Chapter 229: A Knight’s Honor (1)

This wasThis was different fro three-on-three They had tacitly agreed to a one-on-one fight, and the people around thereed to it when they had all moved over to the sidelines to watch Even Jerome, as utterly loyal to Milton, hadn’t intervened even when he knew that Milton was at a disadvantage It was all for the honor of his lord

But no one thought the Empire would intervene, not to ht that every knight in the continent, and not just those in the Empire, who held a sword in their hand, respected and looked up to But he had dirted his honor and intervened in the duel Perhaps he still had some conscience left since he didn’t try to kill Milton

Without a word, Jerome approached to examine Milton’s condition and to help him up Then he stared fiercely at both Duke Sebastian and Duke Schweiker

“”

“”

Neither of theht to treat honor with importance and a disciple who respected that lesson What could the two of the until Jerome had assisted Milton back to their side of the battlefield Their sha Jerome to prioritize their own benefits from this battle

Once Milton had been taken back, Duke Schweiker spoke heavily

“We should return as well, sir It seems like this is it for today”

And so, the two Masters of the Empire stepped back quietly

“So you’re saying that’s why you returned?”

“I’hed after hearing the rough explanation from Duke Sebastian, who had returned to the camp

‘Whether it’s here or the Southern continent, military men are all the same’

Antras had often experienced this in the Southern continent Of course, it wasn’t always the case, but warriors soainstthey illing to accept whatever punish was that each tiht have been different if it was for personal gain, but there was nothing he could do if it were for their honor

In such cases, if he ordered severe punishht be able to instill strict military discipline at that moment in time, but he would lose all support with the warriors Ideally, it was important to prioritize military discipline and command, but in reality, it wasn't an easy decision to lose the trust of the ist plans out an operation, it was the ist, losing their trust was like dulling a blade he held in his hand Although troublesome, most of the men who put honor before their orders were necessary and competent men

‘It can’t be helped’

Whether it was back then or now, there was only one thing he could do

Suppressing his anger, Anthra spoke dom’s forces have been halved The archer, Trike, was tremendously troublesome, but from what you said, he should be out of commission for a while”

Sebastian looked a bit better when he heard Antras’s words

“Froe I don’t knohether he’ll survive, but even if he does survive, he’ll have to take it easy for a couple of years”

“Then what about Grand Duke Forrest? What’s his condition? Didn’t your… last blow injure him?”

Since it had to do with his friend’s honor, Antras was very cautious as he asked the question

“I don’t knoas in a hurry’

‘And I couldn’t bear to try and kill him’

Sebastian couldn’t say the last part of his sentence, but Antras was convinced that Milton probably hadn’t died

“But he still took the brute of your strength when he got hit So at the very least, he’ll have to rest up for a few days, right?”

“Most likely”

“Good Then we’ll be able to see the end of this war tomorrow”

“”

Duke Sebastian looked uneasy at Antras’s words He was reluctant to have the upper hand in the battle when it was caused by hi his opponent

At least that was the thought of a ht to his bones Antras kne his close friend felt, but he pretended not to know Noas Antras was the strategist for this war, he had a duty to do his best to win While his friend’s honor was important, it was more important to minimize the loss of soldiers

“Tomorrow at dawn, the Empire will attack first I want you and Marquis Baker Gothaht flanks”

“What is your plan?”

“I want to show theerous it is to set up their cae and annihilate the his ar all paths to retreating which prevented soldiers froht However, just because there wasn’t a path to retreat didn’t always lead to a will to fight

Dealing with enemies in front of you vs surrounded by enemies in all directions while the path to retreat is cut off Although the two scenarios were similar, the soldiers would feel completely different about it Just the fact that they are surrounded often greatly agitates the ist is for the Lester Kingdo off their own retreat is a double-edged sword’

“How is Trike doing?”

The first thing Milon asked as soon as he regained his consciousness was about his subordinate’s condition

Bianca, who had been observing Milton’s own condition, was the one who answered

“He’s aight Thankfully, he didn’t use up his entire life force As long as he rests for a while, he’ll be fine”

“Ha…”

Milton let out a sigh of relief as he collapsed back into his bed He finally had the chance to think back to the last thing he reht Duke Schweiker What was the proble Milton re broken by his own blow That was all

‘That was a great shot that’ll never happen again in my life…’

That had only been possible because he had poured in all his energy and spirit into it and even luck had been on his side If he was being honest, he wasn’t confident he could do it again if asked to

“From what Jerome said, yah just about won but then someone butted in”

“Soot”

Milton sighed

“I’ it was most likely Duke Florian”

“Now that ah think about it, think that was the na answer Milton clicked his tongue

“Tsk, he didn’t look like the good sort when he openly wanted , but I didn’t expect hi man”

“There’s a lot of assholes in the world”

All of a sudden, Duke Florian was unjustly blaht now?”

“It’s been quiet since ya collapsed The two armies are just

Milton clenched his fist at her reply

‘Good’

This was good Thefor Milton had been to survive the first day

“Call Sabian over for me”

“Am ah ya servant? Get someone else ta do it!”
