Academy's Second Seat [part 2 Complete]

Chapter 292: Completion (13)

"Attack!!!"

Rie, at the rear of the rebels, shouted to the soldiers.

As she shouted, she wondered,

'Is this really okay?'

Originally, Rie's role was to encircle the enemy completely.

When the rebels failed to break through the canyon ahead, they planned to capture all the fleeing enemies.

Though the order was issued a bit early, capturing all those troops seemed like a tough task.

"We'll have to reduce their forces as much as possible,"

Rie said, looking at Locke beside her.

"Understood. Let's do that,"

Locke replied, then dashed forward, running faster than the soldiers and shouting,

"For the Empire's eternal glory!"

"Glory!"

Locke led the troops, boosting their morale.

Thus, the northern soldiers collided with the rebel troops.

"Argh!"

"Block them!"

The rebel soldiers shouted, trying to stop them, but the northern soldiers' strength was overwhelming.

Ordinary soldiers fought like knights, each against three or four enemies.

"Is that the level of a soldier?"

"It's magic tools! They're equipped with magic tools!"

The reason for their strength was precisely the magic tools.

The magic tools provided by the Empire's Magic Tower.

Armors engraved with strengthening magic, swords with lightening magic, and various other magic tools were at their disposal.

With the already experienced Northern Army equipped with magic tools, they became soldiers worth a hundred men each.

"Princess...!"

Seeing this, Venderwood walked towards Rie, who was standing far away.

"Capture the commanders!"

The Northern Army rushed towards Venderwood.

"Interference."

Venderwood swung his sword at the approaching soldiers.

"Argh!"

"Block!"

Even though they were equipped with magic tools, ordinary soldiers couldn't stand against Venderwood.

Locke saw the soldiers being cut down by Venderwood's sword and immediately ran towards him.

"Northern swordsmanship, Blue Blade."

A blue sword energy flew towards Venderwood.

Venderwood swung his great sword, wrapped in sword energy, cutting through the blue blade.

"...The guardian's son?"

The guardian referred to Locke's father, the guardian of the north.

Locke responded,

"I am now the guardian."

Though Locke hadn't officially inherited the Lord's position, he was virtually no different from a Lord.

He took care of the domain's affairs and was equal or superior in strength to his father.

The reason he hadn't inherited the domain was merely because he hadn't graduated from the academy yet.
