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
“I-is that rune letter?!”Rock cannot help but exclaim loudly while his body is fidgety. Abel on the other hand is quiet but the shocked expression plastered on his face is obvious.Rock is a mercenary and not ignorant but there is a lot of information he cannot easily get a hand on with like runes. He only heard about it but didn’t know the exact details so it is quite understandable for him to act like that.Mayor Lester already heard about this weeks ago when he was rescued by Jin weeks ago. Lord Seth believes it to be genuine in just a single glance. He looks at Jin and scrutinizes him without getting noticed by anyone. In his life and accumulated experience, this is the first time he met a legit and real genius, and what’s more at his young age.Where and how the Narva Kingdom raised him to be such a genius? No wonder the city gate and front walls are durable and can withstand my attack. Because it was endowed with rune magic!Rune magic can make the impossible possible. It is a
“Of course, no one will want to approve if we lend you the weapon with rune magic even if I request it, so I hope it is enough to at least give you that newly created armor and shield for your knights to use in an upcoming battle.”Lord Seth was speechless. The reason why he hasn’t said anything is because he was still shocked and cannot find any words to say. His current position in this alliance is still undetermined. One can say he can become a prisoner of war after this war.He may not take part in the killing of innocent prisoners but he was nonetheless on the war council in the Ruel Empire when the creation of artificial demon core start underway. That alone can determine his sentence once he becomes a prisoner of war. So it was a shock to him that this young Jin would want to have them use the newly created weapon and shield.Lord Seth didn’t stand in the ceremony and bowed his head to give his respect and appreciation to his gesture which was noticed by everyone.If he was see
It was well known in the government about the change of temperament of the emperor. The kind and calm emperor is nowhere to be seen. What’s left is the cold and ruthless ruler of the empire.“Why are you standing in a daze? Don’t let me repeat myself. If you do not have any more to report, you can leave now.”“Yes, Your Majesty. I’ll take my leave now.”Seeing the official leave, Sigurd, the emperor heave a sigh.Another life is spared.He felt so irritated.That’s right. His emotion as of the moment is not stable. The reason being is the letter in his hand.This letter served as proof that his most trusted aide abandoned him and sided with his enemy. Just the other day ago, he received news that Seth is asking for reinforcement and his presence is needed too. Most probably Seth faced a powerful foe that cannot contend alone.But when he arrived, not only a single knight nor magician gives him welcome but found his most trusted aide acted in treason.A sane man would shout in anger bu
The sun is about to set, and the exchange of magic attacks becomes lessened until it stops at a halt. The birds chirping can be heard again across the city.The preparation on both sides is almost done and both are ready to set out from their respective camps at any moment’s notice.Jin’s side was able to finish the preparation right on time. All the knights outside the city went inside and were informed about the preparations and planning. The first batch of weapons with rune magic was distributed to D Rank knights while the newly created shield and weapons were distributed to lower rank.Suddenly, without warning. The city walls received an attack. The walls tremor and the knights and magicians stationed on the rampart lose balance and were slumped to their ground.The knights that were only slightly affected by the tremors of walls issued warning sounds and all the captains issued their knights and magicians. Every order and troops become agitated and at the same time quickly run t
