Chapter 189 - Uruk's Higher Magic

"Attention, all troops of Barca-Graham. Stop resisting meekly and surrender. I will spare your lives if you do so!"

　The Uruk army surrounds our position.

　A man came forward from the Uruk army and shouted.

　It seems that he is speaking with mana in his voice, and his speech is very clear and overbearing.

　I wonder if this was the first time someone had spoken before a fight like this since the fight with Raymond.

　Although there had been several battles since then, most of them had been assaults using the Valkyrie's mobility, so it had been a long time since our enemy had given such a preface.

　As I was thinking this while looking at my opponent from the top of the tower built in the middle of the camp, he threw more words at me.

"We, the Uruk army, have come to liberate the people who live here in Einrad. It is already a known fact that Einrad belongs to the House of Uruk, and many people from Uruk territory have already moved there. The selfish people of Fontana had shed their blood to take it away. Many of our Uruk brethren are now in danger. We, Uruk, have risen up to save them. The biggest sinner of them all is the head of Barca, Ars von Barca. You should be ashamed of your deeds and give up your head gracefully!"

　Oh, come on, you're making a mess of things.

　Why should I be ashamed of my actions?

　I don't know why I should be ashamed of my actions.

　It's not just a quirk.

　But this preamble cannot be ignored, no matter what the other side's argument is.

　By accusing the other side of wrongdoing, it may discourage the other side, but it is also a meaningful act for your own army.

　'We are doing the right thing, so it is not wrong to point our weapons at them.'

　By making their side believe that, they can take advantage of the battle.

　So I couldn't just stand there in silence either.

　I took a big breath, kneaded the mana in my body, and concentrated it on the vocal cords in my throat.

　I then exhaled the air from my body and put my magic power on the quivering air that my vocal cords had transformed into a meaningful sound called a voice, and then spoke from the top of the tower as if I were striking my opponent with it.

"I tell the soldiers of Uruk. You may leave your weapons now and return. There is no one around Einrad who will welcome you. When the House of Uruk unjustly occupied this land, it was a transportation hub, but it was poor. What about now? Now, thanks to our rule, the fields have expanded and many wheat crops are growing. Everyone is happy to give their harvested wheat to Fontana. They are all grateful for the transfer of the rulership from the House of Uruk to the House of Fontana. Having the Uruks set foot on this land would do more harm than good."

　The moment I finished, I clenched my right hand and thrust it up in the air. As if on cue, Baito-nii and the rest of the soldiers here shouted, "That's right, that's right!"

　It created an atmosphere as if this was the consensus of the people living in this place.

　Well, I guess it's not a complete lie, because there are actually some people from this area in Barca's army.

　After a few moments of listening to the buzz, I quickly withdrew his hand to calm them down before moving on to my next statement.

"And there's a lot wrong with what Uruk said. You claim to be freeing Einrad, but in reality, you are not. You started this war by secretly coordinating with the Arbalest family in the west to target the Fontana territory. So, in other words, Uruk's goal is not the safety of the people living in Einrad, but your actions are motivated by self-interest. Uruk was only aiming for Fontana by overrunning this fruitful land of Einrad. Who would trust a man who only speaks words and never means them as a head of a family? Why should Einrad fall under the rule of a family with such a liar of a man as the next head? You should be ashamed of your own actions. Don't you think so, everyone?"

　I spoke from the top of the tower, urging them to agree with me.

　The other person would argue with what I said, and then I would argue with them some more.

　To put it bluntly, it was just a water-cooler argument, but it didn't seem to hurt our morale.

　Even though we were surrounded by several times as many people like us, everyone seemed to have a strong will to fight.

　I guess we did pretty well.

"Very well. Then I will defeat you with my power. Prepare yourself, Ars von Barca."

　The argument that had been going on for a while came to an end.

　The Uruk side showed their intention to attack us and backed up a little, and from behind them, they pulled out a rumbling object in front of the Uruk army.

"That's a catapult. And isn't that the one I made?"

"It seems so. It may be that they brought it here after we had used it on Xylia highway last year and abandoned it, Ars-sama."

"They dragged it all the way here from there? It's pretty heavy, so why did they do it? After all, they can just cut down some wood and make their own catapults after getting here."

"...... It might have been a bad idea when you put it that way. All troops are advised. Be on the lookout for stone projectiles from Uruk!"

　Leon, who was standing next to me, said this after seeing the movement of the Uruk army.

　It's true that catapult attacks are a threat to us as well as our enemies.

　The camp we're building now was built in a great hurry to surround it, so we made walls around it with [Wall Construction], which many of us can use, instead of the taller [Atmos Walls].

　As a result, the projectiles could go over the wall and rain down on us.

　But more than that, Leon seemed to be in a hurry.

"What... Is that black...flame...?"

　I could understand Leon's impatience when I saw Uruk's next move.

　The catapult the army pulled out in front of us didn't hold multiple bricks like ours usually do, but a single reasonably large rock.

　I guessed that it would send the rock flying towards us.

　However, the commander of the Uruk army who had been speaking in advance approached that rock and activated magic.

　It was probably the next head of the Uruk family, Pesci, who was leading the Uruk army this time.

　He activated the Uruk family's higher-level magic.

　[Black Flames]

　That's the magic that the head of Uruk uses.

　It's a flame created by using a huge amount of mana, and its color is different from normal.

　It's not red, blue, or white, but pitch black.

　The magic that creates the dark flames is said to be the flames of hell that will not disappear until the target is burned to the ground.

　The black flames ignite the rock set in the catapult.

　And then a large rock with black flames clinging to it was released from it and came flying towards our position.

"Evade, no, protect the food! Build walls surrounding where the rock landed!"

　The burning rocks landed on our position with a loud bang.

　The trouble is, they don't seem to go away even when you pour water on them.

　In addition, Pessi took it in turns to throw rocks with a [Black Flame] cast on them at several of the other catapults he had brought with him.

　In this way, the holed-up position of Barca-Graham's army was quickly transformed into a steaming kiln with unquenchable flames everywhere.
