"Rightly so..." She exclaimed, and everyone began to notice that woman's attitude. "What did you say earlier? Should we really give up on someone like you? I admit you are formidable, but I won't willingly give up."With a sharp gaze, she raised her sword and pointed it at Garlan. Her unwavering courage might scare others, but in Garlan's presence, such an appearance was unnecessary.This was nothing more than empty talk from those who had lost their faith in victory and survival. They always spoke as if their opponents didn't understand anything, and that was normal.Garlan could only sigh, realizing his earlier mercy had been ignored. He rarely showed mercy to his enemies, and now the consequences of being too kind to his enemies were apparent."Very well, if you choose death, I will speed up the process, and you won't even realize this battle ever happened."The air pressure instantly changed, and Rhea's body signaled there was no escape. From the beginning, she understood such a s

Before making a decision, Garlan needed a mature plan. There wasn't much he could do here, expect relying on the information provided by the soldiers regarding the enemy troops they would face.And, as witnesses to the previous two soldiers' summons were called into the room, they were given time to rest and recover their strength.The next day was the time to discuss this further.In the discussion room with Garlan, they had a special opportunity. They had often been led by this man, but had never made a significant contribution."Alright, you both are here for a reason. Before the enemy launches an attack, we need to know who we are facing. Can you two tell the troops what kind of enemy we are dealing with?"They were a bit confused about how to respond to Garlan's firm tone, but they couldn't afford to waste any more time. They quickly prepared to address this problem.One of them finally began to speak, "The enemy we faced last time was different from the usual. General had led us

It was a moment of deep silence as the sun slowly gave away to the darkness of the night.The enemy soldiers heard the trumpet signal to retreat, and without much thought, they began to move away from the lifeless Reval.Garlan dismounted from his horse, not giving any orders for the past hour. His gaze was fixed on the person he was sure of at this time, there was no mistaking it, the figure in his two eyes was Reval.All the memories of that time flowed through his mind, ending with the Reval's cold, lifeless gaze."Heh... this is ironic, but it's not a bad choice! I hope everything will be better tomorrow..." Dapion raised the corner of his lips. Although he didn't directly look at what was happening with Garlan, he could already imagine how the man looked at the moment.The loud sound of horse hooves started to draw Garlan's attention. The enemy troops were now moving away.It was never expected the enemy would provoke him like this, using comrades as opponents.Although Garlan ha

In the midst of these circumstances, the jokes Maneus heard were highly entertaining."How can you be sure you can defeat me?"Indeed, a knight would think twice before being able to defeat a Polearm user on horseback.The Polearm had a different mobility than a spear. Although it was long in shape, it was far more effective to use. Unlike a spear, which only had one movement, thrusting forward, the Polearm had a sharp sword-like blade at the tip. To use this weapon, need to swing it to the side like a sword, but, of course, it had the disadvantage of being relatively heavier.Only those with experience could unleash the full potential of this weapon, and for those who used the Polearm on horseback, it was considered something nearly perfect. Polearm users had the advantage of a much wider attack range than their opponents.Most people would think a thousand times before facing such an opponent, but that didn't matter. Garlan had faced people with high skills on horseback using the po

The air in this room was growing increasingly suffocating, forcing Dapion's spirit to waver, but it remained the same from the start; this man would not lower his head.He might be older and not have the extraordinary abilities of those around him, but when it came to faith, he wouldn't back down."I've witnessed it; the power possessed by the enemy is the help of a great general who once led a mercenary army known as the Black Dragon..."Various reactions were displayed by the people present, most of them wearing confused expressions. It was unexpected that a name long forgotten would reappear, especially at a time like this, and it made them wonder if Dapion was joking.No, it couldn't be considered a joke; the gaze in Dapion's eyes still reflected the fear of the Black Dragon's leader.A smart officer wouldn't think him a liar, especially Rafous, who had a firm expression to clear his mind."Are you sure that is indeed the leader of the Black Dragon?" asked a wise old man in a soft
