Chapter 133 - Reassault
"The enemy's marching speed is really slow, isn't it? They're still not here?
"It's probably because Ars-sama launched a night attack on them. If you're on alert, you'll advance even slower than usual."
"I see. Well, in that case, the night raid was meaningful enough. This way, we can prepare in advance. We'll aim for the best spot in their course."
Last time, my nii-san and I led a night raid as a kind of reconnaissance and grasped the existence of the Titan.
So we retreated once after pulling out early, held a military conference at Fort Einrad and set out again, but the Uruk army was still farther away than we thought.
They seemed to be advancing with caution, and their speed of advance seemed to be quite slow, giving us ample time to prepare.
"So, what kind of strategy are you planning to use, Ars?"
"I've already thought of a plan, Baito-nii. Fighting that Titan head will cause damage to us. That's why I'm thinking of setting a trap."
"Trap? But isn't it difficult to trap someone who's already wary of us? They are on their guard after the attack, right?"
"I guess so. That's why a trap is a good way to win the war. Well, I'll tell you more on the way, so let's get ready."
Thus, we set traps along the route of the Uruk army.

"So, you said you were going to set traps, but are you going to attack at night, after all, Ars?"
"I never said that we won't attack at night. There are more of them than us so it can’t be helped."
"Well, yeah. I'm not saying that I want to go head to head with that many people."
Heeh, I thought that my brother would’ve been fine to fight them head on, but as expected, he had enough sense in him.
Anyways, I decided to launch another night's attack.
This time, my goal was to target the Uruk army's Atmos warrior, who uses magic to turn into a giant.
Since the Uruk army was far more numerous than the Barca army, we wouldn’t be able to take them head on under normal circumstances, add the giant on top of that and things would get out of hand very quickly.
That's why we decided to fish out the giant alone with a night attack.
We would attack when they were asleep and wake up the enemy army.
The idea was to lure out the Titan and kill him if possible.
"I found it. The Atmos warrior is over there."
" How do you know that, Ars? Even though you have binoculars, the person still looks like a normal human before gigantification."
"It's easy, nii-san. If you concentrate your mana into your eyes, you can see his mana. I've actually seen the mana of the Atmos warrior during last night's attack, so I can't be wrong."

My target is one person in the Uruk army of several thousand people so, at the very least, I needed to know where my target was in the enemy lines.
But it was much easier than I thought since I was able to distinguish the large amount of magic and the high quality of the magic that unmistakably belonged to the Atmos warrior
"Be careful, Baito-nii. That giant's mana is dangerous. Even if both of us try to fight him, I don't think we can beat him. Just make sure you don't mess up and stick to the plan."
"Is it that bad??”
"Yeah, the quantity and quality of his mana is overwhelming. If you think that his giantification is just a matter of size and strength, you'll die."
"All right. I'll be careful."
"Okay, we'll commence the night attack even later than last time. Our odds are better if it's closer to the middle of the night."
The preparations were already in place.
After confirming the whereabouts of the Atmos warrior in the Uruk army, which had halted its march as the sun was setting and was preparing to set up camp, my brother and I ended our reconnaissance and returned to the Barca army.

The sun had set
After the sun had set and night had fallen, and the waning moon covered by clouds reached past our heads, we finally began to move.
It was much darker than the last time we launched a night attack, but the Valkyries still moved without any problem.
Nii-san and I were the only two scouting the Uruk army. We were being careful not to be spotted by the enemy scouting party.
Since we were checking the area both visually and by magic, I don't think they were aware of us.
However, the Uruk army probably has beastalized knights on the lookout for a night attack.
No matter how hard we tried to muffle the sound and approach, there was a high possibility that we would be detected before we entered the enemy camp.
So, this time, the attack was decided to begin from a distance far enough for them to not detect us.
"I see it. The other side's movement is still slower than before. I'm going to run right into the place where the Atmos warrior is."
The reaction of the Uruk army was delayed by the fact that we started the attack from a distance outside their perception range.
But the other side was already wary and seemed to have deployed a larger number of night watchmen than last time.
Although the start of the movement was delayed, a large number of people were already mobilized.
On the other hand, we’re attacking with only cavalry so we had to be most wary of being surrounded, we had to lure out the giant as fast as we can.
Thus, the battle in the dark began again.
