Chapter 575 - Illogical Pride (1/2)

”Fuck! Young Miss Swan, how can your Swan City be this useless?! You've made no progress at all?!”

Raynred appeared on the battlefield, cackling. He didn't have a flying treasure like Leonel, nor did he have any ability to do so on his own, so he could only stand atop one of the Province's many collapsed buildings, using laughter to push away the very fear he had been feeling for so long.

He had no idea about the changes to Earth's people and his only knowledge of them was in battling them in a weakened state. So, seeing the mighty Swan City struggle so greatly against a single Fort that wasn't even comparable to half The Capital gave him a great sense of amusement.

Of course, a portion of his hearty laughter was reserved due to the fact Young Miss Swan had rejected his advances many years ago. So, seeing her struggle despite the fact the Swan family was supposedly so powerful left him in a good mood.

Knowing Raynred, though, it was obvious things weren't so simple. A union of a City and a Power would never happen. So really, he had only wanted to have some... immoral fun with Young Miss Swan. And, as the young Heiress of such a City, how could she allow her purity to be tainted in such a way?

Raynred may have twisted the matter in his mind, painting her as a stuck up bitch. But the reality was very far from this.

Still, Raynred wasn't exactly the picture of gentlemanly ideals. Was it really so surprising he had such thoughts?

Swan City had always been a rival to Keafir City. Although their current City Lord wasn't a match for the dead Anared's father, Syl and Young Miss Swan were always at a head. In fact, Leonel had witnessed this personally.

With such strength, it was no wonder Swan City was tasked with handling Earth's third ranked Province, Royal Blue.

Unfortunately, what was previously an easy battle had suddenly become difficult to even keep a foothold in. In fact, it didn't seem like it would be long until Swan City was being sieged rather than the other way around.

Young Miss Swan's attention had been focused on her father who was battling valiantly below, wearing his signature white armor. But, hearing Raynred's voice, many on the battlefield couldn't help but look in his direction.

The young Heiress frowned.

'When did the Powers get to Earth?'

Down on the battlefield, Milan, Joel and Raj stood valiantly. Having been given positions as generals by the Secretary Marquisette, they filled their roles in better than anyone would have thought.

Of course, if they were asked why, their simple answer would be that whenever they were stuck, they'd only have a single thought... ”What would cap do?”

This simple minded approach had actually placed them among the most effective generals of Royal Blue Fort.

That said, their success was also in large part due to the cooperation of the nobles. After Code Black was implemented, they no longer dared to hold back lest the titles their families had fought to keep hold of for centuries suddenly vanish under their leads.

”Who's this dumbass?” Raj's booming voice suddenly caused his troops to erupt in laughter. Their morale was already extremely high at the moment to begin with. Hearing such jeering right now made them feel as though they were on top of the world.

Raynred was too far away to hear these words since Raj hadn't enhanced his voice with Force. So, the latter kept boisteriously laughing in his own world.

After a moment, he calmed, sneering as he looked down on the battlefield.
