The Empire�s forces had arrived in front of Maple Castle.

An oppressive wind was blowing in from them.

That wind was putting Maple Castle on full alert right now.

The Whipper soldiers were clenching their weapons and giving off venomous vibes while smiling toward the priests and showing complicated expressions toward the mages.

Their conversation was no more than something to help relax them.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

Cale stopped leaning on the ledge. Toonka and Harol were at the tower as well.

Chief Harol made eye contact with Cale.

�The Empire is making a move.�

That trumpet sound had come from the Empire�s side.

They could see a person standing in the front of the Empire�s forces.

Harol immediately started to speak.

�Duke Huten is leading the Empire�s forces.�

Duke Huten.

The Imperial Prince�s right-hand man and the Empire�s only sword master.

He was the one leading the knights.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

They could hear the neighing of horses along with the trumpet sounds.

�Shit, there�s a ton of knights.�

Toonka started to frown. It quickly turned into a smile.

�His name is Duke Huten?! I can rip that human into pieces! Kehehehe!�

Duke Huten had not taken part in the last battle of Maple Castle. That meant that the Empire was being serious this time.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground started to shake. JrNovels.com
