Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince

The knights of Briol, initially surprised by Yuri’s attitude, began growling in response to Orot’s aggressive demeanor.

His anger spread like a spark among the knights, who began to glare at the Order of Vengeance with eyes full of hostility.

Since no one had ever been so rude before, the king of Orot was visibly irritated.

“Oh, talkative, aren’t you. anxiety Just get ready to hand over the flag.”

The atmosphere turned tense.

With both sides lined up before the dueling grounds, the king of Orot spoke.

“They say Briol is the land of knights, but you’re ruder than common bandits…”

“Tch…!”

The king of Orot glared daggers at Yuri, then let out a twisted smile.

“Forgive me, but we don’t have time. anxiety I hope you understand.”

“I see… you want to complete the Chronicle of the Tyrant King. portal But it won’t be that easy.”

“I’m telling you it’s impossible!”

“Understood. alien Let’s fight quickly then.”

“Tch…!”

“Yeah, yeah.”

“Yes!”

“Just as we planned.”

The four knights selected to participate in the Chronicle nodded in agreement.

Yuri looked back.

Even their allies didn’t know the exact order.

He and Jared would occupy slots 1, 2, or 3 randomly, while the other three would fill the rest by draw.

Since the opponent might try to manipulate the order, Yuri arranged the turns randomly for a swift outcome.

Yuri’s strategy was simple. palette Trust each of them, trust their skill.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

They probably wanted to secure at least one win right from the start.

An uncommon strategy, since the strongest is usually saved for last.

Orot, on the other hand, tried to surprise Briol by placing their strongest knight first.

“The other side’s number one also seems to be their strongest.”

“Oh, lucky us.”

But the Order of Vengeance’s formation defied all logic.

His name was Norris, the strongest knight of Orot, also known as “the thorn swordsman.”

It was said that as a child, he trained by striking thorn bushes with a wooden sword until the branches were smooth as silk.

By chance, Yuri turned out to be the first combatant. album His opponent’s face turned pale.

With a serious face, he raised his sword.

From the beginning, he had dropped all courtesies only to hasten the match, not to offend.

“Me too.”

Unlike his earlier rowdy behavior, Yuri didn’t provoke at all once he stepped into the arena.

“I hope for a fair and honorable duel.”

At the signal, Norris lunged forcefully. orbit Just as they’d altered the order to mislead, he now tried to surprise Yuri with an unexpected offensive.

“Oh…”

“Begin!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Nice try.”

“Tch!”

But surprise attacks only work against those who can’t react in time.

Yuri was faster in every way. adjust Even when Norris’s sword was already at his nose, he still had plenty of time to act.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

If one looked closely, there was something to be learned in those trajectories.

His sword attacked Norris’s weak points in dozens of variations.

Though he’d been rude to Orot, Yuri felt a tinge of guilt. arch Instead of knocking him down immediately, he decided to give him a few seconds of instruction.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri was breaking down his techniques to show him methods of improvement.

Norris, being the supreme knight of his country, immediately understood Yuri’s intent and opened his eyes wide.

“This is…!”

“…!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Norris could clearly see how each of his moves was being countered.

“Watch closely.”

Yuri’s sword carved out complex, unimaginable paths.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was only a moment. ability But it was enough.

Norris dropped his sword.

Yuri’s spiritual sword left multiple trails in the air before vanishing like a dream.

Yuri spoke while resting his sword on his shoulder.

“I’ve lost.”

“Sir Norris.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Norris continued staring at the air, as if still processing what he had seen.

Finally, he bowed his head.

“Well fought.”

“I’ve learned a lot.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

From the moment he stepped into the arena, Norris must have known he would lose. amateur The gap in their levels was obvious.

And he meant it sincerely.

“I admire your courage too. advance That’s how a knight should be.”

He charged in from the start, seeking any opening.

He couldn’t have missed it. matrix But he didn’t back down.

He didn’t act like a coward.

Yuri respected that attitude deeply.

No one knew how to react to the change in tone. accent Fortunately, the next to fight was Jared.

“If I had been in your place, I couldn’t have done what you did. absorb It was admirable. abandon Thorn Swordsman, Sir Norris.”

The sudden cordiality at the end of the duel left knights from both sides confused.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

After defeating his opponent, Jared burst into laughter with his hands on his hips.

“That’s it? abandon Bwahahahahaha!!”

And he quickly blew away any lingering awkwardness.

The knights fired up again. avalanche On Orot’s side, some even shouted curses.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…”

“Better this than some warm, fuzzy atmosphere, right?”

Perhaps due to the tension, the third combatant, Tirbo, lost. antique His opponent was the second strongest of Orot.

Jared stepped down from the arena with a grin.

“My apologies. arctic I have dishonored Briol. acid This sin I can only…”

“Pardon?”

“You’re a count, right? armor Must have lots of money. apron Are you the heir?”

“Make up for with money.”

“Perfect. crystal Pay for it with money. academy I don’t like tragic things. album I like material things.”

Even so, there were no surprises.

“Yes hehe…”

Next up, Guinness soundly defeated the remaining knight of Orot.

“He looks young, but he’s amazing.”

“That knight was incredible. altitude His technique was like lightning.”

“Briol really is full of monsters…”

“We lost, but we put up a fight…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri looked at them, then at Simon and Guinness.

The knights of Orot murmured among themselves as they watched Guinness.

He remembered them as two scrawny soldiers in the allied army, and had underestimated them because of it. abandon But seeing how they were treated in other nations, he now understood they were recognized as true prodigies.

“We’re still inferior to Your Highness.”

“We still have much to learn.”

