Chapter 68 The Base Camp

Volf's aim was the pivotal point of the plains. The place where Gilbert started and Anselm held. By taking this point, they can take over the plains. Not only that, it will also be possible to send soldiers from the mountain side. If they take this, they can completely turn the situation around.

The Noir guards did not know but they had moved their substantial base there. The army commander was not there but it was the functional stronghold. It was the most important point to the Arcadia army and also the Noir guards' objective.

”I see… you build an amazing camp.”

Ywain said in admiration. The splendid camp Anselm had diligently built. The place was after a big down-slope and a gentle ascent. When it comes to arching range, the Noir guards would be a disadvantage. Using the geographical location to its fullest, he didn't cut corners and even made iron walls.

”….Ah, as I thought.”

He could get William's scent from that camp. Even Ywain, who had not met him directly, could tell from the looks of it. Firm, st.u.r.dy, impregnable fortress. On top of that, it had some sort of softness to it as well. No doubt it was William's idea.

”If William isn't the one protecting this place… Can you destroy it by yourself?”

”Is it okay if I destroyed it?”

Volf smiled. He had determined that William was not there. From his wolf's sense of smell, it felt like a trap. In the first place, there was no way William, who was the same as Volf, would be in a place like this.

”I will go finish the job.”

Saying that, he left the place, leading about ten people.

”It is unfortunate. I also wanted to try fighting the White Mask.”

Ywain drew his sword. They had entered a defensive formation so it would be quite difficult for him to go on the offensive. There is also a possibility of losing a lot of soldiers. But even still…

”Well, I guess it is fine.”

The lion was starving. After joining under Volf, he had had quite a few interesting fights but none were enough to fill his stomach. Volf was the only person he had deemed his king. And because of that, he handed over the tasty preys to him.

”Well then, let us start.”
