Chapter: 2473

It was an emotion that someone from the Empire shouldn�t be showing.

�We had a long period of peace.�

It had been a long time since the world had last experienced a war.

That was why they didn�t understand the meaning of war.

�However, the Whipper Kingdom knows it.�

The period of peace.

Toonka�s group was the first to start fighting during that time of peace.

�We didn�t realize that.�

What good were swords made of gold if you never used them?

How could they defeat the warriors that didn�t even hold swords made from dirt, but instead plowed through the mud with their bare hands?

The Empire�s army had no experience going past their limits.

�No, we�re going to hold out.�

That was why the Vice Captain chose to defend. However, several dissenting voices immediately started to speak up.

�We can�t do that!�

They were the leaders of the mages and alchemists.

�Vice Captain! We must fight in order to maintain the Empire�s pride!�

�That�s right. We cannot show people that we are being pushed back! It will be bad if our already low fighting spirit decreases even further! We need to boost our morale!�

�These scumbags.�

Anger rose within the Vice Captain�s mind at the sight of the leaders of the mages and alchemists.

�Basically, you�re saying that the knights and the infantry are the ones who will die, right?�

The mages and alchemists would remain behind the dirt wall�s line of defense. However, the knights and the infantry, including the Vice Captain, had to step outside the line of defense and clash with the Whipper Kingdom�s army.

�Vice Captain-nim! His Highness will arrive soon!�

�We will look incompetent to his highness and the nobles even if we are splendidly holding down the line!�

�That�s right! We have to show them that we�re fighting hard in order to reduce the liability of our last defeat.� JrNovels.com
