Teaser: Someone screaming, 'RUN FOR COVEEEEEEEEEER.'

Skeleton birds.

The largest bird was about 15 meters in length.

The large birds made out of bones unfurled their wings.

Their wings blocked the sunlight.

A shadow fell over the Empire’s knights.

“That’s-?”

Duke Huten turned his gaze toward the sky and then looked back forward again.

“Hehehe.”

As the Duke unsheathed his sword, the barbarian who had been blocked by a wall of knights burst into laughter.

Toonka looked like he was dying of laughter. However, Duke Huten couldn’t laugh along as he looked at Toonka’s expression.

Five in total.

Four birds rose up together along with the one large bird in the center.

“Duke-nim!”

Behind him came the urgent voice of one of the Empire’s mage.

“This is the energy from highest-grade magic stones! Those are bones embedded with magic stones!”

The leisurely look in Duke Huten’s eyes changed. There was no urgency, however, there was a look of sharp fury in his eyes. He observed the barbarian, Toonka, who was looking at him and started to speak.

“Flame Dwarves and magic stones.”

It was probably the Flame Dwarves who had assembled those bones together.

Huten knew the face of that Flame Dwarf tribe’s chief. As an excellent sword master, if Huten concentrated his aura into his eyes, he could see the face of that Dwarf in the sky that the other knights could not see.

After all, would it make sense if Duke Huten of the Empire didn’t know the face of the leaders affiliated with the Indomitable Alliance?

The Flame Dwarf chief who wasn’t supposed to be here had appeared.

In addition, there was a skeleton that was moving through magic stones.

There was only one thing missing from the equation.

“Mages.”

Anger was visible on Duke Huten’s face.

The Whipper Kingdom was a place where all magic was supposedly eradicated.

He was not talking about the Whipper Kingdom’s mages.

Duke Huten looked past the barbarian warriors who were laughing at him and focused his gaze.

“It seems like the Breck Kingdom dared to interfere in this battle.”

The Flame Dwarves were captured and taken prisoner by the Breck Kingdom.

Flame Dwarves were weak in creating magic devices, yet those bastards were able to create a bird like that?

That was impossible without the help of mages.

Duke Huten’s gaze headed toward the top of Maple Castle’s walls.

He could see a woman at the center of the walls who was openly making her presence known by stirring the mana around her.

That woman, Rosalyn, was looking down at Duke Huten.

“Is this the Breck Kingdom’s decision?”

Huten’s voice was quite loud after being amplified through his aura. It was so that Rosalyn, who was standing above the castle walls, could hear him. Toonka was no longer the focus of his attention.

The Mogoru Empire which had built up its strength over hundreds of years was not afraid of an enemy like the Whipper Kingdom that did not have an established history and just ran wild with someone like Toonka as their leader.

However, things changed if the Breck Kingdom entered the fray.

Huten could see the smile appearing on Rosalyn’s lips. Rosalyn then responded cheerfully, matching the bright smile on her face.

“We are mercenaries.”

“What?”

Huten couldn’t help but blankly question her statement. He could then hear Toonka’s voice.

“I hired them.”

“…Commander.”

Huten turned his attention back to Toonka. Toonka snickered with a look that seemed to say, ‘What are you going to do about it?’

“I hired some mercenaries and bought the Dwarves from the Breck Kingdom.”

“Such nonsense……!”

It was utter nonsense.

Rosalyn, who was banished from the Breck Kingdom, was technically free from the Breck Kingdom’s rules. In addition, if the Whipper Kingdom had bought off the prisoners of war from them, then the Breck Kingdom would have mentioned it to the Empire out of formality. That way they would be able to say that they didn’t support the Whipper Kingdom and play off the exchange as a mere transaction between kingdoms.

“Are you telling me to believe in such bullshit?”

Huten, suddenly started to speak to Toonka in an unrestrained manner.

“It was your Imperial Prince who spouted bullshit first.”

Toonka gritted his teeth as he glared at Huten. A correspondence demanding a slave transaction. That was the biggest bullshit out there.

Huten snorted and looked towards Rosalyn as he started to speak.

“Rosalyn, you and the Breck Kingdom have a lot to explain to our Mogoru Empire.”

The Breck Kingdom who dared to support the Whipper Kingdom and point its blade at the Empire must explain today’s occurrences to the Empire and bow down to them as an apology.

That was the weight of going against the Empire.

Huten could see Rosalyn’s smiling lips parting to speak. Her voice that was infused with mana rang out.

“Prepare to attack.”

Huten’s expression hardened.
