The previous talk brings to the current situation.Everyone inside the mansion thought that the gravity of the situation was so severe, which made Celeste still hesitant and uncertain about the decision she should make or that’s what everyone thought.But Celeste knew which decision should be made. Although she is certain but thinking the consequences of making a decision are enough to make her heart waver.She was just a simple girl not until the war broke out between the city and the empire.She never once thought the lives of thousands including the citizen will be decided by her.Celeste sighed and look at the faces present inside the mansion.Robert has crossed arms while his eyes are closed, although he looks relaxed the atmosphere he emits is gloomy same as Matt.Captain Glenn is nervous which she understood.As for Bea and Selene, they are seated beside her and trying to support her.Before deciding to talk, she took a glance at the closed door where the handsome man just left
“She decided not to heed your advice. She is thankful. As showing her respect and gratitude to you, she conveyed that you should switch sides now and help us get rid of the emperor.”The young man told him in a confident and calm tone.Lord Seth was dumbfounded. He expected the first answer but he still hopes that Lady Celeste would surrender but the last answer he heard made him stunned like a statue on the ground.He cannot help but asked the young man again and the young man just nod and told him again about the decision and invitation.His lips twitched not because of being insulted, but because of amazement.And after a couple of seconds, he cannot help it but release the restrained laughter.His merrily laugh resounded on the plain battlefield.Jin was stunned. But he quickly figured out why this old man laugh merrily like the current matter at hand is not serious.He just stood there and let Lord Seth laugh to his heart’s content.After a long while, Lord Seth wipe the tears th
Jin stood dazed and tried to connect the dot.The information he just heard is enough to persuade him to drive him to their side but without enough information, he can’t start probing unless he tore open the seal and read the letter.Should I read it?It is improper to read someone’s letter and what’s more the recipient of the letter is His Majesty! Should he read it?He may be imprisoned if the royal family gets a wind of it. But maybe he can compromise with the crown prince? He can just use the excuse of the severity of the situation and whatever merit he can gain after this war.He contemplates it for a while. He is someone who didn’t want others to meddle with his privacy or personal things which means he didn’t also meddle with other people’s things.So reading someone’s letter is really against his nature but…Ah, damn it!He tore open the seal and read the letter.His indifferent expression didn’t change from the beginning until the end of the letter.He close the letter and tu
Lord Seth knew that his subordinates are all doom if this young man could finish his chanting to cast that terrifying grand spell.He shiver at the thought and was glad that he order his two disciples to stay behind to greet the emperor once he arrived.If they quickly conquer the city, he will send his two disciples a message through mana sense to quickly head to the city and leave with the children. That was his plan. But if the emperor arrives much earlier, at least he saves face and shows respect by giving him a welcome through his disciples. Although none of it mattered since the emperor was completely changed for good.His rich experience made his body jolted and the mana circulation on his body took a drastic change.Lord Seth thought he still have time to chant and produce powerful, sturdy, and multiple barriers that can deflect that grand spell!The mana surrounding him fluctuates and he focuses his mind to its fullest afraid of making a mistake when he chants and at the same
On a quiet yet tense afternoon, one of the knights stationed in the rampart just above the city gate is currently eating the soft bread handed to him by his daughter.They have been present since the first day of battle. He remembers those times when the city is helpless seeing the thousands of imperial knights and magicians while they only number a hundred!He thought of fleeing from the city and saving his wife and daughter from danger but the oath he has taken in front of their Mayor and the emblem of Auburn City.Fortunately, his daughter and wife understand him and he urges them to flee at once if the enemy breaches the city and uses the gate in the southern district.The only safe country at the moment is the Narva Kingdom which accepts people from different countries. And he knows a friend there that the city is safe and the royal family treats the citizen fairly. Some nobles can be seen interacting with normal citizens in the open street which proves that their social status i
A hundred tents are built by the imperial army but only a few knights are currently remaining, this is because the last wave they sent was annihilated again by that grand spell.All the remaining knights are trembling in fear, and the magicians who are proud are cowering inside their tent.They are bewildered when they witness again such a spectacular view. It was truly indeed a spectacular view if the caster is on their side but since it was from the enemy, they cannot help but shiver in fear. But amidst being scared, there’s a hint of awe lingering in their heart and mind on the caster.Lord Seth expected this as he urge his horse to slowly gallop deeper inside their camp. The knights that supposedly and usually bow and give their respect whenever they saw Lord Seth are like a statue on the ground. Some are limply seated on the ground while others are holding their head like crazy.Lord Seth just sighed at the sight and hop off on his horse. Upon entering the large command tent, he
An hour has passed since Jin cast the grand spell for the second time. Many knights and magicians are still dazed after witnessing such a spectacular magic spell.This is without their greatest moment. Who would believe a person can cast a spell without using a chant?It’s been 500 years since this thing happened. They promised themselves to not provoke the young official from the Narva Kingdom.After a long while, they saw a band of knights and magicians number a hundred marching towards the city.It was led by none other than Lord Seth who advised them earlier to completely surrender to spare the lives of the children but now the table has turned.They instead surrender and seek protection instead of conquering the city. Any sane man would do that. Why? Just look at the two deep and wide craters. That alone can send chills to anyone.The knights hurriedly open the gate and let them pass inside. They are already informed of such events.Although they still felt resentment towards the
The silent afternoon was disrupted due to continuous sounds of big and small explosions. The sudden exchange of magic spells and attacks caused everyone inside the city to panic, mostly the civilians taking refuge inside the emergency shelter built underground by the Adventurer Guild and the mayor of Auburn City.Many knights are well informed that reinforcements are on the way. Yes, they didn’t expect that it might be true but their heart want to believe it. They are still in disbelief watching the scene in front of them.The reinforcements on the western side outside the city are from the adventurer guild. They bore their flag high up letting anyone know a powerful force coming to help the city. Hundreds of knights and magicians are helping each other to withstand the attack coming from the imperial army while that powerful magician cast their attack spell to retaliate.From the eastern side, it was a mercenary group, though their number is not big as the adventurer guild on the wes
