"Lord Ars, you kept me waiting."
"Welcome to Xylia, Lord Peeta. Was that enough space available?
"Oh, no problem. But you're as quick as ever. I had to hurry to get here when I heard that I had the Kirilla house in my hand immediately after I went to Kirilla."
"It happens. The Xylia family showed their weakness. Now you can take the lead."
"Hmm. I've heard the story in my report. But I didn't expect the giant that came out of that fight to show up again. Well done, you guys. I would be proud of the strength of the current class, the giant."
"That's right. I'm sure Titan Tanatos has the ability to outperform regular knights. But it was still a lot weaker."
"But even the giant was able to capture Fontana's faction. It will surely be a great force. And what happened to Harold Wong Chilia, the protagonist of the Kilia family in question?
Is that so? Harold appears to have been detained by the Lord of the Ulk family. Are you being interrogated as a traitor? "
"... what do you think of that information?
"Perhaps Lord Harold went to persuade the Lord of the Ulk family to catch him from the beginning. For the survival of the House of Xylia."
Some time after I arrived in the city of Xylia, Peeta led the army from Fort Eindrad.
Shortly before that, another knight from Burma, north of Eindrad, led Fontana's army.
Perhaps this will bring together Fontana's power against the House of Ulk.
Could it be as much as 4,500 along with the Xylia family's army?
Then, exchange information while having a little chat with the last peacha.
The movement of Harold, the current lord of the Kirilla family, which came out of the story, seems to have failed to persuade him.
But perhaps failure was also within our expectations.
I wonder if Harold Wong Chilia acted with the highest priority on connecting the future of the Chilia family.
It was rumored that it was connected to Fontana by false information, and although I don't know to what extent, my position definitely declined.
So I set myself the goal of leaving behind the House of Xylia, not my status or my life.
I've really been in touch with Fontana to see if I've stepped on it in a way.
Send out a request for Xylia rescue and send troops from Fontana.
But if this Fontana army is defeated by the Ulks, the Kirillas will truly be killed by the entire clan as traitors.
That's why I insured myself.
After Barca was dispatched from Fontana and arrived in the city of Xylia, he offered to persuade his lord that he could not abandon his loyalty to the Urk family.
The offer leaves Xylia and proceeds to our Lord.
And persuasion itself, whether it succeeds or fails, was not a problem.
Whether it succeeds or fails, the key is that the Kirilla family may survive whichever wins.
If the House of Uluk triumphed, they might say that the knights did not abandon their allegiance to Uluk until the end.
What mattered then was the successor to House Kirilla.
The Kirillas are the nobles who rule the second city of the Urk family, and there are multiple children of Harold.
And there are children other than Wagner who live in Uluk's territorial capital apart from his father Harold.
Even if Uluk triumphs, he may be able to acknowledge his father Harold's last allegiance and allow his child to survive as a successor to the Kirilla family.
The territory may be gone, but if House Ulk triumphs over Fontana, there will still be the blood of House Kirilla.
In other words, Harold's goal is to act as if the Kirilla family has a future, whichever wins.
Take Harold's children into custody with both factions.
That way, we can move in the name of releasing Harold.
It won't be long before the two factions collide to decide whether to win or lose.
"Is that really true? I don't think the Titans are going to attack the Vulcans...."
"Perhaps Harold really didn't know about the raid, and it was the will of some knights. It would be easier to explain Harold's current situation. Well, I don't know what's actually going on."
"Hmm. If I had been a knight since I was a peasant, I would have tried to resist my destiny with my own power until the end, but it seems like a knighthood with a history of giving priority to the house. So, when is that Harold going to pick him up?
"We will also need to rest some of Lord Peeta's soldiers. Rest for a few days before you battle. The Ulks have also taken Lord Harold into custody, and there's been a lot of military activity."
"Okay. Let's get ready. If the Urk family comes out, will the final land be around the plains of Myrias?
"That's right. The Milias plain between Xylia and the Urk Territory. That's where we settle with the Uluks."
An envoy has already been sent to release Harold from captivity.
But the House of Ulk stuck it.
They say that their strength is about 5,000 according to scouting reports.
Roughly a duel between the same number of troops.
That's going to be the battle between Uluk and Fontana.
And a few days later, as planned, Fontana's army, including Barca, left the city of Kirilla and headed for the Milias plains.
