When the cavalry approached, some archer units fired in unison toward them, but as the arrows flew in an arc and descended, the cavalry had enough time to move away from the rain of arrows and escape the barrage.
The chariots had an even easier time blocking them instead of dodging; some ar...
2025-02-10 14:31:46 +0000 UTC View PostHeirina sighed after hearing Zelos’s words. He was brazen as ever, even when he was talking with the princess. She already told him many times to be more mindful about that kind of thing, but it didn’t look like he couldn't care less about it. Still, she didn’t lose her patience this time a...
2025-02-09 14:21:56 +0000 UTC View PostEveryone knew how fast Zelos could heal, so they weren’t that worried about him, but Heirina wondered if it was fine to let him stay like that… even now, he barely showed any emotion while interacting with them, after all.
The next day arrived and soon the group confirmed that Zelos was...
2025-02-09 14:18:42 +0000 UTC View PostZelos squinted his eyes for a moment and wondered what he should do… his club won’t last long. As crazy as that sounded against a glaive. In the end, Zelos put his club away and then equipped his sword and made Nightstorm move to the side a little. He was still holding the sword with a single...
2025-02-08 13:55:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe group looked at each other, understanding who that guy was. He was the enemy leader… the only guy calling the shots there, the general only didn’t have a good head for strategy, he also could lead the charge if he had to because he was that strong.
The group had heard about him from...
2025-02-07 16:38:57 +0000 UTC View Post“This isn’t the best of outcomes, but this isn’t one of the worst ones either. We can still push the enemies a bit more, but the terrain ahead is a bit troublesome.”
The terrain ahead had some hills, so the enemies will be able to set up some traps and ambushes. That definitely woul...
2025-02-06 08:41:15 +0000 UTC View PostMoving in the middle of the enemy’s lines was a pretty risk, tt was almost suicidal, but thanks to the darkness of the night and the chaos, Zelos was able to do so without being stopped. Some people found it odd seeing someone moving from one side to the other of their formation, but they just ...
2025-02-05 13:20:46 +0000 UTC View PostOne week later, the group arrived on the southern battlefield. The area there was a massive plain land that in any other time of the year would have looked pretty nice, but even from a distance, the group was able to feel the aura of death in the battlefield. It didn’t seem like the enemies wer...
2025-02-04 14:40:49 +0000 UTC View PostOnce Liry got ready, the group headed toward the largest area of the palace, this time, they found a bunch of guards stationed there armed to their teeth and ready to fight. The group stopped in front of it, but when Liry walked towards the room, the guards moved and then opened the door. 2025-02-03 08:38:23 +0000 UTC View Post
“... It pains me to say this, but the prime minister will try to dispose of me in all ways possible. The direct means like assassins are probably out of the question while Huxi is around, but he leaves pretty often. Still, me dying when he isn’t here would be suspicious. So, he will use indir...
2025-02-02 09:10:00 +0000 UTC View PostWhoosh, Whoosh…
Since Zelos was bored out of his mind, he decided to push his limits with training. He occasionally does that on his days off, but he usually takes it easy after a couple of hours since he needs to keep his routine steady. Instead of trying to rush ahead to get stronger, h...

“Just call me Liry. Whenever I hear anyone referring to me...
2025-01-31 13:42:02 +0000 UTC View PostWith the box in hand, the group ended up gathering some attention, even more so since they were heading to the palace. The place was around ten blocks wide and long, so a bunch of guards were patrolling the place while marching around and gathering at the entrance of the palace as well.

Reina should know that doing that would help the princess, but if she didn’t try it… it is beyond her means, or anyone’s, for that matter.”
The path toward ...
2025-01-29 15:13:30 +0000 UTC View Post“We will have to wait and see… that is also something that Reina told us to do. In the end, we can only work while considering the merits and demerits and then accepting the jobs where we can gain something for our services. That is all.”
Zelos was satisfied with that kind of answer. ...
2025-01-28 16:42:38 +0000 UTC View Post“It is time for lunch already. Let’s get going.”
“Good call.”
Everyone, aside from Zelos and Reina, chuckled. Zelos was at least easy to please. Fortunately, he wasn’t a kid dumb enough to be lured by food, otherwise he would have faced some serious problems.
In any ...
2025-01-27 16:02:56 +0000 UTC View PostReina's words cut deep… Heirina was aware that things were very troublesome in the capital. Hei even told her that if she had the choice, she had to avoid politics as much as possible since the problems caused by politics couldn’t be solved by a single person’s sword. In the capital, they f...

Irlan nodded. While it was interesting to think about that, ultimately, i...
2025-01-26 13:39:46 +0000 UTC View PostZelos imagined that the woman was Irlan’s mother and the little girl was his sister. Come to think of it, he had mentioned at some point that his little sister was turning twelve at some point. Since he imagined that Irlan’s little sister could be troublesome, like Heirina and Kaitrine, he de...

At the same time, Zelos realized that his basic moves needed some more polish or perhaps power… he thought that the natives could give him a few hints...

The sound of metal colliding echoed agai...
2025-01-24 14:18:14 +0000 UTC View PostAll those in the camp who could fight were following them… There were only around three thousand warriors against almost ten thousand enemy soldiers. The odds were stacked against them, but the natives looked like they were going to enjoy themselves instead of heading into a battlefield where t...
2025-01-24 14:16:46 +0000 UTC View PostEveryone looked at each other. That was an unusual demand from Reina. Maybe despite her blank expression, she was a bit annoyed by the fact that she had to leave her territory to help the plains folk. Hei didn’t say anything about that, but it was clear that he didn’t like the idea of letting...

Something was off… Hei never saw the enemies raising that much dust when they were moving. Besides, they were coming in a hurry for some reason, like they truly had come to finish things as soon as possible. However, instead of moving to attack ...
2025-01-23 19:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostThe current emperor only has a single heir, and it is a woman. That is why things are so chaotic and a lot of people are trying to take advantage of the chaos since no woman has ever ruled one of those countries. All the four countries around think that this country is done for, so they want a pi...
2025-01-23 18:59:09 +0000 UTC View PostHeirina furrowed her eyebrows when she heard that… those numbers didn’t make much sense. She could only imagine that Reina was talking about something completely unrelated. Fortunately, she decided to explain it.

2025-01-23 18:57:55 +0000 UTC View PostWhile looking from a close distance, Zelos saw that most of the people had body tattoos, but most of the paintings were only white. Some people had a mix of white and blue, and others of blue and red. Some only had red, and they looked really pissed.
The group left the boats when it approac...
2025-01-23 18:56:26 +0000 UTC View PostZelos felt eager to keep the iron balls ready to be thrown, but he imagined that the board mentioned that kind of weapon. In any case, the group reached that area and then they raised their guard. Since he couldn’t see the abyss anymore, Irlan looked pretty refreshed.
“Finally, some pea...
2025-01-23 18:55:14 +0000 UTC View PostIrlan nodded several times… it was obvious, and he wondered why he didn’t think of that, it was probably because of the excitement. Learning new things from others was good, learning new things himself was even better.
Considering what he had learned so far, Zelos assumed that the barba...
