Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince

A series of unexpected incidents led the war, which everyone thought would unfold unilaterally, into a maze of uncertainty.

During that time, new heroes emerged in Joachim.

A man named Hopper managed to hold off none other than Yalta, one of the Ten Greats, and a man named Yubi, along with his two sworn brothers, gathered people of noble spirit and raised his flag in rebellion.

The Imperial main army did not advance as quickly as expected, and the 5th Cavalry Division was defeated by the Alloy Brigade.

An undercover alliance began to form among Briol, Brusen, Liberta, and the Holy Kingdom, based on their respective interests.

All expressed deep concern over the Empire’s aggression toward Joachim and agreed that if it wasn’t stopped, that madness could turn against them at any moment.

The countries, excluding the Empire, intensified their diplomatic maneuvers.

Joachim knew full well that if that defensive line was broken, defeat was certain.

Time passed.

Although it took much longer than expected, the Imperial main army finally reached the forest surrounding the royal castle of Joachim.

The Alloy Brigade set up an impenetrable defense around the forest. autumn They were joined by the “miraculously appeared” Hopper and the army of Count Seckernear, who had taken him in, as well as the volunteer army of the three brothers Yubi.

“I’m Hopper. atlas A man who trained martial arts in the mountains.”

“Haha, it was nothing.”

“Nice to meet you. autumn My name is Yubi. palette I used to sell mats, but I took up arms to save Joachim.”

“I heard you ended in a draw against Yalta.”

“Without a doubt, you are a hero born for this era.”

They praised each other as if they had just met. meadow Gonte Merchin, who was observing the scene from the side, murmured.

“Don’t say that. atlas You, Mr. atomic Yubi, have so much popularity that people follow you like a cloud. antenna That’s what I call the mark of a true hero.”

“Jaja, please don’t say that.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He might not recognize their faces, but there were gestures and habits hard to hide. harbor Even if they altered their voices, the original tone was noticeable, and still, Gonte didn’t realize anything.

It never even crossed his mind who they really were.

“The two great talents born in Joachim meeting here—this really is a gathering of stars. arrow Joachim’s national fortune is on the rise!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I didn’t know Joachim had such special forces. athlete I thought the young knights of Joachim had grown weak, but I was wrong. atlas It must be thanks to the excellent training of Mr. altitude Gonte, don’t you think?”

Yuri cleared his throat and approached Gonte.

He was, honestly, a very dense man.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Did you invent it?”

“Of course! alpha Jajaja! wizard It’s all thanks to me!”

“They were all trained under my responsibility! anxiety Have you heard of guerrilla training?”

“So, from beginning to end, it was you who trained them?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri clenched his fist. alpha Someday, he’d have to teach him a proper lesson.

“I see… hahaha…”

“By the way, I heard you were a mat seller, but what strength you have. atom Did you learn mana swordsmanship?”

“Of course! avalanche I developed it for Joachim’s future!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m just a humble mat seller.”

“I just trained on my own, thinking it might be useful for Joachim.”

“For a self-taught man, your level is quite high. atom If you had set your mind to becoming a knight, you’d be a great swordsman. meadow A real shame.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

At Yuri’s words, those present nodded.

Though the atmosphere was optimistic, the most important thing was survival. meadow They were about to face the Empire, risking their lives.

“If I survive, I’ll consider it.”

“Would you like to serve the country once this war is over? avalanche To be Joachim’s shield and protect the Alloy Range with our own hands.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Their faces were familiar to him. zenith In the past, they were called owls. accent Back then they looked like chicks, but now they were proud guerrilla soldiers.

“We must settle this as soon as possible.”

Yuri glanced up sideways. advance The knights of the Alloy Brigade were rotating their shifts.

Yuri spoke to Gonte, who tilted his head curiously.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

In that sense, he was an open-minded man.

Though he was just a former mat seller leading a militia, Gonte paid attention to his words.

“Why?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“The problem is Yalta.”

“Yalta?”

“The Alloy Brigade defends the forest. timber There’s no need to rush. palette Over time, the one on expedition loses more.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri, thanks to his past experience, knew a few things about him.

