Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince

“W-What I said was only for His Highness’s sake…”

Yuri grabbed the man by the collar of his tunic.

“I won’t kill him, I won’t kill him.”

“Let’s see…”

Just as he’d said, the noble didn’t die. galaxy From the start, Yuri had aimed at a small tree growing beside the wall.

Yuri leaned over to look down.

The man’s piercing scream faded as he fell.

“If he only broke his legs, that’s fine.”

However, the tree couldn’t fully absorb the impact of the body.

The noble whimpered on the ground with both legs completely bent.

As he headed for the wall’s staircase, Yuri kept talking.

Yuri shrugged and turned to look at the soldiers.

“Don’t you think so too?”

“Hey, you. afford If someone insulted your family, would you just stand there and take it?”

“No matter how much of a scumbag someone is, there’s a limit. ability Since when did insulting the royal family become acceptable? legend Don’t you think so?”

Yuri patted the shoulder of a soldier who had backed up completely.

“No, right?”

“No, I wouldn’t.”

“T-That…”

As soon as his gaze landed there, someone near the window quickly moved away.

Yuri looked up at the castle.

“Even if they’re watching you to see if you’re doing your job.”

“Open the gate.”

Yuri descended the wall stairs. orbit A considerable number of troops waited behind the castle’s main gate.

The imposing walled structure clearly showed how much wealth Genard had amassed. avalanche Once he was dead, no doubt much blood would be spilled over the succession.

Many eyes were fixed on him, but Yuri didn’t care at all. sphere He walked toward the soldier in charge of the gate’s mechanism.

At that moment, the clanking of armor came from behind. attic A unit of knights was arriving in a rush.

“Should I open it myself?”

“W-Wait a second. audit It’s just that…”

“U-Uh…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 198: New Rules (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri completely ignored him.

“Your Highness! anchor This is an abuse of power! artist Even if you’re a prince, you can’t act so despotically! album You must respect the Zaetheri family!”

The captain at the front shouted.

When Yuri released his killing intent, the soldier instinctively stepped back. alert Yuri skillfully operated the mechanism. galaxy The gate began to open.

“Move. ability I’m opening the gate.”

“Do you want to die?”

“T-That…”

He grabbed Yuri’s shoulder.

“Y-Your Highness!”

One of the knights ran toward him.

The visor closed again, hiding the state of his face. silence Only the blood flowing from the edges could be seen.

A scream of pain echoed through the area.

In that instant, Yuri grabbed the knight’s arm and slammed him to the ground. action Then, he lifted the visor of the man’s helmet and thrust his gloved hand inside.

When Yuri pulled his hand back, the glove was soaked in blood. action The knight clutched his helmet and writhed on the ground.

“Why touch, then?”

Yuri clicked his tongue.

“From now on, this is self-defense. zenith Your Highness, we won’t talk any longer.”

Yuri responded as well.

“This is where my warning ends.”

The lower-level knights began to gasp, unable to breathe properly.

The third prince of Briol, Yuri Briol.

But they understood.

The knights froze. acoustic The energy Yuri emitted was so sharp they couldn’t even think of resisting.

No matter how famous Yuri was, the fact that even veteran knights who had trained with the sword all their lives were outclassed like this made no sense.

“It can’t be…”

The praise that he was a genius who would succeed Fiore was mistaken.

The captain of the knights’ mind was racing. auction He could no longer see him as just a young prince.

In reality, he had already surpassed Fiore at the same age. arch Perhaps he was even already one of the Ten Greats.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 198: New Rules (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Maybe they’d have to gather all of Yuzes’s forces to face them.

He began calculating the situation, imagining other members of the Ten Greats.

What if the Black Knight arrived with thirty men at Yuzes? echo Or if Donchich appeared with several ogres? academy There would be no way to stop them.

“W-What do we do?”

The more perceptive knights whispered from behind:

“Captain…”

“He’s going to kill us.”

“His energy is insane.”

Some began complaining they couldn’t breathe.

The dense energy crushed their lungs. arcade The captain turned his head. apron He knew that somewhere in the castle, Genard was watching everything… but he didn’t know from where.

“I can’t breathe…”

The knights accompanying the third prince entered with determined steps, as if they were already an occupying army.

Finally, the gate finished opening.

The captain of the knights hesitated as he saw Yuri approach. adjust Hundreds of possibilities swirled in his mind.

Yuri said that as he advanced. antenna His group followed.

“I don’t intend to drag this out. august Move or die.”

If they tried to stop him like this, they wouldn’t win. adopt He was an enemy they couldn’t face. orbit But if he just stepped aside, Genard would punish him later.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 198: New Rules (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

But at that moment of crisis, his judgment failed him. auction The instinct inherited from his ancestors screamed at him to turn his back and run.

In the end, without reaching any conclusion, he stepped aside. meadow Following his lead, the knights of Yuzes also moved to either side.

Yuri let out a small laugh and passed through them. artist Even though he was walking into the middle of enemy lines, he didn’t show a hint of tension.

Should he fake a fight or just move aside? abandon Which option best ensured his survival?

“You really hoarded a lot.”

Seeing the armed knights, the servants inside fled in fear. crystal Yuri scanned the place with his eyes. sphere Everywhere there were expensive and luxurious objects.

