151 The Prince

Asai and his now 4000 strong army continued to march towards the mid-front. At their current rate, it would only take them another hour as the men were rested and fed. Morale was high as the fresh three thousand were eager to prove themselves in battle.

The only obstacle left was Crea's Bridge. As the river here was closer to the sea. The flow of water was far too deep for the humans to cross.

Encroaching upon the large bridge. That was big enough for 4 carriages to drive past together. They found the other end of the bridge to be blocked by an Elven shield wall. Their longsword poking out between the gaps, eager to enter human flesh. Asai was about to send Robin to nuke them out of existence with [All in One] but one knight slipped through the shield wall and casually stood within the middle.

In his hand was the flag of Del Lagos. However, his armour was clearly of elven design. Freshly made too it seems, as the metal appeared pristine.

"COUNT ASAI TRICHIA. REMEMBER ME!?" The knight shouted. His helmet, blocking the system. "His voice sounds kind of familiar?" Asai looked towards Robin, she also felt the same. A frown apparent over her forehead.

"Robin, if they do anything funny. Kill them all without hesitation. I'm going to see what our little friend over there wants." Robin nodded, preparing herself, allowing her mana to gently course through her daggers. Benny and Count Jenson De Lion prepared the knights, forming their lines in preparation in case the order to attack was voiced.

Asai entered the bridge alone.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Two golden fangs appeared within his hands."

"I am the second prince, Arthur Del Lagos. And what I want is simple." He raised his two blades upwards. Pointing their sharp edges at Asai. "I want your head." "What the fuck? What did I do to get on this guy's bad side? Did I steal his girl?"

"You don't have to answer this but, can you tell me why? I'm just curious." The guy nodded. 

"It's simple. Her majesty queen Rima Regenon has promised me the Del Lagos throne if I assist her here. I will finally obtain what's rightfully mine. The throne, and also an alliance with the kingdom of Via Marea.

Thus, ensuring the safety, peace and prosperity of my people. Asai, forfeit yourself. Do this for the people of Del Lagos. Think about the lives you can save by sacrificing just one, just yours! I promise you. I will write your name down in history as the hero who sacrificed himself for the greater good!" "Wow, this guy is really fucking talkative. I guess he still suffers from that hero-complex shit."

"Nah. I'm good thanks. It was nice seeing you again though."

"Don't say I didn't try! Your name will go down in history as the villain who desired the deaths of many! You fucking murderer!" Arthur immediately charged forward, lunging with both blades like a viper would to strike its prey. "Did this guy not learn anything from the last time we fought!?"

[DEATH CALL] 

Expecting the man to be paralyzed and thrown towards him by the will of mana, Asai prepared to deliver his bread and butter nuke. "I'm sorry bro, you were fun to hang around with, but you joined the wrong side-"

Asai threw himself towards the side, as the man didn't stop at all. Rather, it seemed Arthur utilized the mana pull to actually increase his own velocity. "The Fuck!? Oh right! This is the cheating mother fucker who's over geared!" 

Asai slipped into [Hide] flanking Arthur's side and dropping his skill

[ANNIHILATE] 

A glimmer of silver illuminated Arthur's eyes as the man bought both swords into a cross-block.

Asai bounced back before any retaliation could be done. Noticing the Elves behind him, eager to impale him with the blades. He secured the arena with 

[Sealing Square]

"Now it's just me and you fucker!"
