"You're more defensive than I thought...."

"Yes, more than I imagined. I heard Barca is good at building castles, but I didn't think he was so good at caging them."

"Didn't expect to be able to bounce back this many times, Zedan."

"Yes, Master. To be honest, the magic of building walls is more troublesome than expected. I've never even had the chance to build a wall before, rather than repair it during a castle battle."

A tiny castle built by an abominable barca.

When I heard that the part-time team was working on such a rush castle, I wanted to reprimand what I was doing in my heart.

But that was the only reason we had to defend this castle.

A small castle that can accommodate perhaps as many as 1,000 soldiers if packed.

The castle was protected by water surrounded by walls.

What a new castle it was built on the way to the river that leads to Paramère.

He built a castle on the land between the river and the point where the river meets.

Using the river's water is defensive enough not to be a rush castle.

Moreover, the way to intercept from the castle was lewd.

They will surround the castle and throw stones at the army they are attempting to attack.

A stone throw that reaches far beyond the banks of the river.

I wonder if you've trained this stone-throwing attack quite well, or if it's a good attack accuracy.

It's a lewd way to attack.

But what was more troublesome was the magic of building a wall of balkans.

In the beginning, when the story of Barca was heard in Arbarest territory, Barca's magic was mostly ridiculed.

There was nothing to be afraid of, like a knight with magic to build a wall without attack.

In fact, I thought so too.

When I heard that the Uluk family's proud cavalry had been defeated by such an inferior magic barca, I felt that the Uluk family had fallen too.

However, when you actually look at it with your own eyes and experience it, you can see the embarrassment.

Because more and more walls are being built up.

Even though the small castle surrounded by river water is attacked by us, the position of the wall changes every day.

They are building new walls and expanding the castle area as they battle or at night.

A castle that grows every day.

That's exactly what the Arbarest army is seeing right now.

There is something in front of us that is inconceivable in our common sense.

As expected, this castle cannot be left unattended.

If we miss it, we can create a new castle here that threatens Arrestian territory.

Instead of Paraméa, a waterfront fortress that was said to be irresistible, a castle of Fontana, Barca, can be built here.

That alone must be prevented at all costs.

Yes, we were stuck in the enemy's surgery.

The timing of the interception with the House of Ulk will force them to attack the attack targets in front of them, gaining time.

Everything was right over there.

"Master, it seems that we have not chosen a means. It looks like time is running out just to benefit our enemies and nothing good is going to happen to us. I think we should launch a total attack on the entire army, even if we're prepared for some damage."

"Hmm, that's right. All right, Zedan. I'll leave everything to you. For now, the top priority is to take down the castle."

"Yes, of course. I will succeed in attacking the castle using the whole body as the spirit."

"I'm counting on you, Zedan. I look forward to a good report."

After receiving instructions from my master, I lowered my head and left immediately.

Drop castles in this battle.

No matter how much damage you suffer.

I sent a message to all the knights, put in the main force, crossed the river together and headed for the castle.

"Don't flinch! Keep attacking! There are few of them. Keep pushing!

A castle between rivers.

Cross the river toward the castle and attack it.

Apparently, I've been hurrying to throw a stone attack at the sight of our entire army, but it's a waste of time.

We've already figured out in the battle to date how often that catapult will be able to strike next.

Besides, it seems to have been able to throw stones from any direction of the castle, but that is not good in this case either.

Limit the number of Catapults that can be used by attacking from one direction, sewing between the timing of the Catapults' attacks to advance.

By doing so, I managed to cross the river and attach it to the castle while suppressing the damage.

If we get this close, we won't be attacked by the catapults.

The rest is the same as the usual attack on the castle.

Attack the castle in one stroke.

That was supposed to work.

Dawn!!!!!

It was then.

I heard a great noise from across the river.

Was it because I was distracted by the attack on the castle in front of my eyes?

At first, I didn't know what it was.

No, that's not accurate.

I couldn't understand what the sound meant.

That was the sound of lightning falling.

Somehow the sky is darkened by clouds.

But is this natural?

I don't think so, but it is possible that this is not a natural phenomenon.

It's me.

The Arbarest family prides itself on its superior magic Far Thunder .

The fearsome magic released by the master with enormous magic.

When that magic is activated, the surrounding area is stripped of light by clouds, which are obliterated by an unprotectable thunderbolt from the sky.

Magic worthy of being at the top of the knight as a nobleman with overwhelming power.

Was that just a thunder?

Or ours?

No, it's too optimistic that the weather will collapse and lightning will fall at this time.

However, why should I activate Lightning at this time?

That's what I thought.

Lightning and sounds were heard again from one side of the main team.

