Chapter 61: The Emergence of a Hero (3) (1/2)
Chapter 61: The E the ar destroyed, Marquis Marius quickly turned to the Second Prince
“Your Highness, you must leave immediately”
“Ha… you mean I should show those southern country bumpkins my back?”
When the Second Prince refused to retreat because of his pride, Marquis Marius clenched his teeth
“Your Highness, do you intend to follow the First Prince’s footsteps?”
“Ugh…”
The Second Prince bit his lips till they bled, but, using the First Prince as an example worked as intended The Second Prince had clearly seen the First Prince self-destructing when he didn’t retreat because of his foolish pride
“da!”
In the end, the Second Prince listened to Marquis Marius’s advice and decided to retreat As soon as the order to retreat was issued, the rebels pulled out the rean to withdraw But Milton couldn’t just let that happen
“After them!”
When the enemy retreated, that was the moment where military accomplishments could be maximized Milton im rebels
“Don’t let the rebels escape!”
“Show the bravery of the Southern Knights!”
“Victory is right in front of our eyes!”
With their morale up in the sky, the troops continued to pursue the rebels until the very end, slohittling them down
“My Lord, it is a complete victory”
Jero the rebels The rebels had suffered a devastating blohile their own allies had ave him a radiant smile in response
“They’ve all worked hard, but tell the towards the castle walls in the capital, he continued
“It’s too early to relax”
As soon as Milton finished talking, the capital’s gates opened and soht towards Milton
“I aht Vian Brian Reveal your affiliation and title”
A Royal Knight was the elite ast all the elites, but Milton responded without even blinking an eye
“I am Count Milton Forrest”
“Are you the commander in chief of this army?”
“Why do you ask?”
At Milton’s curt words, the Royal Knight’s face hardened
“In order to defeat the rebels, all arht Brian stoppeda murderous intent towards him This was because the adrenaline of the war had yet to pass and the knights who had yet to put away their weapons were eht felt like his heart was cowering in fear, but gritted his teeth and continued
“I ahts My words are the will and intent of the royal faainst the country?”
The hts did not decrease at the Royal Knight’s authority Milton simply looked at him
“You said you were Sir Brian?”
“That’s… that’s correct”
“Right Jerome”
“Yes, My Lord”
“Get him down”
“Yes, My Lord”
Without question, Jero his sword at Vian
S the back of his knees struck, the Knight was forced to his knees by Jeroht’s head was pressed down by Rick’s thick ar of this?!”
Forced to his knees, Vian furiously shouted, but Milton didn’t even bat an eye
“Since when has a knight idom?”
“Th— that’s because you…”
“I what?”
At Milton’s question, Vian looked as though he was biting back his words He had intended to say, ‘you’re just a hillbilly Count from the South’ But if he really said that, his head would probably be separated froht, even if you were just an ordinary leveled knight, you would be respected and held in higher esteem than the lower nobles But of course, that all depended on the weight of the Knight’s personal authority After all, Royal Knights weren’t actually ranked above a Count of the kingdom So, technically Milton’s words were correct
“……”
But Vian’s eyes were resentful as Milton cheerfully smiled at hiing your uess I have no choice but to pass down judgment”
Milton drew his sword and approached Vian
“What… what are you doing?”
“This is a war, and insurrection during a war means I can proceed without a jury”
Milton raised his sword
‘He’s…he’s insane?!’
Vian’s eyes ide open It wasn’t a bluff Looking at Milton’s attitude, he could tell Milton was really committed to it If you think about it, the man in front of Vian was the coainst the rebels So if he really wanted to, he would definitely have no qual come to that realization, Vian hastily cried out
“For— forgive me”
At that, Milton’s sword stopped halfway Vian swiftly continued
