Chapter 72 (2/2)

And the itele iron spear

[H-how do you even throw this kind of spear…?]

It was nothing but a declaration that his life can be snuffed out at any tihness! Please escape from this place There will be another chance if you stay alive!]

Douglas Hoover, who served as Carlos' deputy officer, rushed to his side

[B-but…]

[At this rate, we'll be routed by the eneue than that white-haired wench Anyways, let's retreat frolas called for one of the reenerals, Raid

[Yes! Did you call?]

[We will retreat frouard]

[Haha! I never fear the Grants! Leave it tosaid so, Raid bravely rode to the battle

Looking back, Carlos was overwhelmed with a sense of defeat

[Daaaaaaaaaaammmmmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!]

And so, Carlos' forces were routed

His army… was destroyed in no time at all to the point that they won't be able to recover anymore; just like what happened to Archduke Saxon's forces…

Dirk had spent a long ti his lord's action this time

[Our Boss is… someone who is beyond any common sense]

When Darius arrived in the battlefield, he promptly threw his iron spear

The spear was throith such force that it caused loud roaring sounds as it broke through the ranks of the re! Now is our chance!]

Darius rode happily toward the fleeing ene the stunned Dirk behind

[Hoooooooooooooo!!]

Everytime he roared, the Arcadia soldiers around hied in! Don't get left behind! They are neither deular men!]

Behind hi with him

It was a one-sidedchaotically…

[Are you the general of this army?]

A person stood before Darius

Darius saw a onal rod

[My nahness Carlos! Co so, Raid attacked Darius

Raid was a general in the capital Forht his way to serve under Carlos Despite his upbringing, his ability was a real deal, forcing Carlos to take note of him and personally recruited him to serve him at the capital

Raid himself has ambition and is confident with his own ability He saw this situation as a chance If he ed to defeat Darius and turned the situation around by himself, Carlos would surely reward hional rod with all his onal rod clashed with Darius' iron spear five times After that, Darius lowered his spear, obviously disappointed

[The Mad Prince of Arcadia, Carlos I was actually looking forward to seeing you in battle… how disappointing]

[Wha! What the!]

Those words greatly hurt his pride Raid recklessly charged in

A warrior can discern the ability of the opponent after clashi+ng weapons with the difference in ability that he never felt before

（…There is no such thing! I've reached ）

[Such a nuisance…now die]

Saying so, Darius moved his spear rapidly…with such an unprecedented speed

[Hagya!]

Raid could barely block that attack with his hexagonal rod… even so, the spear pierced through the rod and through his head At that point, his head exploded into pieces of blood and flesh

After confirlance, Darius roared at the soldiers

[Alright…let's march ahead Kill them until they are completely crushed!]

[HHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!]

In one corner of the Arcadia enca Zekka's report

[So far, both the forces of Archduke Saxon and Prince Carlos have been routed, but safe to say that those two ed to escape with their lives still intact]

[I see… thank you]

Ares laughed and turned towards Sigurd

[As expected, those tere defeated Both of thehness is the le for the succession of the throne]

[It's just as Ares-sama predicted]

[No… it's not exactly as I predicted Rather, it's beyond my expectations]

He was reminded of a certain warrior on Zekka's report

[The er than I expected And Darius Grants who leads those arhtmare]

[That's rare for Ares-sama to praise others]

[I have to re-evaluate the situation Whether they are old or young, they are still considered heroes The Saxons and their arrossly overpowered theurd and I worked together, we still may not be able to defeat hiht as much when I heard Zekka's report I'd rather not to meet him in battle]

[…shouldn't you be happier to find such an opponent?]

Ares laughed a little when he saw that Sigurd's eyes were briurd is always happy to find anyone who he can compete with for real Certainly… even if he can't defeat Darius, Sigurd would still be able to hold that scary urd his life

[If only…]

Ares muttered quietly

An army that could overwhelht such as Darius

[I wonder if he's the right person for , ht when seeing Ares said all that while laughing eerily

(When Ares-saone insane It's just that he's found someone who he must absolutely obtain no matter what method he must use… sourd bids his condolences for a guy he never even met before
