"After all, the march speed of the army is slow. Are you still here?"
"Probably because Arus-sama set up the night raid. If you go on alert, it's slower than usual."
I see. Well, that night raid would have made sense. This will be ready in advance. I'll aim for the best spot on the course I can predict. "
Last time, my part-time brother and I carried out a night raid like a scout to figure out the existence of the Titans.
Without any difficulty, I retreated once and then held an army meeting at Fort Eindrad to launch again, but there were more Ulk troops at a distance than I thought.
Looks like he's moving on alert, and he's going pretty slow.
I can afford to be prepared for this.
So, what's the plan, Ars?
"Ah, I've been thinking about a plan, Big Brother. Fighting that giant properly could hurt us too. That's why I'm going to trap you."
"A trap? But isn't it hard to trap someone who's been attacked once? You're on guard, aren't you?
"I guess. That's why if you get caught in a trap, you get the results. I'll tell you what, let's get ready."
Thus, we set a trap on the Uluk army's path.
"So, tell me you're setting a trap, and you're going to end up raiding the night, Ars."
"I didn't say I wouldn't attack at night. I mean, it can't be helped. They have more people than us."
"Well, I guess. That's right, I'm not going to say I'm going to attack the target normally from the front."
Hmm, I think a part-time brother would be nice, but did you know that much?
After all, I decided to start the night raid again.
There's a reason.
This time, the aim was to shoot at a magical giant named Atmos Warrior in the Uluk army.
However, the Ulk army is overwhelmingly larger than the Vulcans.
If you fight normally, that giant will join you where there are many people, and you won't be able to handle it.
That's why we decided to fish out only the giants.
A night raid for that.
Launches an attack on a quiet spot and knocks the enemy up.
And I was hoping to pull out only the giants and take them down.
"I found it. There's a warrior in Atmos."
"You know very well, Ars. Even though you have binoculars, you're still not a giant anymore."
"It's easy, part-time brother. If you concentrate your magic in your eyes, you can see it. I actually saw the magic of the Atmos warriors during the last night raid, and I'm sure I'm right."
Sniper one of the thousands of Ulk troops.
At a minimum, we needed to know where the target was in the enemy line.
But it was easier than I thought.
That's because, as I told my part-time brother, if you concentrate your magic in your eyes, you can see the magic coming out of that person.
As Gran says, Atmos warriors who work as mercenaries on the battlefield clearly have a different amount of magic.
Also, although there is a lot of magic, the quality of magic is also high.
It's easy to see at a glance, so you won't be mistaken.
"Be careful, part-time brother. That Titan's magic is useless. I don't think I can win if I and my part-time brother fight alone. Don't just do it the way you do it."
"That bad?
"Ah, the amount and quality of magic are overwhelming us. If you think you're just gonna get big, you're gonna die."
"Okay. Be careful."
"Alright, let's get out of the night raid a little later than last time. It would be better if we were close in the morning."
We're already ready.
As the day went by, I stopped marching on the day and checked the whereabouts of the Atmos warriors in the Ulk army who were preparing for the camp, my part-time brother and I ended our reconnaissance and returned to the Vulcans.
When the sun set and the night went on, and the moon continued to move just above our heads, we finally started moving.
On this day, the moon is much chipped and clouds are rising.
It was much darker than the last night of the raid, but Valkyrie was still on the move.
I and my part-time brother were the only ones scouting the Uluk army, and I was careful not to be found by enemy scouts.
I checked the area magically along with visual confirmation, so I don't think they noticed this.
But perhaps in the Uruk army, which was alert to the night raid, the foxed knights must be watching.
No matter how quiet they are and how close they get, they are likely to find them before they enter the enemy line.
So this time, Valkyrie ran away from a distance that would not have been detected and decided to carry out a night raid.
"I saw it. I knew it was behind me. I'm gonna stick it where the Atmos warriors are."
The initial movement of the Uluk army has been delayed by the sudden approach from a distance as targeted.
But they're just being vigilant, and they've deployed more sleeping quarters than last time.
Although the movement is delayed, the number of people who are moving themselves is large.
On the other hand, we have just attacked the cavalry to launch a night raid at once, as we did last time.
I don't like being surrounded.
We need to lure out Atmos' warriors now.
Thus, the battle in the darkness began again.
