***
The state of the battle now being faced by Robert is dire.
Out of the 300 elite soldiers he had brought with him for escort, only 89 soldiers were still alive.
The number of deaths was terrifying compared to the monsters they killed, only 7 low level monsters and 4 danger level monsters they managed to kill!
As for the other levels that are quite dangerous and really terrible? They were having fun slaughtering the soldiers and enjoying torturing them.
"Uwarrghhhh!!!! My legs! Please just kill me!!!"
"No!!! Don't eat me-!!"
"Bast*rd!! Monster bitch!!"
"Let's die together you darn monsters!"
Many screams and cries were heard on the battlefield, cries of hatred and fear shouted by the soldiers.
Some commanders had managed to kill low-level monsters, but they also put their lives on the line in the process.
Robert, who had bravely fought monsters before, was now covered in blood as he guarded the carriage with all his strength.
As for the princess, she cast numerous spells all over the territory, including powerful attack spells that killed six monsters at once! Three of those monsters were quite dangerous.
But the girl had used up all her magical power after killing those six monsters by herself.
"I shouldn't have acted so rashly!" she regretted, realizing she had been too hasty. But she was already at a loss as to what else to do to save the empire.
In reality, the princess was just a girl who pretended to be strong in order to be a good leader for her subordinates and her people. Her magical talent alone wasn't enough to defeat all those monsters.
"But my limit can only be here, huh...?" she steeled her resolve and got out of her carriage, walking forward with graceful yet courageous steps.
Step... Step... Step...
take...
Grip!
Picking up one of the swords lying on the ground, the girl pointed it at the monster that was eating one of its warriors and shouted in a firm voice, "Let's duel to the death!"
Hearing the girl's words, the monster that was invited to the duel suddenly grinned in horror.
Like looking at a very fun toy!
"Blurghhhh...!! Arrgghh!! Princess! You better run away!" Robert, who saw what the girl was doing, was amazed, but on the other hand, he was also very worried.
"Don't worry, Robert. I'll do everything I can."
Suddenly, the princess immediately shot towards the monster that was 20 meters high!
"The Mighty Ice! Activate!"
Then at every step of the girl, there were traces of ice left behind which followed the direction of her feet!
Dashhh!!!
The monster also didn't stay silent, it immediately raised its hand and tried to hit the girl.
But because of the ice steps made by the girl, she was able to step and accelerate through the air quickly!
Avoid!!
Swoshhh!!
Slash!!
Jump!!!
The girl repeatedly dodged the monster's attacks, she had very agile moves, like a dancer who was happily dancing to the accompaniment of a beautiful song.
After looking for a loophole for a long time, the girl finally found it.
"There he is!"
And she immediately shot towards something she was after, her arm muscles!
Slashhhhh!!!
"Grooooaaaaaaaarrrrrrrr!!!!"
The scream was extremely loud, even producing extremely terrifying sound waves in the surroundings.
However, she was able to dispel the sound waves with her abilities.
The reason she didn't aim for the other vital parts was because they were too hard to reach!
Then the monster stood up and started taking the fight seriously. She had already thought that the monster was just playing around.
But without waiting for the monster to be ready to fight, she immediately shot towards the monster's neck!
Dashhh!!
Fly!!!
Seeing that the girl exploded towards its neck, the monster immediately released its true power!
The monster's body suddenly became radiant, with its temperature rising drastically!
Glow!!
Not long after, the monster immediately roared, and its light spread throughout the area!
Just that light alone wouldn't be able to stop her, but suddenly the monster shot fire from its mouth!
Shot! Shot! Shot!
Dozens of fireballs the size of basketballs shot towards the girl! Even the monster was swinging its extremely thick and shell-coated arms left and right brutally!
She jumped, dodging all the attacks swiftly.
Jump!
Dash!!
Move!!
Avoid!
However, because the attacks produced by the monster were too many to avoid, she was hit by several fireballs that immediately burned her!
Swoshhh!!
Burned!
"Euggrrrhh...!!"
The burning effect of the fireballs wasn't too terrible, but the time she spent dealing with them gave the monster a chance to hit her!
Thud!!
Splashh!!!
Crack!!!
"Arrrhhhh...!!!"
The girl was immediately thrown down with a terrifying speed, like a tennis ball being hit by a professional player!
She directly hit the ground very hard!
Booooooommmmmmmmmm!!!!!
The sound of impact caused the morale of the soldiers watching the fight to crumble, their only hope couldn't even defeat that monster, so how would they survive in this hell?
After the surrounding dust cleared, the girl was finally seen by everyone.
Her previously snow-white hair had now turned blood-red, due to the blood pouring out of her head, her right hand seemed to be broken and the girl's dress was also torn.