"Barca, did Ars von Barca show up? Did you come at this time? How did you do that? Weren't you heading far west? No, that's not it. If so, we must hurry back."

Oh, my God.

When I commanded the entire army and attacked the castle.

In other words, the timing when the main team became the weakest.

Ars von Barca came out exactly like he was aiming for that moment.

Otherwise, it is impossible for us to unleash magic and intercept.

Besides, it is.

A second [Ranged Lightning] has already been activated.

This means that we failed to defeat Ars von Barca in the first [Ranged Lightning] and launched another attack.

Did he stop an unblockable attack?

No, that's impossible.

You can't do that.

But a bad feeling didn't go away from me.

Amid anxiety of tightening my chest, I immediately moved towards the main battle.

After crossing the river to get closer to the new castle made by Barca, I was once again moving the route back across the river.

This river is basically not that deep.

Isn't it enough to soak your chest in the deepest place?

Unlike Lake Paramere, there is no monster of ferocious water.

Therefore, when it was attacked, it went straight into the water, and now when it came back like this, it was about to cross to the opposite shore while fighting the flow of water.

I saw the main battalion with the master and the cavalry approaching from behind.

Look at the cavalry staring out of the water.

It's still a white beast.

There are people riding on the Balkan Service Beast, and they are spreading at a glance at our main battalion.

And there, I caught an increase in magic at the edge of my vision.

The horrible magic of our Arbarest army is refined and released into the heavens.

That's exactly what Arbarest's proud [Far Thunder] triggers.

Magic fired at the dark sky triggered an Unblockable [Ranged Lightning] from there.

Light covers your vision with loud sounds that may make you deaf.

At the same time, I felt that the vibration of air caused by lightning was felt on my skin.

Definitely.

Now [Ranged Lightning] is definitely triggered.

Now we must have wiped out all the Balkan cavalry we were approaching.

But my sight came back, and I saw something impossible in my eyes.

The Balkan cavalry, still alive, is still on their way to the main team.

"Why?! Why aren't they dead?!

I accidentally screamed as I stirred up the water.

Regardless, the Balkan cavalry was attacked by [Ranged Lightning] earlier.

I don't think it's impossible to shout why.

But once I screamed, I regained a little calm, and I realized that there was a slight difference between the sights and the sights I had just seen.

What the hell is that?

Barca cavalry appeared somewhere a little different from where they ran.

It was a tall stick.

What I see from my position is really just a high stick.

The colour is white.

A stick stood to stay after Barca ran through it.

But the height is incredibly high.

Could it be about five barca walls high?

Besides, I hadn't noticed that white stick before, but there were others.

A number of similar sticks are erected where the Barca cavalry probably would have gone.

Some of the sticks seemed to be as black as soot.

Maybe that's how you sealed off Lightning ?

Well, that's what I thought.

I don't know how, but there's no doubt that Barca is preventing an attack from using Ranged Lightning .

However, to see the situation, the only thing that changed before and after [Ranged Lightning] was activated was that stick.

Then, I felt the magic increase again in the main battle.

Once again, we will unleash magic.

Earlier, I was watching the main battalion with Master, but this time I will pay more attention to the running Barca cavalry.

Then, the Balkan cavalry also felt the increase in magic in the main battle.

Some Servitors jumped out of the cavalry.

It seems that there are no people on the back, and unlike the service beasts on which people ride, horns grow in their heads.

Could that be the beast with the horns of Barca that can unleash the magic of rumors?

The white beast leaves the cavalry.

It triggered magic some distance away.

I see.

Did that white beast make it by magic?

There was a strange white, tall stick that I saw earlier.

Then, the Far Lightning triggered by our master struck directly there.

"After all, you were blocking it with that stick... My master's [remote lightning]... But...."

That's impossible.

Who comes up with the idea of being able to direct the position of thunder falling from heaven?

But I felt like I saw something more impossible.

That means that that white and tall stick is magic that exists only to seal the Far Thunder used only by the owner of the Arbarest family.

There is no such thing as magic to build a pointless, high stick.

Whatever it was, I only thought it was made for Urban Rest.

"Barca... was Barca's magic created to fight the Arbarest family? Just to get rid of our master...."

When I saw the sight from the river, my feet stopped.

The presence of Barca suddenly appeared in the Fontana family.

Barca scratched Fontana and inflicted even more painful damage on Ulk.

But the real target was our Arbarest.

I was inventing magic to prevent [lightning], just to defeat the current owner of the Arbarest family.

When I realized that, the Barca cavalry was attacking the main battle.

The moment I saw the flame rising from the sword of the leading cavalry, the magic of our master, who was about to release Far Thunder again, sprinkled into the air and disappeared.