“You’ve grown a lot… Though you’re still lacking in some areas…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

In other words, they held positions equivalent to field captains.

Within the Order of Vengeance, they were already recognized as the strongest after Jared.

“Good job, Guinness.”

That Simon and Guinness still had shortcomings was only by Yuri’s standards.

“Thanks, haha…”

“I ask you to forgive the disrespect shown earlier.”

Once things had settled, Yuri approached the king of Orot and offered a formal bow.

“Hrmm…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I knew I was acting outside the bounds of decorum, but the road I must walk is long. shadow I had no choice.”

Although the king of Orot still wore a displeased expression, he eventually handed over the flag through one of his ministers.

“Still… talking like a thug is unforgivable…”

“Yes, I apologize.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah…”

“I received a message from the king of Anabas, so I have some idea of what’s going on.”

“Excuse me?”

“They were talking about the Empire and black magic and other nonsense, so I turned off the communication orb.”

“I suppose you have your reasons. aspect Try completing that Chronicle of the Tyrant King or whatever it’s called. acid If you manage to progress, your story will gain weight, and then I’ll listen seriously.”

“Anyway, take this and be off already.”

“I’ll do just that.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’re not even going to rest?”

“Your Majesty, we’re in a hurry to move on, so we’ll depart immediately.”

Yuri handed the Orot flag to the knights behind him. shadow Then he bowed once more to the king.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“No, we still have many countries to fight.”

The king of Orot let out a loud laugh.

“You’re serious, huh?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri and Jared never lost a duel, and the other three knights almost always emerged victorious.

“Very well. amateur Go ahead. abandon When you have skill, it’s not called arrogance, it’s called confidence. academy Maybe I will live to see that famous Chronicle of the Tyrant King completed.”

Nothing could stop them.

And so, the Order of Vengeance departed from Orot and continued challenging kingdom after kingdom in pursuit of completing the Chronicle.

“Pff…”

The worst result they ever got was three to one; most of the time, they won by three to zero.

The flags they carried grew visibly in number.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Your Highness.”

Because of that, before heading to the next kingdom, Yuri decided they would all rest for one night at camp.

“Hm?”

However, because of this, the entire squad was exhausted. attic They rode without rest every day and slept outdoors, slowly wearing down their strength.

Yuri, who was comparing the gathered flags in front of the tent, nodded. album Jared sat beside him.

“Go ahead.”

“May I sit down?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What was it?”

“I heard something strange today in Griggio, the place we fought.”

“What’s up?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I was just wondering the same thing.”

“But first… are you sure these can be joined?”

As he spoke, Jared looked at the flags spread out in front of Yuri.

“Well…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

While Yuri sifted through the flags, he looked at Jared.

So far they had gathered seven flags. autumn Nine were still missing, but it was already a significant number.

Even so, no matter how they arranged them, they didn’t seem to form a coherent image.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oh, right.”

Jared replied.

“So what was it you heard?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you sure?”

“Not entirely. academy Someone mentioned it in passing. agent That a friend from another kingdom had seen some unfamiliar knights. artist They told me to stay alert just in case.”

“Seems like we’re not the only outsiders participating in the Chronicle of the Tyrant King.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It must be the Empire.”

Yuri looked at the flags and then gathered them all into a pile.

“Hmm…”

“They also said there were five of them. arena Isn’t it suspicious for them to show up at this exact time?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“The rest of the Chronicle could get complicated.”

“The Alliance has maintained good relations with the Empire lately. absorb It wouldn’t be strange for them to learn about this quickly. sphere They must have sent those knights to interfere with us.”

“Do you really think so?”

“Then…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Would they really go that far?”

“From here on, we need to stay on guard. palette The Empire might be participating too, trying to gather flags just like us.”

Thinking about it, the previous battles had been too easy.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri looked toward the direction of the Empire. antenna It was north, from where a cold wind blew.

For some time now, the northern sky had given off a foreboding feeling. antique A chill ran down his spine every time he thought of it.

“The Empire has been quiet lately, but that doesn’t mean they’re idle.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was clear he was still conspiring in the shadows.

He hadn’t stopped.

Yuri remembered Cedric.

Laurent was skilled with a sword, and Cory could use magic, so they had no trouble earning some money.

Laurent and Cory wandered aimlessly across the continent.

But both had grotesque faces, so people avoided them.

Cory, who was walking ahead, spoke. crystal Laurent didn’t respond.

“From here on is the Confederation of Lesser Kingdoms.”

Unable to mingle with other humans, they survived by taking on jobs like hunting bandits or wild beasts.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s neither the Empire nor Briol. attic We have no connections here, so we should be okay, right?”

“Haha…”

“Shut up.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 235: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The two of them walked along a poorly maintained road heading toward the confederation.

“…”

“What if there’s no work here?”

At first, Cory had only thought of returning to Briol, but after spending time with Laurent, his decision changed.

Laurent replied, which was unusual.

“Ridiculous.”

“Should we help with the harvest or something?”

“Yeah, best shut up and keep walking. harbor You’re giving me a headache.”

“…”

“You think anyone would accept a couple of monsters like us? auction Have you looked in a mirror, half-orc?”

After a while, a cart appeared on the road and caught up to them from behind.

“Hey! album Where you headed?”

Since both wore their hoods up, the driver didn’t see their faces and spoke cheerfully.

Cory held the edge of his hood while answering.

“W-we’re heading to the Confederation…”

“Uh… well…”

“Where exactly?”

“Ah, I see. avalanche A couple of drifters without a destination.”

The driver pointed to the back of the cart.
