A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

The King of Frazia rose, shaking off the illness that had consumed him.

Through a speech to the kingdom, he announced his recovery.

“In the Duchy of Licatus, traitors dared to attempt the life of the duke. atlas They are…”

“There is no way to hide my shame.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was impossible to completely cover up the attack that occurred in the heart of the duchy—there had been too many witnesses—so instead of hiding it, he chose to distort the facts.

Thus, he publicly proclaimed the existence of “rebels.”

“I grant full authority to Duke Harbert Licatus. adapt Those who tried to exploit my illness to destroy this kingdom will be eliminated!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

The plan was simple.

Duke Harbert would publicly pursue the so-called rebels, while Fernan and Aint would secretly hunt down the real corrupt ones.

“Aint Armian, Fernan Pellenberg. agent His Majesty has promised his full support to you both. arena Moreover, if you succeed in eliminating the corrupt, Frazia will officially join the alliance led by the Empire.”

Of course, those “rebels” were also, in reality, corrupt.

“Understood.”

Imbrus Galante, Iosif Chton, and three other suspects—excluding Kret Helan, already dead.

The duke pulled out five documents.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s why we have to eliminate them all at once—like a storm.”

“These are the remaining corruption suspects. aspect Now that Kret Helan turned out to be one, it’s almost certain the others are as well. amber Officially, we’re calling them rebels, but they must already know they’re our real targets.”

With the king declaring the rebels enemies of the state, the royal army had full justification to mobilize.

Military strength wasn’t a problem.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The real issue isn’t their private soldiers, but how many other corrupts support them—and how many demonic creatures they can summon.”

At least, on the surface.

The duchy’s forces and regular troops would act together, and the enemies would be swept away.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan pointed to the names of Imbrus Galante and Iosif Chton.

Both were influential counts in Frazia, with considerable power and resources.

They might even summon a demon. galaxy That’s why they had to go in with full force.

“We’ll take care of the two most dangerous ones.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s very dangerous for you to go alone. atlas A cornered corrupt can do anything.”

Even if they split up, Fernan and Aint could each face a demon on their own.

“That’s precisely why we should go. zenith Aint is the worst enemy of the corrupt.”

“Reduce the troops assigned to those two and use them to wipe out the other three.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

To be ready, they needed more combat experience and to continue strengthening their bodies with elixirs.

They had defeated several, but far too many remained.

Though, of course, it had long been true that “just one” was no longer a realistic measure.

‘There are seventy-two demons.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

Aint would be accompanied by Aria, Verian, Gismond, Ahgrot, and Professor Adolf.

“…Understood. autumn I’ll give you official orders and a minimum of support troops.”

“Thank you.”

Fernan decided to depart with Luina and Hyde.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Be well prepared. antenna The corrupt and demons will see you as their main target. wizard They might concentrate all their power exactly where you’re going.”

“I have no intention of dying yet.”

“Aint, if things get too dangerous, run. attic Your life is worth more than killing a demon.”

It was the worst-case scenario, but not impossible.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And you, senior?”

“I’ll be fine.”

For once, Fernan smiled with confidence.

“Take Silver with you. arch If necessary, evacuate everyone and escape.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

And so, the group split up.

“Understood.”

“If things get complicated, I can escape riding Wooden.”

When he increased in size, the small golem could run faster than most birds and didn’t tire easily—perfect for a quick retreat.

In Frazia, a land infested with creatures, the shortage of soldiers had forced the kingdom to delegate much of the fighting to mercenaries.

“A pleasure to meet you. harbor I am Javal Lifanu, commander of the Third Anti-Monster Battalion.”

***

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Anti-Monster Battalion was an elite military force created to fight beasts and demons.

Frazia maintained ten battalions, each with five hundred men.

Even so, the kingdom had not entirely abandoned its duty.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Third Battalion was one of them.

“Luina Bercheff.”

“Fernan Pellenberg. academy A pleasure.”

“His Majesty has informed us of everything. arena Until the mission is complete, you, young master, will be the acting commander of the Third Anti-Monster Battalion.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

The County of Galante was located in the south of Frazia, a border region tasked with guarding the kingdom’s edge.

“Understood. arena Let’s depart immediately. portal Our destination is the County of Galante.”

