Chapter 10 - Undone Reinforcements “Without access to the route through the central province, we have two ways to send reinforcements to House Sphinx.” I raised two fingers for Eliza to see. Feeling her gaze firmly on me, I then bent one. “The first is the peaceful way. We take a detour, through the south or the north. In both cases, however, we would be forced to cross over steep mountains, leading to a rather large loss of time and resources.” If we spent so much energy just to reach the western…

Chapter 5 - Messengers from the West At noon the next day, I had an early lunch and visited House Thunderbird. The butler led me to a guest room where Echidna was sitting on a sofa, magnificently fanning herself. “Oh my, how punctual, Dyn. I expected you to sleep in.” “Don’t treat me like a kid now. I’m 19, you know?” “Hehe, I imagined you would sleep in after you had your fun with your cute Sakuya…but I suppose the seeds of the next Margrave have started sprouting?” “...you’re…

Chapter 3 - Conspiracies Abrew After making sure the creature was defeated, Valon exhaled deeply. “What a fearsome opponent…though I wish I could have faced him while he was still alive.” “Lord Valon! Are you unhurt!?” “Yes, nothing to fear.” The vice commander approached Valon, who raised his left hand in response, then looked around the fortress walls. The “Terror Armies” had begun their assault shortly after noon: it was now almost evening, and their numbers had decreased to about…

Chapter 1 - Monsters in the Desert No matter where one looked, all that could be seen was an endless wasteland of sand and stones. Not a single blade of grass grew on the scorched, reddish-brown ground, glowing gold under the burning rays of the sun. Every time the wind blew, a sandstorm would rise along with it, sweeping the dried land like a breath of death. The western region of the Lamperouge kingdom ended at a natural border, separating the Garuda desert spreading to the west and the kingdom’s…

Chapter 4 - Port Town at Night Atahualpa, the capital and a major port town of the southern province of Lamperouge. The heart of House Thunderbird’s authority, as well as the largest trading center of the kingdom. A city that never slept. Atahualpa’s entertainment district was lit by countless bonfires, making it as bright as day. On a stage illuminated by the orange flames, scantily clad dancers exhibited their alluring arts. Men excited by alcohol cheered, as others walked down the streets arm in arm…

Chapter 2 - The Desert’s Black Lion “Terror Armies”. The abhorrent hordes of undead creatures this moniker referred to, first appeared one hundred years ago. There were barely any records in history regarding the circumstances behind their existence. The reason was simple: where the dreadful horde appeared, the surrounding civilizations were soon brought to ruin. It was thus difficult to not only discover their origins, but also leave any records behind. One known fact was that they appeared from…

Interlude - Royal Martial Tournament Part 19 - Morning of the Conspiration “Hnngh…morning already…?” Woken up by the sunlight filtering through the gap between the curtains, my heavy eyelids opened slowly. I moved my still blurry gaze to the clock on the wall and learned it was still quite early in the morning. I was certainly not what you would call an early bird, so it was an unusual time for me to wake up. “Today…I don’t have anything planned in particular…hmm…what shall I do?” I…

Interlude - Royal Martial Tournament Part 21 - Flower Honey Can Be Toxic I disposed of all the enemies I encountered on my way to the shack, where the hostage was confined in, and ultimately broke into it. There was a woman laying on the floor. Her clothes were still in their proper place: I had made it in time, apparently. At the same time, I noticed that the captured beauty was bawling like a child, and realized that I had *barely* made it in time. (First off…let’s kill them all.) The crying woman…
