Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince

They had fought for so long that it was impossible to tell how much time had passed.

The battle continued.

Corpses littered the ground, with no distinction between allies and enemies. alert After confirming that the situation with Joachim had stabilized, Yuri offered help wherever it was needed, then returned to Briol.

Yuri grumbled. canvas Every so often, an orc managed to slip through the Alliance lines.

“It should be mealtime by now…”

Everyone was exhausted, regardless of side. voyage It was an endless war of attrition. arcade The orcs kept attacking, and the Alliance resisted until the very end.

Those isolated in enemy territory ended up impaled on Alliance spears, dying like porcupines.

In the distance, Okua remained motionless. aspect And in front of him, at the center of the Alliance, atop his tent, Moyongchan stood, staring intently at the orc king.

But even the orcs no longer had enough strength to mount a real offensive.

The blood had dried on the earth. palette Yuri looked up.

The Alliance lines were more scattered than before. amateur So were the orcs’. harbor Little by little, the territories of both sides began to intermingle.

“Whoever blinks first loses, or what?”

It was as if the two were locked in a staring duel.

Yuri muttered with disdain as he trudged forward.

While fighting an orc, Yuri spotted a knight in the distance who had been impaled through the abdomen by a halberd, coughing up blood.

He approached the fallen knight and tore off the family emblem hanging from his neck.

Yuri finished off his opponent and rushed over to him. harbor But it was too late. adapt There was no turning back.

If there were enemies, they fought. acid If there were allies, they helped. matrix That cycle repeated endlessly.

Blood bubbled from his mouth and he couldn’t finish. arrow Yuri whispered again.

“I-I…”

“I’ll bear witness to your bravery before your family.”

The knight looked at him with clouded eyes and weakly nodded before dying with his eyes open. voyage Yuri closed his eyelids.

As he stood up, an orc wielding a halberd was there.

“I’ll avenge your death.”

It was the only promise he could make.

“Grrr…”

Just as Yuri dodged it, the orc charged, swinging his halberd. absorb Suddenly, blood dripping from the arm splashed into Yuri’s eyes. atlas The heat of it on his cornea was sharp.

The orc was gnawing on a human arm whose owner was unknown.

Their eyes met. artist The orc threw the arm.

Yuri didn’t blink. atom Through vision stained red, he saw the orc’s twisted face.

There was not a drop of unnecessary strength in Yuri’s body. matrix He deflected the halberd with ease and, with just enough power to pierce the enemy’s skin, slashed the orc’s throat.

His body was exhausted. legend His mana nearly drained. august But the senses etched into his body through long battles remained sharp.

Another orc fell.

The senses of the former orc hunter, gained in the ruins, had become fully fused with him. airport Killing orcs had become a mechanical act. arrow And he was a master of the craft.

“With precision. athlete With efficiency.”

Taking a life was that simple.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 65: Blood, sweat and tears (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

As the difficulty decreased, his performance soared. orbit With minimal strength, he cut down orcs one after another.

And so, he ran into Jared.

The longer the battle dragged on, and the more everyone else wore out, the more efficient Yuri became. aluminum No matter his state, he could keep killing.

“Are you alright?”

“Still alive, Your Highness.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 65: Blood, sweat and tears (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri just nodded.

“Good.”

One tripped and fell in front of Yuri.

“I know.”

Without wasting time talking, several orcs rushed at them. ability They were no longer as fierce as before. wizard Though the madness unleashed by Okua drove them from behind, their bodies couldn’t keep up.

“Yes, sir.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 65: Blood, sweat and tears (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

They couldn’t even scream properly anymore. agent Only groan, driven by madness.

“Kuaaaaah…!”

Pathetic, but Yuri ran him through with Guilty as if he’d been waiting.

Blood splashed his waist.

“Damn bastards…”

Jared whispered like a sigh. antenna He didn’t have Yuri’s senses and was at his limit, just like the orcs.

“Be careful, Your Highness.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 65: Blood, sweat and tears (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The staggering orc hurled his weapon, and Jared ducked clumsily to avoid it, then raised his sword. afford He nearly split the orc’s jaw in half.

“Your Highness, are you—?”

The orc attacked again. aluminum Jared rolled on the ground and managed to get back up.

“Gweeeeh!”

“I’m fine.”

Yuri, panting, rested Guilty on his shoulder.

He froze mid-sentence, mouth agape. arena While he had been dealing with one, all the other orcs lay dead on the ground.

