"Will Lion go west with Barca, too?... and should I call you Lord Lion?
"Nothing. You can do as you've always done. As always, I will call you" Master Ars. "
"Right, okay. Then keep it up, Lion. So, Barca and the other knights, combined, are going to be about 1,500 in the coalition, but you think this is gonna be okay?
"I can't say anything because I don't know what the total number of Arborest families is going to be that they're still coming from the west. but it would definitely be a few disadvantages."
"Right. I mean, what about Master Carlos heading east? Is everything okay over there?
"What do you think? The Wolk family will be somewhat better off because of last year's damage, but I think it's likely to be a few disadvantages."
"Hmm. Isn't this honestly packed? It ends at a time when we're being held hostage at the same time by separate aristocrats."
"I think the cause of this lies, for one thing, in Master Ars. You can always scratch the Fontana territory and say that."
"You can't help it. Because this is what would have happened if I had taken the option that I had no choice but to get flushed by the situation. It's all his fault. He's been provoking me. He's got a young knight like you."
"It is also a troubling thing for Lord Raffin, but it would not be good to speak ill of those who have already died. So, what are you going to do now, Master Ars?"
"What are we gonna do, that's what we're gonna have to fight for? With an aristocrat-led army called Arborest."
"I see. Now let's get ready for that. I think it's a prerequisite to first look up the number of enemies and decide as soon as possible where to intercept them and create a position."
"Huh?"
"... what's wrong, Master Ars?
"No, I thought Lion was going to intercept the Arborest family..."
"Oh, no?
"If you do that, there will be damage over here. I don't want to die."
"What are you talking about, Master Ars? No way, are you going to run away somewhere against Master Carlos' orders? Exactly. You can't do that. I don't agree with that idea."
"No, no, I don't mean that, Lion. What I'm trying to say is, I don't think we need to bother intercepting the Arborest family. The only order I have from Master Carlos is to stop the invasion of the Arborest family. That means we just have to stop the other side from attacking, right?
"Maybe, Master Ars. What you're thinking is, don't go into protection?
"That's the thing, Lion. Let's attack the Arborest family from this side. Just scratch the other side of the country and stop trying to get your hands on Fontana."
Talk to Lion as he moves in, who is set to reign as the new Lord next to the Knights of Barca.
Carlos had ordered me to start moving quickly.
The Barca army and the newly acquired Graham family quickly gather their troops to move to absorb the Knights located further along the border of the territory with the Arborest family to the west.
but along the way, it seemed that some of me and Lion were having an affair about this operation.
Could the Lion one have been willing to make and cage even a position surrounded by walls at the border between Fontana and Arborest territory?
It's not like I can do anything, but I didn't really want to do that.
At any rate, even the Fontana army, led by Carlos, which serves as the main unit, could be a few disadvantages to the Urk family.
It's too scary for us to consolidate our defense in a situation where reinforcements don't exist to help us.
Maybe that'll work, but it's just as likely to fail.
If so, I'd rather choose to attack than defend.
Strike it out of here and damage the Arborest family.
If that works and your opponent will retreat, then you just need to consolidate your defense.
"That's how it goes. That's Ars. You know exactly what I mean."
"Bite brother? You look happy."
"That's right. Why are you fighting a battle while I'm gone, Ars? It's sloppy."
"You're not sloppy. It's not like I wanted to fight. I can't help it in the circumstances."
"Liar. When I heard you attacked the knighthood next door, we all figured it was a fuss to finally do it. Isn't there someone who likes to fight as much as you?
"Don't joke about it, brother Byte. I'm basically pacifist. I just want to live in peace without fighting."
"Okay, okay. But I reviewed it, didn't I? Heard you fought for your woman without hesitation. Sometimes I don't know what to think. Sometimes I know you were a man too."
"Well, you do. I mean, a lot of people think like a part-time brother, so I can't pull it off. If I'd handled it sweetly over there, there'd be no one to follow me."
"You bet. Can your people protect those who can't even protect their own women? So, where are we going to attack this time? I'll stick with you this time, Ars."
"No, blah, blah. I haven't thought about it at all. I don't know much about Arborest territory. I don't know what's good about it, Lion. It's easy to attack in an opponent's steeple, and you can't ignore the opponent if they attack you, but isn't there somewhere you can drop it?
"There can't be, I'm just saying, if it's Master Ars, or something like that."
"Oh, is there such a place? What place?
"It's Fortress Paramere. Although it has a reputation that it has never been broken since the Parameters were created in what the Arborests proudly call the fortress of the impenetrable downfall."
"... I don't think it's going to be easy to drop. Well, do you want me to put you on the list for now? The guys who put them out for scouts will be back soon, and we'll have another operational meeting as soon as the information is gathered. Both of you, okay?
"Ooh."
"Yes."
Thus, the time approached for the impending interception to Arborest.
