Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince

In a short time, they built the training facilities.

Yuri hired architects from Briol to oversee the construction.

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

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

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

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

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

“Exactly that.”

“Don’t tell me…”

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

“What?”

“Pure malice and guts?”

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

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?”

“Sorry.”

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

“Pure malice and guts! audit That’s Briol! artist And now it’s also Joachim! academy Got it!?”

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

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 shadow In Briol, we don’t rely on outdated notions like that…”

“Ahem… each instructor has their own perspective.”

At his words, Instructor Number 2 looked at Number 3. canvas She cleared her throat.

“Of course.”

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

Either way, the training took hold quickly.

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

Instructor Number 1 shouted from one side.

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!?”

“What?”

“Yes, sir!”

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

Murmurs arose everywhere.

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

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

Yuri offered some advice.

“Hmm?”

“I… I’m seventeen too!”

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

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

“Yes, sir!”

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

“Jump! anchor Owl 57! timber Emergency!”

“Emergency!”

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

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

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

Below was a mud pit.

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

Owl number 57 swung himself along the rope with effort until he exited the muddy zone.

“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.

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

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

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

“Do you have a partner!?”

“No, sir!”

“Yes, sir!”

“Then emergency!”

“Not that kind of emergency!”

“Emergency!”

“Aaaah!”

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

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

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

The training was proving a success.

“Archers, huh…?”

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

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

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

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

Murray, the “Shadowless Shot.”

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

To kill someone, great power isn’t needed.

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. crystal So what matters isn’t strength.

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

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

“Yes, sir!”

He had no idea of his own combat potential in the mountains. antique He just hunted animals.

Secret techniques like this were normally impossible to get. amber But Murray was still an obscure hunter.

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

Now he was an official.

That’s why Yuri sought him out, offered him a lifetime contract and pension for retirement, and he agreed to bury his bones in Briol.

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

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

“They’re on their way, they said.”

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

“I see.”

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

“Instructor Number 1.”

Instructor Number 2, Gonte, approached Yuri.

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

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

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

“Look at the eyes of these men.”

“That’s what I call a true knight.”

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

“For what?”

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

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

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

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

Yuri nodded.

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

“Yes, understood.”

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

Yuri let out a light laugh.

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

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

“Even I find Instructor Number 3 intimidating.”

“It’s part of the plan.”

“Yes, sir.”

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

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

“What…?”

“Huh?”

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

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

“So that’s why…?”

“Understood.”

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

One day ending meant another was about to begin.

Thus passed another day in the guerrilla training field. zenith Yuri gazed at the distant sky with a sombre expression.

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

Time flew.

“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. august All he could do was prepare to the utmost and hope that Hernando or Asana would bring good news.

Yuri sighed.

And in the end, an unavoidable war awaited him.

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

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.

“Wait a second.”

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

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

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

“Hmm?”

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

“There.”

“Someone’s coming.”

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

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

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

“So what?”

“I’m telling you, someone’s coming.”

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

Valshard is located at the easternmost edge of the continent.

“The east.”

“What’s so special about that direction?”

“But they’re coming from that direction.”

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

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

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

The guard flipping through the magazine stood up.

“Hmm?”

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

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

“Doesn’t look like it.”

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

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

“Then who?”

“Really?”

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

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

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.”

“Yes, you know… like…”

“New clothes?”

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?”

“What?”

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

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

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

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

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

“I’ll go.”

“Either way, we should report it.”

“Yeah.”

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

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.

There were rumors that Easterners were martial arts experts. antique If that were true, Maryrose might have to intervene. atlas 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.

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

“Why hasn’t he come back yet?”

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

The guard spoke.

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

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

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

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

The other person replied.

“We’re a caravan.”

She wore a red hat and had her face covered with cloth, so only her eyes were visible. alpha Her gender was unclear, but her voice was feminine.

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

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

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

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

“A caravan? portal Ha…”

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

“There are cities in the east too.”

“If you were a caravan, you’d be coming from the city side. antenna A caravan from a barren wasteland? alien Do you take me for a fool?”

“What?”

The woman removed the cloth covering her face.

She gave a wide smile.

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

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

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

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

“Then… from which city exactly?”

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

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

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

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

“Sachon?”

“Ah, right, Sachon.”

At first he couldn’t read it, but in the lower corner, small text read.

“Eastern Continent?”

Then the guard noticed a flag fluttering.

The woman smiled brightly and said,

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