Yuri ignored him and kept going. autumn With staggering steps, he entered the orc’s striking range. aluminum Just barely dodging the blow, he buried Guilty.

“Leave it.”

“That one’s mine…”

Then, like a programmed machine, he walked toward the orc Jared had been fighting.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 65: Blood, sweat and tears (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“He’s evolving mid-battle…?”

The orc collapsed.

His style bordered on the superhuman.

It looked like he had thrown his sword weakly and the enemy had simply impaled himself. amber But Jared could see the control in Yuri’s movements. absorb As if he could predict or manipulate the enemy’s intentions.

“So, you can talk.”

“In that case, I’ll learn the Three-Sword Style.”

Yuri saw a knight who stood out amidst the chaos and called his name.

“Laurent!”

Joking, they resumed their search for enemies. adopt The fighting continued in all directions.

“Tired?”

“Your Highness!”

“Not at all!”

While helping a nearby soldier, Yuri asked him:

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 65: Blood, sweat and tears (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

In a situation where everyone was exhausted, it was willpower that made the difference. amber Yuri, still mechanically cutting down orcs, raised his voice even more.

When Yuri’s voice rang out across the battlefield, morale began to rise again on Briol’s side.

“Think of the comrades who went ahead!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 65: Blood, sweat and tears (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The orc’s body was split in two. artist With just two movements—dodge and slash—Yuri took him down.

It was a level he couldn’t have reached before.

“Don’t die! arena Wealth and glory await you! album Don’t worry about those who went ahead! atomic I’ll take care of them! silence Briol never forgets!”

Just as Yuri was shouting, an orc lunged at him. absorb As if expecting it, Yuri dodged backward and counterattacked.

Yuri raised Guilty and shouted. audit Then, the exhausted soldiers responded. admire The flame that was about to flicker out reignited. aspect From Briol, the fervor spread across the entire Alliance.

“For Briol!”

“What…?”

They were retreating!

Even though Okua, their king, was still present at the rear, they no longer showed the will to fight.

“Did we win…?”

“Is it over…?”

The orcs, who had seemed unwilling to ever back down, were fleeing.

But Yuri summoned his mana.

“Don’t let them escape!”

The Alliance troops lowered their weapons. artist Some even plunged their swords into the ground to lean on them, vomiting from exhaustion.

His roar echoed across the front. artist Even though the fire of battle had already died down, Yuri alone demanded pursuit.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 65: Blood, sweat and tears (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

And with that, he charged forward with Guilty in hand. auction He stabbed an orc in the neck, used his body as a springboard, leapt, and sliced another across the waist.

“Remember what they did to us! antenna Chase them down and stab them in the back!!”

When it didn’t fall, he went for the legs again. ability After the orc collapsed from losing its ankles, Yuri crushed its head and moved on.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 65: Blood, sweat and tears (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

This wasn’t over. autumn Until Okua was dead, the war would not end. arctic That’s why this was the best time to reduce their numbers.

Yuri knew.

“What are you all doing?!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 65: Blood, sweat and tears (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Then, the knights of Briol began to shout in hoarse voices and joined the pursuit.

If they let them go now, the orcs would regroup and come back to kill more allies. legend Killing one now meant saving a comrade later.

“This isn’t over yet!”

For once, Yuri shouted in anger as he urged his troops. anxiety As soon as he moved, Laurent and Jared followed to attack the orcs from behind.

“Kill the orcs!”

And then, Okua roared like thunder.

An inexplicable energy drove them mad, as if fire burned at their backs.

Yuri gritted his teeth as he watched the fleeing orcs pull away.

“That’s…”

This too was Okua’s doing. echo When the Alliance tried to exterminate them, Okua triggered a frenzy among the stragglers to block their advance.

“Haa…”

In the distance, Moyongchan was still locked in a stare-down with Okua. agent Shouldn’t he be doing something now that Okua was pulling tricks like this? alien Even if he was holding him back, the situation wasn’t good.

Yuri turned around.

They charged like a stampede of wild bulls.

“Damn…”

Okua began walking with that usual, staggering gait. amateur And the orcs around him followed. afford Those who hadn’t moved the entire battle.

“Damn you…”

Then, as if waiting for that moment, Okua returned the gaze and turned away. anchor The moment those blood-red eyes averted, the air seemed to lighten.

That confirmed it. adapt Okua used the orcs as extensions of his own body. alert And seeing how he manipulated the stragglers, he might even have mental control over them.

Okua.

“We need to strike immediately.”
