264 Ars Countermeasure Conference

My lord, we have received information that the Barca army has entered the water fortress Paramere.

"Is Barca here? Now the Fontana family is being pushed into a very complicated situation. Because the Memento family in the corner of the three great aristocracies is beginning to show movement. Naturally, you can't ignore that. but how to deal with our arborest with the possibility of getting back there. That's what I saw..."

"Yes, you're right. Whether to hit the Memento family Barca, who continues to make fast advances in the streak of victories. Honestly, I couldn't anticipate what options Fontana would take. But the result seems to be a Barca army on our Arborest."

"Well, it will be as much as we expected. Anyway, there is magic in Barca that seals the top magic of our Arborest family. Then I know that you dare to place a barca that has countermeasures against us without hitting someone named the Memento family. Therefore, let me ask your thoughts. How to fight and win against the Barca army that entered Paramere."

In last year's battle, the Arborest family suffered defeat against the Fontana army.

There was an overwhelming difference in power, and besides, we lost in the favorable situation of fighting the Urks in the east.

Besides, it's not just a defeat.

It was a defeat that should not be taken over by Ars von Barca.

We won't forget this for a year or a day.

He swore he would do the snowflake.

Information was brought about that its Ars von Barca led the Barca army into Paramere, originally said to be a fortress of intransigent defeat in Arborest territory.

Paramere today is ruled by a knight named Ghana von Ikes.

The Ikes are a knightly territory originally in a position to border the Arborest territory, but their scope was greatly expanded by the battle of the previous year.

The Ikes rule seems to be working, and Paramere is completely in their hands.

Barca is also important, but you will need to pay off your debt firmly to this Ikes family as well.

The size of the army currently in Paramere is about 4,000, combined with both Barca Ikes armies.

By contrast, this one can move 8000 again if you send out all the troops.

No, the other guy is that Barca.

I guess you could mobilize a soldier called 10000.

It was when I was turning my mind around so much.

Instructions are given to share Barca's information, which I have examined, in order to deepen the discussions between the ministerial groups of the Arborest family, beginning with your lord.

No, I suppose you'd rather hear about Ars von Barca that person than the Barca army itself.

That's why I started talking.

After last year's battle, I desperately gathered information about Ars von Barca.

Ars von Barca.

A man who turns 12 this year and his body is still a growing child.

Ars' appearance on the tabular stage was a disturbance in Fontana territory a few years ago.

It was a so-called peasant uprising known as the "unrest in Barca".

The Fontana family is one of the historical aristocrats who have maintained their territory for many years, though sandwiched by the Urk family in the east and the Arborest family in the west.

However, the Fontana family's blood muscles were interrupted by a previous war.

Carlos de Fontana, who survived at the time.

Raymond von Barbaros, the famous knight who protected and raised that Carlos, who was only a child.

The Raymond, known as the Ice Guardian, was suddenly debated one day.

The Ten Himself was the boy who was currently 8 years old at the time known as Ars von Barca.

I couldn't believe most of it when I heard that story.

I was wondering if that ice guardian would ever lose to just a peasant child or something.

But it was true.

Raymond was undoubtedly defeated by a peasant boy.

But the movement around him lacked glory in this sudden big incident.

Originally, Fontana territory had to disappear more than the fall of the great black pillar Raymond, who was protecting the Fontana family.

But it wasn't.

Likewise, children who were still supposed to be boys showed remarkable work.

The person is Carlos de Fontana.

Shortly after Raymond, who was an asylum-seeker, disappeared, he put the whole house together and put Ars von Barca, the tenant who had just discussed Raymond, into his own nostalgia.

And as it was, the rule of Fontana territory by Carlos began.

Despite the fact that Raymond, who had partitioned everything in the Fontana family until now, did not cause any major problems, and resolutely responded to the rebellious knights of self-rule to stabilize the territory.

Besides, that wasn't all.

Carlos and Ars both kept moving.

The result is as many things know it.

He continues to win with the momentum of the bamboo of winning a series of battles.

But that won't be the only thing worth noting.

