Chapter 221 - Meeting with Harold

"Nice to meet you. I'm Ars von Barca. A pleasure to make your acquaintance."

"I am Harold Wong Xillia. It's a pleasure to meet you too, Ars-dono."

"First, let's discuss your position, Harold-dono. Please take a look at this."

"Hmm, so I can either be relieved of my territory or have it be expanded if I were to work hard? Is that really true?"

"Yes, it is a document officially approved by Carlos-sama. There is no lie in it."

"..... But what is this? It says to send my family to the capital of Fontana?"

"That's a rule not only for you but for all the knights of Fontana. For example, my wife and I, as well as Peter-dono's family — the person defending Fort Einrad — are in Fontana City as well."

"...... Do I have to send the children too? The Xillia family has ruled Xillia for generations. I want my children to grow up in the city."

"You cannot do that, Harold-dono. In the Fontana territory, wives and children are supposed to move to Fontana City together. If you, someone who has just become a new member of Fontana, were to break that rule, your credibility would suffer."

"Gosh... I get it. I'll arrange to have my family moved to Fontana City."

"Thank you for your understanding, Harold-dono. Now, let's think about what's going to happen next."

　After receiving the order to take down Uruk, Barca completed its preparations and immediately headed east. We proceeded further northeast via Fort Einrad and came to Xillia, the second-largest city in Uruk.

　Barca was the first to arrive in Xillia, but troops would be sent from the Fort and from Burma, a city that had been the site of a long dispute north of Einrad that had been captured by Carlos.

　If Xylia's troops were added to the mix, the force would be quite large.

　Uruk, which used to be able to mobilize more troops than Fontana, has reduced its strength by half.

　Not only were the family's 2 strategic locations, Einrad Hill and Burma, but even Xillia was forced to defect.

　However, before we can make any further progress, we need to damage the Uruk family.

"here is something that must be done. You understand, don't you, Harold-dono?"

"I know... Throw away our surnames..."

"That's right. The Xillia family will now abandon Uruk and swear allegiance to Fontana. That means, of course, that the name Uruk gave you will be abandoned and a name will be bestowed upon you by Fontana."

" I understand that Ars-dono, but can you give me a little grace?"

"...... grace? You think there is any such thing?"

"This is true. I have something I really need to do before I abandon the name of Uruk."

"What must you do?"

"Persuasion. If you allow me, I would like to go to the capital of the Uruk Territory and persuade the Head. I want to convince him to surrender to Fontana."

"To the Head of the House of Uruk? I'm sure he won't agree to that. We have been competing with each other for land for many years. No matter how bad the situation is, they will not fall under Fontana's military."

"...... You may be right. But if this continues, the House of Uruk will be destroyed. I want to avoid that at all costs. Please, Lord Ars. That's right. Please give me a chance to persuade the master."

　Harold lowered his head as he said that.

　He is bowing to me, even though he obviously feels that he is of a higher rank than me.

　The Uruk family must be very important to him.

　He must have lost all trust from Uruk, but still, he is loyal to them.

　As expected, I felt that I couldn't let this go unanswered.

　Leon had also told me to show tolerance, and above all, if Harold's persuasion was successful, the Uruk family would be under Fontana's control without a fight.

　I'm not sure if that reduces the danger of the Uruks, but it might be safer to leave the balance to Carlos and Leon.

"I understand, Harold-dono. You may go to the capital and try to persuade the family Head of Uruk to give up peacefully."

"Thank you Ars-dono! I am greatly indebted to you."

"However, there is a condition. Your family will be transferred to the Fontana territory first. Understood?"

"Understood. I will definitely try my all to persuade the Lord."

　In this way, Harold left Xillia for the capital of Uruk with a minimum of accompaniment.

　And it was on that very night that I was attacked.
