“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
The opposing army gives their all to killing each other. The knights are on a rampage, both sides are trying their best to stay alive and kill many as they can.But if someone thoroughly observes the situation from the sides, one can tell the imperial knights are at a disadvantage.Is it because of raw power? Or just skills? Whatever it is, the imperial knights are gritting their teeth in dismay.They can clearly see the enemies are not on par with them. But to their surprise whenever they can find an opening, they would strike them with the intent to kill. They are confident in their attack, it can even destroy any shield or armor even if it was reinforced by mana strengthening. But when their attack hit the shield or armor, it only deflects the attack and the target is just thrown away or pushed to the side.They noticed the only way to kill their way through is to decapitate their head. They become anxious and scared whenever they heard the cry of agony of their comrades.But it wa
The side of battle favors Auburn City. It continues on and on until some of them started to fall back.Alistar on the other hand gets more irritated seeing some of his subordinates start to fall back. He was currently under the pressure of veteran mercenary Abel, and one of the renowned adventurers, Rock.Abel is famous for being a gentleman to normal folks and ruthless against those who fail to uphold their morality. He even tries to subjugate one of the noble families of one of the free states in the Central continent. Thanks to the king of the said state, he was held back by imprisoning the noble family and related to those vicious practices.While Rock is one of Sia’s trusted subordinates. Whenever there’s a national security level, if Sia cannot handle it personally, she always chose Rock to act in her stead.Although Alistar is above rank in these two individuals, being a veteran and one against two really pushes him back enough to decrease his momentum in a killing spree.He wa
Dead bodies are piling everywhere.Bea is currently catching her breath while Robert is still engaging in a battle.“Is he still not here? Where on good earth is he anyway?”She mumbled and stood up straight. She just killed two higher rank magicians from the Imperial army and lost a lot of mana. But her reserves is still intact and she was still eager to fight.With that said, a little breather is not bad. Robert is giving her space to relax a bit. Earlier, it was Robert who is taking a breather.This is what she was worried about, no matter how powerful their army has become. Exhaustion and lack of numbers will still get to them. That is why it is imperative to take down many enemies as much as possible before exhaustion took them.If it happens, they have no choice but to take shelter inside the city. It was Jin’s suggestion. When they asked him what to do after that, he just nonchalantly reply to have some rest.The rest are doubtful but agreed anyway.It was at this moment when s
Bea clutches the wind sword in both hands and makes a stance.A normal stance that can be seen by any beginner.It made Alistar laugh and mocked her.“Really? Are you for real?! HAHA! For your own good, it is much better for you to fly in the sky and fight me from there than take me head on close-quarter combat with that beginner stance.”Bea just ignored him and focus on what was about to happen.She starts to channel her mana again and use mana strengthening. Her armor shines brightly upon receiving the mana.With the combination of new armor that was endowed with rune magic and now reinforced by mana strengthening by a C Rank magician, no one knows how durable it can become. Even she herself didn’t know.But there is one thing to know about it, by fighting her enemy head-on.After her preparations, she quickly rushes forward and lunges his wind sword against Alistar.Alistar didn’t move and stood on his ground, he was waiting for her to strike him first.Without further ado, Bea pe