I tend to get eyes on the victory itself, but I don't.

The most fearful part is the "constant battle".

Ars von Barca has appeared, and he's been fighting ever since Carlos showed his head.

This is inherently scarier than anything else.

Usually moving an army forces a lot of spending.

But not in Fontana.

They don't starve at all, despite constant fighting.

Why is that?

I was researching Fontana. The thing I paid the most attention to was about that.

And that was still involving Ars von Barca.

It's him.

His magic had its secrets.

Ars von Barca's magic can also prevent the Arborest family's top magic [Far Thunder], or it has the ability to create a base in a very short time.

But more than that, we were able to explode crops.

That was the root of Fontana's unusual movements today.

Noticed that I looked up about the magic Ars von Barca had.

But along the way, I came to know a terrible secret.

Thanks, he didn't inherit and use magic like a normal nobleman.

Ars von Barca was a magician who could activate magic without using spells, but also a wizard who could use his own magic just to emit spells.

Ars von Barca can create magic.

And that number was unusual.

In addition to magic that can also be used in battles such as [Shotgun] and [Body Enhancement], [Landscaping] and [Soil Improvement] to increase yields, and [Wall Architecture] that makes architecture happen in a while.

The number of magic can reach as many as 15 just to find out.

In addition to these, it is also possible to use the attack magic of the Fontana family.

Of course, [Ice Elixir Summoning], Fontana's top magic, could also be used.

Although there have been reports that it is significantly inferior to Carlos, who is in charge of it.

Abnormality.

I would run out of that one word.

Besides, he can also name his own created servant beasts and make them use magic.

I don't know why, but Ars von Barca seems to be closely related to the church.

I don't even think the Church would approve of giving magic to a servant beast if it were normal.

but the other day he was appointed the Holy Knight.

I guess that means that the Church tolerates that point.

But it's not like I don't have the skills to follow that one either.

I looked up to this point and I noticed his tactics.

A way for the Arborest family to beat the Barca army under the command of Ars von Barca.

"Wow. What kind of a way is that?

"Yes, my lord. It's in the magic of his use. Ars von Barca specializes in a wide variety of magic and the presence of servant beasts who use it more than anything else. so it's fine if you don't let them use them on the battlefield."

"... maybe that's true. But what exactly is the way?

"Yes, I believe it is most effective to fight a water battle to beat the Barca army led by Ars von Barca"

"A water war? You mean fight on the water."

"That's right. On land, the magical [wall architecture] of the one will work very well. In addition, according to my research, the same goes for [Atmos Wall], which prevented the top magic [Far Thunder] that Arborest prides itself on. They're all activated by putting their hands on the ground."

"What. That far-sighted enchantment magic can't be used unless it's on earth?

"That's right. Ars von Barca's [Atmos Wall] is required to reach the ground when activated. That's not the case with [shotgun] and so on and Fontana's [ice spear], but the advantage of being able to prevent attacks by [faraway lightning] is limitless. If you're on water, you can seal it."

"... I see. Moreover, if it means a water battle, it means a battle by a ship floating on water. Will his servant beast be used?"

"Yes. Besides, the Barca army has not experienced any water warfare to date. Experience is completely different in soldiers of arborest rich in water and in soldiers of Barca. If you pull into a water battle, you'll win."

"... All right, all right. Let's lower our Arborest army to the Midway River. There, it is also suitable for carrying out sea warfare using ships in order to serve as a defensive line to protect the territorial capital. Always let the hate Barca armies sink Ars von Barca to the bottom of the water. Those of you who have heard, get ready immediately."

"" "" "Ha" ""

With my word, your lord made his decision.

The most dangerous opponent for Arborest.

Stop beating that opponent until he has no full skin.

To do so, we need to lure our opponents into a water war.

That would be my job, too.

Let them limit the course of the Arborest attack and cross a big river called Midway, not land.

To do this, you'll need to think about breaking even the Midway Bridge on the river.

Thus, our Arborest army lured the Barca army out of the water fortress Paramere to wage a war on the water.
