　The Kuzuryu Plain, where flooding occurs frequently.

　The Gulu River is a large river that is one of the less flood-prone areas.

　The Gulu River is one of the larger rivers in the region, and it is relatively easy to cross it, requiring the use of boats.

　However, even in such a river, it is not easy to build a base on the riverbank.

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

　We need to take measures against the rising water, but if we take it easy, there is a possibility that we will be attacked from the Bulgarian side.

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

　We have to proceed calmly in a situation where we do not know when we will be attacked.

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

　This is all because, in a sudden change of strategy, we, the Orientals, have decided to pursue a strategy of endurance warfare.

　However, the Orientals will follow our instructions without complaint even if it is different from the original plan.

　We set up a stronghold on the Gulu River to fortify it, and continued to supply it with ships.

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

　We will then use the stronghold to ravage the interior of Bulgaria.

　For this purpose, defensive walls and landing sites were built in a hurry.

"Experience has paid off. I'm confident that we'll probably be able to build a base in less time than any other country.

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

"Indeed. Both the Orientals and the Barca mercenaries had been involved in many construction projects. Everyone is moving so fast that we should be able to complete the base without any problems.

"Well, we'll go to work in the meantime. I'm sorry, Ian, but you're going to have to wait here. When the Bulgarian army comes out, you'll take care of it.

"Okay."

　Unlike the capital of Gulagaria, this base was built with [wall construction].

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

　This is because it is faster in terms of the amount of magic power consumed.

　Temporary buildings were built inside the encampment, and a pier was constructed.

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

　Normally, it would have taken much longer, but we were able to finish the construction of the facilities inside the camp in a short time.

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

　The reason for this is that we built the camp next to the river.

　Normally, it would take a lot of time just to build a single house.

　Trees were felled, logs were made, dried, and cut from them, then cut into appropriate lengths while reading the grain of the wood, brushed, and nailed.

　This is because there are many processes involved in building a building from scratch.

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

　However, in order to omit these processes, building materials were standardized in the Orient.

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

　This was a method introduced by Ai, as many recent construction projects were being carried out simultaneously.

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

　The materials to be used for the buildings to be built in the Orient were standardized from the beginning.

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

　In this way, the building could be constructed simply by assembling, without having to measure and cut the materials to length each time.

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

　This saved a lot of time and effort.

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

　Although the craftsmen in the Orient sometimes criticized this method of manufacturing for its lack of individuality, it was accepted at the construction site because the first priority was to quickly build a building that could withstand the wind and rain.

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

　The standardized materials were sent to the bases in Gulagaria via the Gulu River, a logistics artery, and many buildings were successfully constructed at high speed.

　In addition, swords, bows, arrows, food, and daily necessities were brought in one after another.

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

　Occasionally, we saw some boats moving from the lumberyards in the middle of the Gulu River to scout our situation, but each time we intercepted them with our magic iron boats, they stopped coming out.

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

　This would be enough to defend the base for the time being.

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

　We decided to move out again.

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

　We move out from the base and start attacking.

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

　But not in the capital of the country.

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

　But other towns and villages.

　In an endurance war, food is a matter of life and death.

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

　No matter how safe a city is surrounded by walls and how much food is stockpiled, there is a limit.

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

　The strategy of this endurance war was to attack with food.

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

　We must thoroughly deprive them of food.

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

　We must do so on such a scale that the entire city would be annihilated by starvation.

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

　It needs to be fast.

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

　We need to go out and burn every place where rice is likely to be found.

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

　That's why Oliva and I went out with the cavalry.

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

　These days we finally have enough Valkyries.

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

　About three hundred of them will ride around the country of Bulgaria.

"Flame Thunder Arrows".

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

　And it was Oliva who showed the most strength in the burning.

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

　Oliva used a bow while mounted.

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

　The arrows shot from her bow were ordinary arrows, but they had a special effect.

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

　It was burning.

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

　Although they are ordinary arrows, they become flames and fly through the air, burning the target and other objects they hit.

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

"Is the spreading power of the arrows more powerful than before?"

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

Yes. The power of this [flame-thunder arrow] has increased considerably in the past few years. When it lands, it has more power to burn the opponent.

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

"Improved magic, huh? That's all well and good, but please make it into a spell. It would be more effective if we could all shoot arrows of fire together rather than increasing the spreading power of a single shot.

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

"Oh no, I'm sorry. I'm having more fun improving the [flame lightning arrow] than I thought I would, and it's not easy to make it a spell."

　Once there were archers who fought against the Orientals with the Hail Medium in the country of Glugaria.

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

　Among them was a magician who shot flaming arrows, but I defeated him and took his blood.

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

　That blood is now in Oliva's body.

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

　Oliva risked her life to replace the blood in her body.

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

　As a result, Oliva came into possession of a spell called flaming arrow, which was used by a stranger.

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

　She asked him to sublimate the magic to magic, but he has yet to accomplish this.

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

　Apparently, she has been trying to improve the effect of her magic.

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

　Every day I have watched Oliva shoot her flaming arrows, and her back has grown a size or two thanks to her efforts.

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

　So, I didn't mean to complain, but to make magic into magic, it is necessary to murmur a spell while reproducing certain effects.

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

　It would be difficult for magic to become magic if it keeps growing day by day.

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

　We burned away the food from Glugaria with a subtle feeling that Oliva's [Flame Lightning Arrow] would not become magic for a while yet, but we still had to admire the power of the arrows that burned the granaries of the various regions.
