Chapter 435 - Receiving the Crown 2 (1/2)

Milton’s army, which had been defeated by the Rakan Estate’s forces, fled.

After two days of fleeing, they managed to reach the border of the Milton Kingdom and finally dropped on to the floor to rest.

“Haa, how the hell did all this happen?”

“I don’t know either. It was almost like a ghost was moving around us.”

“Damn it! How could we not know until the Gigants hit the camp!”

The nobles of the Milton knights gathered in a group of three or five and recalled the raid that happened two days ago.

The attack was surely sudden and was a surprise.

The Gigants weren’t small but the heavy Gigants had appeared right in front of their eyes.

And then the disaster began.

Even the allies tried to fight with their Gigants. However, more than half of the Gigants were destroyed even before they entered the battle with the enemy.

And when the Gigant’s got cut off from the battle. The winning side and the losing side of the battle got confirmed.

“Oh my god, this was all because those guards neglected their duties!”

“We need to punish the knights and the soldiers who were in charge!”

Different and horrifying opinions formed among the nobles who were ready to push off the responsibility.

However, even if they did try to go and punish them, the people involved weren’t present.

The knights and soldiers either fled the scene of battle or died during the surprise attack.

It wasn’t just those guards and knights but also many knights and soldiers were missing.

They were either killed or captured by the enemy. However, the number of men who escaped from the battle was a lot more.

Fortunately, Reynold brought the Iron Fist Knights that survived.

His younger brother, Reynard, who was using Anubis, became a lead.

“The borders are vigilant, but we need to blow the heads of those intelligence agents! If only they had grasped the right power of the enemy, we wouldn’t have had to witness such a miserable scene.”

Reynard, who barely escaped from the battle with Philip, burst into screams.

His brother, Reynold, nodded his head agreeing to it.

If Marquis Luke hadn’t acted out of mercy, the knights of the Iron Fist, as well as his life, would have been ended.

As such, the knights of Rakan were strong.

In the midst of the words between the two angry Sword Masters, the intelligence nobles and agents were nervous.

“I-isn’t this something that needs to be decided after settling down? Whether the intelligence agents are negligent or got cheated?”

“Exactly. Besides, this isn’t supposed to be a matter for us to decide. In the end, whoever decides to dispose of the rules will be abolished.”

Reynold could only frown at their excuses.

“What is His Majesty doing right now?”

“Phew, he went to bed due to fatigue. Since we escaped in the middle of the night, he is in extreme fatigue. And as soon as he got here, he passed out.”

At the words of Count Lao, a sudden turmoil was raging outside the commander’s campsite.

‘Did the enemy chase us all the way here?’

The brothers were stiff because of fear. They were more terrified now compared to the time they went to the Southern Continent for the first time.

They were holding onto their chests.

The nobles were holding their breaths as well and wanted to know what was happening.

Fortunately, the enemy didn’t appear, and the agitated guards became embarrassed.

Mayers, who was asleep, jumped out of the tent.

Mayers fell into a deep sleep due to the shock of defeat and fatigue during their escape, but he wasn’t in a position to sleep.

It was because his nightmares, which he thought was over, started to hunt him again.

-Your Majesty! This is unfair! Why did you have to kill me?!

A blood-soaked Count Bazzo was on his knees, crying.

A cool wind tingled his eardrum, and his headache only made it worse.

“I have nothing to do with it. Didn’t I tell you that I know nothing about it?!”
