I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle - Chapter 223

"Arus, you're going to attack Ulk, right?

"Yes, but aren't you going to Leon?

"Yes, I have work to do with Carlos. Unfortunately, I'm not likely to be able to join Ars this time."

I see. I'm so sorry. Leon's strategy would help. "

"So, what do you say we apologize for, but let me give you a piece of advice?

"Oh, you got something?

"Yes, I have something to consider when Arus attacked Ulk territory this time. That means not doing too much damage to the residents of Uluk."

"Yeah? You mean you fight with less damage?

"Of course, you can fight against the Uluk army directly. But I think you should be careful with the residents of Uluk. We shouldn't do anything like destroy the water fortress Paraméa in order to attack it quickly."

"Well, you're not going to commit a genocide, are you?"

"No, it's not. It is also important for future strategy and, above all, for Ars."

"What do you mean?

"Let's start with strategy. The reason for attacking Uluk this time is ostensibly a request for help from the Knight of Uluk, and indeed for the stability of Fontana territory. In order to achieve this goal, it is important to complete the Uluk offensive as soon as possible. However, if you rush too fast to become like Paramedia, the territory will not stabilize even after destroying Ulk. In the end, it becomes a dangerous element when other aristocrats attack."

"I see. First of all, the residents hate me for making it easier for me to rule the land I took."

"Exactly. And there's another reason for that, Ars. This is to improve your own image."

"My image?

"Yes, Ars is known to the nobles, knights, and peasants as a rapidly growing figure in the last few years. However, its reputation is not constant. Some voices say they are good at a series of victories, they are extremely vicious people who are unforgiving to their enemies and allies, or they are gold who let money say things and play with people."

"... which one would seem to have more negative images?

"Not really. Some people say that no matter how much blood Barca bleeds, she has a loyalty heart that follows your lord, Carlos, and that she thinks that her own people will be picked up without discrimination based on their origins. There are really different opinions, and none of them is wrong."

I see. And when I went to Uluk, if I was killing people, it would be more popular. "

"Yes, so act with tolerance. The surrendered opponent forgives without harm, and the inhabitants of the surrendered territory comfort generously. That way, eventually, Arus and I will face each other with our heads hanging from the other side."

"Okay.... but do I have to do that now? It doesn't make much sense to attack the Uluk territory."

"That's right. Its tolerance may not be effective in the fight against Uluk. But there are others who show tolerance. This time, the knight who turns back from Ulk to us is on our side, so we should deal with it."

"Ah, that's better. I thought you might not trust me very much."

"That's right. You won't be able to trust them, but they won't open their minds unless you trust them. If you're dealing with it too hard, it's possible that Arus-sama will also be attacked by a rupture."

"Hmm, that's hard. I also have a question as to when, Leon, and Barca's power can beat Ulk. I need your advice."

"I'm not sure I can win, but I think there's a good chance, Ars. The knight who betrayed Ulk and went to Fontana is a knight."

That being said, Leon handed me some materials.

You've been talking to me since you prepared it to advise me.

The material contained a very large map of Uluk territory and information about the knight who betrayed Uluk to Fontana this time.

Last year, the Knight of Ulk made contact with a traitor inside Fontana and joined forces with the House of Arrests in the west to launch the attack.

I was spreading information that he was a double agent so that the Knight of Ulk could get wet.

Because the work went well, the knight truly abandoned Ulk and swore allegiance to Fontana.

The knight's name is Harold Wong Chilia.

In fact, it seems that he was known as a leading knight in the Ulk realm.

After all, I also heard the name Xylia.

I was once a historic knight from the place name of Kirilla Street, the ambush site where I fought the Ulk family for the first time and took down the Atmos warrior.

A narrow Killian street facing an ambush northeast of Fort Eindrad.

We carried out a night raid on the street and fought many of the Knights of Ulk and the Titans.

Then, after reducing the number of knights who were also commanders, the Ukrainian troops retreated from Kirilla Street and fled to the second city of Ukrainian.

The name of the city is also called Xylia.

In other words, the betrayed knight, Harold Wong Chilia, was a territorial knight ruling the Second City of Urk.

In his first battle against Balka, he forgave the opponent the night raid, which had brought weapons to the Castle in a place called the Kirilla Street, which should have been local, and caused the Uluk army to withdraw 5,000 troops.

And the following year, he preached to the main Uluk family as a strategy for resurrection, and executed the Fontana East West Bilateral War.

This led him to a further breakdown.

Even though Fontana was attacked from the east and west, she responded to the situation and, on the contrary, took over the owner of the Arbarest family and the next owner of the Urk family.

And it is said that the other party caused Ulk painful damage last year.

More than anything else, information came to light that Harold Wong Chilia was not only connected to the Fontana family, but also a trap set up by Harold to cause harm to Ulk.

Originally, the Knights of the Second City of Urk would have stayed laughing and saying that they couldn't have done that.

But two years from now, the Uluk boys will not be defeated.

Even though I can't believe the Keema Cavalry Keema with the old general who has been active in the Eindrad fight many times was defeated, I can't believe it because even the pessies that used Uluk's top magic were attacked.

However, there must be a reason for that, beyond the fact that the two have been taken hostage.

And while thinking about the cause, it led to speculation that there might be someone who tried to trap Uluk.

I'm sure that's what the people of Ulk thought.

When that happens, the story spreads along the ramp, and Harold's position seems to have deteriorated decisively.

Until then, I was prepared to abandon the House of Ulk, which was supposed to have sworn allegiance.

"So treat this Harold with respect. If you succeed in dropping the Ulk Territory, will you give it a capital?

"... the territorial capital may be difficult, but it might certainly work better to promise more territory than to relieve it. Why don't you talk to Carlos, Arus?

Even if I put forward a plan myself, I think Harold's materials will make this much worse if a relationship of trust breaks out.

Try to establish a friendly relationship with Carlos as much as possible.

That's what I learned in my conversation with Leon, and I went back to Carlos to make sure that the newspapers were back together.
