Chapter 137 - The Head of the House.

 

 "Ars-sama, are you alright? What happened to the Atmos warrior who pursued you?"

 

 

"Leon. We're fine. We killed him with the second trap, just like we wanted. I'm glad that you were able to stay in command and not get overwhelmed. Thank you."

 

 

"No, it's the least I can do."

 

 

"Don't be modest. Since we don't have many people who can command an army, I think that you’ve brilliantly compensated for that with your leadership of the troops, including the new recruits. So, what happened to the Uruk knights who were caught in the bottleneck trap?"

 

 

"Yes. It seems that the damage from the catapults was still heavy. Some of them were able to move, but the unit was devastated. However, the infantry unit eventually arrived from the rear, so we hit them with the remaining stones and retreated to avoid damage."

 

 

"Nice work, Leon."

 

 

"Hey, Ars. We defeated the Uruk knights and the giant. We can attack the enemy again now, can't we?"

 

 

"Hmmm... No, it's better not to. The knights that were there chased after us, but they aren't all of the Uruk's knights, and if you look at the bigger picture, you'll see that our numbers are still too different. It's too dangerous."

 

 

"But, Ars-sama, I think we need to check how the Uruk army will act in the future. I'm not sure if they're going to march straight into a situation where a lot of knights have been damaged. Maybe they'll retreat."

 

 

"So that if they're going to retreat, we might as well give chase, huh?"

 

 

"Yes, sir."

 

 

"All right, Nii-san. Leon, go with him. You can take the Horned Valkyries with you. But don't overdo it. It is only a reconnaissance, and if there is any movement that shows signs of them retreating, you may pursue them, but do not pursue them too much. Okay?"

 

 

"Oh, I'm on it, Ars."

 

 

"As I said, don't pursue them too much. Leon will keep an eye on you, Baito-nii."

 

 

"What are you going to do, Ars-sama?"

 

 

"I'm going to move back with the rest of the infantry. I want to report to Vargas and the others at Einrad that we have defeated the Titan."

 

 

"Understood."

 

 

　In this way, we succeeded in defeating the giant as I had originally intended, and so I decided to return to Fort Einrad.

 

 

　※　※　※

 

 

 

"So, you definitely killed that Titan, didn't you?"

 

 

"Yes, I did, but is there something on your mind, Peter-dono?"

 

 

"Of course. As is the case with knights, if you don't make sure you kill them, you're bound to encounter them again on the battlefield."

 

 

"...... What do you mean?"

 

 

"If a knight gets injured by you in the battlefield but survives, they can quickly get healed by Healing Magic at the Church and get back in the battle again. It's not uncommon to be confronted on the battlefield again if you neglected to finish the job..... You didn't seem to know that."

 

 

"Does that mean that the Uruk knights who were damaged by the bottleneck trap will be back soon? Wouldn’t Leon and Baito-nii be in danger then?"

"No, not necessarily. Basically, the only ones who can use Healing Magic are those in the position of bishop or higher in the church, and such people are not likely to be visiting the battlefield. This means that instead of our allies being in danger, it’s more likely that the enemies will retreat since they have to recover the devastated knights."

 

 

"I see...... So if I want to make my opponent retreat, is it better to half-kill him instead of killing him unnecessarily?"

 

 

"That's a scary thing to say, you know."

 

 

"Haha. Anyways, I completely forgot about the Healing magic. Leon had never been on the battlefield before either, so he might have been careless about it. Thanks for the advice."

 

 

"No, this is nothing to worry about. But still, it's hard to believe how that Titan fought just from listening to you. Was he really that strong?"

 

 

"Yes, I actually fought against it, and even I couldn't believe how strong it was, the warrior of Atmos. Do you think you could beat him, Peter-dono?"

 

 

"No, I don't think so. The only person in Fontana who can fight such a thing properly is Carlos-sama, I believe."

 

 

"...... Do you think Carlos-sama can defeat that giant?"

 

 

"To be honest, I can't tell if he can or not just by listening to your story. But I think he can at least stand a chance. I'm sure that Carlos-sama, as the head of the family, can use the magic of a higher rank than we can."

 

 

　I see.

 

 

　The giant who was so strong was apparently as strong as the head of the noble family that ruled the territory.

 

 

　Battles in this world are not just won by the greater number, a leader's might can also have a great impact on the war situation.

 

 

　The reason for this is simply that the more mana an individual knight possesses, the more his lord’s personal fighting ability increases due to the benefits of the Spiritual connection.

 

 

　However, there is another factor at play as well: the higher ranked magic.

 

 

　The head of the family might be able to use magic that consumes more mana than even knights, who have far more magic power than ordinary soldiers.

 

 

　It's not as strong as the magic of the royal family, which was once able to destroy an entire city with a single use of the spell, but the heads of the noble families can use magic that can have a huge impact on the battlefield.

 

 

　That's why the powerful knights follow the noble families.

 

 

　And, according to Peter, the warriors of Atmos are probably at a comparable level of skill.

 

 

"But then, wouldn’t some nobles be too strong to need an army ?"

 

 

"Not really. No matter how strong the head of a noble family like Carlos-sama is, he is only one person. For example, even if he captured this Einrad alone, it might be taken back by the Uruks if Carlos-sama is not here during the time he is on his way to conquer the northern cities. There will always be a need for soldiers and commanders to protect the various regions."

 

 

"Oh, I see. No matter how strong one person is, there will always be a need for others to rule and manage a territory. After all, it is also important to have at least a minimum number of people to protect many lands...."

 

 

But is Carlos really that strong?

 

 

Peter thinks that Carlos could at least face off the Titan one-on-one, so I wonder what kind of effect he could have on the battlefield.

 

 

　To be honest, I've been getting complacent just because I can use 「Wall Construction」, but now that I've seen existences like the Atmos warrior, I can't be so optimistic.

 

 

　At the very least, the wall built might need to be a little higher.

 

 

　Once again, I realized that it was time for me to think about the future.
