite who is very motivated, but all I can do now is to pray for the safe return of the king and to defend this place.

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

　From our position, we kept ourselves informed of the movements of the Memento family's army, and tried to stay on the defensive.

"Well?　Can you hear me, Brother Bite?"

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

"Oh!　That's great. I can really hear you directly in my head, Kyle. How do you do that?"

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

"Well, you see, I'm using magic power to send the thoughts I want to convey directly to the person I'm speaking to.

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

"Wow, isn't that great! ...... hmmm, no, I can't do it at all. Can you do this telepathy thing, Ars?

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

"No, I can't do that, Bite-brother. I tried to practice, but I couldn't do it. I don't know, but I don't think he's sending the language through magic."

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

"What?　Not words?"

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

"Yeah. Originally, the telepathy that Kyle uses was spoken to him by the trees in the forest. But, of course, trees don't speak human language. But Kyle was able to understand what the trees were saying. Well, it seems that they are sending thoughts other than human words directly with their magic power.

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

"I don't understand. Are you saying you don't have a voice in your head?"

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

Apparently so.

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

"d*mn, I can't do it. It would have come in handy if I could have used it. It's a shame. Kyle, you better get the Reeds working on a spell so they can use it, too.

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

"Uh, yeah. Maybe we'll have a successful spell soon, Bite-brother. I've been practicing a little bit.

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

　Kyle and his brother Bite came to the camp and had a friendly chat.

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

　I had been to the Barthes knight territory to see him about the mine, so it was not so bad, but Kyle had not seen him for a long time.

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

　I guess he missed him a little.

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

　Now they are talking happily.

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

　Kyle's new magic was mentioned in the conversation, and he was very surprised just as I was.

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

　But that was to be expected.

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

　He can send his voice directly to the head of the person he is talking to from a distance.

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

　It will be a great help on the battlefield, but it will also be a great help in the management of the territory.

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

　It seemed that Baito knew this very well, and he was urging Kyle to make it into a spell as soon as possible.

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

"I heard that Bite-Brother has created a new spell. Did you say something about [Riding technique]?"

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

"Yeah, I think I've got some kind of a knack for making spells with [Armed Enhancement]. But it's a bit of a simple spell."

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

"I don't think so. The knights of Baltic whom Byte named can ride Valkyries with magic even if they have no riding experience. We'll have the strongest cavalry unit without any practice.

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

"Hehe, you know exactly what I'm talking about, Ars. I know, it's surprisingly difficult for other people to ride Valkyries. So I thought I'd just use it as a spell.

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

"It's true that it's hard enough just to ride a horse, but on the battlefield you have to use a weapon while riding. Valkyries should still be easy to ride because they listen to what you say, but you still have to put in a lot of practice time.

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

"Right?　That's my boy Ars. You seem to understand the importance of my magic. I know. It's good magic.

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

　Kyle is great, but so is my brother Byte.

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

　While struggling to manage his newly-assigned territory, he had developed a new magic.

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

　The name of it is "the art of riding a horse".

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

　It was just a magic to ride a Valkyrie.

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

　However, it seemed to be surprisingly useful.

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

　After all, my brother Byte had been riding around on Valkyries since he was a child, just like me, so his riding skill was extremely high.

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

　He never rides Valkyrie in a way that Valkyrie does not like, and he can even swing his weapon around while riding on her back.

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

　Just by naming such a high level of riding skill, others can also obtain it.

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

　It is not as flashy and powerful as the Memento family's "Tornado," but I think it is powerful enough.

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

　Thus, the Barthes knight family, of which my brother Byte reigned as the head, was quickly transformed into the most powerful cavalry group, and gathered together under me like this.
