"Ars, I hear wolf smoke is rising from the northeast watchtower."
"Seriously. Bite brother, put the cavalry together. We're leaving."
It was some time after Vargas and his father brought in recruits.
I get a voice from my part-time brother when he was renovating the walls of Fort Einrad or training me on how to use a stone thrower.
Apparently, wolf smoke is rising from one of the surveillance towers created to monitor the movements of the Urk family.
Not my father, but I was also slightly wondering if the Urks wouldn't attack this one if I saw this fortress so far as to reshape Einlad's hill.
But apparently the idea was sweet.
Me and my Bite brother rode the Valkyrie to the northeast.
"It's over there. From there, you can see how Urk's army is doing."
"Okay. Thank you for your guidance."
Raise the wolf smoke in the surveillance tower and inform them of distant anomalies.
Thus, the movements of the Urk family, conveyed via several surveillance towers, appeared to have been only in the early days.
They found the army on their way over here and let us know about it.
Military progression takes longer than I thought.
It takes time just to travel together in large numbers, but even food and other luggage have to be transported with it.
The larger the size of the army, the slower it will be to march.
It seems to take extra time, especially since neither Fontana nor Urk knew about it and didn't dare to build a path.
They sometimes only go about 15 km in a day depending on the location.
So I could detect the movement of such blunt-footed Urk troops early. Yep, this one has a quick way of traveling called Valkyrie.
It was only with his own eyes that he was able to ascertain the appearance of the Urk army, which had actually marched further away than Fort Einlad at the defensive point.
"I'm glad the surveillance tower helped, but this is tight"
"That's a lot. Did the Urks pull that number? Hey, Ars. How many would that be?
"I don't know exactly......, I feel like I've seen it all the time, at least 3,000 less, a lot and 5,000 more, Bite brother"
"What do we do? You want me to set up an attack?
"No, Barca's cavalry is about 200 rides. There are corners, but the number is too small. It's impotent."
"So you're just gonna keep going home to Einrad? Even if you combine the recruits in Einrad, the numbers are small. What are you going to do?"
"Hmm, right..."
A soldier deployed in the surveillance tower led us to a position where the entire Urk army could be seen.
So I checked the number of them, and my brother and I were going to worry about what to do now.
That's because there were more opponents than I expected.
I don't know the exact number because I'm looking at it with binoculars from a long distance from the flat.
But a huge number of people were on the move.
Apparently, they're letting servant beasts and the like pull their bags. Yeah, they're not walking in line properly, they're hard to count.
For this reason, we estimate the number of opponents, albeit with considerable differences in width.
but that number exceeded the number of Barca troops, no matter what you think.
I have not brought all those with the Barca surname from Vulcania.
Because there's a new city that I built, and I couldn't have left it defenseless.
For this reason, he had brought about 200 people with the Barca surname as cavalry riding the Valkyrie.
When I came to Einrad Hill with Carlos, that number was about 200 because I was recruiting more young men in the people who had come hungry for Vulcania.
And in addition to the new Vulcania this time with the permission of Carlos, the city of Fontana and the number of people gathered in the village near Einrad Hill, roughly less than 1,000 people are at Fort Einrad as my subordinate.
Can we counter the Wolks with this number?
If the number of opponents is 3,000, they will attack us about three times this one with a fort they can defend, which could be a good battle.
Most importantly, I don't know if I can handle it properly if I've never had a defensive battle or anything.
But if 5,000 or so is the power, it's five times the power of this one.
That could be pretty harsh.
Or was it that Carlos and the others were now attacking the North City?
Even though there is a battle going on there, I didn't know the Urks were going to put out an extra soldier this far to recapture Einrad.
I guess that means they're desperate, too.
"In the meantime, we will also have to report this to Lord Carlos and Fort Einlad in the north. Let's run the transmission."
"Right. Let some of us go."
"Brother Byte, let me turn to the one with a land survey to the north. I'll write it down for you so you can come to the rescue, so I can hold it."
"You need rescue?
"That's right. I was ordered to defend Fort Einrad. That means when you fight your enemies like this, you'll be the worst caged castle. We can't do this without outside rescue."
"Does that mean we're going to move those guys forward without doing anything like this, Ars?
"... no, that's not funny either. Let's give it a try."
"I need to get rid of it. So, what are we gonna do? As you normally train, you ride up close and shoot in a magical attack?
"No, there are too many opponents to do that. If you get intercepted with a bow and arrow, even if you ride, there's a chance of damage over here."
"Then what are we gonna do?
"You've made up your mind. Night raid. Let's launch an attack at night, after dark. If it works, you might be able to turn them back."
Thus, we, the Barca Cavalry, set out to launch a night raid against thousands of troops of the Urk family.
