Chapter 188 - Uruk's Actions

"What's going on over there?"

"Yes. The Barka-Graham army launched a night attack against our forces. The troops left the camp in pursuit of the fleeing Barca-Graham soldiers but were later defeated. It seems that the enemy has stopped moving there and is building a new position."

"I see. Barca seems to be a troublesome bunch."

"Ah... Last year, it was Barca that inflicted heavy damage on our Uruk army. This time's unit and the previous Keema cavalry were literally annihilated. I must say that it boasts a fearsome attacking power."

"No, that's not it. What I'm saying is not that superficial."

"What do you mean? I'd really like to know what the next head of the House of Uruk thinks."

"Oh, it's not that difficult. What do you know about the military commander of Barca-Graham?"

"Hmm. The Barca army is led by Ars von Barca, the head of the Barca family, and the Graham army is led by Leon von Graham. I heard that both of them are still young men who have just become the heads of their families."

"That's right. They are still young. It's hard to believe that Ars von Barca is only eleven years old, but I've heard that Leon von Graham is about fifteen."

"Terribly vicious children, aren't they?"

"Yeah, but look at the way they run their army. Don't you think they're a little less childlike?"

"....Childlike?"

"You have children of your own, don't you? Or even think back to when you were a teenager, in your mid-teens, leading your army to victory over the enemy in a rout, what do you think you would have done?"

"Yes, I do. If I had done that in my teenage years, I would've definitely gotten carried away. When I got home, I'd be sure to talk about my exploits in a grandiose way."

"That's right. I mean, if you win that big, even if you're not a child, you're going to get carried away. And that buoyant state leads to the management of the army. Normally, they would get carried away and use the momentum to launch more attacks."

"That may be so. When you get carried away, you are able to exert more offensive power than usual. It's easy to get hit back, and I've seen it happen many times in my life..."

"Yes. Those of us who lead armies have made such mistakes to a greater or lesser extent. But they are different. After such a great victory, they stopped moving and started to build up their position. The troops they are leading seem to be meekly following suit. If you only look at the information about Barca from last year, you'll see their high offensive capabilities, but if you actually see them, you'll understand that they're not just a group with momentum."

"I see. You're absolutely right. It's true that if you don't know the information, you might not think that a child is leading that army. Perhaps someone who knows how to run an army is attached to Barca-Graham's army."

"That may be so. But if the top management doesn't listen to their opinions, it'll be all for naught. The fact that they haven't gotten carried away even now is a quality of the new child leaders, isn't it?"

"Is that so....... Won't they be even more fearsome if they grow up?"

"Yeah. That is why we should beat them while we can. We have to pluck them out before they bloom into sakura flowers. For the sake of the future of our Uruk."

"Etto, so ......"

"Yeah, I'll do it. I, the next head of the House of Uruk, will personally crush the heads of Barca and Graham. Attention, all troops. We are going to attack Barca and Graham's army!"

"Look, Leon. It looks like the Uruk troops are acting differently than usual. We'll be surrounded."

"Yes, Ars-sama. It seems that the Uruks have chosen to bring back your head to make up for the losses of this battle."

"Aren't you afraid, Leon... What are we going to do about it? We've only just begun to build our position, so our preparations aren't perfect."

"First of all, let's get the people outside into position and prepare for defense. I don't think Carlos-sama will let this situation go unnoticed. If we buy time by preventing the Uruk army from attacking us, Carlos-sama, who has come out from Fort Einrad, can lead soldiers to attack them from behind."

"In other words, we should hunker down and siege the camp. If this is the case, I should have brought Vargas with me."

　I used the trap point where I defeated the Uruk army to build my position.

　It was a walled-off area with a shallow pool of slime outside.

　The Uruk army is trying to surround it.

　There must be more than five thousand of them already moving.

　There may be a few more.

　In addition to overwhelming our numbers, they seem to have surrounded us so that we can't escape from our encampment.

　It seems that they have switched their victory conditions from their original objective of invading Fontana territory.

　As a condition for retreating, they would take the head of me, who had come as Carlos' reinforcements and bring it back, claiming that the mission had failed but that they had not lost.

　However, if they are going to attack with a large number of troops against us who came as reinforcements, it will mean that the Einrad fortress, which had been surrounded, would get off easier.

　There was no way that Carlos would miss that.

　Well, I'm sure my opponent is well aware of that.

　So, they would not take the long and arduous strategy of surrounding our position and making us die of lack of rations.

　Their aim must be to attack us at once and attack us down.

"I'm not sure if the head of Uruk is going to show up, Leon."

"That's right, Ars-sama. It seems that there is information that the next head of the House of Uruk, Pessi de Uruk, is on the other side."

　Seriously?

　If someone like the head of Arbalest attacks with something like [Distant Thunder], it's not safe to be holed up in a camp like this.

　Pesci is said to be of the head class that can use the same higher-level magic as the head of the Uruk family.

　If we had fought "properly" without prior preparation, they might be easily crushed.

　While sending a letter of assistance to Carlos, I prayed to the heavens that we won't lose because of Pessi and began to prepare for an interception.
