Taking advantage of the chaos that had occurred, Eran saw that there were coiled ropes that had been tied between the fort. Without thinking, Eran threw the three ropes out of the fort.
Theo, who had been monitoring Eran's movements attentively, understood the signal. He quickly ordered his group to climb the ropes thrown by Eran, utilizing the gap created by the Lonewolf's stealthy infiltration.
While throwing the ropes, the three remaining archers noticed his presence.
"Intruder!!!" one of the archers shouted, without realizing Eran was already in front of him and stabbed two daggers into his chest and then pulled the small weapon upwards, causing blood to spurt out and splash onto Eran.
"You guys keep shooting." Said one of the archers, he threw his bow and replaced it with a sword, then two other people appeared behind the soldier.
"You damn Golden!" Shouted one of the attacking soldiers. His sword flew and at the same time two arrows pier
In the midst of the fierce clash between Theo, Taran, Strix, and Fenry, the atmosphere became charged with palpable tension. Strix, a towering figure adorned in ominous dark armor, deftly brandished a massive hammer with deadly precision, every swing executed with a brutal force aimed at pulverizing his adversaries with each thunderous strike. In stark contrast, Fenry exhibited a nimble and agile fighting style, wielding a pair of lethal daggers with uncanny accuracy.However, Theo and Taran remained unflinching in the face of their formidable-looking foes. Theo, renowned for his agility and finesse, relied on swift swordplay and calculated maneuvers to elegantly evade Strix's lethal assaults. Taran, on the other hand, countered Fenry's rapid attacks with sheer raw power and unyielding endurance, delivering powerful slashes that demonstrated his indomitable strength.The battle unfolded in a relentless ebb and flow, as both sides exchanged blows and attempted to exploi
As the tension reached its zenith on the battlefield, both combatants, Paul and Theo, launched themselves forward, their movements swift and purposeful. The clash of their swords resonated through the air as the blades met, and in this crucial moment, there existed no room for defense; the tempo of their duel surged with an exhilarating crescendo.Their unwavering focus and vigilance were palpable, for even the slightest lapse in their guard could tip the balance of this fierce contest. Paul, keenly aware of the finely balanced nature of their confrontation, sensed an equilibrium between their skills. Yet, an intangible factor loomed, setting them apart. With each collision of their weapons, Theo's attacks exhibited a relentless progression, growing in strength and precision. He exploited the openings in Paul's defenses, diligently searching for vulnerabilities and seizing every available opportunity to force his adversary backward.Paul, undeterred by Theo's increasin
"After conquering the independent city of IronClaw, the warriors from three different groups—the Royal Berillan Warriors, the Band of the Sirens, and the Band of the Sun—traveled back toward Alku village. They left the city of IronClaw with pride, the spirit of victory still burning in their hearts. However, some soldiers found it tough to let go of their comrades-in-arms who had died in the war. Among the many Lonewolves who had participated, only Eran remained. Before them lay a vast grassland that stretched so wide it seemed to be lost on the horizon. A cool breeze caressed their faces as they continued to advance through the grassland. "Looking at this meadow, I feel how beautiful nature is," Taneaya said with a smile. "We should thank nature for giving us the strength to fight." The other members of the Band of the Sun agreed, nodding their heads at Taneaya's words. They had been through an intense battle, but this beautiful landscape renewed the
"All the people who had participated in the struggle had gathered, and the atmosphere in the guild was lively. It was evident that they sat in groups with their respective comrades, while Eran, as usual, chose a seat at the far end to avoid drawing attention."Well, it seems you all have gathered. Today, as promised, mercenaries can collect their pay based on their service during the war. All payments have been distributed to your respective leaders," said the official representative of the Berillan kingdom.Eran wanted to inquire about his payment since he didn't belong to any group. However, he was suddenly called by someone, and he searched for the source of the voice."Over here, Eran, over here."Aldrich was waving his hand from the frontmost table on the left side. Eran understood and made his way to Aldrich's table.As he approached, amid the crowded room, Eran could hear whispers and feel many eyes on him."This is your fee," Eran lo
Eran was still awake, he rested his chin on his hand while looking at the scenery outside through the window of the carriage.Eran and Taneaya sat facing each other, the atmosphere was tense along with the cold gaze that the beautiful gray-haired girl threw.Taneaya started the conversation with a slightly sarcastic tone, "So, what do you mean by insulting us in the guild? I don't understand why you, a foreigner, dare to insult our band."Eran's reverie was interrupted and he looked at Taneaya with a flat expression, "I was just expressing my opinion at the time, after all, it was a guild officer who asked me. And there was nothing wrong with what I said back then, there wasn't even an element of insult."Taneaya shook her head in annoyance, "Opinion? How could you express an opinion like that to us? Do you think you're better than us?"Eran smiled sarcastically, "I have never claimed to be greater than anyone. But I have my principles and stances."Taneaya squinted, "You're confident
They entered the palace gates and were amazed by the sight before them. Streets lined with white marble led to the royal palace towering in the distance. There were fountains with golden showers symbolizing the beauty and wealth of the Berrilan kingdom. Hundreds of colorful flowers spread along the streets, filling the air with a tantalizing fragrance.Taneaya was still mesmerized by the beauty on display. "It's like a fairytale world..."Eran smiled. "Hmmm..."Taneaya looked at Eran sarcastically. "Ckk...An annoying person like you wouldn't understand!""How can you say that, I just cleared my throat, not saying anything," Eran protested.Taneaya only glanced sarcastically at Eran, then looked back outside.After entering the palace area the carriage carrying them stopped in the courtyard of one of the luxurious buildings.There stood a man in a red robe. Behind him were two soldiers guarding him."Yuwin," Aldrich greeted after seeing the person who greeted him. The man smiled broadl

"Well, in addition to these honors, this party is also being held to welcome the only emblem of the beauty of our kingdom, my little princess Catallina here," said the King proudly.Everyone was surprised and excited to see the king's daughter.Catallina was seen hugging Taneaya."This is so embarrassing me, I told him not to do this," she whispered to Taneaya."Go Cata, uncle is waiting for you," Taneaya said while pinching Catallina's cheeks."Ugh, okay," Catallina pouted.Then she noticed the gawking expressions of Uldor and Gorstag."I'll explain later," Catallina whispered as she begged for mercy.Catallina stepped into the center of the hall to approach the king, then gracefully pulled on her two ball gowns and bowed her head before the crowd in the hall."Please enjoy this award party," Catallina said to applause.Catallina's embrace with her parents, the king, and queen, revealed a deep secret that only a select few knew.