The Anti-Monster Battalion was one of the main armed forces under direct control of the royal family. airport Their loyalty to the king rivaled that of the Royal Knights.

The target assigned to Fernan and Luina was Count Imbrus Galante.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

Ideally, he would obey the royal order without resistance—but if that were the case, he would not have become corrupt in the first place.

Fighting with monsters was frequent there, and the county’s soldiers were all hardened veterans.

If Imbrus Galante was truly corrupt, it would not be an easy battle.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“We’ll go in head-on. acquire We come with a direct order from the king. audit There’s no reason to skulk around like rats.”

And if he resisted violently or was already prepared? acid It didn’t matter.

“Do you have an action plan?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan, Luina, and the Third Battalion moved quickly southward.

Whatever happened, Fernan trusted he could at least avoid the worst outcome.

“The commander will act as your representative, sir. galaxy We’ll go disguised as regular soldiers.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

They didn’t bother keeping things secret. arrow Speed was the only thing that mattered.

“All right.”

“Welcome. avalanche We’ve been expecting you.”

Their goal was to capture the enemy before the corrupt could escape or fortify their defenses.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Sir Javal, long time no see.”

The castle gates were wide open, and the troops entered without encountering any opposition.

To everyone’s surprise, Count Galante received them without resistance.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’ve heard rumors about the duchy. aluminum They say traitors tried to assassinate the duke.”

Imbrus was a burly, middle-aged man, his body covered in scars—the image of a veteran warrior.

“A pleasure to see you again, Count Imbrus.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s right.”

A weapon is more fearsome when its existence is unknown.

The names of Fernan, Aint, and Luina were kept secret by royal order.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s true I had a good relationship with Kret Helan, but I’m no traitor.”

“And this is the king’s will?”

“If you’re innocent, His Majesty will clarify it in the capital.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It is.”

The count extended both hands while scanning the battalion group.

“I’m innocent. sphere The king will recognize that sooner or later.”

“I see.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Even so, wouldn’t it be courteous to at least accept a meal before leaving? wizard You must be hungry. atomic It won’t be a banquet, but at least better than eating outdoors.”

But as the soldiers moved to bind him, the count lowered his hands again.

“If so, then so be it.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The king wouldn’t have ordered you to work on an empty stomach. atom Don’t be so stiff.”

“We appreciate the offer, but our duty is to carry out the king’s order without delay.”

“Thanks, but it’s unnecessary.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

The count looked past the soldiers—directly at Fernan, who was disguised among them.

“Fernan Pellenberg. avalanche I meant you. apple Playing soldier can’t be easy—why not take a break and try the feast I’ve prepared?”

“I wasn’t speaking to you.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Intuition.”

Fernan removed his helmet.

“How did you recognize me?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan let out a short laugh. amber He had released a barely perceptible thread of dragon energy.

“I see.”

“Unfortunately, I can’t accept the invitation.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then I’ll take this as a formal refusal.”

Rumble—

“I see there’s no reasoning with you.”

The castle’s thick gates slammed shut.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

Tsk. album The count clicked his tongue.

“I just wanted to share a meal—no need to make it complicated.”

“…What are you planning?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You were waiting for me?”

“Of course. avalanche I knew you were coming here.”

“If you had accepted, at least you’d have died with the dignity befitting the heir of a great house.”

The inner gate also closed, and soldiers hidden among the walls and buildings began to emerge, surrounding them completely.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And planned to kill me?”

The number of soldiers kept growing. apron He seemed to have summoned even those assigned to guard the walls.

“You’ve meddled too much.”

“His Excellency has decided that you must die before Aint Armian.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Was it Dantalion who said that? absorb That I’m the more troublesome one?”

The count released his murderous intent without restraint. atom Demonic energy began leaking from his body.

“Do not speak his name in vain.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Because there’s no future left. absorb Do you really think that brat Aint Armian can stop the demons? voyage How naive. agent This world will end in their hands.”

So I must do something to survive, right?

“Count Imbrus! abandon Have you truly betrayed the kingdom? acquire Why?” silence Javal Lifanu shouted through gritted teeth.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And this is it?”

“His Excellency promised me—if I killed Fernan Pellenberg, he’d grant me one of the finest seats in hell!”

The count raised both arms and let out a deranged laugh.

