　I decided to launch an attack against the Percival family.

　And I dare to do it in the winter time when they usually don't move.

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

　There are good reasons as to why I am taking such a reckless step.

　One of them is that there is still a gap in power between a noble family like the Percival family and the current Fontana family, even though they are being pushed by the other two families.

　Therefore, they will move at a time when they think it is impossible for them to be attacked.

　In other words, it is the same as the usual surprise attack.

　I win.

　In this case, it is not necessary to win the whole house of Percival.

　It is important to win even if it is only a part of the Percival family.

　What we did in the past against the Memento family who attacked us, we will do on a larger scale.

　The reason for our participation in this war is to avenge the death of Carlos.

　Through Rion, I have accused the Percival family of being the cause of the deaths of Carlos and the king, and I have turned the evidence against them.

　And this led two of the other three noble families to fight against the Percival family in order to hold them responsible for the death of the king.

　The Fontanas, who had set this trend in motion, and by extension me, were indirectly supporting the noble families fighting against the Percival family by selling supplies and other items to them.

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

　This was also because the Fontana as a whole had decided to mourn the death of Carlos.

　But even so, it is sometimes said that

"Does Ars von Barca not want to avenge his late master, Carlos de Fontana, with his own hands? And.

　Apparently, face is important to knights and nobles.

　What kind of a person would be so stupid as to stay back in his own territory and not even move to avenge the murder of his master, who was also his parent?

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

　No, if they don't want to move, they should not move, but there is a disadvantage that it would make them look bad to those around them.

　It is also possible to just prioritize survival without thinking about that, but if I do that, I will lose a little or a lot of trust from the people around me.

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

　So, I want to show that I am doing my best to avenge my enemies in an easy-to-understand manner.

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

　So, we have no choice but to move.

　However, when the snow melts next year and we officially enter the war, it will be a difficult task.

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

　We have no idea how much it will cost us to go all the way to the distant territory of the Percival family to attack them with an army.

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

　If possible, we would like to pretend that we defeated the Percival family quickly and easily.

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

　Therefore, we are going to attack the Percival family at this time of the year.

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

　But to be precise, the Percival family itself is not the target.

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

　I am not targeting the noble house of Percival, but its subordinate house of the Knights of Tears.

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

　I will launch a swift attack and crush the Tears family.

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

　That was my strategic goal.

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

　The Percival family is not a noble family, but a house of knights of the Tears.

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

　The Percival family is one of the most powerful noble families in the world, and as an alliance of the three noble families, it has worked with the Reinsatz and Memento families to oust the former high nobility, the Risorte family.

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

　However, the Percival family has remained in the third place within the Triple Alliance.

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

　Why is this?

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

　It is because the Percival family was once an ordinary noble family, which grew rapidly and became a great noble family a few generations ago.

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

　Six generations before the current head of the Percival family brought about a great change in the Percival family.

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

　However, it does not mean that the ancestral head of the family developed new magic.

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

　However, the prosperity of the Percival family was related to a certain magic.

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

　It is the magic of the Tears family.

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

　In the past, the House of Thiers was an old noble family with its own magic, which other noble families owned as pawns.

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

　It seems that they existed as a noble family in the time of the first king, but the power of the royal family has been drastically reduced, and the time has come for each noble family to rise to power on its own.

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

　However, the old noble house of the Tiers was unable to fully defend its lands.

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

　The House of Tiers was settled under the control of other noble houses and entered a period of disadvantage.

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

　This is because the magic of the House of Thiers was non-offensive magic, which is called low rank magic.

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

　The Tears family has since been in several noble families, and has kept its name.

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

　But it was not a good thing.

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

　Because every noble house that took the Tears under their charge surrounded and protected them with their own lands.

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

　They did not do anything with their own talents and barely made a name for themselves.

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

　Just when it seemed that the Tears family would continue in such an unfavorable period for a long time, a turning point came.

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

　That was the encounter with the Percival family.

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

　The Percival family is a noble family with offensive magic, and they managed to swim through the stormy and turbulent times.

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

　However, there was one thing in the Percival family's territory that was definitely different from other noble families.

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

　A labyrinth.

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

　This is what existed in the Percival family's domain.

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

　A monster-infested dungeon that extended underground.

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

　Such a place that could only exist in a fantasy world existed in the Percival family.

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

　And the labyrinth and the magic of the Tears family were a perfect match.

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

　The Tears family's magic is called [ability release].

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

　This magic is said to give blessings to those who have grown up after overcoming life-threatening experiences.

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

　A magic that has no offensive ability at all, but has a protected past that has been monopolized by many noble families.

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

　It has met its match in the labyrinth.

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

　When the Percival family acquired the house of Tears, the then head of the family immediately instructed the use of the magic of the Tears family near the labyrinth.

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

　The explorers are called "explorers" who fight for their lives by hiding in the labyrinth and defeating the demons that infest the labyrinth.

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

　He ordered them to use [ability release].

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

　This has led to the development of the Percival family, which continues to this day.

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

　The Percival family uses [ability release] on the explorers who dive into the labyrinth, forcing those who have crossed the line of death many times to be strengthened.

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

　The great thing about [ability release] is that it can also cause high-ranking searchers to manifest magic.

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

　The unique magic that is invoked by casting a spell like magic is like a skill in the simplest terms.

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

　The skills are different for each searcher, as they are automatically manifested, but some of them are still able to attack remotely.

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

　This has led to the production of people who are as good as, or even better than, knights.

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

　Those who explore the labyrinth gain experience and improve their skills the deeper they go into the labyrinth.

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

　And when the Tears family uses [ability release] magic on such experienced and talented people, their physical abilities are strengthened.

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

　Those who use their enhanced abilities to dive even deeper into the labyrinth and become more skilled will gain the skills that are appropriate for them.

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

　However, this is only a type of magic, and one cannot, for example, bestow the same skills on others by naming them.

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

　Nor can they bequeath them to their own children in an inheritance ceremony.

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

　But even so, there is no end to the number of those who dive into the labyrinth.

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

　Because, if they acquire the appropriate skills, they may be recognized and hired by the nobles and knights.

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

　No, even if you don't, you can earn better money than usual by hiding in the labyrinth.

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

　The labyrinth is a place where those who are in need of food come to make a last-ditch effort, and a system has been created to naturally attract human resources.

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

　In other words, the Percival family, by owning the labyrinth and the House of Tears within its territory, has created an environment that produces battle specialists with a wealth of actual battle experience, unlike other noble families.

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

　Moreover, the magical stones and materials produced from the labyrinth increased their economic power.

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

　In this way, after several generations, they succeeded in acquiring such power that they were even called one of the great noble families.

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

　That is why they target the Tears family.

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

　For House Percival, House Thiers is not just a house of knights.

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