“Well, now that I think about it, I think I’ve been getting signs of it since I was in our city.”
“Oh, as expected.”
On one side of Count Hendrick’s mansion, a human noble and a dwarf Auror user were chatting happily.
Not all nobles ignore other races. There are quite a few people who changed their minds due to the amazing majesty they showed. Prejudice against all races has not disappeared, but at least they have come to acknowledge that the warriors of this race with them are different from their common sense.
And those nobles tried to somehow approach and build friendships with dwarves, orcs, and elves. Even though the races were humans, Prince Yubel’s army was currently on the same side, so they understood Repenhardt’s words that they needed to become friends.
However, since they are of different races and historically hostile, they have nothing to say even if they want to approach each other and talk. I guess we had to have some common topic to talk about and build friendships, but it wasn’t easy to create that opportunity.
But finally, a common topic emerged!
There is a deep connection between both sides, and moreover, the love story is something that attracts the interest of the world regardless of race and time. Orcs, elves, and dwarves were found chatting with human nobles and soldiers throughout the mansion.
“Humans, do men love each other?”
“It’s not usually like that, but knights say they reap something called a fine grain.”
“What is midong?”
“A pretty girl, like a girl.”
“I don’t know.”
“A child like a young saint.”
“Oh, I understand.”
“I guess your name is Zalkato. Orc warrior. “My name is Hans.”
“I am Zalkato, it is you Hans. I get it.”
“Hahaha! Anyway, let’s get along well in the future!”
Once they started talking, they started speaking naturally and naturally asked and answered questions about each other. Once the conversation began, the invisible wall between humans and other races lowered considerably. At least for those in Prince Yubel’s army, there was now an atmosphere in which these warriors of different races were recognized as comrades in arms who risked their lives together.
“… … So, we can say that we have taken one step closer to Mr. Reppenhardt’s dream. Isn’t it? So, why don’t you come out of the room now?”
In the rectangular stone room, the bedroom assigned to her as her lodgings, Siris looked into the corner of the room and smiled bitterly. Next to her, Russ, Tila, and Tashid had their arms crossed and had similar expressions on their faces.
In the corner of the room where their eyes were focused, there was Reppenhardt squatting down. He was just staring at the wall, sighing and denying the world.
“Haaaa… … .”
And in the exact opposite corner of the room, there was a small red-haired boy sighing in the same pose.
“Ughhhhh… … .”
The joy of overcoming the immediate crisis was short-lived, and Silan finally realized what a terrible thing he had done. It’s really to the point where I can’t even hold my face up in front of people. After sighing deeply, Reppenhardt furiously glared at Silan and scolded his brain.
“It’s all because of you!”
“Ah, blaming me now doesn’t change anything!”
Silan also rolled his eyes. Sharp eyes crossed in the air. And then a sigh comes out again.
“Haaaa… … .”
“Whoa…” … .”
This was what Reppenhardt and Silan had been doing for the past few days. Siris, who had left it alone at first, became worried and came to comfort the two.
Siris walked up to Reppenhardt and spoke in a soft voice.
“Hey, Mr. Leffenhardt.”
Reppenhardt lifted his head weakly at the soft voice of his lover. Siris continued as she laughed inside herself.
“What are you worried about? “Isn’t this rumor spreading all over the place in the first place because Cilan is so pretty?”
Russ also said, comforting Cilan next to him.
“And Cilan, wasn’t that why you exercised every day because you hated it?”
At that moment, the two people who were squatting opened their eyes at the same time.
“okay!”
“Right!”
When I thought about it, it wasn’t the time to be stuck in a corner of the room like this. Anyway, all these nonsense rumors are gaining credibility because they look so good together. Then just break it!
how?
Isn’t it simple? Silan just needs to become manlier and stronger than anyone else!
Leffenhardt stood up suddenly.
“Let’s go, Cilan!”
Silan also jumped up from his seat.
“Yes, Mr. Leffen!”
Leffenhardt declared firmly, clenching his fists.
“Now it’s special training! I will make you a strong man! Believe it! “Your body can become steel!”
“This is what I hoped for! Mr. Leffen!”
Silan also had his eyes filled with a burning flame of motivation. With desperate determination, the two people rushed out of the room. The purpose was to immediately run to the backyard and do some special muscle training.
Tasid muttered blankly while looking at the back.
“They seem to get along really well.”
“The rumor will spread further.”
“Iknow, right.”
Tila and Siris also laughed and responded.
“Well, rumors are temporary anyway… … .”
Russ shrugged his arms. The two people involved might not have felt it, but Russ knew well how short-lived rumors were. Rumors are the thing that causes such an uproar now, but will die down after a few days.
Russ said with a grin.
“it will work out somehow.”
Russ had already become quite influenced by Cilan.
Chapter 19 The True King
One
Karsas, who suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Redant, began preparations for a defensive battle with a force of 3,000 remnants of the defeated soldiers plus 2,000 of the capital’s defenders. He imposed martial law on the entire capital, reorganized his forces, and reorganized the capital’s defenses. Despite being defeated, he calmly reorganized his power and prepared for the next battle.
But the situation was not good. Thanks to the mobilization of a large number of troops by the nobles who had advocated neutrality, the current strength of Prince Yubel’s army was close to 10,000. Thanks to Karsas’s popularity, there was still little agitation among the soldiers, but public sentiment was different. The citizens of the royal capital were already whispering that Prince Yubel would be the next king.
Three days after Redant’s revolution, the 10,000 Prince Yubel army marched majestically toward the royal capital. The royal capital, Crotin, is a city built with a triple structure. There is a wall surrounding the entire city on the outskirts, an outer wall surrounding the royal castle on the inside, and an inner wall protecting the royal palace in the center. Prince Yubel’s army, encamped south of the capital, shouted with loud-voiced soldiers at the forefront.
