Chapter 181 - Immediately After the Decisive Battle

"Oh, I thought I was going to die."

"Thank you for your hard work, Ars-sama. It seems you have successfully defeated the head of the Arbalest house."

"Ah, Leon. I was just acting as you said — the soldiers near the Head were really thin. I couldn't let that chance pass me by. But I was scared as hell."

"I couldn't see the spell clearly from inside the castle here, but it had an incredible sound. I think that Arbalest's [Distant Lightning] was as powerful as the rumors said. However, WE defeated that Arbalest, Ars-sama."

"Well, in the end, yeah. But I don't want to be asked to do it again, you know. I don't want to go through that scary stuff again."

　The Arbalest family of the west came to pincer attack the Fontana territory in coordination with the Uruk family of the east.

　In order to intercept the Arbalest's army, I decided to attack rather than defend.

　However, I didn't have any concrete plan, and all I could come up with was to randomly enter the Arbalest territory and run amok causing havoc.

　However, upon hearing the idea I had proposed, Rion came up with a more concrete plan.

　First, he read the situation of the Arbalest family.

　He thought that the 8,000-strong marching army would probably include the head of the family because he would be required to fight Carlos, the head of the Fontana family.

　And in order for us, the outnumbered Fontana camp, to achieve our goal, we decided that we should aim to crush the opponent's Leader.

　However, even if we thought about it normally, we would not be able to win if we clashed with the head of the family since he would be too protected and strong.

　So what to do?

　Isolate the main camp where Arbalest's head is, and launch a surprise attack on the camp to take him out with a single blow.

　This was the scheme that Leon had devised.

　In order to bring about this development, we attacked Paramea, a fortress on the water that was said to be impregnable, built a castle on the border of the territory to draw the attention of the opponents and deliberately make them attack, and scattered the stone-throwers I commanded to operate outside the castle in advance, before anything new happened.

　If any one of those strategies had failed, the whole plan would be ruined, and we would not only lose but the Fontana territory would be defeated.

　But in the end, everything seemed to have turned out exactly as Leon had envisioned.

　I wouldn't have been able to do this on my own.

　But you know what?

　There was a big hole in Leon's plan.

　There was no way to defeat the head of the Arbalest family.

　He wanted to isolate the head of the family and lead me to that monster.

　The plan was to just throw me in there and let me take care of the rest.

　And if you ask me, he has an offensive spell that uses lightning that I couldn't even think of a way to defend against.

　To put it bluntly, we all thought that we would not be able to win unless we were lucky enough to attack them while they were unprotected, without their scouts or the camp noticing our cavalry.

　Well, however, it worked out in the end.

　Based on my knowledge from my previous life, lightning is more likely to strike a tall pole like the one on top of a skyscraper, so I came up with the idea of using [Atmos Wall] as a lightning rod.

　With a height of 50 meters, lightning might be more likely to strike there.

　It was just an idea.

　In the first place, since it was a magic attack, there was a possibility that the lightning would strike exactly where the opponent aimed.

　　However, luckily, it seemed that the higher-level spell of the Arbalest family, [Distant Lightning], although it has the power of attack, is not able to unleash such a precise attack.

　　He seemed to be aiming roughly, and I was glad that my luck had not run out when I saw it hit the [Atmos Wall] that the horned Valkyries had created using magic as they jumped away from the approaching cavalry.

　It was a spur-of-the-moment plan that I couldn't even verify beforehand if it worked or not, but it luckily worked, and I succeeded in my assault on the main camp.

"But the timing of Ars-sama's cavalry assault was superb. It would have been difficult for the opponent to respond to such perfect timing."

"Thanks to Billy. Thanks to him, I was able to get in touch with you and the others at the castle."

　Then I looked at the bird perched on my shoulder.

　It's not a very big bird.

　But this bird was no ordinary bird.

　It was actually a Familiar that had hatched from one of the Familiar eggs that Billy was doing research on.

　Billy's research is to create a Familiars that is capable of producing Familiar eggs.

　This research had yet to bear fruit and had not even succeeded in producing a normal Magic-type.

　However, there were Familiars that were not Magic-types, but were fast runners, and they were being used in the race track. Not only that but there were other types as well.

　At first glance, this small bird looks like any ordinary bird.

　Even after it hatched and grew, it did not get any bigger.

　However, it was definitely different from ordinary birds.

　After all, it was a Familiar.

　The new castle that had been built between the two rivers, the one that Leon was bastioning himself in, had sent me a letter using this avian messenger.

　When most of the forces of the Arbalest had gathered at the castle, the bird came to me with a piece of paper tied to it, telling me to return to the Arbalest territory as we were moving westward.

　After we stopped moving westward and came back in a hurry, I received a letter from Leon again.

　The bird had sent me a piece of paper that said, "Opportunity" just as the Arbalest army was attacking New Castle with an all-out assault and their main camp's defenses were thinned out.

　The bird seems to have recognized my scent.

　Or rather, it seemed that Leon had ordered it to follow my scent after smelling the clothes I had left behind for him to use.

　To be honest, I wondered if it would be more useful than a carrier pigeon from Earth.

　Thus, with a signal from Leon who was at a distance, I was able to launch an attack on the enemy's main camp at the perfect time.

"Hey, Ars, look at this. It's a magic sword. The head of the Arbalest has it."

"Thunder Sword, right? I'm glad I was able to defeat him before he used it."

"Ars, do you mind if I go after the rest of them?

No, but don't go too far, Baito-nii. And keep an eye on the surroundings."

"Yeah, I got it. I'll be going, then."

"Be careful."

　I made an assault on the camp and took out the head of the Arbalests, I immediately got the victory and then attacked the enemy forces attacking the castle.

　The other side was wanting to pin down the Fontana territory, but they probably didn't expect to be pinned down by us at this point.

　Our opponent was more numerous, but the fact that their leader was killed and the fact that they couldn't move due to the river put them completely on the back foot.

　As a result, it seems that they suffered many times more damage than we did, and we succeeded in defeating them in a scattered manner.

　That's why I can afford to talk to Leon at the castle like this and give instructions to my older brother.

"I think I can breathe easy now.... and maybe take a break?"

"What are you talking about? It's not over yet, Ars-sama."

"What do you mean, Leon? We've defeated the Arbalest head, so we've achieved our goal, right?"

"No, sir. This time, the Uruk family and the Arbalest family teamed up with each other, causing an unprecedented crisis in the Fontana territory. And it hasn't been resolved yet."

"Are you suggesting that we fight the House of Uruk as well, Leon? I was only ordered by Carlos-sama to suppress the invasion of the Arbalest..."

"You're right, but if Carlos-sama were to die right now, it would be Ars-sama who would be in the most trouble. The reason we were even attacked by allied territories was because of you, remember?"

"...... That's certainly troubling. The world is full of enemies all around..."

"So it is. The Arbalest family has lost many soldiers in addition to having their leader killed. They shouldn't take any more immediate action. Let's head east, Ars-sama."

"All right, Leon. It's just a little rust on my part, isn't it? I guess I'll just have to atone for my sins..."

　I thought I had risked my life to defeat the Arbalest army, but it seems this is not the end.

　Thus, I began to prepare to move on to the next battlefield.
