“What is it?”

“We may have found a lead, sir”

All the ator team jumped up from their seats

“A report wasto them, two people crossed the border about an hour after our holy knights did”

“Who were the two people?”

“They were reported to be Luke Esteban, fourth son of Earl Esteban of the Hansel Kingdoht”

Lancaster’s face darkened He had been briefed about all the members of the party that had been annihilated as well as any significant relations with other people

“Luke Esteban, the fiancée of the saintess hopeful?”

“It seeh they’d been riding nonstop for a long time”

“Looking at the situation, it see after the saintess hopeful”

The holy knight next to Lancaster blushed with excitement

“It’s very possible that he witnessed the a”

“Indeed”

Lancaster tweaked his head as he pondered an idea

“Is it possible that he is an unknown aura master?”

The holy knight smiled bitterly as he shook his head

“Luke Esteban is known to be in his mid-twenties”

“H that he was only an hour behind our party when he crossed the party, it is very likely he witnessed the ambush”

Having come to a decision, Lancaster made his order

“We ride to Esteban Earldoet there The rest of you, iven proper burial”

“As you wish, sir”

Lancaster walked towards the carriage, his face locked into a fierce expression of determination

“We ride to Sith Empire”

Kurotan nodded thoughtlessly at Luke’s words

“All right”

“It’s so very comfortable for me that you were once an Orc Had you been a true human, you would have tried to dissuade me”

“Why?”

“Because, Sith Edom, are by no means on friendly terms”

Sith Edom located in the center of the continent The Sith Empire had started numerous wars in an effort to increase their territories, wars that had resulted in the collapse of doms

Luke’s Hansel Kingdododom in the north in order to deter Sith Empire

Kurotan nodded and then proceeded to ask another question

“So why do you wish to go to the Sith Empire?”

“Because a year froton and ask about Isabelle’s whereabouts Ifor myself in the empire before that”

“Your explanations make no sense to me, so I will just do as you order”

“…All right, and I will try to find bodies for your brothers that are sleeping in the spirit sword”

Until now, Luke had kept the proble the souls of hundreds of orcs in the back of his mind Kurotan had earned his trust, but not all orcs had the sah he had a fire at his back that he needed to outrun

In order to be able to take back Isabelle from the church of Maal and also protect her froth

‘If you look at it now, it see in Kurotan was a stroke of luck for me’

Luke was determined to make use of any resources he had in order to protect Isabelle

Kurotan happily replied to Luke’s decision

“That sounds good to me I wish to see them very much However…”

Kurotan suddenly warned,

“If you wish to control theer than you are now I have already acknowledged you and therefore follow your orders even though you are weaker than I am, but I do not kno the others will react”

“I already know that orcs all religiously follow the law of strength No need to worry, Kurotan”

Luke gripped his fists tightly

“Froto protect Isabelle”

A smile spread across Kurotan’s face

“Then, to co, shall we spar?”

“That’s exactly what I wanted to hear”

Luke unsheathed his sith no more words and stood up

The current Kurotan had already surpassed Luke Now, it was hard for Luke to handle Kurotan even if he went all out Luke’s attitude, however, was co sessions

“Keeuk”

Luke collapsed froive up

‘I can still fight”

“You shouldn’t over do it”

“I can still fight”

Luke clashed with Kurotan to the very li the process, he cale but important realization

“Kurotan, the speed thatthe more I push my limits”

“You’ve just realized this? This is considered a basic a basics within my tribe”

“I never knew I suppose I should push myself to my limits more often”

Luke and Kurotan continued to travel towards the Sith E heavily

The borderline dividing Tranbel Kingdouarded This was because only thirty years prior, an alliance of Hansel, Tranbel, and Garnet Kingdoed ith the Sith Empire

The eainst the Garnet Kingdodododom, and therefore declared ith the Sith Empire as well

The war ended after six doms were too much to handle and asked for a truce
