Trash of the Count's Family

Castle Leona was at least 2.5 times the size of the Henituse Castle.

People could see a black wave rushing toward them through the loud explosions.

Caro Kingdom’s crown prince Valentino felt fear as he looked at that black liquid.

A land covered by dead mana.

Nothing would be able to grow on such a land.

Any soldier who even touches dead mana would die.

However, the word that came out of his mouth was something else.

“…Shield.”

Boom, boooooom!

Tens of the small ships crashed into the shield.

Boooom-

The ground was rumbling.

It then caused the castle walls to shake as well.

However, there was an existence that was not shaking.

Valentino started to speak.

“…It looks like we can deactivate our shield.”

It felt as if another mountain had appeared in front of Castle Leona. However, that was a shield and not a mountain.

It was a silver shield with the crest of a heart. That large shield was defending the front of Castle Leona from everything. The silver light was so thick that it looked as if multiple layers of shields were overlapping each other.

Of course, Raon's voice was going off in Cale's mind at that moment.

Human, I think I really am a bit great and mighty! It is a four-layer silver shield! The dead mana will not be able to touch us at all! We will save everyone!

Cale listened to the six-years-old Dragon's excited voice as he made just a faint shield underneath Raon's sturdy silver shield.

His shield was not very strong as he had to create an extremely large shield this time. The shield had gotten stronger than before, however, it was not strong enough to defend the entire castle.

‘Dragons really are the best.’

Raon’s four-layer silver shield allowed Cale's shield to shine brighter than ever.

The Indomitable Alliance and the Empire’s bastards had created three times the strength of the shield they had seen in the Henituse territory's battle. Unlike the Dragon Slayer’s Sword of Disasters which struck Cale’s shield at a single point, this plan was to have multiple bombs explode in numerous locations at once.

They expected that this would be too strong for Cale to handle. They thought it would be able to create a gap or at least buy them some time.

‘Funny bastards.’

However, Cale had a young Dragon whose strength would not be matched by anything other than a Dragon Slayer. He had a satisfied smile on his face.

Crown prince Valentino who had no idea about this felt both relief and fear.

‘Heroes are people who change history.’

They would be people who change the course of the continent through their victories. Only those people received the title of ‘heroes.’

Commander Cale had told Valentino that he had brought heroes with him. In that case, who was the person that was leading these heroes?

“Your highness!”

He came back to his senses after hearing someone calling for him. He then gave the general an order.

“Immediately go find the priests! Make sure you get every single one of the light-affinity priests!”

The enemy was running away after flooding the land with dead mana.

They needed to create a small path through the dead mana to chase after them. In order to do that, they needed the strength of the light-affinity churches, especially the Church of the Sun God. They had shown this ‘path of the sun’ in the past when they got rid of the necromancers. They needed this path made of divine power.

The crown prince had noticed as well. He could tell that the enemy was not running away and that they were heading for the northern shores. It was not hard to decipher that.

That was why they could not let the enemy go. They needed to prevent them from reaching the northern shores.

If they couldn’t stop them, they needed to at least hold them back as long as possible.

Boom. Boom.

The explosions started to end as the rumbling died down. The silver shield started to become dimmer as well.

“Mm.”

He subconsciously groaned.

“Aaaaah!”

“Aaaaaah!”

The land was dyed black.

A sticky black liquid covered the area, making it appear as if a black swamp had been created. Above that swamp were pieces of the destroyed ships as well as the enemy soldiers that were dying from the explosion and dead mana.

“…A, a nightmare-”

Crown prince Valentino turned his gaze back toward the ledge of the castle wall. He could see the young soldier that was shaking while saying this was a nightmare. Since the Caro Kingdom had urgently drafted soldiers, some of them were only fifteen years of age.

Such a sight was showing them the true despair of war.

‘Cruel bastards.’

Valentino started to shake while thinking about how the Indomitable Alliance could leave their soldiers behind to go kill some other people.

He felt a sense of fear.

‘Do I need to send my soldiers to death like this to win as well?’

This was crown prince Valentino’s first war as well.

However, he needed to focus as he was the crown prince. This was the same for the rest of the Caro Kingdom's leaders by his side.