“Traitor Karsas has been paid for his sins by the will of Heaven! Now kneel before the true King and open the door!”

A shout amplified by magic shakes the entire castle wall. Soon, a knight appeared on the castle wall and shouted at them.
“gibberish! What kind of heaven do these monsters mean? Prince Yubel joined hands with the devil! This is a stain that cannot be washed away from the long history of the Kingdom of Crovence! Prince Yubel should disband his army right now and pay for tarnishing the royal family’s honor!”
Then, curses amplified by magic were exchanged. Reppenhardt chuckled as he watched the scene from the base.
“Anyway, we’re going to fight anyway, so there’s a lot of talk.”
But I had no intention of stopping him. One of the reasons why he was called the Demon King in his past life was because when the other person shouted like that, he thought they were doing all sorts of things and immediately used magic to blow them away. As with Reppenhardt, it was an action based on the rationality of a magician who wanted to cut out unnecessary pretense and get straight to the point. However, from the other party’s perspective, it felt like a monster that could not communicate even a single word.
“You can’t make the same mistake again. “I’m already in a situation where I have to commit all kinds of unconventional acts, so I have to fight to do as much as I can.”
Soon, Prince Yubel, wearing splendid armor, stepped in front of the formation and raised his hand. And he declared the start of the war with a loud shout.
“Heroes! Show off your bravery for the true king!”
☆ ☆ ☆
“Oooooh!”
With shouts, infantrymen carrying ladders and ropes with hooks rushed to the castle walls with great vigor. In the Karsas Army, drums sounded and commanders gave orders.
“Everyone stay in your place! Archers! “Start firing!”
As soon as the infantry came within range, the archers drew their bows in unison. Countless arrows became a rain of death and rained down on the soldiers’ heads. The veteran soldier at the head of the infantry shouted.
“everyone! “Raise your shield!”
Arrows are falling heavily on the shield. Among them, soldiers who were unable to stop them can be seen screaming and rolling around after being hit by arrows. The archers from Prince Yubel’s army also responded. A rain of arrows flies towards the castle walls and dominates the heads of the Karsas army.
“It’s an arrow!”
“Hide behind the walls!”
“Rear-line troops! “Cover your comrades with your shield!”
Taking advantage of the moment when the offensive on the wall was halted due to the rain of arrows, the infantry succeeded in getting under the wall. Everyone worked hard to set up ladders and throw hook ropes.
However, the level of training of the Karsas army was high. Even as arrows were flying, everyone was working hard on defense by pushing the ladder with a U-shaped pole and cutting the rope with a spear knife. There was never anyone who gave up the walls easily.
However, Prince Yubel’s expression did not change. In any case, the infantry’s siege was just a decoy, and the real power was different.
Prince Yubel gestured again. The blue flag flashed up, giving his signal.
“please! everyone!”
A polite tone that was uncharacteristic of a prince, but no one found fault with it. Everyone who will appear from now on deserves that kind of treatment!
“Hahaha! let’s go! wife!”
With a loud shout, a large Orc riding a direwolf rushed to the battlefield with his greatsword drawn. The green blade aura pierced the air and gave off a brilliant light. Stala also shouted happily and drove the dire wolf towards her.
“You’re still going! husband!”
The three Dwarf Auror users also ran forward, each sprinkling brilliant light. Everyone was riding their horses with fearless courage, placing their short bodies on top of the captured coursers.
“Ooh, this makes me motion sick, Maloid?”
“Should I keep riding this?”
“They say you need to ride a horse to be in shape. “Just take a ride!”
Well, the conversation didn’t seem that brave, but since he was wielding the Blade Aura anyway, the bravery seemed sufficient. Although the horsemanship itself was clumsy, the sense of balance of an Auror user far surpasses that of an ordinary person. Even though it was their first time riding a horse, everyone managed to head towards the castle wall without falling off.
“Everyone is riding well, so why are you doing this? Hahaha!”
Russ also rode his horse, his blue aura forming like a fog. Unlike usual, he was wearing a full plate and looked like a perfect knight. Russ charged toward the south gate with the force of a general from heaven.
“They have Auror abilities!”
“Cyrus! Cyrus!”
“Oooh!”
With a shout, six dazzling flashes of light crossed the battlefield. Russ and other races of Auror users began charging toward the castle wall at once.
“shit! As expected, it comes out like that!”
Karsas, who was commanding from the bastion on the castle wall, was impressed. In the end, Prince Yubel brought out the Auror abilities. He would have done the same himself, so of course he could have predicted his opponent’s strategy.
The problem is that even though we know, there is no way to stop it. Karsas shouted, gritting his teeth.
“Shoot the arrow! “I will give a hundred gold coins to anyone who can guess those demons!”
A rain of arrows rained down on the six flashes. Kalken burst into laughter.
“Does a tree branch with feathers become a hawk’s claws? “It’s ridiculous!”
A two-meter long sword draws a huge circle of light above its head.
Wooooow!
A green aura shoots out into the sky, striking away all the flying arrows. Fragments of shattered arrows flew in all directions, like a volcano exploding. The situation was similar for other Auror users. Arrows alone could never stop their advance.
“Throw the javelin!”
One of the commanders trembled and shouted. Unlike arrows, javelins can pierce the thick armor of knights, so they are useful weapons in defensive battles. But it was still no use.
“What difference does it make if the arrow becomes thicker? “Hehehe!”
Sloitl raised his hammer and widened his aura. The flash of light swirled and became a huge curtain of light, striking away all the javelins. From their perspective, it’s either an arrow or a javelin. To be honest, the larger the javelin is, the easier it is to block.
Russ, who broke through the battlefield in one go, burst into spirit as he looked at the thick castle gate.
“Taaaaaat!”
