Fontana's army, led by me, succeeded in conquering the labyrinthine streets, which was our goal.

If we could conquer the labyrinthine streets, that would be good enough, and if we could do that successfully and have enough energy left over, there was a possibility that we would return home with one more war result.

This was also the purpose of the "non-interference" that we had agreed to after transferring the ownership of the Labyrinthine City to the Memento family.

We reduced our numbers and even introduced a horned Valkyrie to attack the labyrinth city with priority given to speed.

The basic composition of the army consisted of many knights from Barka's army and Barthes' army, but there were others who joined the Fontana army as well.

Among them are Peicha and his men who rule Einrad, and the Burmese knights who rule Burma, or those of Uruk origin led by Wagner.

In other words, they cannot use [meditation] to relieve the fatigue of daily long-distance travel, nor can they use [the art of horsemanship] like the Barthes.

We can only bring back weapons and armor with magical effects stored in the labyrinthine city, and useful personnel such as Lusica.

Then we decided to take the noble lands to the south of the Fontana family as a reward for the trip, or rather, as something we can recover on the way back.

If they lead their army against the Percival family, their territory borders that of the Fontana family, even though they are in mourning.

It is only natural that they would not be able to turn their army toward Percival's territory without leaving their defenses open to a dangerous territory that has been growing in power in recent years.
