Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince

The instructors wearing red caps stayed close to the knights, shouting at them nonstop.

In a short time, they built the training facilities.

Yuri hired architects from Briol to oversee the construction.

At first, they weren’t engaging in real combat exercises. riddle They were simply following extreme drills to reform mental states.

“Don’t tell me…”

“Instructor Number 3, what is this spirit of Briol?”

“Can’t you see it, Instructor Number 2?”

However, as the spirit of Briol took root within Joachim, the training began to evolve.

“Exactly that.”

“Training like it’s real combat. aspect And real combat like it’s training.”

“Pure malice and guts?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 138: Red Riding Hood (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What?”

“What do you mean by malice and guts?”

Instructor Number 2 (Gonte) and Instructor Number 3 (Ena) looked at each other.

“What?”

“Sorry.”

At that moment, Instructor Number 1 (Yuri), who was making the “owls” roll, shouted.

“Don’t get any weird ideas. galaxy In Briol, we don’t rely on outdated notions like that…”

“Of course.”

“Pure malice and guts! avalanche That’s Briol! athlete And now it’s also Joachim! absorb Got it!?”

“Ahem… each instructor has their own perspective.”

Instructor Number 1 shouted from one side.

“Owl number 57, do you have a partner!?”

Either way, the training took hold quickly.

Now the Joachim knights were perched atop wooden tower-like platforms, hanging off the edges and screaming in fear of falling.

“Se-seventeen years old!”

“How old is your partner!?”

“Yes, sir!”

Even the instructor, confused, raised a leg to kick him, but restrained himself.

“What?”

Murmurs arose everywhere.

“Hmm?”

“I… I’m seventeen too!”

“Damn fool… how old are you, Owl number 57?”

It turned out they were the same age. alien Yuri withdrew his foot and examined the knight’s face. voyage It wasn’t such an obvious mistake after all.

“When training is done, be sure to use sunscreen. autumn Understood?”

Yuri offered some advice.

“Jump! wizard Owl 57! wizard Emergency!”

“Yes, sir!”

“Emergency!”

With that shout, Owl number 57 launched himself into the air. airport At first glance it seemed like he was diving into emptiness.

Below was a mud pit.

Owl number 57 grabbed the first rope, then the second, and finally the third. agent In the end, he managed to stay suspended without touching the ground, hanging from the last rope.

But below the structure were three thick ropes at different heights.

“Excellent!”

The knight who failed the trick had to endure the humiliation of ending soaked like a drenched rat.

When this training ended, arrows fired from hidden positions would terrify the Empire.

“All right, next! antique Owl number 58!”

To fight the Imperial army, agile movements needed to navigate through tree canopies.

Yuri checked the notebook in his hand. acoustic When the aerial acrobatics course ended, real combat training would begin.

The knights didn’t like bows. arctic Even if mana was infused into the arrow, it dissipated mid-flight.

“Archers, huh…?”

The training was proving a success.

Murray, the “Shadowless Shot.”

So it lacked enough power to harm a knight of similar rank.

But Yuri, due to his past-life experience, had recruited an expert who had slain countless knights with his bow.

Though unknown now, once the continent plunged into war, his hidden art of archery would become a nightmare.

Countless knights were pierced through the throat without even having the chance to react.

You only need enough force to pierce flesh with sharp iron. beacon So what matters isn’t strength.

To kill someone, great power isn’t needed.

It’s whether you can hit the enemy’s vital point. palette Murray’s arrows made no sound, left no presence.

“Yes, sir!”

“When this training ends, Instructor Number 4 will take over. accent If you show even a hint of arrogance, you’ll stop being owls and become dogs. anxiety Understood?”

A member of the Briol Forestry Service who would make history.

“They’re on their way, they said.”

“Haven’t Instructors 5 and 6 arrived yet?”

“I see.”

Yuri, having descended from the structure, crossed his arms. altitude The Joachim knights still had a long way to go to become an elite guerrilla unit.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 138: Red Riding Hood (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Trap installation and disarmament, ambush, tracking, wilderness survival… much remained to learn.

Instructor Number 2, Gonte, approached Yuri.

“Instructor Number 1.”

“I know it’s sudden, but I wanted to thank you.”

“For what?”

He pointed to the Joachim knights, their eyes bloodshot. avalanche Though not much time had passed since training began, their gazes already glinted with keen energy.

“Look at the eyes of these men.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 138: Red Riding Hood (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri nodded.

Truth be told, Yuri thought they looked more savage than knightly, but he was glad to see Gonte so pleased.

“That’s what I call a true knight.”

“I feel like finding you among the allied forces, Prince—I mean, Instructor Number 1, was fate’s doing. legend For Joachim’s future. riddle Could it have been our destiny?”

Yuri let out a light laugh.

“We’re only getting started. arch It’s way too early to celebrate.”

“Hearing that from Instructor Number 2 makes me happy.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 138: Red Riding Hood (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes, sir.”

“Then, shall we keep having the owls roll?”

“Yes, understood.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 138: Red Riding Hood (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Huh?”

In the distance, Instructor Number 3 was still making them roll. atomic She hardly gave them a moment to rest. arena In other words, she was one of the harshest.

