Chapter 187 - Principles of Action

"Hey, Ars. You got a minute?"

"What's the matter, Baito-nii?"

"Don't you ever use this trap again."

"Hmm? Why not? I think it's quite useful because it's efficient in killing the opponent. Well, it's a double-edged sword because it could cause damage to the slime as well."

"It's not like that. We couldn't get any of the equipment they were using. The mamono in the lake has melted them down and the equipment is now all useless."

"Oh, yeah, that's right. How'd you notice that amidst the battle's adrenaline?"

"Of course I did. After all, for many soldiers participating in battle, a prize they can get is the equipment of their felled opponents, but they were denied that. That's true in any battle, whether the one at Paramea or in this battle."

"I see. That's how it is. I understand. I'll save attacking with the slime for later. Thanks for the tip, nii-san."

"Un, and be careful."

　I see. Does this mean that people will not accept a substitute prize since they risked their lives to fight?

　It's in the past now, but I had a lot of trouble trying to buy metal weapons for myself.

　Even if they were blunt, it would make a big difference in their earnings if the soldiers could take away opponents' weapons.

　Besides, after using it myself, I think it would be best not to use the slime trap.

　After all, the scene is gruesome, and quite so.

　I witnessed the movement of the slime as it targeted and melted people who got caught in the trap.

　It is indeed unpleasant to see a half-melted human body left behind.

　It would be better not to use that slime too much.

"What were you planning to do with the slime?"

"Well, I've been considering it in various ways. But it might be a little too dangerous. I can't use it because it might melt people and buildings in Barcania."

　When I first heard that the slime played a role in the defense of the so-called impregnable water fortress, Paramea, I thought, "What the hell is that? It must be quite weak since it's a slime."

　However, the slime in this world is a terrifying creature, and the first time I saw its damage, I realized just how troublesome it was.

　By then, the water level had already been lowered.

　But the slime had literally devoured the fortress.

　Incidentally, even after the water had receded, there were still puddles of water and slime left in them.

　When I saw it, I thought to myself, "Could it be that this Slime had destroyed the fortress?"

　I thought that maybe I could use this slime for something.

　So I made a glass container for the gelatinous monster lurking in the puddle and kept it there.

　The first thing that came to mind as a way to use the slime was to put it in the moat I had built around my castle.

　That alone would increase the defensive power many times over.

　But then again.

　What would happen if the slime came out of the moat when it rained heavily and the water increased?

　What if the same devastation that happened in Paramea could happen in my castle?

　When I think about it, it might be difficult to make use of slime.

"But it's strange, isn't it? Why are slimes only found in Lake Paramaea? Since the rivers are connected, it wouldn't have been strange to see them upstream or downstream."

"That's true. Maybe there's a reason why slimes can only live in Lake Paramaea."

"I'm not sure if that means it's difficult to utilize slimes, in any case. Well, if so, they're no use. But the problem is the Uruk army. What do you think they'll do after this, Leon?"

"If you think about it normally, I think they will retreat. But ......"

"Do you think they'll give up and come after me again? In that case, I might have to use this trap again."

"It's not likely that they'll be lured out again. But if there is such an overwhelming victory or defeat, there is also the problem of mentality. I'm not sure if the Uruk army will retreat calmly, or if they want to return after achieving even just one good battle result. I think it will depend on how the other side thinks."

"It's a matter of mentality, huh. You can't read their movements if they might decide their policies based on emotional thinking rather than logical action. Okay, I get it. For now, let's stop messing with them and see what happens. Let's just wait and see."

"That's right, Ars-sama."

　The problem of "manly pride" which causes unexpected behavior.

　I've been forced to move by it at times too.

　Or rather, it was the cause of this uproar.

　After all, the knight from the neighboring territory said he was going to take Lilina from me.

　In that case, I had to be more conscious of the eyes of the people around me than letting myself cool down.

　If I were to be lenient when my wife was about to be "taken", I would be lambasted by those around me and lose their trust.

　From my position as the head of the Barca Knights' Domain, I had no choice but to react harshly to that comment.

　In other words, if you lose face, you lose credibility as a knight, as a leader, and as a nobleman, and you can't maintain your previous position.

　What about the Uruk army this time?

　Normally, it would be natural for them to retreat if they incurred this much damage.

　The Arbalest forces, which had invaded in concert, had already been defeated.

　However, it's a different story if our allies might give up on us if we retreat here.

　Although we lost a lot of knights and the soldiers who followed them, the Uruk army that still surrounded Fort Einrad is still larger.

　I decided to wait and see how the other side would move, building a position with trepidation.
