Chapter 219 - Effects of Ripples

"You called for me, Carlos-sama?"

"Ars. I'm glad you're here. I assume you've heard about this matter?"

"I've heard from Leon that you've sheltered the king. ...... Are you okay?

"What do you mean, am I okay?"

"It means what it says, Carlos-sama. If you want to secure the king's safety, that would mean that the three noble families would be starkly watching you. Some of them actually tried to take custody of the king by force, so are you sure about what you're doing?"

"To be honest, it was a difficult decision, but it was also one that I could not refuse. I naturally considered what you are concerned about."

"I see. What are your plans for the future of Fontana?"

"I'm going to stay out of the way of the big nobles for now. I'm not sure how much time I can buy by pretending I don't know anything and, more importantly, the three noble families in question are checking each other's movements, so they shouldn't be able to move quickly. In the meantime, I want to eliminate as many risks as possible."

"Risks?"

"Yes. If some other noble family or families were to invade us, we would first have to deal with some very serious entities. You know who they are, I presume?"

"...... Uruk and Arbalest, right?"

"Yes. The two noble houses are located on both sides of Fontana. It is troublesome if they join forces with any of the three great noble houses. So, I have something for you to do. How much strength can Barca mobilize at the moment?"

"Right now it's about fifteen hundred at the most. I mean, could it be...?"

"That's right. Barca should invade the east with all its forces and overthrow Uruk. As soon as possible, before the great nobles make their move."

　Ah, I knew Carlos would say something strange the moment he summoned me.

　But it's still going to be like this.

　Would he be angry if I refused?

　Apparently, he's is in a situation where he can't back out.

　If the situation is going to get that bad, why just not accommodate the king?

　However, when it comes to making a decision based on the current situation, the instructions Carlos gave were not wrong.

　Eliminate the closest enemies before the other great nobles turn their attention to Fontana.

　The large forest to the north of Fontana had made it difficult for it to expand its territory, but in other words, we don't have to worry about being attacked from behind.

　So, if we can control the east and west, we can at least direct our attention to the south no matter which noble family comes.

　And in last year's battle, the Arbalest Territory to the west was greatly weakened after we lost the impregnable Paramea Fortress.

　Paramea is one of the gateways to the Arbalest territory, as well as an exit from the Arbalest territory.

　In other words, there is little danger of the Arbalests coming to attack us at present.

　In other words, the House of Uruk in the east is more likely to become a hindrance.

"However, even if we were to attack the Uruk, we would need a good reason, right? Even if Barca attacks the Uruk Territory without a reason, and we win, we will not be able to rule without a cause. It will not lead to the stabilization of the East, Carlos-sama?"

"I know. That is why I will use the seeds we sowed last year. You remember that, don't you? You remember the false information we spread to Uruk."

"Oh, you mean the one where you set up a double agent who was in contact with a traitor in Fontana? Have you made any progress since then?"

"That's right. It seems to have had a greater effect than we thought. In the Uruk Territory, he is already recognized as an enemy and is standing on the edge of a needle. He's come crying to us."

I see. So you're saying that you're going to use the knight of Uruk who was connected to Fontana? So it will be "Fontana received a request of help from him, so Barca shall come to that person's rescue", right? But will it be okay?"

"It'll be fine. I'm not sure if he's really in a dire pinch, but he's really sending a letter to Fontana asking for help. He has even pledged his allegiance to Fontana if he receives help."

"....That's amazing. But how can we trust a guy like that?"

"You don't need to trust him. If you can use the person to your advantage, that's all that matters, and if he's willing to swear allegiance and act for Fontana, I'll give him some credit for that. But if he were to do anything to betray us, I will not tolerate it."

"In any case, we should rescue that traitorous knight and attack the Uruk Territory, right? I understand. Let's do it."

"Well, you're very bold. I thought you might say that you don't want to fight more."

"No, I don't want to fight too aggressively, but the situation is what it is. Besides, if I do well, I'll get the land conquered, right Carlos-sama?"

"Hmm, so you're finally interested in expansion of your territory? I don't care. Once Barca has carved out the Uruk Territory, I promise you an appropriate amount of land."

"Thank you very much. Actually, I was concerned about the fact that although my brother Baito had established his own Balt family, there was no territory for him to be given. Now, I shall go and start marching my soldiers."

"Huh? What? You're going into battle right away?"

"Yes, Carlos-sama, since Barca has become a standing army, not an army made up of peasants. It won't take much time to go into battle. Now, if you'll excuse me."

　Thus began the third battle between the House of Uruk and Barca.
