Chapter 196 - Reverse Siege

"This is a serious problem! Quickly, reduce the number of enemies around us as much as possible. Baito-nii, it's time to rampage!"

"Hey. I know. But there are too many of them, Ars. We can't hold them off that long."

"Okay, I'll have the Valkyries build a wall. Let's not get surrounded. Leon, get the infantry to join us here. Don't let them split up with the cavalry and destroy them individually!"

"I understand, Ars-sama."

　Pessi was the general of the Uruk army and the next head of the family.

　However, even though he has been defeated, the war situation is worse than what we got into.

　I had jumped into the Uruk's main army, even though there were only about 800 of us.

　All around us were enemy soldiers, and their numbers were far greater than ours.

　I have heard that encirclement and annihilation warfare is one of the best tactics.

　It's a simple one, which involves completely surrounding the enemy and then attacking them.

　However, once you are stuck in that situation, you can't get out of it by anything half-hearted.

　In particular, the group on the surrounded side will be densely packed into a cluster, and the people in the middle of the group will be crushed to death not by the enemy but by their allies.

　So, I built a wall as a temporary measure.

　For the time being, I just let the horned Valkyries build a wall in one direction so that there would be a direction where no attacks would come.

　But that was all I could do.

　The only thing left to do was to continue wielding our weapons against the knights and soldiers that were rushing in from around us.

"Oh, c'mon! Anyone who can beat me, step forward."

　The only reason I'm able to endure such a desperate situation is thanks to Baito-nii and Leon, who are fighting at a distance from me.

　They're fighting against a number of Uruk knights who've used [Foxification].

　I think it was the right decision to let those two name the soldiers.

　At the time, I was thinking of naming the troops myself in order to concentrate the mana on me alone to defeat Pessi.

　But no matter how strong I became, I would not have been able to handle this situation on my own.

"Even in this situation, it may be the same, after all."

"Oi, Ars, can't you do something about this?"

"Dad ...... I might be able to do something in a while, but it'll still be tough. Are you okay over there?"

"I'm still okay. I can still handle it, but the longer it goes on, the more trapped we'll become. Can't we just go back to our position?"

"No, we can't. If we try to go back through that little passage, we'll be wiped out."

　My father, who was fighting near me, called out to me and suggested that we run back to the camp, but this was not practical.

　The underpass I built is not a big one.

　If we tried to escape through it, all the others would be crushed except for the first people who entered the tunnel.

"Dad. Can you take command in front of the wall the Valkyries built?"

"...... What do you want me to do, Ars?"

"Have the troops take turns resting in front of the wall. If we can get a little rest, we'll have more time to fight."

"But that's going to reduce the number of people we can fight at once. Are you okay with that?"

"I'll do my best, but you have to make sure to get some rest, too, right? Go and rest — for me, at least."

"Yeah, okay. If it gets too much for you or Baito, let me know right away. I'll see you later."

"Thanks."

　I would have liked to add more walls, but that seemed to be too difficult.

　The Uruk army was coming in like a tsunami, and there was no room for that.

　If we were to increase the number of walls, there was a possibility that they would use them against us.

　Since the siege had been perfected, the strength of the cavalry was also lost.

　The only saving grace is that Pessi is already gone since if he were to use [Black Flame] here, we'd all be screwed.

　But the Uruk army, led by knights of Uruk who have superior physical abilities because of [Foxification] and [Oboro Fire], continued to steadily reduce our numbers.

"Damn, we've been fighting for a while now..."

　We've been fighting ever since we assaulted Pessi in the enemy's main camp early in the morning.

　The sky, which was supposed to be dim at first, has not only brightened up completely, but it's already past noon and more time has passed, and I feel just a bit hungry.

　Well, we don't even have anything to eat anyway...

　However, the onslaught of the Uruk army is not letting up.

　All of us are already wounded and our numbers have been further reduced, but what can we do?

　We are constantly watching our surroundings as we fight.

　We are fighting against the knights in front of us, looking for a way to escape.

　If there is a weak point in the enemy, I will try to break through the siege by charging all of the horned calvaries at it, but I have not been able to do so.

　Even though there is no longer an overwhelmingly strong leader, the troops seem to be operating well.

　Rather, I'm still surprised that the Uruk army hasn't collapsed since their leader has been gone...

"Hmm? What? Is the Uruk army starting to get disorganized?"

　However, I felt something strange about the movement of the Uruk army.

　I wondered what was going on.

　I don't know exactly what's going on.

　But this might be our last chance to escape this crisis.

"Valkyries, come on! All troops, break through the siege. Baito-nii, Leon, follow me!"

"Hey, hey, are you okay, Ars?"

"I don't know, but we've got a chance. Dad, keep up with us!"

　The moment I sense the unnatural movement of the Uruk army, I make a decision.

　I immediately decided to charge.

　I'm going to have horned Valkyries with [Body Strengthening] charge into the Uruk army, followed by me on Valkyrie to suppress the surrounding movements with my Thunder Sword.

　But that movement doesn't last forever.

　The thick encirclement of the Uruk army stopped the Valkyries in their tracks, and we gradually lost its ability to break through.

　This time, our army was stretched vertically and was completely surrounded by the Uruk army.

　If the strange feeling I felt about the Uruk army was just my imagination, then this was the end.

　It would be impossible to turn the situation upside down from here.

　But that was not to be.

"Why are you here? I told you to stay in your position."

"Ehhhhhhh... Carlos-sama, why are you here?"

"Well, of course, I'm here to defeat Pessi de Uruk. Where is he?"

"I've already defeated him. Me, Leon and Baito-nii."

"What?　...... Looks like you can't afford to lie in this situation. That's fine. We'll talk later. Attention, all Fontana forces. The young knights of Fontana have defeated the target, Pessi de Uruk. Strike down the remaining remnants of the army!"

「「「「「 Hai! 」」」」」

　It was just when I thought it was all over that I came to a halt in the midst of the enemy horde.

　But then hope appeared.

　Carlos had come to push away the Uruk army that had surrounded us.

　Of course, Carlos hadn't come here alone and didn't know that we were trapped.

　Apparently, he was leading the army that had been in Fort Einrad.

　With this fresh army and Carlos' strength as the only family Head in the battle, Uruk's army, which had surrounded Barca-Graham's army and kept on attacking, suffered heavy damage and had to retreat.

　Thus, the curtain closed on the seemingly hopeless reverse siege against us.
