Chapter 231: 234

Chapter 234 - Flame Ore and Taking Territory

"Oh!"

　Elvis brought back an ore that he had never seen before.

　When I injected mana into it, flames appeared.

　It's real.

　This must be the very metal that the Nine-tailed Swords were made from.

　This cannot be mistaken.

"Well done, Elvis."

"Thank you, Ars-sama! I was going to bring back more, but there were too many to carry."

"There were that many? The same metal as this one?"

"Yes, there were. In the Valley, there are earthen walls with a speckled pattern. I found many of the same ores on the walls!"

"Hmmm, I wonder if there is a fault line exposed there. Either way... You did a good job. Tomorrow morning, only those who can use [Poison Nullification] should enter Fox Valley. While there, let's collect as much as we can."

"Hey, Ars. We've done it. We can make all the Nine-tailed Swords we want with this!"

"Baito-nii, calm down. The first thing we need to do is to collect the metals in the morning. However, even if we have the exact materials necessary, there's no guarantee that we can recreate the Nine-tailed Swords."

"Don't worry. I'm sure Gran can do it. It's a dream come true. Just imagine the mounted Valkyrie calvary rushing at the opponent with flaming swords in their hands! That would definitely be powerful!"

"I guess so. Well, anyway, we'll head to Fox Valley tomorrow. Go eat and sleep! We have an extra early start tomorrow morning."

"""Yessir!"""

　In this way, we obtained the flame ore, a phantom metal that was already said to be unobtainable.

　So, after a restless night, we headed to the Fox Valley to collect the ores, loading as much as we could onto carts.

　※　※　※

"You really went into Fox Valley.......? That is the lost phantom flame ore. Oh ......, I never thought I'd be able to see the real thing with my own eyes. I can't believe it!"

"Thanks to your guidance to the Fox Valley, Zitan. We were able to collect them much faster than we expected. Thank you."

"No... It is only because of you, Ars-sama, that the Amu Knight Territory has been able to gain access to the lost metals... So, now that you have the flame ore, may I ask what your next move is going to be?"

"It's obvious, Zitan. The purpose of our coming here is not only for the flame ore, but also for taking territory from the knight territories that rebelled against the Xillia family in Uruk. We'll be attacking other knightly territories from now on. Naturally, we'll need the Amu family's help."

"I see, sir. We, the Amu family, abandon the name Uruk gave us and declare our allegiance to Ars von Barca-sama. You may use us in any way you see fit."

"That's not quite right, Zitan. It's not me you're pledging allegiance to."

"What are you saying, Ars-sama... The Amu family has no intention of working for the Xillia family that defeated the honorable House of Uruk. Please allow us to pledge our allegiance to you."

"Just listen to me, Zitan. I'm not asking you to swear allegiance to the Xillia family. Rather, I'm asking you to swear allegiance to my brother Baito, swear allegiance to the Balt family."

"To Baito-sama....?"

"Yeah, me? Why me, Ars? Aren't you supposed to be the one taking in followers?"

"What are you talking about, brother? You want a Balt family territory, no? You should carve out some territory around here and rule it. It'll basically be an enclave of the Barca Knights as well."

"Is that okay? Are you sure you want me to have my own territory, Ars?"

"It's fine, but make sure you govern it properly, okay? If you fail to manage your territory, the Barca family will take it away from you."

"Oh, I'm on it, Ars. Still, you were thinking about that? You should've told me earlier."

"Good luck, Baito-nii. So, what about Zitan? Are you willing to pledge your allegiance to him?"

"...... I understand. We, the Amu family, pledge allegiance to Baito van Balt."

"Well said. I have one more request to make to you. Will you listen to me?"

"What is it, sir?"

"Barca's power and influence alone is not enough for the smooth administration of the territory in Uruk that is taken by my elder brother. Baito-nii needs a good relationship with an influential person. Do you understand what I wish to ask of you to do?"

"...... Marriage. It will be necessary for Baito-sama to marry a woman of suitable blood to govern this land."

"That's right. Think about it with Payne. See if you can find a good match. Baito-nii, spring has come for you. You are finally going to have an actual family..."

"Seriously? Uh, I didn't think we'd suddenly be talking about marriage..."

"It is alright, Baito-sama. Leave the arrangements in our care."

"Since that matter has been settled, you should start and take territory from our opponents right away, nii-san."

"All right. Let's get to work."

"Wait, before that, let's send out a letter to the surrounding knights asking them if they want to become part of Barca instead of the Xillia family. If they come to greet us accordingly, fine. If not, then we shall attack them."

　In the end, I decided to leave the governing of the taken territory to Baito-nii as I had originally intended.

　Then, I sent out a notice to the knights, and those who obeyed me, I took to my side, and those who opposed me, I brought them down.

　However, it would be better to secure the mining rights of Fox Valley for ourselves.

　While my overzealous brother Baito was slowly splitting up the territories, I used the Amu family's mansion as a base and repeatedly went to Fox Valley to collect flame ore, securing as much as I could.
