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

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

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

“Ahem… each instructor has their own perspective.”

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

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

Instructor Number 1 shouted from one side.

Either way, the training took hold quickly.

“Yes, sir!”

“How old is your partner!?”

“Se-seventeen years old!”

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

Murmurs arose everywhere.

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

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

“I… I’m seventeen too!”

“Hmm?”

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

“Jump! auction Owl 57! anxiety Emergency!”

Yuri offered some advice.

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

“Emergency!”

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

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.

Below was a mud pit.

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

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

“Yes, sir!”

“No, sir!”

“Do you have a partner!?”

“Then emergency!”

“Emergency!”

The training was proving a success.

“Aaaah!”

“Not that kind of emergency!”

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. audit Even if mana was infused into the arrow, it dissipated mid-flight.

“Archers, huh…?”

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

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

To kill someone, great power isn’t needed.

Murray, the “Shadowless Shot.”

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

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

“Yes, sir!”

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

“I see.”

“They’re on their way, they said.”

Instructor Number 2, Gonte, approached Yuri.

“Instructor Number 1.”

“For what?”

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

“Look at the eyes of these men.”

Yuri nodded.

“That’s what I call a true knight.”

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

Yuri let out a light laugh.

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

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

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

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

“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.

“It’s part of the plan.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Even I find Instructor Number 3 intimidating.”

“What…?”

“Huh?”

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

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

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

Time flew.

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

And in the end, an unavoidable war awaited him.

Yuri sighed.

The inhabitants of Valshard began expanding their farmland and increasing trade. aluminum 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.

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.

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

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

“Wait a second.”

“Someone’s coming.”

“There.”

“Hmm?”

“So what?”

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

“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.

“What’s so special about that direction?”

“The east.”

“But they’re coming from that direction.”

Valshard is located at the easternmost edge of the continent.

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.

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?”

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

The guard flipping through the magazine stood up.

“Then who?”

“Doesn’t look like it.”

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

“Really?”

“New clothes?”

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

He raised the binoculars again and said.

“Yes, you know… like…”

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

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

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

“Should we inform the lord?”

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

“What?”

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

“Either way, we should report it.”

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

“Yeah.”

Everyone carried a sword at their side.

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

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

“Why hasn’t he come back yet?”

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

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

The other person replied.

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

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

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

“A caravan? adopt Ha…”

“We’re a caravan.”

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

“What?”

“There are cities in the east too.”

“Then… from which city exactly?”

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

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

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

“Ah, right, Sachon.”

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

Then the guard noticed a flag fluttering.

“Eastern Continent?”

“Sachon?”

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