As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World - Episode 16

With the unwavering support of his allies, Ars marches into his first battle. Rosell devises various tactics, while Charlotte boasts that her magic will render strategies unnecessary. Rietz assures that the soldiers are well-trained and ready for combat. Initially, the enemy avoids confrontation, leading Couran to assume they will encounter no significant resistance until Bertudo.

At Samkh Castle, Thomas Grangeon senses the enemy's arrogance. He is determined to secure victory for Vasmarque, even if he loses. Fraedor Vandol, the district governor of Samkh, entrusts Thomas with the defense, but his daughter Selena insists on defending Fort Vakmakro herself.

Couran assigns the Canarre army, including Ars, to capture Fort Vakmakro, the most strategically vital of the three fortresses surrounding Samkh Castle. As they approach, they encounter a massive magical barrier erected by Selena. Despite their efforts, the barrier keeps reforming, and they learn that a massive enemy army of ten thousand is approaching.

Faced with this challenge, Ars decides to rely on his comrades' abilities. Rietz volunteers to delay the enemy troops for half a day, while Charlotte commits to breaking the barrier within an hour using an extra-massive spell, despite the personal risk. As Rietz skillfully holds off the enemy with tactical prowess, Charlotte unleashes a powerful magical assault that finally shatters the barrier.

After the barrier falls, the Canarre army captures Fort Vakmakro. The successful conquest turns the tide, surprises the enemy, and secures Ars a crucial victory in his first battle.
