Chapter 172: 175

Chapter 175 - In Order to Protect

"So Leon is going west with Barca. Wait, should I call you Rion-dono....?"

"I'll call you Ars-sama as I always have."

"Oh, okay. Well then, keep up the good work, Leon. So, with Barca and the other knights, the allied forces will number about 1500, do you think this will be enough?"

"It's hard to say because we don't know the total number of the Arbalest family coming from the west yet. But we will definitely be at a numerical disadvantage."

"That's right. What do you think about Carlos-sama who's heading east? Is he okay over there?"

"I don't know. The fight with the Uruk family will probably be a little better off because of last year's losses, but I think there is a high possibility that they will be at a numerical disadvantage."

"Hmm. Isn't this a bit of a dead-end to be honest? It seems like everything's over when you're being pinned down by two different noble families at the same time."

"The reason for this is probably Ars-sama. And I'm not sure how you can say that after all the trouble you caused..."

"I can't help it! It's no wonder. I just took the option I was forced to by the situation, and this happened! It's all his fault! The young knight who provoked me, whatever his name is!"

"I am troubled by Ruffin-dono as well, but it is not good to speak ill of someone who has already passed away. So, what do you plan to do now, Ars-sama?"

"What am I going to do? We're going to have to fight them, aren't we? With the army led by the nobleman Arbalest who's coming this way."

"I see. Then let's make preparations for that as soon as possible. The first thing we should do is to find out how many enemies there are and quickly decide where to intercept them and create a position."

"Huh?"

"...... Is there a problem, Ars-sama?"

"No, I was just wondering if you were planning to intercept House Arbalest....."

"Yes?"

"It's dangerous. I don't want to die, neither should you."

"What are you talking about, Ars-sama? You're not going to disobey Carlos-sama's orders and run away somewhere, are you? That's not a good idea. I do not agree with that idea at all!"

"No, no, no, I don't mean that, Leon. What I'm saying is that there's no need to go out of your way to intercept the Arbalest family. The only order I received from Carlos-sama was to stop the invasion of the House of Arbalest. That means I should just stop them from attacking, right?"

"Perhaps, Ars-sama. What you're thinking of is NOT being defensive?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying, Leon. Let's attack the Arbalest family from here. If we can stir up their territory and make them less inclined to touch Fontana's territory, that should be enough."

　I've been talking to Leon, the new head of the family next to the Barca knight territory, as we move around.

　He had been ordered by Carlos to start moving immediately.

　The Barca army and the newly made Graham family had hurriedly gathered troops and were moving to be part of the knight family located on the border of the territory with the Arbalest family further west.

　However, on the way there, Leon and I seemed to be at odds with each other about this mission.

　Could it be that Leon was planning to build a walled camp on the border of the Fontana and Arbalest territories and siege them?

　It's not that it can't be done, but I just can't see myself wanting to do that.

　After all, even the Fontana army led by Carlos, which would be the main force, might be at a numerical disadvantage to the Uruk family.

　It would be too scary for us to fortify our defense in a situation where there would be no reinforcements to help us.

　There was a chance that it might work, but there was an equally high chance that it would fail.

　If that's the case, I'd rather go on the offensive than on the defensive.

　I want to go on the offensive and cause damage to the Arbalest family.

　If it goes well and they retreat, then we can fortify our defense.

"That's how it should be! You know exactly what you're doing, don't you, Ars?"

"Baito-nii. You look happy..."

"Of course I am! Why are you having a fight while I'm not here, Ars? That's not fair."

"It's not that I wanted to fight, you know. I just had to, given the circumstances."

"Bullshit. When we heard that you had attacked the neighboring knight territory, everyone was in an uproar, thinking that you had finally done it. There is no one who loves war more than you!"

"Don't joke about it, Baito-nii. I'm basically a pacifist. I just want to live in peace and not fight!"

"All right, all right. But you know what? I heard that you didn't hesitate to fight for your woman. Sometimes I don't know what you're thinking, but I understand now that you're a man too."

"That's true. I'm sure you're right, but there are many people who think like me. If I had been lenient there, there would have been no one left to follow me even in my own territory."

"Of course not. If you can't protect your own woman, how can you protect your friends? So, where are you going to attack this time? I'll be following you closely this time, Ars!"

"No, to be honest, I haven't thought about it at all. I mean, I don't really know much about the Arbalest territory. Isn't there a place where it's easy to attack at the opponent's vital point, and if attacked, the opponent can't ignore it, but it's also easy to take over?"

"I'd like to say, 'Of course not,' but there is one place where Ars-sama might be able to do that."

"Oh, there is such a place? What kind of place is it?"

"It's the fortress Paramea. It's called the impregnable fortress of the Arbalest family, and it has a reputation that has never been breached since Paramea was built."

"...... I don't think it's going to be easy to take over, no matter how you look at it. Well, let's put it on the list for now. Are you two ready?"

"Yes."

"Yes."

　In this way, the time for the interception battle against the approaching Arbalest was getting closer and closer.