The girl was still conscious, in her eyes flowing blood very profusely.
Those who saw that the princess he protected was still alive breathed a sigh of relief, especially Robert.
But no one seemed to have realized that the blood that flowed from his eyes also mixed with the tears that flowed because his grief could not save his soldiers.
Many of his soldiers still had very young children, and because of her selfishness, she had to let them lose their beloved father forever.
"... I'm too tired... Even if I die... At least let this Empire stand forever..."
She had resigned herself to all of this, all the burden was too heavy for her.
"...Goodbye, everyone..." the girl muttered softly and then closed her eyes.
But when the girl closed her eyes, suddenly there was a terrible sound of explosion!
Booooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!
She was so surprised!
He suddenly opened his eyes to see what was happening.
And finally, she saw something shocking!
The monster that had previously thrown her suddenly fell to the ground!
"#&+=¢{¢[¢°$-#+# (Huhhh...!!! Turns out they're all gathered here!)" a man who was talking suddenly appeared from the forest.
He was a man with black armor, black hair, and he was also very handsome.
And at that very moment, the girl felt a feeling she had never felt before.
Badump~!!
She had heard from her nanny that the feeling of happiness, a feeling that one wanted to be around and a sudden increase in heart rate were signs that a person was in love.
"...So this is the feeling called love?" muttered the girl while looking at the man in black armor who was very dashing and cool.
She also saw that suddenly the man immediately shot towards the monster horde with a happy expression!
The latter killed the monsters one by one at an extremely fast speed!
"That guy is so cool and brave... Maybe it would be natural if I fell in love with him..." the girl muttered with a faint smile plastered on her face.

[...It's a pity that the girl got hit by the suspension bridge because of your presence.]
"Please feel a little prouder for having this great master!" grumbled Kazuki while killing some of the fries that were around him.
"After I searched for several hours and I never found it, it turns out you are all partying here without me?! You are traitors!!" roared Kazuki at the monsters that were quietly eating the soldiers.
And the soldiers who saw that a man with a foreign language was slaying the monsters with ease had their morale back again!
They had previously clearly seen the attack direction of the race that had killed the most terrifying monster.
There's no mistaking that the man did it!
Robert, who saw the man, felt very grateful that luck was finally on his side.
"...Wake up! All Soldiers must wake up! We now have a ray of hope to live! Don't be weak and wake up!!" Robert ordered all the soldiers who were still alive.
The soldiers could only grin in silence.
"Yes yes, I'm awake!"
"We are here always ready!!"
"I can't wait to meet my son!"
Now their morale had recovered, and just as they were about to fight the monsters again, they suddenly realized something.
"The monsters are all dead?!!!!"
They actually reacted in unison!
*** "Hahhh... Everyone was killed in the end. Have you confirmed that none of the monsters escaped?" asked Kazuki to the system. [...Sure, nothing escapes, everything is absorbed and becomes strength for you and for me.] "Hey... What does that mean?" [... There isn't any.] He could only sigh helplessly. "Huh..." Glancing at the soldiers who were the food for the monsters, Kazuki then walked over to them. Step... Step... Step... Then one of the soldiers who looked like a commander came up to him. "Woahhh!! You guys are people of this world?!" he asked excitedly. But seeing that they didn't seem to understand what he was saying reminded Kazuki again that this world was another world. 'Even I don't understand any foreign language on earth, so how can I understand the language of this world?' That was what Kazuki thought when he saw the soldiers just looking around and talking in their own language. At the time when Kazuki was sighing helplessly while holding his spear, sudde
*** Long story short, this world is called Galliather, a world consisting of 3 small continents, 2 unknown continents and 1 main continent called Clyster. And Kazuki was now in the main continent. On the main continent there are 2 empires and 13 minor kingdoms and 1 ownerless territory. The 2 empires were the Arthia Empire and the Razor Empire. The main continent had an area of about 110 million square kilometers, even though the units of calculation here were different, Kazuki could still figure it out through some experiments on calculations and comparison with Livy. With a total population of about 1.22 billion people on this continent, about 457 million live in the Arthia Empire. The Arthia Empire has an area of about 39% of the area of the main continent and for the Razor Empire it has an area of about 26 of the area of the main continent, while the rest is owned by 13 other kingdoms and 1 area that is not owned by anyone other than this forest which has an area of about 10
*** "So that's my decision, Robert. Can you speed up getting the troops together and gathering the horses and valuables to take with us? We'll hide all the horse-drawn carriages nearby," Livy ordered from beside Kazuki, as Robert kneeled in front of them. "Okay, Princess. I will organize the soldiers as soon as possible!" Robert replied. "Thanks for your hard work, Robert." A