The Whipper Kingdom�s strategy was the same as usual.

The greatest defense was offense.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

The battlefield had been quiet after the first battle.

Harol�s trumpet broke that silence.

It was at that moment.

Screeeech-

The closed gate to Maple Castle opened.

***

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

Edrich, one of the Lion tribe�s successor candidates. He flinched after hearing the trumpet.

�Are the Whipper Kingdom bastards blowing the trumpet right now?�

His gaze went toward the Vice Captain of the First Knights Brigade, the highest ranking knight remaining.

�Shit!�

However, the Vice Captain did not have time to pay any attention to the Lion�s gaze. He immediately got up. The leaders of the alchemists and the Mage Brigade got up behind him.

�His highness is about to arrive soon!�

�Damn it! Why are the Whipper bastards doing this now when they have been quiet all this time?!�

The alchemists and mages could not hide their shock.

The Whipper Kingdom�s forces that had run wild as if they had wanted to rip them all into pieces had not shown any reaction ever since the end of the first battle.

Plop.

The Vice Captain of the First Knights Brigade opened the flap of his tent and headed out.

He could see the desolate land with the debris from the destroyed black towers.

He could also see the damaged and charred ground.

The Empire had set up camp right next to that area. JrNovels.com
