"What... so... Is that true?
"Ha. The water fortress Paramere has fallen by the army of Fontana"
"Stupid. Not very, but incredible. Didn't we start moving over there in the first place after our Arborest troops began marching for Fontana territory? It could be temporal, like attacking Parameters in Arborest territory in this short period of time."
"But it's true. Apparently, there was something fast-paced in Fontana's army."
"Anything that moves as fast as that, etc... No, are you there? Maybe it has something to do with Barca the example and his servant beast?
"Ha. You're right. The Barca army using the rumored White Warcraft broke into Arborest territory and immediately attacked the Aquatic Fortress Parameters."
"Right. Sounds like Barca and I have been hearing rumors lately that footwork is a lot lighter. If you think you were rampaging around in Fontana territory, did you come to Urk territory next and even Arborest this time? But no matter how fast the servant beast tells you to travel, is that difficult water fortress really something that falls in such a short period of time?
"According to the report, Parameter was submerged."
"Submerged? Parameters, every fortress?
"Ha. Looks like the water level in the lake has risen and the fortress has sunk into the water. At that time, the demons of the lake broke in, attacked people inside the fortress and caused great damage."
"Wait a minute. Paramere is a fortress, but not the only soldier. Some of them must have lived in the fortress. What happened to them?
"... is wiped out. All those who were in the water fortress Paramere, knights and soldiers and residents alike, died. Looks like he lost his escape completely due to rising water levels and lake demons."
"Hey, what the hell. How many people have lost their lives? What a horrible thing..."
I make sure that the Lord of the Arborest family, who governs the Arborest realm, holds his head.
A decree arrived at the main unit marching to Fontana territory.
At first I just thought it was a no big deal report.
Anyway, we haven't even reached the enemy yet.
The Arborest family mobilizes to attack the Fontana family in coordination with the Urk family in the east.
Something terrible happened during that march.
Everyone listening to the decree reporting to the Lord must have found it incredible.
In fact, I thought so, too.
But there is no need at all for this decree to deliberately report such lies.
Perhaps this story is an event that actually happened.
But could there be such things as submerging a fortress located in the middle of the lake?
It was also terribly short-lived, and when it was literally wiped out.
"That was a good thing with the white devil who killed all of Urk's cavalry. Wouldn't someone named Ars von Barca not have a human heart?"
"Maybe it does, Zedan. But the fact that Paramere fell doesn't work. Do you have any ideas on how we should act in the future?
"Yes, my lord. It's unexpected that Paramere fell, but I think it's important to look at things broadly and in a big way. The Fontana army, starting with the Barca army, appears to have a small number, according to reports. Perhaps their purpose is to stop us."
"I guess so. We're working with Urk to stop us from trying to pinch him. That's what they're after."
"Exactly, my lord. I guess the Fontana Army is trying to seal this move by dropping Parameters and forming a line there. but now our emphasis will be on successful interdiction with the Urk family. I think it would be a good idea to keep marching."
"Please wait. I disagree with Lord Zedan. Parameters were killed even by the people who lived there, right? You can't just leave the Barca people like this. We should be sure to drop it."
"Hmm. I think I might have a point. Of course it is important to pinch Fontana territory as it was originally intended, but honestly you and the Barca army in Paramere may be good at it. I don't know if it's a good idea to ignore it."
"Right, so how about this, my lord? We're going to split our main army into two parts: we're going to put about a thousand to 2,000 troops ahead of us and we're going to show them attacking Fontana territory, and the rest of us are going to be alert to the Barca armies that are forming in Paramere and so on. Capture and destroy the Barca army that came out of Paramere to defend Fontana territory. I was wondering if that would allow us to move on to Fontana without the worry of hindsight, and bring back Paramere."
"... I think it's a good idea, but will it come out? Is the purpose of the Barca Army to attract this one? If so, I wonder if there is an option to pull on Parameter as a priority to attract the main unit even if we leave the preceding separate task force behind."
"Probably not. If we send forward the advance troops, I think the formula for coming out of Paramere is huge."
"What makes you think that, Zedan?"
"That's because Barca is not the only army in Fontana, there are other knights' armies as well"
"How does that relate?
"My lord, the Knight of Barca is not bordered by the Arborest. but the other knights are different. It is the territory of a knight other than Barca that the preceding troops attack. And those knights will want to defend their territory. Even if there are a few troops ahead of us, we will be divided among the troops of Fontana."
"I see. The other knights try to act to defend their territory, and if Barca holds it down, it means they'll be abandoned from themselves. The Fontana Army is not a single rock. So it's an operation?"
"Exactly. You can hear Barca's work here, but Ars von Barca is not at the top of the Fontana army. The knights are only reciprocal to each other, and they fall apart so much that they can't even defend Fontana territory if they ever ignore the opinions of other knights. If you have a head to tell, you have to strike out of Parameter to stop this movement, even if it's unfavourable."
"I see. All right, all right. Let's send 1,500 advance troops. The rest intercept the Fontana army that came out of Paramere on the Plains of Guillades. The Barca army in the Fontana army, especially Ars von Barca, shall I deal with myself?"
"Do you have a Lord? Isn't that just what you don't need? If you leave it to us, we will definitely pick up Ars von Barca."
"No, Barca's power is unknown. There is no shortage to deal with. Leave it to me."
"... Your will"
No way, I didn't think our Lord would deal with Barca himself.
But if it does, we'll know the result from the beginning.
The lord of the aristocracy is so strong.
In ordinary people, it doesn't matter if there are a bunch of knights who don't get together more than once.
That is the power of the Lord of Aristocracy.
The magical [thunderbolt] that the Arborest family possesses has the strength to repel other knights, but it does not extend far to the [Far Thunder], the top magic that the Lord possesses.
Because it is an attack by an indefensible thunder falling from heaven from a distance that can never be reached.
It's impossible to even get close.
But the superior magic of the Lord is forced to consume a considerable amount of magic to exert so much power.
That would be the same for other aristocrats.
Not possible in knights to deal with the main class.
Therefore, the opponent of the main class must be the main class.
It is necessary not to cause our Lord to wear out considering the possibility of hitting with Carlos, the Fontana family owner.
However, it was determined that Barca needed to appear in formation by the Lord himself.
Are you so wary of something called Ars von Barca?
If so, I will give my Lord my full support.
Surely, it will draw Barca into the stage of death with a complete attitude.
Having so decided, I began to prepare to intercept the Fontana army with the selection of the advance troops.