few hours later, Robert had finished giving his orders very quickly. All the valuables and injured soldiers were swiftly carried away by the soldiers on horses, after they had hidden the carriages in a very hidden but accessible place. As for the soldiers who had died, they were moved to a place that was more secluded from view of the street. At this point, the soldiers had already gathered in the middle of the road, looking at Commander Robert who was standing in front of them all. "Soldiers! We will be staying overnight at Lord Kazuki's residence! So take all valuables with you, and don't forget to bring t
Staring at the door for a while, the old man sighed tiredly. "Hahh... Takeru... Can you hear me?" he asked. Suddenly, the office telephone on the old man's desk rang. "I can hear you, sir," Takeru answered. "Is that young man the heir of the Igarashi Dojo?" asked the old man calmly. "..." Takeru hesitated before replying, "That's right, Sir." "Have you been monitoring him properly? Why has he become so different? Has he been training his body?" the old man inquired. "That's right, Sir. We have been monitoring him closely. We even have satellite footage and we found a doctor who was giving him dietary and training advice. After investigating, we discovered several incidents that had befallen the young man, which might be the reason why he decided to train his body so hard," Takeru explained at length. Hearing this explanation, the old man smiled slightly and asked, "Ohoo~...? What did you find?" "We found out that this young man was a victim of extreme bullying. He was subjecte
*** "Was it this young man who knocked you unconscious yesterday?" asked a muscular man, showing his cellphone to another man. "That's right! That bastard also stole my photoshoot!" growled the youth with a face filled with rage. "Hahh?! Losing to a young man who can only rely on his face, you really are embarrassing, Kisaki!" exclaimed a man with a face full of horrible tattoos. "Shut up Hanjin! I didn't even realize when he kicked my leg without warning and then kicked my head when I fell!" Kisaki roared ferociously in response. "Tch! Shut up, you two! Let me think of a way to get revenge on that bastard!" The muscular man who had shown Kisaki the picture scolded the two of them when he was distracted. They were both shocked and immediately apologized to the man. "Forgive us, Tobi-sama!" they shouted in unison. "Alright, call the other core leaders, we'll discuss this!" Tobi ordered them. "We understand!" After some time, they all had gathered in a narrow but clean alley. T
*** "What about the attack? Is it certain that the girl will die?" "With such powerful and numerous monsters, I can confirm that the girl should be dead," said a black-robed man without a face visible. "Good. If there are no survivors, it should be easy for me to carry out the next plan." "Yes, do as you please, and goodbye." That was what the robed man said before walking out of the dark and extremely dirty room. "Sure, goodbye..." After the robed man left, an old woman entered the room. "What about our next plan, Father?" asked the old woman to an old man with a thick beard who was sitting quietly in a chair. "We can carry out the plan this time. Prepare your son to execute his plan. Our subordinates are ready to take control of this Empire." "Okay, Father," replied the old woman to the bearded grandfather. Then the old woman left the room, leaving the bearded old man alone. Seeing that his daughter had completely walked out of the room, the old geezer heaved a tired sigh
*** "Do you know where the Princess is now?" asked a soldier as he carried his food. "I don't know, don't ask me," snorted the man next to him. "Perhaps the Princess is in the more luxurious room upstairs?" "That could be..." They chatted about where Livy might be sleeping until a surviving knight commander walked up to them all. "Hey you guys! Do you want your mouths sewn up?!" Hearing the scream, they all immediately stood up and bowed their heads to the knight. "Please excuse our language, Sir Dawson!" they exclaimed in unison. "Well, let's not talk about the Princess anyway... Why do you guys like talking about her so much?" asked Sir Dawson with a tired sigh. Glancing at each other, they finally answered. "Nothing else to talk about?" "Too interesting to see the Princess's sudden change in character!" "Talking about the owner of this Palace?" "Yeah, those are all fun topics to discuss..." They expressed their own opinions to each other. Seeing that they still had no
*** Now, Sir Dawson will describe what happened from his perspective, regarding the political system in the Arthia Empire. The Arthia Empire had a centralized government system where nepotism was always the norm, even though those promoted through nepotism were often untalented in their field. As a result, the Empire remained in a state of prolonged stagnation. Poverty in the Empire was also quite extreme, as there were very few gold reserves in the state treasury. The entire continent used the same currency, namely gold coins. However, a small country located to the south - a kingdom that was very rich - controlled the circulation of gold, so the Empire had no power to restore its economy. Many events led to this situation, with the United Kingdom and the Razor Empire having absolute control over the circulation of gold coins. Ultimately, they were able to choke the Arthia Empire's economy and significantly weaken it. "Though the Arthia Empire was a fertile and wealthy country, d
