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 33 - The Commander’s Newfound Youth “What the hell just happened…?” I scratched my head, looking at the golden-haired young man standing in front of me. He was the spitting image of Valon Sphinx: the only major difference was that this Valon sported a well-trimmed golden beard. I then moved my eyes to the copper-colored ring the young man wore on his finger. “That ring is a Magic Tool, right? That makes you…turn younger?” “Correct!” The young man — Vert Sphinx puffed out his…

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…

Chapter 22 - A Long Journey’s Reward I navigated through the maze-like stone alleys of Thebes, finally climbing a slope and reaching a large building. I approached the young soldier standing guard in front of the gate — though he seemed to not have much to do these days. “Hey there, do you have a moment?” “Hn? Who are you? This is the Margrave’s residence. Do not approach unless you have a good reason!” “I’d like to pay a visit to the Margrave, actually.” “Whaat? His Lordship is…