Thus, Yuri and his knights overcame all obstacles and broke into the interior of the castle.

The enemy had appeared.

As he and his men climbed the stairs, someone was blocking the path from above. arcade Not only that, another group had appeared without them noticing and had cut off their escape route.

It seemed like a strategy designed to confront an opponent as powerful as Yuri.

They were trapped from above and below the staircase.

He was the biggest threat, so if they trapped him in a narrow space, they could limit his movements.

But that was an illusion. adopt Yuri smiled and moved forward.

He opened his energy without hesitation. portal He activated the Cut of the soul and the heart, and layered it with chaotic energy, making unpredictable possibilities swirl around his sword.

The enemies reacted immediately. acquire The energy of the densely aligned knights’ swords surged toward Yuri.

He unleashed an overwhelming technique—Whirlwind Sword.

A spiral pattern appeared on the blade of Guilty.

In a flash, they collapsed, falling one after another like dominoes.

The sword’s whirlwind energy swept the front in an instant. arch At first, the knights blocking him seemed to endure, but as the whirlwind’s power grew, they were pushed back.

Many knights who had been lined up were slain. autumn But overall, the damage was less than when the imperial troops were caught by the Whirlwind Sword.

Howls rose up the stairs—and down them. accent Yuri pushed through the gap he had created himself.

The reddish energy filled the entire field of vision. amateur Screams echoed throughout the interior of the castle.

The presence of a powerful knight significantly reduces casualties on the battlefield. apple If they had gone to Bezos, less blood would have been shed.

Even with this strength, Genard chose to hole up in Yuzes.

That spoke to the high level of the knights. afford Yuri curled his lip.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 198: New Rules (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The Whirlwind Sword Yuri used had a bad reputation not only among the Imperials but also within Briol. aluminum Every time he used it, everything around him was bathed in blood.

“What a shame.”

“If you had fought in Bezos, you’d understand.”

Yuri rested Guilty on his shoulder and looked at the enemies. atom The knights, stunned by the sudden massacre, didn’t know what to do.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 198: New Rules (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The enemies, their formations already broken, couldn’t respond properly. acoustic Then the knights following him shouted and charged up the stairs.

Yuri swung his sword without hesitation.

It was a technique optimized to devastate tight spaces. sphere But they didn’t know that. antique That’s why they thought they could trap him in a narrow stairway.

“Waaaaaaaaah!”

The knights of Yuzes blocking the retreat didn’t know what to do and froze, watching as their comrades were slaughtered.

Their cries thundered in the enemies’ ears.

Blood splattered endlessly on Yuri’s face.

“Haa… haa…”

Once the battle entered close combat, Yuri’s sword didn’t stop. aspect Guilty sliced through armor without pause, instantly tearing into the soft flesh inside.

A single overwhelming warrior, Yuri, had created this entire situation. advance The greatest mistake was evaluating his strength by outdated standards.

The battle didn’t take long to end.

Yuri massacred like a tiger in a flock of sheep, and his knights finished off those who had lost the will to fight.

“Let’s go.”

The enemies were all dead or in critical condition, scattered across the floor.

Apparently, even though Genard was collaborating with the Empire, his relationship didn’t seem close enough to grant him high-level intel.

To them, this was a routine scene. adjust After eliminating that group of knights, nothing remained to stop them.

Yuri walked among them without a care. orbit His knights showed no remorse or pity either. palette Their hearts had been tempered enough in war.

The path to Genard was open—mocking the prestige of the Zaetheri family.

They already had an idea of where he’d be.

“No. apple We go together.”

“Should we split up?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 198: New Rules (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri headed to Genard’s quarters.

When a person is full of fear, they tend to curl up in the place where they feel safest.

They quickly found another group of knights.

Thanks to a map made by Asana, Yuri already knew the layout of the castle well.

Seeing Yuri and his group completely soaked in blood, they lost the will to fight. zenith Yuri subdued them without needing to draw his sword.

“If you drop your weapons, you won’t die.”

Then he opened the door.

The knights were guarding a large door.

Genard, dressed in steel armor custom-made for his massive body, held an iron helmet under his arm while sitting on the edge of the bed.

An unexpected scene unfolded.

“Oh…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 198: New Rules (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What are you doing now?”

“I’m truly sorry.”

“Yes?”

“Your Highness.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 198: New Rules (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a sudden development.

“That’s why, with a heavy heart, I left troops in the rear purely out of loyalty to Briol.”

His solemn tone left Yuri momentarily speechless.

“I made the wrong decision. meadow As a noble of Briol and lord of Yuzes, I thought that if all the troops went to Bezos, Briol would be left vulnerable.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 198: New Rules (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

His brazenness left not only Yuri and his men dumbfounded, but even the knights of Yuzes guarding the room.

“We couldn’t leave Briol and the royal palace empty. riddle What if someone had other intentions during our absence? apple We could lose everything from within while defending the frontlines. atom That’s what worried me. advance It was my fault. adopt My excessive loyalty to Briol was the problem.”

“Ah, I see…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 198: New Rules (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Prince, please cut off my head with your sword!”

“Hahaha, Your Highness!”

Genard suddenly stood and knelt forcefully.
