Chapter 755: The Prince Was Attacked

The Kingdom of Larvid was located in the northeast part of the Kingdom of St . Ellis . It was right next to the Kingdom of St . Ellis . Due to its location, it’s always been a great tourist attraction for many noblemen .

Bahu Valley was one of the most aesthetically-pleasing locations in the duchy of Larvid . The Kingdom of St . Ellis’s royalties spent their time there during vacation, and it was where they built their own castle to spend their holidays .

Prince Horace was King Ambrose’s favorite son . He wasn’t as healthy as his brother Derek, but his weakness made the other princes like him . As someone who was guaranteed to not inherit the throne, the others didn’t think of him as a threat or someone to become enemies with . Of course, it was especially true for Derek . He was the eldest prince, and he had a lot of affection for his sickly little brother .

Right now, Prince Horace was inside the castle at Bahu Valley . Winter was coming . As expected, he had to lie on a bed due to his frail body . Even the wizards couldn’t do much about it . Potions were all that expensive for a prince, but the side effects were simply too strong to take .

Most of the potions that were brewed on the Holy Continent were brewed by knights and wizards . Potions were usually for sale, but there were plenty of times when they were used for self-protection . Wizards that didn’t have a strong physical build would use potions that would make their power of the Will many times stronger than most normal people .

Anyways, Prince Horace was sent to this place to heal his sickness . It was quiet . The view was great . All the medical facilities were available . There was also a head knight commander that was always watching out for his safety . His name was Dunmore, a powerful head knight commander that used the element of ice .

Only the most beloved princes would have head knight commanders as their personal guards in all three of the existing Kingdoms . Usually, only two kinds would fit such criteria . There would be the princes that would inherit the throne or those who proved themselves to be capable of becoming wizards . Prince Horace was a special case . He was someone that had been loved by the people around him, and Head Commander Dunmore had been with him for years .

Head Commander Dunmore spoke, “Pardon me, you Highness, but the temperature here is too low . It’s much warmer in your room . ”

Prince Horace pleaded, “Please, Dunmore, I’m not going to be sick! The worst I can get is a little more hungry . ”

Head Commander Dunmore couldn’t help but shake his head at that remark . Prince Horace was just starting to become better . He had been shut in his room for too long before, so he was really desperate for the outside .

Head Commander Dunmore tried to be gentle, “Ok, your Highness . A little longer, then . Just a little longer . ”

Prince Horace responded with a warm smile . He liked the air that was coming from outside . It was warm inside the castle, but it was the kind of warmth that felt dead to him . He liked the cold . He couldn’t survive if he was out in the cold for too long, but the cold made him feel alive .

“So is it him?”

The voice came from high in the sky . It was an intermediate orc priest . He was speaking to another intermediate orc priests, and they were both riding on their own sky sparrow .

Actually, it wasn’t just them . There were also four bearmen that had double axes in their hands . They were riding on top of giant bears, which was enough to classify them as a small army . Their skills were not yet the same as that of top-level warriors . However, If the people who sent them decided to send someone better, that would draw too much attention into the scene .

Put it this way . If a top-level orc warrior was to appear within a human territory, it was obviously going to cause a huge panic . That’s when the head knight commanders must interfere . It’d be very easy for them to detect the presence of any incoming orc warriors, so for the orcs, they just wouldn’t cross the borders the vast majority of the time .

It was different for bear-men, however . They did not have the ability to produce combat qi, but their bodies would become extremely durable and extremely powerful once they reached adulthood . This way, they had the potential to become top-level warriors that could not produce any combat qi . For invading into the human world, such a trait has proven to be very convenient .

For the intermediate wizards that were in the sky, it also wouldn’t be an easy job to detect their presence . It was one thing to be a powerful wizard, but it was another thing to be within the intermediate rank . That being said, the advanced wizards that the humans prepared would not be able to detect those who were not matched in terms of their power level .

The intermediate priest said coldly, “Ready for action . ”

“Yes,” the four bearmen replied .

“Good . Remember what our objective is . If any of your can’t control your bloodlust once we’re there, then our master will be very angry . ”

“Understood,” the bearmen replied again .

The intermediate priest raised his command sign, “Sky sparrow! I want you to lower our altitude . ”

With that command, the sky sparrow did a barrel roll in the sky and rushed towards the castle below .

“Enemy strike!”

The shouting came from Head Commander Dunmore . He wanted to tell Prince Horace to go back to his room, and when he looked towards the sky, his reflex told him to call his men .

Within an instant, Head Commander Dunmore activated the combat qi around him . It was like thunder that had struck the entire castle . Everyone nearby was shocked by this phenomenon . Then, with one hand, he grabbed onto Prince Horace’s body . He carried Prince Horace with as much speed as he could .

Head Commander Dunmore darted backward, but a “bone wall” blocked him from going too far . He couldn’t get to his weapons . He couldn’t get to his warhorse, either . With Prince Horace in one of his arms, he could only fight with one hand .

As a white combat qi flashed across the knight’s big sword in his hand, he slashed hard at the bone wall that was blocking in his way . At the same time, a cloud of curses appeared right on top of his head . Red rain of curse started pouring on top of him, which made light of curse appear on both his and Prince Horace’s heads .

Head Commander Dunmore squinted his eyes in pain, “Those damn priests and their curses!”

He was an experienced fighter . He had fought orc priests many times . He understood how curses worked, and since he was a defensive knight, he would always make sure that there was time for him to make a counterattack . It was the reason that he wasn’t completely affected by the curses that were cast on him . Yet, if he couldn’t attack the “bone wall,” that meant he couldn’t go inside the fort and gain any sort of geographic advantage .

Head Commander Dunmore pushed Prince Horace to his back, “Your Highness! Please, stand behind me . This way, as long as I don’t die, you won’t take any sort of damage . ”

After saying that, he took down the shield that he placed on his back . He and Prince Horace now had their backs against the fort wall . It was at this time that the giant sky sparrows appeared .

The first to jump down were the bearmen . They all rode their giant bears down, and as soon as they landed, they started charging straight at Head Commander Dunmore . To guard against this, Head Commander Dunmore generated ice on the shield that he was holding at his front . The further he extended, the more he and Prince Horace were hidden behind a wall of ice .

Unlike normal bearmen, the bearmen with double axes were extremely strong strengths . Instead of relying on fighting techniques, they used brute force to break through whatever defense that their enemies had set up .

This time, they were using the axes to cut at the ice walls . It was not very effective, however . Every time they chipped a bit away, Head Commander Dunmore would just spawn more ice at the exact same spot .
