Chapter 135 - Trap

 

"How are things going, nii-san?"

 

"Oh, we're fine. The giant is here. But the knights of Uruk are also chasing us with their mounts. What are you going to do, Ars?"

 

"Let's keep up the speed so that the infantry won’t be able to catch up, this much should be a success."

 

　In the late hours of midnight, the Barca troops, who had launched a night attack on the Uruk army position, were fleeing from the enemy camp.

 

　I had thought that it might be possible to kill the titan by making use of this attack, but he was much stronger than I had expected.

 

　If even the Nine-tailed sword was not able to kill him then nothing I could do would’ve killed him, at least not in a one-on-one fight.

 

　If that was the case, I would have to lead it into a trap.

 

　However, there was one problem there, being the knights of Uruk chasing us alongside the giant.

 

　I knew that their existence would reduce our chances of success, but there was no way that we could lure out the giant all by himself.

 

　However, I also didn't expect so many Uruk knights to pursue us.

 

　Apparently, it was because they noticed that I was holding the Nine-tailed sword, which seems to be very important to them.

 

　They were chasing me with bloodshot eyes, shouting angrily as they straddled their cavalry.

 

　But I think this is a good thing since they’re leaving the infantry behind and chasing after us alongside the giant. We might be able to trap more than just the giant.

 

"It's about time. I'm counting on you, Leon."

 

　The scene continued for a while, with Barca's cavalry continuing to flee and Uruk's horsemen and giants in pursuit.

 

　When the Uruk infantry were sufficiently distanced by the chase, the target point came into view.

 

　It was a so-called bottleneck, a narrow road between elevated cliffs on both sides.

 

　Naturally, when a group of people passes through there, the shape of the group is narrowed down from the front like threading a needle through a hole.

 

　The Valkyries ran through this bottleneck, and the knights and giants of Uruk chased after us.

 

"Now's the time! Build a wall!".

 

　As the Valkyrie cavalry ran while being chased by the Uruk cavalry, Leon's voice rang out.

 

　As if on cue, a ten-meter high wall appeared on the narrow road

 

　Barca's soldiers, who had been positioned alongside the road, ran out and used their 「Wall Construction」 magic.

 

　The wall was tall, but it was also thick.

 

　It was reliable enough to withstand the big boars that were known for their rushing power back home, and its strength had been proven again when we had fought the Uruk cavalry.

 

　Two walls appeared both in front and behind the pursuing Uruks, completely surrounding them due to the road being narrow 

 

"Catapults, fire!"

The pursuers were completely at the mercy of the wall that suddenly appeared in front of them.

 

The ones in the lead crashed into the wall, the ones who saw it stopped suddenly but were crushed by the ones coming from behind, and even those who were not crushed ended up being stuck.

 

The dark surroundings made it even more difficult to grasp the situation.

Stones were hurled from both sides of the road. They were thrown by catapults that I had created with magic after I had decided to lure them into this bottleneck and attack them.

 

It was a strong weapon that could be built anywhere as long as you had the finishing materials, particularly since the construction of the catapult using bricks would not include things like ropes.

 

　Initially, the catapult was built as a defensive device for the fort, but we decided to put it into use in this situation seeing that the enemy is unable to move.

 

　And it wasn't just stones that were released by the catapults.

 

　This time, we used harder-than-usual Hardened Bricks that I had created using a large boar tusk and a Valkyrie horn.

 

This is the reason why the Uruk's pursuing troops have nowhere to go.

 

In order to make up for the weakness of the slow reloading, I had prepared a good number of the catapults, and so, the Hardened Bricks were pouring down like rain.

 

"How's it going?"

 

"Gaaaaaahhhh."

 

"...... Seriously. He won’t die even if we hit them with Hardened Bricks with that much force?"

 

　The traps we’ve prepared were obviously helpful since the knights of Uruk who were riding the cavalry dragons were indeed unable to prevent this attack.

 

　「Beastalization」 increases physical abilities to detect a surprise attack or allows one to use fire magic, but it was probably unable to prevent a rain of Hardened Bricks with destructive physical power.

 

　Numerous knights were slumped on the narrow, inescapable road.

 

　But the giant that stood out among them was different.

 

　He was wounded by the Hardened Bricks thrown by the catapults, but it seems he is still alive.

 

"That's bullshit. A ten-meter wall isn't much of an obstacle for him, is it?"

 

　Then I was presented with an even more shocking scene.

 

　The sudden appearance of the wall brought the giant to a temporary halt, but he was able to reach the top of the wall and climb over.

 

　Even though the wall was twice as tall as he was, he pulled himself up with his hands, stretched out his legs, and hooked those legs to the top of the wall to lift his entire body.

 

　The giant then reached the top of the wall and looked around.

 

"It's not good, Leon and the others might be targeted. ...... Hey, over here, big guy!"

 

　I immediately raised the Nine-Tailed Sword in my hand above my head and infused it with mana.

 

　As if with a gurgling sound, a flame sword appeared from the sword.

 

　The eyes of the giant that had been looking around caught me.

 

　The sun hadn't even come up yet, and the surroundings were dark, and so the flaming sword which had already hurt him stood out.

 

　I was right in my judgment.

 

　The giant looked at me and ran towards me, ignoring the Barca soldiers around him.

 

"Shouldn't a 10-meter wall stop him?"

 

"You can't afford to dawdle like that now, Ars. Come on, let's get out of here."

 

"I know, nii-san. But I guess I can say that the trap was useful. We managed to get the Titan alone as I had originally intended."

 

　The trap we had prepared was not enough to defeat the giant even though it did deal a heavy blow to the Uruk knight's cavalry that pursued with the giants, and also slowed the progress of the infantry that followed.

 

　If that was the case, all that was left to do was to deal with that stubborn giant, and this battle would be over.

 

　Thus, the fight against the Titan entered the second round.
