Chapter 64 - Surrender

"This is like a game to me. Give up, Vargas."

"Damn ..., what the hell just happened ..."

 Vargas was blown to the ground, but he didn't seem to lose consciousness.

 When I called out, he was muttering in a confused manner that something incomprehensible happened.

 The attack I made on Vargas is the same as before, a long-range magic attack.

 But it wasn't [Shotgun].

 Of course, if this quarrel was settled with [Shotgun], that would be fine, too.

 However, Vargas was unexpectedly strong, so I used the [Shotgun] as a decoy to launch the actual attack.

 Vargas sensed the aim of my attack from the angle I turned my palm to, and heard the sound of me casting the spell to know the timing of the attack.

 He quickly got used to my attacks.

 By persistently continuing to avoid [Shotguns] many times, Vargas eventually took an action of abandonment by launching his own counter-attack even if he was going to be injured.

 But this is exactly what I was planning.

 I never thought that he would be able to approach without taking any damage, but it made sense to prevent him from taking the action of detecting my aim and avoiding the attacks.

 So, I decided to launch a surprise attack as soon as Vargas decided to abandon defense, and started launching a counter-attack.

 No matter how strong he is and however many times he has fought on battlefields, if Vargas is surprised, some damage will surely be dealt.

 When he exposed himself before my magic attack, I made a magic attack without using a spell name.

 My attacks so far had been fired after I said [Shotgun] until then.

 Vargas had heard that, so he was able to know when I cast the spell.

 This would work in Vargas's favor if someone else was the other party.

 However, I can cast magic even if I don't say the name of it.

 I imagined a rock that was bigger and harder than the ones that were shot with [shotgun] in my head, and fired it silently.

 Vargas would not have been able to detect it until he was attacked.

 In this way, my counter attack was decided brilliantly.

 However, I have to say that Vargas was still amazing.

 He should have been completely surprised, but he used his great sword to protect himself and reduce the damage.

 However, it caused his sword to break sharply.

"Okay. I lost. Let's surrender. But please. Don't hurt the people in this village."

 After I defeated Vargas, the people of Barca village were delighted, letting out loud cheers.

 Are you happy that someone from your village has won against a 'hero' from a neighboring village that you saw and heard about on the battlefield?

 However, there was a sign that the joy was overheated.

 Group psychology at such times may be dangerous.

 Even a good and kind person may be exposed to an enthusiastic atmosphere and behave in ways that would not normally be possible.

 That may be even more so, especially now that we have weapons with us.

 Vargas may be afraid that his village will be overrun because of his loss.

 That's why it may be that he surrender to me instead of just giving up.

 That is good, too.

 From now on, we are ready to fight with the aristocrats who rule the land.

 However, that is not the case when it comes to having sufficient strength.

 Rather, our numbers may be too few despite having gathered people from the village.

 Originally, we came to this village for the purpose of expanding our strength.

 Isn't it necessary to have a man like Vargas on our side?

"Okay, Vargas, I promise we won't hurt the villagers if you support us."

"I understand. Let's promise to fight together, Ars."

"It's a promise. Thank you."

 In this way, I was able to increase our strength as I originally intended.

 Everything went as planned!

TLN: Psssssh.

"Wow. I never thought the day would come when I would be able to use magic."

 Immediately after adding Vargas to my allies, I gave him our Barca surname so that he would be able use magic.

 It may be strange that Vargas, who is a human living in the neighboring village, has Barca as a surname, but I also gave Barca surnames to people who have nothing to do with my village, such as Gran and the ojiisan, so it doesn't matter.

 I don't have to stick to the people in the village.

 Rather, by calling ourselves the same Barca, I think we can get a sense of unity and fight well.

 I don't know what it really is, but for the time being, I named Vargas based on this idea and let him learn magic.

 There was the unforeseen situation of fighting Vargas.

 As a result, the story turned in a rather good direction.

 It was great that I was able to show everyone how I could fight.

 If you think about it, it's natural.

 I'm a child who isn't even an adult yet.

 No matter how much I can use magic, it's not so easy to trust and believe in me personally.

 I think there were many people who were thinking of leaving me and running away when it really came to the fighting part.

 However, when they actually saw me fighting, it seemed that their mindsets were changing.

 Vargas, who has a track record of rampaging on the battlefield with overwhelming strength, has lost against me, a child.

 'Maybe he's actually strong.'

 'We may be able to fight and win against the aristocrats.'

 It was not strange to think so.

 And this "maybe" is big.

 If there is a faint hope, one can work hard to pursue it.

 The air was filled with that determination.

"So where is the General heading now?"

"Eh? General?"

"What, Ars? You are the General because you are the boss of this whole thing."

"Well, that's fine. I'm heading to the riverside right now. We're going to set up a camp there."

 Vargas came to my side and talked to me.

 When I talked to him, he seemed to be quite interesting.

 It seems that he is friendly, and that everyone likes him.

 After Vargas surrendered to me, many young people from the neighboring village talked to me.

 Apparently, the fact that he had been away from the village was due to the trouble he had to face in order to protect his friends.

 I answered Vargas' question.

 Our destination absorbed the strength of this neighboring village and then we started moving from that village as well to a riverside.

 It was a river on the way from the village of Barca to the city of Fontana in the south.

 I decided to build a position there where confrontation with the Fontana Family would take place.
