Chapter 183 - Bait.

"Oh, amazing~. There's a bunch of rocks flying from Fort Einrad."

"That's true. But it seems that the Uruk army is also attacking boldly. Apparently, both sides are still in a stalemate without a decisive move, Ars-sama."

"You think so too, Leon? It seems like they're both preserving their Head's strength."

"What are you going to do now? Do you have any ideas?"

"...... I was planning to go see Carlos-sama when I got here. But the Uruk army is surrounding the fort, so it's hard to get close. What should we do...?"

"There are less than a thousand men in the Barca-Graham army. I think it would be dangerous to break through the encirclement of the Uruk army and enter the fort."

"In that case, the only thing left to do is to attack from outside the encirclement, Leon. We can use the cavalry as the center of the attack, and do a hit-and-run."

"It's definitely not a bad idea, but I'd like to propose a different plan, Ars-sama."

"What do you have in mind, Leon?"

"Lure the Uruk forces to their deaths, as you did the last time you defeated them, sir."

"...... Don't tell me you're planning another night raid to trap them, Leon. I'm sure they're not so stupid as to be caught in a trap they've already been caught in. We've just defeated the Arbalest army, and if I risk dying here, you're finished, you know?"

　It was almost time we reached Fort Einrad, and I was riding ahead of the road on Valkyrie.

　Scouting.

　I wanted to see with my own eyes what the situation was like at Fort Einrad, where Carlos was.

　And Leon came along with me.

　I was talking with him while looking at the fort through binoculars from afar.

　It seems that the Uruk army has surrounded it and is waging a siege.

　Even so, the Fort Einrad which I have renovated will not be so easily defeated.

　After all, it has been firmly surrounded by [Atmos Wall].

　However, this also means that the Fontana army, led by Carlos, will not be able to attack.

　It was originally the defending side of a two-pronged strategy that was being attacked from the east and west, forcing Fontana to divide its forces.

　We could stay in the fort and defend, but We could not win.

　We were in such a stalemate.

　So, Leon and I exchanged opinions on how our forces could make a move.

　But in response to my reluctant but sure idea, Leon recommended a risky strategy.

　Is it really necessary to take such a risk?

"Listen, Ars-sama. The same situation as last time is being recreated this time. I think we should try to fish out the Uruk army to where the trap is waiting. In fact, this is the only chance we have."

"What do you mean, Leon? What situation being recreated?"

"Remember. Remember why the last night raid against the Uruks was so successful."

"What do you mean, "remember" and "why"? The only thing I can think of is that we were able to prepare a good trap and that the Valkyries were useful..."

"I think that was also a factor in our success. But the most important factor was that you showed them something that the Uruk family could not overlook."

"...... Well, that was the Nine-tailed Sword. The Uruk knights saw it and pursued after us without warning, right?"

"That's right. In that situation, the other party had the option of just maintaining a vigilant stance without chasing us once they prevented the night attack. However, they were beautifully lured by the bait called the Nine-tailed Sword. The trap was effective, but the biggest reason for Uruk's defeat was that they were baited by the sword."

"In other words, you're thinking of trying to draw out our opponent by showing off their prized possession again, this time. Are you sure it will work well?"

"No, the sword alone may not be enough to catch the same amount of fish as last time. We need even better bait."

"Even better bait? Is there such a thing, Leon?"

"Yes, Ars-sama... You. The sight of you will surely be enough bait for the current Uruk army."

"Wanna come with me to that corner over there, Leon...? I promise it won't hurt... Are you really thinking of using me as bait?"

"I'm sorry, Ars-sama, that was not the right way to put it. But it is true that you can attract Uruk forces."

"I don't care about that, though. I want Kyle and Leon to be more considerate of me. But why must I be the bait?"

"Think about it. Think about the purpose of the Uruk army. They have secretly communicated with Arbalest in the west and carried out a plan to pincer us from the east and west."

"That's right. And?"

"But that operation has now failed. The Arbalest family who was on their side was defeated. Moreover, that information has already spread around. It is impossible for the Uruk army to be completely ignorant of it."

"That's right. It's probably impossible that they don't know that the Arbalests were defeated. Even the villagers we encountered coming here knew about it."

"Yes. However, the Uruk army is still staying in this land for some reason, even though the operation should have failed. Even though they had time to easily withdraw their troops to avoid further damage. Why do you think that is?"

"Could it be that they were waiting for ...... us to come?"

"Yes, sir. To be precise, I would say Ars-sama. A year ago, in the battle for Einrad Hill, Ars von Barca, the now-sworn enemy of the Uruk family, defeated the Uruk family's son and his cavalry and made the Uruk reinforcements unable to continue their operations overnight. That very same person, the head of the Barca family, defeated the Arbalests and headed east. The reason why they dare to continue waiting in this situation... it can only mean that they are aiming for your head, Ars-sama."

"Seriously? There are people in this world who really want my head, eh... such a restless bunch..."

"If you were to appear with the Nine-tailed Sword, what move do you think our opponent would make?"

"... They would probably be seriously chasing after me. Even more of a priority than encircling the fort."

"Yes, this is the reason why you are the best bait. This is the only chance. The first time is the only time that the Uruk army will definitely be baited. In other words, there is a chance of victory here."

"I see. I see. You're talking about setting up a trap because you know for sure what the opponent's next move will be. Okay, I get it. I'll be the bait, Leon."

"Thank you, Ars-sama. Now, let's get ready."

　What Leon said was not wrong.

　But I'm afraid to expose myself to someone who is so resentful and waiting for me.

　However, I will have to do it.

　Even if I escaped here, without Carlos as my guarantor, I would be in trouble at some point anyway.

　So, I had no choice but to think that the situation was as good as a fateful chance.

　Thus, I decided to set a trap for the Uruk army for the second time.
