Chapter 141 - The Head of the Family is Troubled

 

-- Carlos PoV--

 

 

"Carlos-sama, the northern city of Vilma is in sight."

 

 

"Hmm. How is the detachment doing?"

 

 

" Huh. It seems that they are attacking Vilma, but they haven't achieved any significant results yet. When we decided to join them, we informed them not to push themselves too hard, so they are currently maintaining their position around the city."

 

 

"Good. When we get to the position, we will have a military meeting. Tell everyone to gather around."

 

 

"Yes."

 

 

　After uniting Fontana last year, I moved to retake Einrad Hill, which had been out of our hands for years.

 

 

　It's a land that has never been retaken ever since it was taken from us back when I was much younger than I am now.

 

 

　This meant that I would do what Raymond had been unable to do with the Fontana Family he had put together.

 

 

　If I stumbled here, I might be questioned about my position as the head of the Fontana family and might allow people similar to Raymond to rise to power.

 

 

　This mission to retake Einrad Hill cannot fail.

 

 

　I put my life on the line for this mission.

 

 

　But as it turned out, it went much more smoothly than I expected.

 

 

　It was because of him.

 

 

　He is the man who suddenly appeared last year, and who is now related to me by a kinship, Ars von Barca.

 

 

　In order to retake Einrad Hill, I ordered him to go ahead and build a camp and a road leading to the fort.

 

 

　That was all I ordered him to do.

 

 

　However, he ended up getting into a battle with the Uruk cavalry as soon as he arrived at the fort.

 

 

　The general idea is that a unit of cavalry has an overwhelming influence on the battlefield, and the House of Uruk had a force of nearly 1000 cavalrymen positioned at Fort Einrad.

 

 

　That's why I ordered Ars to build a camp, this way the walls he excels at building would protect our camp from any cavalry raids.

 

 

　That was supposed to be the plan...

 

 

　However, as it turned out, the Uruk cavalry tried to seize the initiative by attacking our advance units and faced complete annihilation at the hands of Ars.

 

 

　Furthermore, the first battle ended with the unbelievable result of almost no damage to the Barca army.

 

 

　When we received the report, most of us, including myself, thought that there had been a mistake.

 

 

　However, there was nothing wrong with the report, it had indeed ended in an overwhelming victory for the Barca forces.

 

 

　Then came the battle for Einrad Hill.

 

 

　Ars, who had done a great job in the first battle, was given only the task of building a position, and the rest of us went to battle.

 

 

　All the knights were working hard and trying to show me their abilities.

 

 

　However, it was Ars and the rest of the Barca army that stood out the most.

　While we were attacking the hill, they had built a wall around the entire hill.

 

 

　In addition, they knew in advance that enemy reinforcements were coming to the hill to rescue the defenders and they fought against them to keep the reinforcements away.

 

 

　I want to ask.. who told them to go that far?

 

 

　Although Ars doesn't try to claim any rewards, no matter how you look at it, it has become impossible to ignore him because of his great merits in the battle for Einrad Hill.

 

 

　If I ignore his work, people will say that I'm someone who can't give his retainers a fair evaluation.

 

 

　It might be a bit misleading to call this a strategy, but I decided to do something about this situation in case the battle for the hill ended smoothly.

 

 

　I decided to leave Einrad Hill to Ars, and let the rest of the army go to the north to capture the city.

 

 

　Well, I'm sure he'll be fine.

 

 

　If he and his troops can fortify the hill with their signature wall-building, they can definitely hold the territory for a while.

 

 

　In the meantime, we should capture the city to the north.

 

 

　If we can hold Einrad Hill and Vilma in the north, we will be able to put a lot of pressure on the Uruk Territory.

 

 

　If that happens, it will be the best war result ever and it would also be a most successful demonstration of my power as the head of the family.

 

 

"Have we all gathered? We will now have a military discussion regarding the capture of the northern city of Vilma. First, each of you should express your thoughts."

 

 

　In this way, I set out to conquer the northern city.

"Wait a minute, what did you just say? Didn't the scouts report that they had discovered Uruk's reinforcements just the other day? "

 

 

"Hai. I'll tell you again. The Barca army led by Ars von Barca-sama has conducted a night raid on an estimated 5,000 Uruk troops. They set up a trap on the Xillia Road and succeeded in taking out a large number of knights. Afterward, it was confirmed that the Uruk forces had retreated to the second-largest city in the Uruk Territory."

 

 

"They defeated an army of five thousand, really? Are you sure that they intercepted the Uruk army on the Xillia Road"

 

 

"Yes, sir. I'm sure."

 

 

"I see. What was he thinking going out to such a place, that guy?"

 

 

　The Xillia Road is located northeast of Einrad Hill, the place where Ars is supposed to be defending.

 

 

　Naturally, I had the topography of the area in my mind as well.

 

 

　But did they really go to such a place to intercept the Uruk army?

 

 

　The Xillia Road must be farther away than the distance from Einrad Hill to Vilma.

 

 

　Why would the guy who was supposed to be in charge of defending the hill have to rush out to such a place to repel them? I mean, seeing how they were advancing they might have been attempting to attack us rather than Einrad Hill.

 

 

　If we had intercepted them, it would not have been very helpful.

 

 

"I see that Peter is still in Einrad. Have him report back to us. Send someone to Xillia Road for direct confirmation. If the reinforcements have really retreated, there is no better chance than this. As soon as you get confirmation, make a big announcement to the surrounding area. Make sure to dampen the spirits of those who are defending the city."

 

 

　In this way, the battle for the northern city, which had been going back and forth, was greatly changed by Ars, and Fontana came closer to victory.

 

 

.... What is a befitting prize for Ars in this battle?

 

 

　It is very difficult to choose a suitable reward for the Barca troops led by Ars, so I decided to devise a plan.
