"Mr. Ars, we have detected the enemy. The Khamas army is positioned across the river, just ahead.

"Okay. As expected. We'll hit the Carmas here.

　The noble territory of Carmas, south of Fontana territory.

　Before entering the territory, 5,000 troops of the House of Carmus are said to be waiting at the river.

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

　This number is a little small to take on the Fontana.

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

　Some of us who had received this information at the lodging place right in front of the Carmathian territory voiced such a view.

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

　But that may not be so.

　This time, we had taken a few members of the Reed family with us on our way to capture the labyrinthine city.

　And after we successfully conquered the labyrinthine city, we handed over control of it to the Memento family and declared war on the Carmus family.

　But the important thing here is that I had once contacted the city of Fontana with a telepathic communication with a member of the Reed family.

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

　In other words, it was a messenger sent from the city of Fontana that declared war on the Carmas family, not us who were still in the labyrinthine city.

　Therefore, when the Carmusians received the declaration of war, they hurriedly assembled an army of peasants, but they did not know whether they should send their army to the north, where their territory bordered on Fontana, or to the south, where they could defend themselves against the Fontana cavalry, which had suddenly moved south a few days earlier. He was not sure.

　That is why they probably divided their forces.

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

　One to the north bordering the Fontana territory and the other to the south.

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

　In that sense, I think it is excellent that they have 5,000 troops standing by on the south side.

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

　In any case, they are on the lookout for an army of only 1,000 cavalrymen.

　Incidentally, he instructs Kyle to gather more than 10,000 cavalry in the three positions in Fontana that border the Carmathian territory.

　It would be more natural for him to be more conscious of the north, but he did not fall for it.

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

　But it does not really matter.

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

　After all, this is an elite unit that had crushed the labyrinthine city of the great aristocrats in no time at all.

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

　The next day, after receiving the information, the Fontana cavalry attacked the place where the Carmas family was waiting for them.

"Freeze the river, ice nymphs!"

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

　The order is given to the ice nymphs floating in the air around the Valkyrie unit.

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

　These ice spirits are the blue balls of light-like ice spirits that I had summoned with [Summon Ice Spirits].

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

　One by one, they are not strong.

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

　But for some reason, I was able to summon more than one ice spirit unlike others, so I used them in an unusual way.

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

　The ice spirits were used in this expedition to absorb the "coldness" of the surroundings and prevent the temperature from decreasing.

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

　By having ice spirits around the cavalry, the freezing cold is eliminated if the ice spirits absorb the cold.

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

　However, since the cavalry is riding on a valkyrie that runs with the wind, it is affected by the wind, so to say that it is cold would be an understatement.

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

　However, it is easier to summon and maintain a large number of ice nymphs if the snow has already begun to fall.

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

　For this reason, the cavalrymen left the ice spirits out all the time they were on the move.

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

　The ice spirits were instructed to freeze the water of the river in front of the Carmas family's camp.

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

　The Carmas had been absorbing the cold until now.

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

　It seems that they were able to freeze the water of the Midway River faster than they had been able to freeze the water of the Midway River where they had fought the Arbalests before.

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

　The river here is narrower and has less water than the Midway River, which is a large river formed by several rivers flowing into it.

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

　That may have been a factor in the faster freezing.

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

　But it clearly upset the Carmathians to see it.

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

　...... I see.

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

　Perhaps he knows the details of my battle with the Arbalests.

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

　The method I used in my previous victory over the Arbalests was to freeze the water of this river.

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

　All the Arbalests on the ice were burned to death.

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

　It was by the power of my magic sword, the Glacial Flame Sword, which turns ice into fire.

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

　They must be wary of that.

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

　That's why the Khamas did not move.

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

　They did not move when they saw the cavalrymen on Valkyries moving forward one after another on the ice of the frozen river and getting closer to each other.

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

　Taking advantage of this, Fontana's army, without paying any attention to them, increased their speed as they approached the waiting Carmas army.

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

　However, just before the cavalry was about to reach Carmas' army, the other side made a move.

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

　A well-dressed man at the head of Carmus' army steps forward and moves to cast a spell while holding a large wooden staff.

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

　Looking at him, one can see that he has more magic power than the others.

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

　Moreover, he had much more magic power than a normal knight.

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

　Probably of the level of the leader.

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

　In a battle between nobles, it is usually a theory that the power of the head of the house should be preserved.

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

　However, the man who was the leader of the Carmas army seemed to be planning to inflict a wound on Fontana's army with his first blow.

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

　The King's Water Tsunami.

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

　This is the name of the higher magic of the Carmus family.

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

　The head of the Carmus family is about to unleash a spell that literally has terrifying offensive capabilities.

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

　Royal water is a powerful acidic liquid.

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

　It appears like a tsunami and pushes it toward the opponent.

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

　This is the effect of the Khamas family's high-level magic, the "King's Water Tsunami.

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

　The Black Flame of the House of Uruk and the Distant Thunder of the House of Arbalest were also bad, but this one is quite bad too.

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

　According to what I have heard, the height of the tsunami is about 1 meter, but even so, it will kill you instantly if it hits you seriously.

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

　Even if you build a wall, a 5-meter-wide wall won't be enough to completely protect you.

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

　That's why I blocked it.

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

　The moment the man at the head of the Khamas family tried to activate the tsunami... he activated his magical tool.

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

　The Bracelet of Enchantment.

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

　It was one of the magic items stored in the labyrinth town.

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

　When I conquered the labyrinth city, I received this magic bracelet that was kept in the labyrinth city.

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

　And I used it now.

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

　The effect is that it prevents any magic from appearing around the bracelet.

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

　According to the information, the range of the effect is quite wide, and it is said to be able to cover an entire battlefield.

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

　And they were right.

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

　The head of the Carmas family raised his staff and tried to activate the "King's Water Tsunami", but it did not cause any phenomena.

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

　In fact, this bracelet of sealing is one of the reasons why the Percival family was blamed for the murders of Carlos and the Kings.

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

　It was inexplicable that Carlos, who was escorting the king, was destroyed without being able to make any resistance or protect the king, no matter how unexpectedly he was attacked.

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

　And according to the testimony of Rion who was there, Carlos who was attacked was trying to fight with his sword without activating the higher level magic called "summon ice spirit".

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

　In other words, Carlos could not use magic for some reason and had to resist only with weapons.

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

　Then, why is that?

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

　I am saying that it is because of the sealing of magic by the [sealing bracelet] that is kept in the labyrinth town.

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

　In fact, I thought that this might be true.

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

　In any case, the man who was the head of the Carmas family was completely confused when he could not unleash his best attack, the [King's Water Tsunami].

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

　He repeatedly looked at his staff, waved it, and tried to activate the magic with his magical power.

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

　But it did not happen.

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

　Then Fontana's army came crashing down on them.

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

　The magic was also disabled by the sealing bracelets.

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

　The effect of this bracelet is not a debuff against the opponent, but a field effect.

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

　Neither of the two camps can use magic.

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

　But there was no problem.

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

　Because the weapon in my hand is the holy sword Granvalka, which I hold in my hand as I ride the Valkyrie in the lead.

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

　Even if I can't use magic, I can put magic into it.

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

　And this Grunbalka, imbued with magic power, is a sword so powerful that it can cut through anything, and is so famous that it has been given the name "Zantetsu Ken" (sword of iron and steel).

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

　I can't help but think that Carlos might be alive today if I had entrusted him with this Gran Barca.

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

　But it is too late to think about such a thing now, I suppose.

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

　I was thinking such thoughts as the holy sword Granvalka easily cut down the body of the head of the Carmus family, and then kicked the Carmus army away.
