Captain Glenn quickly briefed Robert and Bea about what happened and their plan.“Actually, we do not have that plan. After we give them a surprise attack using the hills surrounding them, all we need to do is to hold on until the reinforcement comes.”“Good job. You’ve done what a captain should have done.” BeaGlenn wryly smile at the praise he received. No exaggerations but simple praise like that is a big help for him to regain his composure and strength. Besides these two are famous people from the Narva Kingdom.All the knights have heard their name, along with Greith, Alistar, Sia, and many more powerful individuals.Even though these two cannot be compared to the mentioned three names, they are still in a class of their own.“Since you two are here, I hereby request you to take command of our forces!”Glenn respectfully requests to Robert and Bea.“I am afraid, we cannot. We are not here to take command of your forces, we are here to help you liberate your city. It means we ar
The nearby knights who heard the cheering gathered at the front entrance of the command center.The knight Glenn ordered to bring the reserved two groups of lance fournie or are most known as cavalry arrived on the command center and inform Captain Glenn the reserved cavalry are just outside.Each group is composed of twenty-five knights on a horseback. Ten are using lances while the rest are using swords.These groups of knights are highly trained which is why Glenn keeps them for the worst-case scenario. Their way of training is harsher than those of normal knights. They hunt demon beasts stronger than them.It is said there are unfortunate knights that lose limbs or worse died during their training. But those who survive the harsh training are celebrated all over Auburn City. They are the elite troops.The citizen is very proud of them. Truth be told, they are the only troops that made the wolf-beast stop its killing mission when the last defense of the city was erected during its
Four people walk in the direction of the command center.While walking, Glenn informed Matta about the situation of Robert and Bea and their current position in Auburn City.“For real?! Are you insane Glenn?! Why didn’t you persuade them to be the commander in chief? They are talented in strategy more than us.” Matt muttered in shocked“I did everything I did to persuade them but their reason is enough to keep us the commander of our forces.”“Although I empathize with you, still, the most important thing is to make them the commander.” Captain Glenn didn’t answer because the next information he need to tell him should be kept hidden until that certain someone arrived.It didn’t take long before they reached the command center and once they all settled and Glenn figured that no one could hear the information he is about to blurt out, he started to cascade the information he received from Robert and Bea.“The thing is, Mayor Lester Silverstein is still alive and currently seeking rein
Inside a command center just outside the wall of Auburn City, the two commander cannot calm their confused mind due to the information they just heard.It took them almost five minutes.“About that weapon endowed with rune magic, is it true? The empire has it?” Matt“Yes, the empire somehow discovered how to create a weapon endowed with rune magic.” Bea“Ehhh?!” Glenn exclaimed.Everyone ignores Glenn as Matt is more intrigued about how the Empire can pull it off.“If that is all true, our success nearly plummets to zero.” Matt“That is not correct. The emperor is not a fool to distribute the weapon endowed with rune magic to his entire forces. We believed, it is only selected. But we are still not certain how long the emperor can continue playing the role of his army in the current situation. If he was forced, he will surely distribute all the weapons endowed with rune magic he has to all his forces.” Bea“So everything is at stake on how we quickly kill the emperor huh. Is the emper
Under the silent moon, the empire’s army is in disarray. The remaining knights and head magicians are currently talking about what happened earlier which causes them great loss and what steps should be done moving forward. Several captains are in a heated argument.“What do we do?! We’ve been having this conversation for hours! I say we focus on our objective and destroy annihilate all the enemy’s forces and take hold of the City!”“Shut up! Didn’t you hear what was the real order? Do not attack at full force until further notice! Our main objective is to drain their strength because the emperor is still showing mercy for them.”“So we’ll let those bastards slide after stealing our supplies and use the explosives against us? Is that what you want?!”The heated argument continue until one of the captains who’s keeping silent since the meeting commenced slam the table which startled all the present individuals in the meeting.“Enough! All of you listen!!!”All the individuals present he
The new order from the emperor will arrive after two days while the official who occupies the position of Alistar will arrive tomorrow morning.Is it okay? Just to defend the camp and wait for further order?Felix spent the whole hour contemplating while receiving continuous news about the surprise attack of the enemy.He tried to calm himself whilst their enemy is having their time in a surprise attack.One of his adjutants enters the command center requesting his approval to grant the audience to the knight bringing the report about their supplies and the remaining numbers of their forces.The adjutant bows his head.“My Lord, the knight under the command of Captain Castelo is seeking your audience. He was here to bring a report about our supplies and the total number of our manpower.”“Okay. Let him in.”Felix simply replied.“As you wish My Lord.”The adjutant bowed once more and left to inform the knight that he can enter. It only took a couple of seconds before the knight enter
Felix is still patrolling the area and is always vigilant in his surroundings while still thinking about that accursed weapon.Halberd, Greith, reward, Cursed Weapon.Damn it! No matter how I try, I cannot still find an answer. When I asked Alistar before what is the reason behind about Greith as a volunteer. Alistar didn’t tell me any answer, he just looked right straight into my eyes and hesitated if he was going to give me an answer or not.In the end, it is I who told him not to give me an answer. He is now a higher official of the Ruel Empire and I understand that even as his friend, he cannot tell me everything due to his duty.And that is why it sucks being one of the higher officials of the empire.Anyway, I should focus right now that think of useless thoughts.Felix is on the way to the eastern border of camp when he heard a faint scream ahead. It is only one hundred fifty yards away from his current location.He didn’t waste any seconds as he use mana to strengthen his feet
Seven hundred yards away, Bea’s camp and her elite forces together with Robert’s elite forces are on standby.They are currently waiting for Robert to return.The plan is to attack the empire every four hours to keep them awake. Imagine the mental fatigue they will accumulate and in addition, Robert disguises and attack the empire deep in their camp.Robert’s real purpose is to get information from the enemy while slowly reducing their manpower.And now it’s been three hours since their first successful attack and Robert is still not here. Bea is already feeling troubled but she has to wait.If he is in danger, Robert will forcefully produce a powerful magic attack familiar to her and that signals them to rescue him.But she feels unpleasant, she doesn’t know how to respond. If she stealthily enters the enemy’s camp, there is a high probability she can be caught.Maybe he’s just taking his time? Or maybe he’s still not gathered enough important information which took him so long.Tsk.