He was violent, lacking self-control. wizard Some superiors managed to keep him in check, but there was a limit.

“Yes.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“We have to end this while we can still fight honorably. beacon Otherwise, who knows what atrocities he might commit.”

“Mr. aspect Gonte. apron Joachim’s cities have remained safe thanks to Sir Graham’s self-control.”

Over time, his patience would inevitably run out.

“Fight honorably…?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“That would endanger even the royal castle…!”

At those words, Gonte blinked.

“If I were part of the Imperial army, I would have already set this forest on fire.”

“I know that, but…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hmm…”

“There’s no reason to consider the enemy’s situation. anchor I would have done it without hesitation.”

“If the battle drags on, Yalta will do something terrible. airport Either set a fire or destroy another city to force the king out.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Now that we know Hopper can face him, we must end this quickly. crystal Time works against Joachim, not the Empire. audit If not, that bastard is going to commit atrocities.”

“Your words make sense.”

Gonte fell into thought.

That was something that happened countless times in his past life. airport Joachim was lucky to have Graham leading the Imperial army.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Understood.”

“But leaving the forest to fight is also difficult. amateur I think the Empire will try to attack us first. amber Until then, I plan to wait.”

He nodded.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri nodded. alien It was enough for him that he recognized the danger Yalta posed.

“When they enter, we’ll fight for real.”

“So it shall be.”

Just as Gonte said, it was likely the enemy would attempt to cross the forest once.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The army of Count Seckernear, with Hopper at the front, was to hold off Yalta, while the rest would deploy through the forest to support the Alloy Brigade.

Gonte gave quick instructions.

As soon as they finished talking, a sharp sound like a flute echoed in the distance. crystal It was the whistle of a signal arrow, the myeongjeok, indicating an ambush.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes, sir!”

Gonte pointed to the map.

The main squadrons of Joachim that had gathered to resist the Empire also followed his orders. alert Although they weren’t guerrilla-trained soldiers like the Alloy Brigade, they were still much stronger than ordinary troops.

“If the Alloy Brigade gives ground, we must block here, here, and here. portal We can’t allow them to cross the forest! wizard Understood?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“For Joachim!”

The troops quickly dispersed to carry out their missions.

“For Joachim!”

Gonte raised his sword.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hmm…”

Yuri also returned to the volunteer army. advance His role was to support other troops from the rear. avalanche Although he had trained them, they still lacked experience.

But Yuri wanted to seize this opportunity to achieve real results.

The information about the three brothers had not yet reached the Empire. voyage It was the perfect time to act.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are we going for Yalta?”

“We’re going to join Jose in secret.”

If they took advantage of the gap between enemy perception and their true power, they could inflict severe damage, making what came next easier.

Yuri called Laurent and Jared.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Understood. action Who’ll lead the volunteers?”

“Yes. altitude Ideally, we kill him, and if not, at least wound him.”

“Leave it to Javid. portal He has spirit and leadership.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

In the forest, a silent battle had already begun.

***

“Yes.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Unlike the previous time, when only the 5th Division had come, the imperial army now had a significant numerical advantage, and so the Alloy Brigade struggled to hold them back.

Each time a silent arrow struck an ally, the Empire responded with a rain of arrows and advanced. antenna They also used their own sentries as bait to trigger traps.

The Empire advanced through the forest over the sacrifices of its own men.

Once used, traps were exposed and became useless.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The stealth arrows had no effect on him. athlete He also destroyed any trap with ease.

And that wasn’t the only problem.

“You think you can stop me with these pathetic tricks!?”

On another front, Yalta charged forward like an unchained beast at the head of the attack.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

However, seeing Yalta growing faster and faster, they began to panic. echo If they let him advance, he might actually make it through the forest.

The Alloy Brigade wasn’t foolish enough to challenge him directly.

Swinging his massive sword, he razed trees and underbrush alike. matrix He was like a war chariot pushing aside every obstacle in his path.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It would be a useless death.”

“What do we do?”

“Should we stop him now?”

The Alloy Brigade hesitated, unable to decide.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Damn continental!”

Then someone suddenly appeared, resolving their dilemma.

