"Tell the Fontana Army, especially the Barca Army. Now, turn back from here. This land has been ruled for many years by our Arborest family. If you don't leave, you'll sink into the bottom of this great river called Midway."
A very large river called the Midway River.
Arborest territory is a land where multiple rivers flow in, and several of its rivers merge to become even larger rivers.
A particularly large river among them was this Midway river.
We also need to cross this river in order to reach the territorial capital of Arborest.
but it is a difficult situation for the Barca army, the enemy, to make it happen.
Because our Arborest army has already destroyed the bridge over this Midway River.
Without the Midway Bridge, the Barca army would have to make a major detour for the territorial capital, or use a boat to cross the river.
But the option of detouring should be difficult.
It is inefficient to move large armies because they need to travel quite a distance.
And as expected, the Fontana army, starting with the Barca army, was set to line up by the Midway River.
They should definitely use the boat to cross this river.
Intercept there.
Shipping techniques using water flow are undoubtedly better in the Arborest army.
More importantly, your Lord can attack Ars von Barca, the Lord of Barca.
No matter how Ars von Barca is on the water, they will not be able to prevent [far-sightedness].
Line up your fleet over the Midway River.
Then, in one of the ships, the master comes forward and emits a loud and dignified voice at the front door.
In contrast, one ship also comes out of the Fontana side to speak.
They're lining up some of the names they used for this invasion of Arborest.
Says he's telling us to prepare a ship against the Arborests to transfer the king staying in Fontana to King's Land.
but he claims that the action of our Arborest, which refused to do so, was disloyalty to the King, making it this battle.
But after all, it was not a request to be heard.
What Fontana asked for was to provide all the river ships Arborest had.
There's no way that's acceptable.
Obviously, it was a request we prepared just to attack this one.
It can also be said that it is a spiteful demand that exploits the King's presence.
The master also pointed out the point and stuck it.
Well, you know they can't accept that claim either.
Each side will say its own words, and the ship of the Lord will turn back to the centre of the fleet, where it is separated.
Thus, the Arborest and Fontana armies clashed on the Midway River.
"Proceed! Teach the Barca army the horrors of the Arborest army. You must take Ars von Barca!
Your lord issued a decree, and a number of Arborest river ships floating on the Midway River began to move.
Many river ships are the size of a boat that can boast about 10-20 people.
It can be said that it is just spectacular that roughly 500 river ships begin to move in response to your Lord's voice.
By contrast, all the ships that Fontana would have collected from the village by the river there are small ships.
There's no way I'm going to be a decent opponent.
The Arborest army, which grabbed the stream of the river, approaches Gungun and the Fontana army.
Seeing their unfamiliar manoeuvring skills, I was convinced.
He said he could definitely win this battle.
"Ice Summon"
That's when I heard you in the wind.
It wasn't particularly loud or anything.
But I did hear it.
My head recognized the word as it flowed naturally into wonder and into this ear.
Ice essence summons.
That is undoubtedly the superior magic that the main class of the Fontana family has.
And there's only one person on this occasion who can use it.
Ars von Barca, the new main knight of Fontana.
He activated the superior magic.
Happily see the fleet of Fontana troops.
Then, surprisingly, he was on the ship at the head of the convoy.
Ars von Barca, who was supposed to have mentioned the front door with his lord, was still in front of the enemy fleet.
Why.
Normally, it should pull back when the front door is over.
Even so, the figure of Ars von Barca, visible from here, is laid back at the head of the enemy fleet.
And there began to be anomalies around that Ars von Barca.
The balls of blue light came out one after the other.
Could that be the ice sperm that can summon him?
I'm talking about the weakest ice sperm with no offense at all.
What the hell are you going to do with that?
On the stream of the river, this one gets closer and closer to the other.
But in the meantime there have always been ice sperm around Ars von Barca.
No, that's not all.
That number kept increasing.
Not just around his ship, but everything around him becomes full of balls of blue light.
What are you after?
Isn't that just letting them know where you are and inviting yourself into danger?
"Frozen"
"Hey, what?!?
But things changed much faster than this one got to them.
He said something.
Only then did the situation change dramatically.
It freezes.
I was in the mood to be shown the impossible.
This Midway river only has a wide river width, and the water doesn't flow so fast.
