Chapter 58

Chapter 58

TL: IDevK11

Editor: Capitano

When Otto successfully instigated Duke Alex, a large-scale frontal battle plan was established.

The plan was simple.

-First, the rebel forces led by Duke Alex would recklessly advance towards the encampment of the crown princes suppression army.

-Second, the battle would commence.

-Third, the army from the Kingdom of Lota, led by Otto, would attack the rear of the crown princes suppression army.

Excellent, very excellent.

Duke Alex was greatly satisfied with the plan.

If everything went according to plan, they would achieve a great victory in the battle, and then Duke Alex would ascend to the throne.

There was no better scenario than this, as long as it unfolded according to Duke Alexs intentions.

We will initiate the operation in one week.

Yes, Your Grace.

.

.

.

One week later.

Forward, all troops!

The rebel forces, consisting of over 20,000 soldiers led by Duke Alex, began to advance towards the location where the crown princes army was stationed.

Meanwhile, Otto returned to the place where the crown princes army was stationed, as he had promised Duke Alex. Following him were 5,000 soldiers from the Kingdom of Lota.

[Lad, whats the plan now?]

Kairos asked Otto.

(Well just have to watch when the battle begins.)

[Hmm?]

(When Duke Alex and the crown prince face off, theyll fight fiercely against each other, wont they?)

[Are you planning to sneak up on them all at once? Both of them?]

(Thats right.)

(Tsk.)

Kairos clicked his tongue.

[How can you be so treacherous?]

(Huh?)

[Just saying.]

(Thanks.)

[What?]

(I said, thanks.)

[Did you consider that a praise?]

(Being called treacherous is a good thing. Its not a bad thing. How else can you survive in this harsh world, being all kind-hearted?)

[Nonsense!]

Kairos exploded in anger.

[Strength! Absolute power! Crushing all enemies with overwhelming force! If you have that]

(Is that how you get betrayed by Aragon? Hit from behind?)

[Th-Thats]

Kairos was momentarily speechless, unable to utter a word.

(If you had achieved absolute power, like you said, enough to defeat all enemies, then even getting hit from behind wouldnt faze you.)

[.]

(What youre talking about is an ideal. The way I do things is reality. Of course, I dont want to become strong like that either. Its just that for now, because Im weak, I have no choice but to resort to these methods. And by doing so)

[.?]

(Fewer of our soldiers will die.)

[Umm!]

(I give the orders, but its the soldiers who fight and die. So, I have a duty to devise a plan to ensure that at least one fewer soldier dies, right?)

[Now that I think about it, your words are right.]

Kairos, as if realizing something from Ottos words, willingly acknowledged it.

[You have short-sighted thinking. Perhaps you might make a better ruler than me.]

(Huh?)

[There was a time when even I had thoughts similar to yours]

In Kairos voice as he spoke like that, there was a hint of regret from his past life, making it sound bitter somehow.

(Whats the point of regretting now? Just do well from now on.)

[Hmm?]

(When you obtain a body suitable for you, youll live a new life. Just do well then.)

[A new life]

(Its not all about revenge, is it? What will you do after taking revenge? What will you do then?)

[I.. havent thought about it yet.]

(Then start thinking about it now. After accomplished your revenge against the descendant of Emperor Aragon, what will you do with your life?)

[What will I do with my life]

Unconsciously, Otto threw a question about the meaning of life at Kairos, without even realizing it, as he gazed into the distance towards the battlefield.

Advance!

Charge, everyone!

At that moment, rebel forces led by Duke Alex were charging at a terrifying speed towards the defense line established by the crown princes army.

The soulful clash, which would decorate the grand finale of the civil war in the Kingdom of Roshan, had begun.

He shouted in anger, but his voice could not reach Duke Alex, who was far away.

Meanwhile

Aaargh!

Ack!

Help, please!

The overwhelming army of Lota began mercilessly slaughtering the soldiers of the suppression army as they came into contact.

Ah

Upon witnessing the grim scene, the crown prince lost his will to fight and let his sword hang limp.

But then, a peculiar sight unfolded.

Aaargh!

The army of Lota, which had shattered the camp of the suppression army led by the crown prince, began slaughtering the rebel soldiers as well.

W-what the heck is going on?

The crown prince, unable to grasp the situation, looked around in confusion.

Why is Iota attacking the rebel forces?

If that were the case

Ah.

The crown prince finally realized.

Iota Kingdom had not taken sides with either the rebel forces or the suppression army.

The rebel forces and the suppression army were like fighting fish, while Iota Kingdom was the fisherman watching from behind with a satisfied smile.

Failing to prevent a thief from entering while fighting among ourselves

As the crown prince sighed, the battle took a turn.

Aaargh!

Retreat! Retreat!

Please Aaargh!

The army of Lota indiscriminately slaughtered both the rebel forces and the suppression army, claiming the victory of this battle as their own.

***

The combat capabilities of the Iota Kingdoms army were truly exceptional.

They possessed robust physical strength.

A deep understanding of tactics.

Heightened morale.

On top of that, even the low-ranking soldiers were capable of manipulating mana, a feat that even formidable nations couldnt fathom.

So, it was only natural that the combat prowess of the Iota Kingdoms army was remarkable.

Hahaha!

Weakling Roshan fools! Where do you think youre running?

Wipe them all out!

The Iota Kingdoms army swept through their enemies as if releasing wild beasts into a flock of sheep, proudly displaying the combat prowess they had honed.

Ah, they really fight well.

Otto watched the Iota Kingdoms army with a sense of satisfaction, smiling as if pleased.

Do you find it so enjoyable?

Of course, isnt it? Our army fights so well, dont you think?

I agree.

Camille smiled, truly a rare sight.

The soldiers who were once mediocre had grown to such an extent It was unimaginable during a time when the Iota Kingdom was nothing more than a tiny rural territory.

Lets go.

Otto spoke and took a step forward.

Lets lead the soldiers to the battlefield instead of idling behind.

Of course.

With Camille by his side, Otto charged onto the battlefield, proving his own strength as he thrashed about like a fish in water.

[Notification: Experience gained!]

[Notification: Experience gained!]

[Notification: Experience gained!]

As a result, his experience increased.

[Notification: Level 89 reached!]

[Notification: Level 90 reached!]

His level increased as well.

[Notification: Unlocked!]

[Notification: Reached level 90 and unlocked the skill Petrification Eye!]

And then, at that moment.

Die!

How dare a scavenger like you from Iota!

At that moment, three knights from the rebel forces charged at Otto.

At the same time, a grayish glow emanated from Ottos eyes.

As a result

My, my body Ugh!

Why are my legs?

Ugh!

The bodies of the knights exposed to the grayish glow began to turn into stone and stiffen.

In other words, as the skills name suggested, they were petrified.
