Chapter 35 - The (Sister) Spy Scolds Not to toot my own horn, but I could say with confidence that the “Fangs of Steel”, the covert intelligence operations organization at my command, was rather excellent. Their level of prowess was top class, if not the top, not only in the whole Kingdom of Lamperouge, but possibly the entire continent. I was thus very surprised to learn that there was someone capable of avoiding being tracked by such spies, whose skills belonged more to the realm of fantasy than…

Chapter 36 - Aged Warrior After I finished drinking my tea, and Sakuya had finished administering due punishment to her older brother, a visitor arrived at my residence. It was a messenger from House Sphinx: apparently the head of the clan, Vert Sphinx, had something to discuss with me. “Oh? Are you going out commander?” “Yeah, just to House Sphinx.” As I left the residence with Sakuya, one of the adventurers — who was training in the garden — called out to me. Since I wasn’t very pleased…

Chapter 31 - Relentless Army “Haah…haah…haah..haah…” Lure the undead away from the fort and exterminate them, lure away and exterminate…after repeating the process four times, the adventurers following me naturally began showing clear signs of fatigue. None of us were on horseback: we ran and fought on our own legs. Firstly because the horses in possession of House Sphinx were being used to evacuate the citizens, and secondly, almost none of the adventurers had any experience riding horses…

Chapter 37 - Oath with the Maiden “To what do I owe the honor of this summon, Sir?” “I want your opinion on a certain matter. Well, take a seat.” Vert motioned to a chair, and I promptly complied. Naam sat next to me, while Sakuya stood behind me. Vert waited for us to sit down before continuing. “Thanks to your help, the creatures of the ‘Terror Armies’ that invaded our clan’s territory have been mostly wiped out. In order to completely cut off their invasion route, I have decided to take…

Chapter 32 - The Old Man’s Transformation The House Sphinx troops numbered five hundred soldiers. The adventurers’ platoon, three hundred. In contrast, the “Terror Armies” — after our raids defeated about 20% — were still over two thousand strong. Vert Sphinx flung open the gates of the fortress and charged outside. On the eastern side of the gates were about seven hundred undead, but the fierce momentum of the Sphinx soldiers and the adventurers’ follow-up from the rear caught them in a…

Chapter 26 - The Falling Fortress 【POV : Jaar Menfis】 After the fall of the border fort, the “Terror Armies” spread throughout the western province like a wildfire. More than half of the Sphinx domain had fallen into the undead’s hands: after Fort Giza, the first and second defense forts had fallen as well. The only remaining bastion before the capital of Thebes was the third fort. “This place won’t last much longer either…” Vert Sphinx, current leader of the clan, spoke with a heavy…

Chapter 27 - The Second Betrayal 【POV: Jaar Menfis】 “GWOOOOOHHHHH!!!” Outside the fortress, rows upon rows of undead swarmed the walls, trying to climb. The House Sphinx soldiers were beating them back down, but the inhuman creatures continued to climb relentlessly, without a moment of rest. In the past few days, the soldiers’ morale had visibly dropped. They had already realized that the fortress would not last for much longer. Vert, gazing with admiration at the soldiers’ desperate efforts,…

Chapter 28 - The Formation of the “Motley Militia” Some time earlier, in the western province capital of Thebes… I was staring at the sky, lost in my thoughts. Then, a memory resurfaced in my mind: a lesson I received from my strategy instructor in my childhood. Question: “What is the most necessary trait in order to lead people?” The first answer that popped in my head was “fear”. Like a great scholar of old once said, “a king should seek to be feared by his people, rather than…