But the water does flow.
But the river was starting to freeze.
Using Ars von Barca as a starting point.
The water on the river was starting to freeze from the location of the one on the ship leading the Fontana Army towards this side, which should be moving towards it.
"Bye, I guess. Hatter. You can't possibly do that. It's impossible to freeze the range of this convoy."
"Yes, no. Wait, my lord. Look at him again. He has what Ars von Barca has in his hand."
"What's in your hand?... hey, is that a demon stone? It's also oversized..."
"What if that's the rumored dragon demon stone? Suppose you're using the magic enclosed in that demonic stone to freeze your surroundings... Not good, my lord. He may be willing to freeze this Midway River and move over its ice to come after this one. I thought you were going to lead us to a water battle, but you were going to get behind it."
"... I see. Do you use powerless ice sperm that way? All hands on alert. They're gonna run on this ice and get on this ship and start a white soldier war."
What a horrible man.
I'm going to do something I don't even think about.
I had no idea they were going to try to overturn a situation that was unfavourable to them with such force moves.
In a hurry, predict the behavior that can be taken and tell the owner.
When I heard about it, the customer immediately responded.
Seeing the ice stretched out on this ship so that it stopped moving, it seems that the soldiers of the Arborest Army have noticed the seriousness of the matter.
Instead of the water in the river, we're freezing to the ship we're on.
He hurries down and grabs the weapon in his hand.
If this happens, we'll have to do it.
A showdown on a river stopped by ice.
But depending on what you think, this situation hasn't gotten any worse.
After all, it's not like this place has changed from water to ground right now.
Magic such as Barca's [wall architecture] cannot be used on this ice.
If that's the case, it won't change anything in favor of this one with a large number of soldiers.
"Ice Flaming Sword, Burn Ice"
But I, my lord, and all the other knights could not react to the voice of Ars von Barca, which was heard next.
No, I didn't hear you.
The words he uttered were well heard.
But I had no idea what that meant.
Everyone couldn't react properly.
Neither do I.
All I could do was look with both eyes at what Ars von Barca did next.
Ars von Barca, who came out ahead of the ship, pulls his sword out of his waist.
What, that one?
I do not know such a sword.
It's a light purple sword.
Could it be a magic sword?
But unlike any magic sword, such as the hard tooth sword, the holy sword, or the nine-tailed sword in Barca.
It was a sword I didn't even know I was looking into Barca.
Ars von Barca protrudes that pale purple sword over the ice.
That's the first time I've noticed it.
He summoned the ice sperm to freeze his surroundings.
Seeing it, I thought I was going to get closer to this convoy through its ice.
But it wasn't.
The ice was only stretching forward of Ars von Barca, that is, towards our Arborest army.
No water around the ships of the Fontana Army is frozen.
Doesn't that just mean they weren't willing to move over the ice from the start?
"Also, it's burning... The ice is burning. They're coming this way!
"Oh, it's impossible. Why is the ice burning!
"Retreat!! Quickly retreat. Rapid swirl."
"Mm, I can't. All ships in this convoy are sealed by ice. Instead of swirling, you can't even move."
It was an annoying cry.
My Arborest army fleet was moving over a large river called the Midway River.
It was the countless ice sperm summoned by Ars von Barca that sealed all movements.
And that didn't end there.
A magic sword that he has and has never seen.
That has determined the defeat of the Arborest army.
The frozen ice from each fleet turned into flames.
I felt the ice burning at first, but maybe not.
The ice itself turns into flames.
Freeze the ship and hardened ice turns into flames.
In other words, every ship the Arborest army boarded was set on fire.
It's my fault.
This would not have happened if I had not suggested water warfare to your lord and others.
The Barca army has never experienced a water battle before.
That's for sure.
The Arborest army definitely prevailed if we fought as a water battle.
There is no mistake in that.
But it wasn't.
Ars von Barca was never able to fight on the water.
The other way around.
The Ice Flame Sword, which is his [Ice Essence Summon] and the unknown magic sword.
The combination of these two leads us to a completely different conclusion.
Do not fight Ars von Barca on the water.
Waiting now or now for you to be able to fall into the water as you are burned by the flames, along with the burning Arborest army.
We, the Arborest army, could not even unite with him, and thus all burned to death on the river.