“It’s not all. absorb I’ve heard of your fame, and of that monster you carry around your neck. audit Don’t think I came unprepared…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

But—

The count’s head rolled across the floor. armor Luina’s sword returned to its sheath before anyone realized what had happened.

Slash!

At Fernan’s signal, she had decapitated him before he could do anything.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“His Excellency granted me immortality! arch I’ll never die!”

“Khuhuhuhu… that changes nothing.”

His headless body didn’t fall. atomic The severed head opened its eyes and spoke.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

Everyone froze in horror—except Fernan, who remained unshaken.

“It’s not a handful. shadow All of them are sacrifices prepared especially for your arrival.”

“Did you really think that with this handful of soldiers you could kill me?”

“Sacrifices?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

Whoosh.

A wave of magical energy swept across the entire castle. afford The soldiers and knights began coughing blood and collapsing.

At that moment—

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Did you also place magic stones beneath the castle?”

“The great ones are coming. sphere Without Aint Armian here, do you think you can defeat the Lords?”

Their blood and life force rose into the sky, forming an enormous magic circle.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Nothing else? ability Such arrogance. acquire With two great beings descending, do you think you could—?”

Fernan walked toward the talking head and picked it up.

“And nothing else?”

“Of course.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Your real target wasn’t Aint—it was me. amber And to kill me, you planned to summon two demons, right?”

The head whimpered, but Fernan didn’t wait for an answer.

He squeezed. timber The head screamed.

“So that’s all.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“No! audit This wasn’t part of the deal! atom I wasn’t supposed to die here!”

“T-That energy… it can’t be…”

“If you can live without a body, then see if you can survive this too.”

The head trembled at the power emanating from Fernan’s hand—a repulsive force even Dantalion hadn’t warned about.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“So, two.”

The head shattered. timber The still-standing body collapsed lifelessly.

Crack—

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even members of the Third Battalion and the townspeople were suffering from the ritual’s effects.

Fernan looked up. audit In the sky, there were two magic circles, both gathering demonic energy.

“Commander, we must retreat now.”

The two thousand knights and soldiers forming the encirclement had fallen.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s too late. atomic The demons will be summoned.”

“If two demons are summoned, Frazia is lost! advance We must stop them!”

“By the gods…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I don’t plan to die here at the hands of demons. academy But if you stay, that will be your only outcome.”

Javal Lifanu’s face turned pale; he could see Frazia’s end approaching.

“At least the odds improve. zenith Unless your battalion can fight demons…”

“Are you saying that if we leave, you might stop them?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’ll trust in your reputation, young master. zenith I’ll head to the County of Chton and bring young Aint.”

The commander knew his limits—and those of his unit. alert Even if all attacked together, they couldn’t defeat a demon.

“…Impossible.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

The servant looked up at the sky.

The same place Aint and his group had headed earlier.

When they vanished from sight, only Fernan, Luina, Hyde, and another of Fernan’s servants remained.

“This is quite the problem, young master.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

His outfit changed—a flawless brown suit and a short-brimmed hat appeared on his head.

“Don’t you have confidence?”

“None. abandon Not even the Royal Knights or Archmages would dare say they do.”

“I never imagined I’d end up fighting demons.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And what’s that?”

“I have that same faith in you.”

“Faith that you wouldn’t have willingly walked into a trap without a plan.”

“But if we want to live, we’ll have to fight. anxiety Besides, I have one conviction.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“So, what’s your plan, young master?”

“Well, that’s certainly a problem.”

The servant stroked his mustache.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

The servant clicked his tongue.

“If you handle one, I’ll eliminate the other as quickly as possible.”

“Ugh… sounds dreadful. anchor What if I handle the chaos while you buy time?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“We’ve fought together for a long time. aspect She’s more synchronized with me than you are.”

“I’m the one who possesses the power of the Adversary.”

“Then what about that young lady praying not to be chosen by me in the Great Sacred Competition?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“So, in short, you’re stuck with me.”

“Unfortunate. zenith Truly unfortunate.”

“When all this is over, Luina promises not to choose you in the Great Sacred Competition.”

The servant sighed theatrically.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 270 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s a bit encouraging. audit Although there’s one more, isn’t there?”

“I’ll speak to Aint as well.”

Armond Merschdorf, the Sword of Pellenberg, smiled with satisfaction as he drew his blade.

“Then I have all the reason I need to give it my all.”
