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
A total of five armies in one battle huh? It sounds familiar, isn’t it? I wonder who would win this time?The distant sounds of horns keep coming closer and with every second passed, the people present inside the mayor’s mansion are all perplexed and agitation can be seen on their faces.They have one common question on their mind. Amidst everything that is happening, why this young man is so calm and composed like it is just one of his normal days?If what you said is correct, there are four armies banded together that are currently battling against one army. A total of five armies! And yet you act like this is just one of your normal days?!If only Jin can hear what’s on their mind, he might puke a mouthful of blood.On the other hand, Jin is calm because everything is within his speculation. What’s more, he proudly snatches away…. Persuade a powerful person to stand on their side, Lord Seth and he still has one hidden card. The imperial army hiding in the southern forest of Auburn
From the first day, he arrived in this world. Groomed by modern knowledge in his past life on earth, Jin would always think ahead of everything. He would not dare think of a good outcome. His mindset always focuses on what if and the worst outcome. And what made him like that is because of his one important hobby. Reading. Jin groaned inwardly thinking about how his past few days have been. He missed a lot, a lot of reading time and relaxing. But he has no choice if he wants to live his days peacefully until he died of old age, hopefully. He must resolve worldly issues first. Luckily, he has friends now that he can share his problems with. In return, he will never ever betray them and will do anything to preserve their life, after all, they are the ones who always faced the danger heads on. But of course, if his life is at risk and found himself unable to save them, he will flee. He’s rational. Your own life is the most important over everything else. That is why he always opts to t
I knew it! Getting scot-free from responsibility in this war is not easy! He once again underestimated the crown prince’s quick retort. Anyway, what the crown prince said is true. During his stay on the southern border of the kingdom before departing to Auburn City, he has some leeway and free time which he didn’t waste on relaxing. He talked with the crown prince about the City being one of the important lands in a future event which proved to be true when the Ruel Empire want to conquer the city. Everyone’s gazes land on him. Jin surrender and groaned before starting the strategy meeting. “I believe the crown prince saying is everything that happens is already pre-determined and cannot be changed no matter what we do. What I have done is only put a stage so the city can have a chance to stand against its enemy. But it didn’t mean a thing if none of you are here. It is everyone’s effort that we had a chance to stop the evil-doing of the emperor.” Jin noticed the fluctuation of m
The meeting continues inside the mayor’s mansion. Amidst their discussion, the explosions outside still raging but not as loud as it appears. The two camps just exchanged minor magic spells as they are still in the early stage of the fight.Inside the mansion, Jin stood up and look at the crown prince which seems to imply his permission. The latter quickly get it and nodded his head.“The crown prince brought weapons, armors, and shields that we can use. Don’t be mistaken, these armor and shields are a hundred times more durable than the usual and standard we currently used. The crown prince can vouch for it. He once use a shield that can withstand the ten consecutive magic attacks of E Rank Magicians and a single attack of C Rank Magician.”“His Majesty himself cast the spell against the shield held by the crown prince. After the impact, the shield seems to be unscathed at first but give it a second, the shield will be shattered. The crown prince was left unscathed. And what makes it