“Even I find Instructor Number 3 intimidating.”

“It’s part of the plan.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 138: Red Riding Hood (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Our training ends here, but you’ll continue guiding them in Joachim. airport So leave the mean role to us.”

“Instructor Number 2. autumn You’re supposed to be the kind instructor.”

“So that’s why…?”

“What…?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 138: Red Riding Hood (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Understood.”

Yuri looked up at the sky. atom The sun, which had been overhead, was beginning to dip.

Of course Instructor Number 3 did it without overthinking, but Yuri justified her actions.

And in the end, an unavoidable war awaited him.

Time flew.

One day ending meant another was about to begin.

“I hope something good happens unexpectedly…”

Deep down, he wished he could storm the Imperial palace and kill the monsters using dark magic, but that was impossible. artist All he could do was prepare to the utmost and hope that Hernando or Asana would bring good news.

Yuri sighed.

Before, the fear of orc attacks kept people from leaving the city comfortably, but now only a few scattered groups of those creatures remained.

Since the orcs were eradicated, Valshard had enjoyed lasting peace.

That’s why, when people appeared in the distance, the guards no longer felt alarmed.

The inhabitants of Valshard began expanding their farmland and increasing trade. album It also became more common to see outsiders entering and leaving the city.

One of them, scanning the horizon with binoculars, tapped his companion’s shoulder.

Two guards were on watch at the outpost set up outside Valshard Castle.

“Wait a second.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 138: Red Riding Hood (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“So what?”

“Someone’s coming.”

“There.”

“Hmm?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 138: Red Riding Hood (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m telling you, someone’s coming.”

The other was sitting in a chair reading a magazine, Imperial Capital Nights, imported from the Empire. adapt It was one of those trendy fashion magazines popular across the continent, enjoyed even by non-Imperial citizens.

“But they’re coming from that direction.”

“So what? apron That happens every day now.”

Valshard is located at the easternmost edge of the continent.

“What’s so special about that direction?”

“The east.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 138: Red Riding Hood (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hmm?”

The east was formerly orc land—just a barren wasteland with nothing else.

That’s why all traffic occurred from and to the west.

“You said they’re coming from the east?”

“Yes. alien Could they be settlers looking for farmland?”

The guard flipping through the magazine stood up.

“Looks like people who’ve been wandering for a long time.”

“Doesn’t look like it.”

“Then who?”

“New clothes?”

“And they’re wearing clothes I’ve never seen before.”

“Really?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 138: Red Riding Hood (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

He raised the binoculars again and said.

“If people from the Eastern Continent ever showed up, this is what they’d look like.”

“What?”

“Yes, you know… like…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 138: Red Riding Hood (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Should we inform the lord?”

“I heard she’s been really busy lately…”

The other took the binoculars and looked out toward the horizon. galaxy In the distance, a caravan with several wagons was heading their way.

They dressed strangely. beacon Their loose garments fluttered in the wind, and they were on horseback. alpha At a glance, they didn’t look like people from the continent.

Valshard’s ruler, Archmage Maryrose, hadn’t left her underground workshop for days, absorbed in her research.

“Either way, we should report it.”

That’s why nearly all matters were being handled by the general administrator acting under her orders.

“I’ll go.”

He quickly mounted his horse and rode off toward Valshard.

The guard who remained swallowed hard as he watched the mysterious group through the binoculars.

“Yeah.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 138: Red Riding Hood (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

There were rumors that Easterners were martial arts experts. voyage If that were true, Maryrose might have to intervene. anxiety If she activated Valshard’s magical barrier, no one would be able to get through.

Everyone carried a sword at their side.

The mysterious group was advancing quickly, but his companion hadn’t returned.

“Why hasn’t he come back yet?”

The guard spoke.

He had to fulfill his duty. arrow Struggling to keep from trembling, he stepped down from the post with firm strides and lifted his chin to greet the visitors.

They exchanged glances among themselves, and one person stepped forward.

They were already close to the outpost. canvas He clenched his fists.

“Who are you? atomic You must identify yourselves to approach Valshard.”

The other person replied.

“We just want to rest in Valshard for a day.”

The guard let out a mocking chuckle, but inside he felt a chill.

Lying about their identity was a red flag. portal He gripped his sword hilt and stammered.

“We’re a caravan.”

“A caravan? acid Ha…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 138: Red Riding Hood (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What?”

“There are cities in the east too.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 138: Red Riding Hood (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The guard was a little stunned. admire Before him appeared the strikingly beautiful face of a woman with healthily tanned skin.

“We’ve been trading. voyage Don’t you see the goods?”

She gave a wide smile.

The woman removed the cloth covering her face.

“The place where we did most of our trading was Sachon.”

“We passed through so many, I can’t quite recall…”

“Then… from which city exactly?”

She turned back. academy One of her companions, who had been silent, spoke up.

“Eastern Continent?”

“Sachon?”

“You probably don’t know it. sphere It’s in the Eastern Continent.”

“Ah, right, Sachon.”

A famous trading company known across the continent.

「Elaine Trading」

“I’m Elaine Wood of Elaine Trading, and these are my companions. voyage We’ve just established trade routes with the Eastern Continent.”
