"Oh, wow. Banging stones are flying from Fort Einlad."
"Right. But the Urk army also seems to be resolutely attacking. From what I've seen, we haven't decided on each other yet. Is it glued, Master Ars?"
"You think so, too, Lion? Maybe there's room for both. Looks like they're saving each other's primary fighting power."
"Well, what are you going to do now, Master Ars? May I ask if you have any thoughts?
"... I was going to go see Master Carlos when I got to Fort Einrad. But it's hard to get close because the Urks are surrounding the fort. What to do…"
"This one is less than 1000 in the Barca Graham army, right? I think it's dangerous to break the siege of the Urk army and enter Fort Einrad."
"When that happens, we're only going to have enough to attack from the outside we're surrounding, aren't we, Lion? Feel like we're gonna focus on the cavalry and make a tick and a blow away attack."
"Not bad, but as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to suggest another proposal, Master Ars"
"What? What do you have in mind, Lion?
"We will lure the Urk army to the dead. Like the last time Master Ars defeated the Urk Army."
"... Are you saying we're going to strike again at night and put it in a trap, Lion? You don't even think about them enough to get caught doing the trap you just ate once again. If you beat the Arborest Army because of this, and you die risking your life here, you're dead, right?
By the time it was time to reach Fort Einrad, I was on Valkyrie and ahead of the road.
Reconnaissance.
Because I wanted to see with my own eyes what the situation was with Fort Einlad, where Carlos is.
And I followed you with me, Lion.
I was talking to that Lion from afar looking through binoculars at Fort Einrad.
Apparently, the Urk army is sieging Fort Einrad and setting up a siege.
But Fort Einlad, which I have renovated, will not be so easily torn down.
Whatever it is, it is tightly surrounded by [the wall of Atmos].
But that, on the contrary, also led to the aspect of attacking the Fontana army led by Carlos.
Originally, it was a defensive side in a two-way operation that could be attacked from the east and west, with the circumstance that Fontana's power had to be divided.
Even if you can hold onto the fort and defend it, you can't beat it.
I was in such an adhesive state.
So we exchange opinions with Lion on how our troops will get their hands on it.
but lion has rather recommended dangerous maneuvers for my passive but definite proposal.
Do I need to go out of my way to risk it?
"Okay, Master Ars. Oddly enough, the same situation is being reproduced this time. I still think we should try to fish out the Urk army to where the trap is waiting. No, rather, we only have a chance now"
"What do you mean, Lion? The situation is being recreated?
"Yes. Try to remember. About why the last night attack against the Urk Army was a success."
"You said why. I can only think of a place where I could have prepared the trap well, or where Valkyrie helped..."
"I think that has also been a factor of success. but the biggest factor should have been that Master Ars showed them something they couldn't overlook for the Urks"
"... well, that's a nine-tailed sword. Surely the knights of Urk saw the Nine-Tailed Sword and came after us unguarded."
"That's right. On that occasion, they also had the option to just stay alert without chasing them at the time they prevented the night raid. But I got stuck brilliantly with the bait called the Kyouo Sword. It also had the effect of a trap, but the biggest defeat for Urk was being caught by a nine-tailed sword."
"So you're saying you're gonna show off your nine-tailed sword and pull out your opponent again this time? Will it work that far?
"No, the Kyouo sword alone doesn't necessarily catch the same next time. But there's even better bait this time."
"Better bait? Is that what you have, Lion?
"Yes, it's Master Ars. For the Urk Army today, what Ars looks like will always be the bait to devour."
"Do you have a minute, Mr. Lion? Are you thinking of treating me like bait?
"I'm sorry, Master Ars. That wasn't the right way to put it. But it is true that Master Ars will attract the Urk army."
"I don't mind. I want Kyle and Lion to take care of me more. But how can I be the bait?
"Think about it. Purpose of the Urk Army. They contacted the Arborest family in the west, and they ran an operation to intercept them from the east and west."
"Right. So?"
"But that operation is now ending in failure. in the form of the defeat of the Arborest family on the other side. Moreover, that information has already spread around. It's unlikely that the Urks know anything about it."
"Right. Maybe it's impossible that you don't know that Arborest lost. Even the villagers knew until we got here."
"That's right. But the Urk army, whose operation was supposed to have failed, is still staying on this land for some reason. Despite the temporal respite that we have been advancing our soldiers without haste. Why do you think that is?
"Maybe... you were waiting for us to come, or something?
"That's right. Mr. Ars, to be exact. One year ago, in a battle called Einlad's Battle for the Hills, Ars von Barca, a lodging enemy who defeated the Urk family lord's real son and his cavalry and made Urk's reinforcements unsustainable overnight. Lord Ars, the head of the Barca family, defeated the Arborest family and headed east. Why do you dare to keep waiting in this situation? That doesn't mean they're after Master Ars' neck."
"Seriously. Is there a guy in the world who's after my neck or something? You're making too much noise..."
"So if Master Ars shows up with a nine-tailed sword, how do you think the opponent will move?
"... you're seriously going to come after me. Take precedence over Einrad's siege."
"Exactly. That is, this is the basis on which Master Ars will be the best bait. It's the first time. First and foremost, the Urk Army can definitely fish. Which means there's a winning chance there."
"I see. Talk about setting a trap because you can definitely tell the next hand of the opponent. Fine, fine. I'll play the big role of bait, Lion."
"Thank you, Master Ars. Now let's get ready."
What Lion says is not wrong.
but I'm still afraid to expose myself to someone so resentful and waiting for me.
But you'll have to.
Even if I ran away here, if I didn't have a guarantor of my identity named Carlos, I'd be in trouble one day.
Then we have a chance here. I just have to think the situation is good.
That's how I decided to set a trap against the Urks again.
