Chapter 1: Hero's Short Agony


"Finally the Earth Palace!"

"The Hermes Guild has arrived to conquer the north."

"It is the end for Weed the God of War. As of today, the Haven Empire will destroy the Arpen Kingdom and unite the continent."

The Hermes Guild users in the north found it difficult to suppress the excitement welling in their chest.

The largest elite troops ever mobilized had marched to the north. They had successfully won against the northern users and were now prepared to take Weed's neck. Of course, the thorough destruction of the Earth Palace was just a bonus!

The sky island of Lavias floating in the sky was spectacular and they might also be able to conquer it today.

'I will show how the strong will thoroughly trample on the weak.'

'The Earth Palace is ugly. Building it on the mountain peaks is a quirky idea but aren't there many treasures of the north gathered? Looting the palace of another kingdom will give me joy. I can increase my loot. I absolutely can't fall behind others.'

'Huhuhu, they will be swept away from the charge of the knights. I'll certainly appear on the broadcast.'

'The barbaric magic skills of the north won't be able to stop us. They will be wiped out by the magic of the wind. How can barbaric people like them withstand the wind magic? It signals the presence of a big name.'

'Unfortunately the deputy died but I will retaliate today.'

The Hermes Guild users were proud of their bravery and armed forces.

Despite the north being a great attraction of Royal Road, it was just at a frontier level compared to the Brent and Rosenheim Kingdoms. Most of the users were weak and wore humble equipment.

Weapons and techniques were all part of an individual's combat power. So far, the fighting in the north gave them the impression that there were only many novice users. A weak enemy that would lose under a show of force!

Today's final battle would be broadcasted live so the Hermes Guild users were excited.

-Presently the army's morale is high. They've completely forgotten about the disaster experienced at Alkazar Bridge.

-The 2nd corps will guide the siege weapons.

-The leader of each knight division should move along the planned path in response to an assault. Individual behaviour isn't allowed for a knight.

-Strengthen the communication between the knight divisions in order to show our grandeur in the war.

The commanders used the Hermes Guild's communication channel to hand out orders.

The scale of the war meant it was important to check if the commands were performed perfectly.

The knights of the Haven Empire were familiar with different assault methods, formations and methods to divert attacks.

'This fight will be too easy... It will be our victory even if no one exactly follows the orders.'

The northern users could only swarm like flies while the Haven Empire's army used group tactics. The leaders of the Hermes Guild also joined the communication channel of the commanders.

It was possible to watch the battle scenes on the broadcast and they couldn't interfere with the front-line commanders. But after the battle, there would be a review of the commanders based on their achievements.
