Chapter 65: The Outbreak of War 2

“Kaahhaha! At last, the approval has been achieved.”

Count Monarch, who saw the parchment sent by the messenger of the Imperial Council, burst into laughter.

The parchment paper clearly, marked the seal of the emperor, who had accepted to the war.

“Are we going out finally?”

A sturdy knight in full armor spoke.

He was the right hand of Count Monarch, Superior Expert knight, Cain. He was also the knight General of the Monarch.

“Yes. Finally, I can repay the shame that was brought upon me the last time!”

If the Count could act now, he wanted to sneak into the Rakan Viscount and kill the unpleasant people and get back his princess.

But he had endured his desire, as Goth kept on insisting that he shouldn’t move until he had obtained a official approval from the Emperor and the Council.

‘Yaah! How dare he try to deceive me and then run away after killing my soldiers? After this battle, I will reclaim the princess!’

Count Monarch’s affection for Reina had currently gone to obsession.

And that was why he was so angry.

Shaking his head, Goth spoke,

“But Your majesty, how can the ones from the Rakan Viscount even take down our Scorpion Cavalry?”

Everyone had been under the impression that the Rakan Viscount killed the Scorpion Cavalry as they chased after the refugees.

However, the problem was that the Rakan never had the power to exterminate the entire cavalry without letting one of them live.

“Are you still thinking about that? Is there another way? Probably he would have used a Gigant.”

“We don’t know if the 3 Gigants in the Rakan Viscount can even move.”

The Gigants were so important that territories kept their eyes toward each other.

Even then, the spies in the Rakan territory were watching for the Gigants, it was almost impossible for one to sneak inside.

“And there is another, the entire Rakan territory is under construction. I don’t think that they aren’t aware of the fact that we had applied for the war, but even then, they are working on such a short time to know that they’ll have to prepare for the war.”

In the eyes of the calm and cool Goth, the actions of Rakan made no sense.

Either they believed that they were going to win the war or they had already given up.

There was no way they were thinking of the latter, which meant there was something in the corner that they weren’t aware of.

“This is just a guess, the nobles might have helped the Rakan. If that isn’t the case, then the annihilation of the shadow knights and the Scorpion Cavalry can’t be explained.”

The Shadow Knights were sent to assassinate Luke, and that has been known.

Their remains were found under the broken Gigants of a cliff.

At first glance, it seemed like a crash from the ground that collapsed.

But it was very strange as there was no reason for one to deliberately take a Gigant on to the cliff.

In addition, the spy had stated that the Rakan Viscount had the trailer that the Shadow Knights had used.

This meant that the Shadow Knights had indeed collided with the Rakan.

“Without any answers to the questions, premature attacks will turn dangerous. So…”

The words of Goth made Cain annoyed.

“So what? Are you saying that we should accept defeat?”

“That isn’t what I am trying to say. However, I feel like we need to find out more than just to attack.”

For Goth, Cain was a difficult man to deal with.

His power was superior, and even his simple ignorance, it was hard to get a theory into the head.

“Whatever they do, we just need to crush and overpower them, that is it. Are you thinking that we would lose?”

“Ah, no.”

They had the power that could never be lost.

The number of Gigants alone made a huge difference; 20 and the knights that no one had.

The number of knights, including the Expert, exceeded over 200, and the soldiers were over 10,000.

With that much power, they wouldn’t be pushed even if they went against Marquis Mayers.

“Tch, use that head for good things and be done with it!”

“It isn’t that I have a lot of concerns, but I just want to be careful.”

“Then you want to miss out on the chance that is right before your eyes? Ah, this desk bastard…”

The ridicule of Cain hurt Goth, however, he had no choice but to shut up.
