Two of the knights looked earnestly at him. The Vice Captain closed his eyes after seeing the knights who were wary of the Imperial Prince�s impression.

�Damn it! Our liabilities aren�t the issue here! We might die!�

How do these knights plan on defeating the Whipper Kingdom�s army that are putting their lives on the line when they shake in fear merely at the thought of their liabilities?

However, the Vice Captain was not someone who held the authority to command the entire army as he was only a Vice Captain.

��Prepare for battle.�

The wooden door between the dirt walls slowly opened a few moments later and revealed the Empire�s army.

There stood the remaining half of the First Knights Brigade and the Empire�s soldiers who had swallowed their fear.

The ground was rumbling.

The earth rumbled more and more as the enemies approached.

�Kahahahaha! Did you finally come out to fight? Such cowards!�

Toonka jeered at the Empire�s army.

The battlefield was already filled with the Whipper Kingdom�s forces.

The soldiers, Bears, and warriors filled the battleground between Maple Castle and the Empire�s base while maintaining a wide formation.

The Vice Captain steered his horse forward.

�Your formation is sloppy.�

The Whipper Kingdom that didn�t have enough troops even if they gathered together was continuously widening their formation.

The Vice Captain immediately recognized what they were trying to do.

�It seems like you want a melee.�

He slowly raised his sword and stepped forward.

It was possible that he was the only one in the Empire�s army who was willing to risk his life like those from the Whipper Kingdom�s army.

That was why he shouted.

�Concentrate our forces! Our role is to survive until the Imperial Prince arrives!�

He chose to survive.