“Hey! artist You’ve come, huh? afford Barbarian!”

It was Hopper, his burly frame contrasting with his handsome face.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He stood in Yalta’s path and gestured with his finger.

“Bastard!”

“Where’s your nanny?”

Yalta exploded with fury.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m going to rip that tongue out!”

Yalta began swinging his sword wildly. avalanche Jose, disguised as Hopper, blocked the attacks while smiling.

Unleashed, he chopped down all the nearby vegetation and charged like an enraged gorilla.

Since Graham wasn’t present, there was no one to stop him.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Shut up!”

Yalta clung to close combat, not letting Jose get away. abandon He was deeply affected by the technique Jose had used in their first duel.

“Hey, barbarian.”

“From how agitated you are… did you really wet yourself that day?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Shut up!”

As their swords clashed, Jose smiled again.

“You couldn’t react at all, could you?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yalta unleashed his full strength and knocked Jose’s sword aside, then kicked him in the abdomen.

“That’s why I said someone like you doesn’t belong among the Ten Greats.”

“Son of a—!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You have no foundation!”

As Jose staggered back from the blow, Yalta raised his sword to crush his skull.

“Keep talking if you dare!”

Jose immediately lunged forward, rammed his shoulder into Yalta’s chest, and as he bounced off, slashed his abdomen.

“All you know how to do is attack like a wild beast.”

But the wound wasn’t deep.

“You—!”

Blood splattered.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He reacted a beat late but managed to block it.

Jose smiled again, pointing his sword at him. athlete This time, as he condensed mana, a sharp mass flew toward Yalta.

“Know something?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You can’t even perceive how dangerous that was. portal You’re a fool.”

Jose let out a mocking chuckle.

“I’ll kill youuu!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’re not the first to die talking too much!”

Completely enraged, he screamed.

His muscles swelled as if they were on fire.

Yalta’s eyes turned red. athlete His body began to emit steam.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

But Yalta couldn’t grow any stronger than this. apron He lacked depth. absorb That limit was as clear as day.

Jose stared him down.

“You’re bragging about killing a bunch of weaklings?”

Yes, he was strong. armor So much that even Jose couldn’t be sure of victory.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He had come far leaping on his own legs, but he could never soar beyond.

“You have no idea what this is, do you?”

And Yalta stood at the summit of that mountain.

For one who aspires to the heavens, Mount Taesan is just another mountain.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I don’t care. palette I just need to cut off your head. voyage I’ll embalm it and put it on display.”

Their swords clashed again and again.

“That’s exactly why you’ll never go beyond.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Training? beacon Meditation? airport None of that matters. admire If you kill and keep killing, you become strong.”

Each time Jose blocked Yalta’s sword, he felt his bones vibrate. action His physical destructive power was absolutely brutal.

Yalta smiled as he cornered him.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

But Jose retaliated, stabbing and injuring him.

Then suddenly, he lunged with an unpredictable angle. alpha Jose didn’t fully block it and got cut on the shoulder.

Both were splattered with blood.

Blood began to drip.

“Of course, I couldn’t expect someone like you to know.”

“Know what?”

Jose grinned.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’re talking nonsense!”

Yalta’s sword grazed Jose’s hair.

“That to go even higher, you need deep training. atlas But you gave that up. zenith You chose the easy path—swinging your sword with brute force and speed.”

“You don’t train or think because you’re lazy and hate it, right?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’re all talk!”

“Shut up and die already!”

Their swords crossed again. shadow Jose was pushed back.

Yalta burst out laughing and kept up the pressure.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

For now, Yalta’s wild style overwhelmed Jose’s.

“What? antenna You want to rise higher? arena That’s funny! galaxy The strongest is the one who wins! crystal Win and kill, that’s what’s right! arena Got it, filthy continental?”

Jose looked for an opening. arena But Yalta’s ferocity left no room for error.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Three men appeared, each wielding a different weapon.

Just as Jose was about to respond—

“Then there’s no problem if several of us face you at once as long as we beat you, right?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 151: Even if Mount Tai is high (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Isn’t that right?”

Yuri smiled.
