Chapter 131 - Retreat

 

 

 

 

"Spread out! Throw the Molotov cocktails!"

 

 

　I quickly gave this order when I saw something huge attacking us  

 

 

　The cavalry, which had been running as a single unit, split off to the left and right and threw Molotov cocktails at it, though it seems that there was no effect.

 

 

　The Molotov cocktails were originally prepared to burn food and tents, but they were a primitive way of spreading oil to make the fire go around better, and so the fire did little damage since it was not concentrated on our foe.

 

 

"What the hell, really? Really? Giants? They exist?"

 

 

　I stared at the enemy that escaped the Molotov cocktail attack.

 

 

　It definitely had the shape of a human being, but the size was not that of a normal human, probably about four to five meters tall.

 

 

　Seeing the silhouette at first, I wondered if it was some kind of magical weapon like a golem.

 

 

　However, the fire spread by the Molotov cocktails made the surroundings brighter, negating that idea.

 

 

　what appeared was an enlarged version of a man, no matter how you looked at it. It had hair on its head and skin just like a human.

 

 

　The giant was holding a log that was too big for normal humans to handle, it probably used it to attack us earlier. Contrary to what one would expect, the giant’s attacks with the logs were neither clumsy nor slow at all.

 

 

　The sheer strength generated by the size of the log caused devastating damage on contact with nearby tents or fences. A person would be in great danger if this attack manages to hit them

 

 

"Hey, Ars. What are we going to do? The beastmen are gathering. We'll be surrounded if we continue like this."

 

 

　While I was observing the giant, my nii-san approached me and informed me of the situation.

 

 

　It seems that the knights of the Uruk family are gathering here while using their magic.

 

 

　With that, I took another look at the surroundings.

 

 

"There seems to be no other giants? ....... Okay, Baito-nii, we're retreating."

 

 

"Hey, are you sure? We haven't achieved anything yet."

 

 

"It doesn’t matter. We need to avoid getting surrounded since our numbers are no match for them."

 

 

"I understand. We’ll retreat. Throw the remaining bottles as you see fit."

 

 

　The night attack was a complete failure.

 

 

　Despite that, I think that the info we managed to gather was a good harvest.

 

 

　We now know that the beastification magic increases the enemy’s ability to perceive the surroundings. We also know that they have a giant at their disposal. These pieces of information are good to know before the upcoming fight.

"I was wondering... What's with that Titan? Do some noblemen have the magic to turn themselves into giants? Do you know anything about it, Leon?"

 

 

"...... a Titan? I've never thought that such creatures existed, nor do I think that there's magic that makes a person giant."

 

 

"I agree with Leon-dono. I don't think any of the other noblemen had magic that could be applied to oneself to become a giant."

 

 

" Is it possible that there are people who are born that big, like a race of giants?"

 

 

"Ars, I don't think so. You even used binoculars with me to observe the enemy camp, and I swear I didn't see anything that big at that time."

"Yes, you're right, nii-san. I'm sure one of us would have noticed such a thing if it had been there. What could it be in this case?"

 

 

　After the failed night attack, we returned to Fort Einrad in a straight line.

 

 

　Honestly, we had enough provisions to go for another raid and sure, initially it would’ve been a good idea to exhaust the enemy by doing guerilla tactics but.. The existence of that titan made the idea too risky.

 

 

　I was curious about what that Titan was, but I was also curious about where it came from.

 

 

　From what I had heard about the Uruk family from Carlos and Leon, I hadn't heard about the existence of any giants.

 

 

　Since that was the case, I wondered if another noble family might have intervened. it might not be a battle between the Fontana and Uruk families alone.

 

 

　If possible, I would like to ask for Carlos's instructions.

 

 

　However, Leon and Peacha, who knew more about the magic of other families than I did, had never even heard of giants.

 

 

The giant had to be enlarged magically however, since neither I nor my brother were able to spot it earlier

 

 

　What the hell could it be ?

"It's probably a warrior of Atmos, degozaru."

 

 

"Gran? Do you know something about it?"

 

 

"That giant is probably a warrior of Atmos. I'm sure of it, degozaru."

 

 

"Wait a minute, Gran-san. I've never heard of a house called Atmos."

 

 

"Leon-dono, the warriors of Atmos are not nobles, degozaru, as they are mercenaries who think that working as mercenaries in various battlefields is their purpose in life and their pride."

 

 

"There are such people? But, Gran, we don't seem to have ever heard of it."

 

 

"That may be so, degozaru. The warriors of Atmos are not from this land. They live further east than here.

 

 

"East? I've heard that there is a great snow mountain to the east of the Uruk territory that people can't cross. Is that true?"

 

 

"It is true, Ars-dono. Didn't I tell you before, that I am also from the East?"

 

 

　When I first met Gran, who spoke differently from other people, I think I had asked him if he was from the East.

 

 

　However, if you think about it, to the east of the Fontana territory there is the House of Uruk, and further east there is a high mountain that is said to reach the heavens, so normally, if you were to say you were from the east, first thing that would come to mind is being from the Uruk territory

 

 

　However, Gran was not from there.

 

 

　This area is a land protected by a natural barrier, a land that has been ruled by the royal family since the first king founded the country.

 

 

　But outside of that, there are other countries.

 

 

　A world outside of which there is little interaction.

 

 

　Perhaps Gran is from there.

 

 

　And the information about the Titans that only Gran knows.

 

 

　Does that mean that the mysterious giant also uses magic foreign to us?

 

 

　Surprised by the sudden revelation, I decided to ask Gran more about the giants.

 

 

CadmarLegend Editor’s note: sorry for the lack of updates, my laptop charger completely gave out. Originally I thought it was the laptop itself that started going haywire because the charging indicator would blink every time the performance exceeded a certain threshold and the laptop would stop charging, so after getting finding time to go to a technician i was told that the charger was the problem and that I needed to order one and the whole process took around 20 days and i got slapped with a good 70 euros to pay as well. Well, on the bright side I didn't end up needing to repair the laptop.. 

 

 

To make up for that, I’ve went through 14 chapters and i’ll make use of this vacation week to keep enough stockpile to maintain regular updates in case something like that happens in the future
