I need to go AFK because of some circumstances.

Chapter 192 -Haisuinojin

"Are you happy with that family name, Baito-nii? Isn't the Balt family name similar to Barca, and won't that cause confusion?"2A short and sweet explanation: Barca is spelled バルカ. Baruto/Balt is spelled バルト. As you can see there is only a one-character difference. Easy to confuse.

"No, on the contrary, it's good that it sounds like Barca because it makes us seem related to it from the first reading. From now on, my name is Baito von Balt. Nice to meet you, Ars~."

"Hello, Baito-nii. Nice to meet you as well."

　After deciding that we could no longer endure in this camp, I had Baito-nii and Leon name the soldiers so that the two of them could get mana from their new subordinates.

 

　Both of them have about 300 magic-using subordinates.

　Particularly, I think that Baito-nii has become quite strong.

　After I became independent and took over the Barca Knights' Domain, I had entrusted him with the training of our soldiers.

　He had been disciplining everyone while in army training.

　It was not just physical training.

　He was also training them to improve their mana.

　Ordinary people have less mana than I do.

　In fact, I had been consciously training to increase the quality and quantity of my magic power since I was a child, experimenting with various methods.

　I would take in mana from the air to increase the amount I have.

　When I ate food, I would gather my magic in my internal organs so that I could take in more of the mana in the food along with the nutrition.

　This is how I trained and refined my mana.

　And my brother knew about this methodology.

　It's not like I've been hiding this method of training from my family, after all, I've been telling them about it since before I became a knight.

　I've also told them how to use mana to activate it as a spell, then later name it to turn it into a spell used by everyone.

　My younger brother, Kyle, has created his own magic that I can't use because I taught him how to do it.

　Baito-nii still hasn't been able to create any original magic, but he knows how to train his mana, and he practices it himself.

　He also teaches this training method to his soldiers in their daily training.

Although the theory is so abstract and can only be "actually" taught to oneself by their own senses and abilities, the soldiers who listened to the advice have gradually been seeing improvements in their magic-using capabilities, as well as in the state their mana is in.

And, if you have the surname Barca, the effect is even easier to understand.

　This is because those that have improved have been able to use higher-level magic, such as going from only being able to use [Leveling] to being able to actually use [Wall Construction].

　In other words, the soldiers who had received training from my older brother Baito in the Barca Knights' Domain had a higher amount of mana and understanding about it than other, more ordinary people, even if they could not use spells and usually lived as farmers.

　They were the ones who were given Baito-nii's family name.

　The Balt family was the new name of Baito-nii's family.

　Even though they had named about the same number of people, it meant that he was stronger than Leon, whose subordinates were just a bunch of untrained peasants hastily gathered from the newly formed Graham Knight's Territory.

　Either way, they have drastically gained more mana, so it doesn't really matter.

"After naming the soldiers, the number of people who can build Walls has increased. Should we change our plan and try to continue holding out while continuously using [Wall Construction]?"

"Well, the number of spell users has indeed increased. We might be able to go with that plan, as well. However, there's something that I noticed when someone else pointed it out to me."

"What did you notice, Leon?"

"Yes... It's the food. It seems to have run out faster than we had calculated."

"Food? Is it possible that [Black Flame] caught and destroyed it?"

"No, that's not the reason for the shortage. The cause is that there is no food for the Valkyries."

"For the Valkyries? ... Well, in this situation, can't we raise Hatsuka?"

"Ah. When we built the camp, we improved the land inside a little bit and grew it. We used it as part of the food for the Valkyries. It seems that the influence of the [Black Flame] has ruined that area."

"I see, so the food that was brought in for the soldiers was also given to the Valkyries, and it was depleted quickly."

"Yes. It seems that the amount of food consumed exceeded our calculations. I'm sorry that I didn't notice it until just now ....... I apologize deeply for that."

"Don't worry. Everyone was only paying attention to make sure the food storage area wasn't on fire. ... But that means that we don't have enough food to last us another five days, right? Well, it's convenient in a way."

"Eh? Why, Ars, is it ever convenient to be without food?"

"We'll eat all the food we have left by today. Then we won't have anything to eat. In other words, unless all of us charge into the Uruk army, defeat the enemy generals and break through the enclosure, everyone will die. The soldiers will fight to the death with all of their wills."

　This is called Haisuinojin — if you eliminate the escape routes of your allies before you fight, everyone will become desperate to survive.

　When we get more determination to fight as we're cornered like rats, we might be able to break the Uruk army's siege.

"Oh, and I'll give this to you, Leon."

"Isn't this a [Thunder Sword]? Are you sure, Ars-sama?"

"You need to have it. I have the Nine-Tailed Sword, and Baito-nii has the other Thunder Sword, after all."

"Thank you very much! But it's amazing. Until recently, I was a member of a fallen ex-knightly family, but in the blink of an eye, I've become a knight with a territory that has a magical weapon."

"If you say that, then think about how Barca was created from the efforts of one hungry peasant kid along with others. I don't want us to have come this far and burn to death in a place like this, you know. Both of our families still have an amazing future laid out for them. We'll definitely defeat Pessi and escape the siege!"

"Right, Ars. All right, everyone, get ready to eat! Eat your fills and fight with everything we've got!"

"Yes, Baito-san. Let's do it, Ars-sama. I put the future of the Graham family in your hands. And it would be a shame if we all died before seeing my sister again."

　Thus, we ate what might have been our last supper and decided to attack the Uruk army.

CadmarLegend There is no English word for the title, so I left it as Haisuinojin. What I did gather is that this is an idiom, which basically means: "no way out"; "backed into a corner"; etc.

 

Oh, and I will be going AFK for a while. Some personal matters. But don't worry, chapters have been pre-scheduled and they will be released as usual. That's one of the reasons I couldn't do the daily chapter yesterday.
