"Are you calling, Master Carlos?"
"Ars. You've come a long way. You must be listening to me on this one, right?
"If you're talking about Master Carlos being protected king, I heard it from Lion.... Are you okay?
"It's okay, what do you mean?
"It means as it is, Master Carlos. Protecting the king's personality would mean being stared at by three aristocrats. Some aristocrats actually tried to secure the king's stature by force, okay?
"To be honest, it was a difficult decision. But it was also a story I couldn't refuse. Naturally, I also take into account what you fear."
"Really? What is Fontana going to do in the future?
"I will hang up on the great nobles for a while now. You can buy time if you pass the ignorant, and more importantly, the three noblemen in the example should not move as soon as they have each other in control of each other's movements. In the meantime, I'd like to eliminate the risk at all."
"Is it a risk?
"That's right. If other aristocrats invade this way, there are others that cannot be ignored to prevent it. Do you know where that is?
"... Urk and Arborest, right?"
"That's right. Two aristocratic houses located east and west of Fontana. It is troublesome to join hands with any of the three great nobles. So I have something for you to do. How much power can Barca mobilize now?
"Are you up to 1,500 now? Could it be..."
"Exactly. Barca will invade the east with all his strength and defeat Urk. Before the great aristocracy moves, it's within reach."
Uh, I thought Carlos would say something weird the moment he ate the call.
But will this still happen?
Will it piss me off if I say no?
Apparently, Carlos is also being pushed into a situation where he can't pull off the rest.
If things get that bad, I wish I didn't accept a king.
However, Carlos' instructions were not incorrect when judging from the current situation.
Eliminate any enemies close to you before the other great nobles turn their attention to Fontana.
Fontana has the aspect that it has never been difficult to expand its territory by means of a large forest that extends north, but on the contrary, there is no fear of being attacked from behind.
If so, if we keep the east and west under control, it will be better to just turn our attention to the south, at least no matter which nobleman comes.
And in last year's battle, the western Arborest realm is getting this one by dropping the hard falling Parameter fortress.
Paramere is one of the doorways of Arborest territory, as well as an exit from Arborest territory.
In other words, as things stand, there is no risk that Arborest will strike this way.
That is, in the east and west, the Urk family in the east is more likely to get in the way.
"But if you want to attack the Wolk family, you'll have a big name, right? Even if Barca rides into Urk territory for no reason, it will not remain governed either, assuming there is no righteousness where he wins. It's not going to stabilize the east, is it, Carlos?
"I know. For this purpose, use the seeds sown last year. You remember that too, don't you?" that he had passed false information on Urk territory. "
"Oh, is that what you call tailoring a double agent to someone who was in contact with a traitor who was in Fontana? And then there was progress?
"Exactly. Looks like this one worked better than I thought. In Urk territory, he's already been recognized as an enemy and placed in a position more like a needle. I'm crying over here."
"I see. Does that mean using Urk's knight, who was connected to the Fontana? Do you feel like you're going into Urk territory to help with a rescue request from a Urk knight?"
"That's fine. I don't know how stuck they are, because they're really sending a letter to Fontana asking for help. He even said he'd pledge his allegiance to Fontana if he got help."
"... that's amazing. Can you trust that one?
"You won't even have to trust anything else. If it's available, and if you swear allegiance and act for Fontana, I'll give you a lot of credit. I can't forgive you if you act like you betrayed us."
"Well, at any rate, you just have to rescue that betrayal knight and take down Urk territory. I get it. Let's do it."
"Better be out-of-the-box. I thought you might say you didn't want to fight any more."
"No, I don't want to fight too aggressively, because the situation is also a situation. Besides, if I get credit, you get territory, don't you, Master Carlos?
"Hmm, are you finally interested in territory? I don't mind. At dawn, when Barca has cut off the Wolk realm, we will promise the right territory."
"Thank you. Actually, I was concerned that although my brother's part-time job was independent and he was a Baltic, he didn't have the territory I could give him. Well, let's just say I'm coming."
"What? Are we going to be out in a minute?
"Yes, Master Carlos. For a long time Barca has been a standing army, not an army that calls and collects peasants to make it. It doesn't take that long to get in formation. Now if you'll excuse me."
Thus the third battle between the Urks and the Barca opened its doors.
