Chapter 756: Rescue

“Find the teleportation circle . Quick! Destroy it as soon as you find it!”

The leading intermediate priest said so to another, who immediately called out eight skeletons to help him with the task . When he did so, the bone wall blocking Head Commander Dunmore’s way suddenly disappeared . The eight skeletons made their way into the castle, but the intermediate priest just stood in silence as he watched outside .

Prince Horace asked while trembling, “Do they want to capture me alive?”

“I don’t know, your Highness,” Head Commander Dunmore tried to comfort him, “Don’t worry, though . Help is on the way . ”

As Head Commander Dunmore would have it, if the intermediate priest joined this battle, he might just last for even less than a minute . Still, it was just the four bearmen that were attacking him . They weren’t even using their full strength . It was like they were just trying to make him use up all his combat qi .

Prince Horace commanded, “Give me a dagger, Dunmore . ”

“Your Highness!” Head Commander Dunmore called back . He couldn’t turn his head back to look at Prince Horace, but he could sense the sharpness in the voice that he was hearing .

“I am the prince of the Kingdom of St . Ellis . I should give back to the state that has given me so much . I am weak, and I cannot attain any sort of glory for anyone . What I can do is to not let the orcs capture me alive . ”

Head Commander Dunmore understood, “Your Highness . There is a short sword at my right waist . It’s the final honor for a knight . ”

A knight’s final honor was as its name suggested . It was a blade that the humans used when they were captured in battle . Knights weren’t supposed to commit suicide during combats with other humans, but against orcs, it was supposed to be a fight to the very end .

Prince Horace had the blade in front of his heart, “I shall call this the final honor of a prince, then . ”

Head Commander Dunmore screamed, “Your Highness, stop! The humans will have their revenge soon . The Kingdom of St . Ellis will respond with fires of rage!”

Unlike the battle on the fort platform, what was going on inside the castle was a complete massacre . A fort was supposed to be the ideal location for defensive warfare, but things would only start to get bloody once the enemies were inside . It was exactly this situation now . One intermediate priest was going in with eight of his skeletons, and the strongest fight force that the humans had were knight commanders .

The skeletons continued to slash at every human that they saw . In their hollow eyes, blue flames would jump every time a swing was made . Every time the flames jumped, lives would be lost . Still, the royalties of the Kingdom of St . Ellis managed to retain their honor at a time like this . None of the warriors had retreated during this cruel assault . The knights would continue to charge at the intermediate priest, and they would just fall as they got closer .

“You are a laughable bunch,” the intermediate priest spoke as his face jerked a little .

With a wave of the bone staff in his right hand, a spell rune appeared at where the intermediate priest was drawing . After that, all the corpses of the knights started flashing red lights . Explosions were ignited . Everyone closeby was buried in the bursting air .

The intermediate priest took out a smaller spell circle from his portal bag . It was supposed to help him locate the teleportation circle that was in this castle . After he found it, he commanded his skeletons to charge towards it .

“Bahu Castle has been attacked . I repeat, Bahu Castle has been attacked . Prince Horace is in danger . The orcs are attacking . Please send reinforcements over here . ”

The cry for help came from the castle butler . He was calling directly to the Kingdom of St . Ellis for help . Apart from him, there was just Prince Horace and Head Commander Dunmore, who had the right to use the call service .

An intermediate priest suddenly appeared, “So you’ve called for help . It is time for you to die, then . ”

The butler screamed with a pale look, “Did you just bait me?”

They nodded, “Why, of course . You think I waited because, what, the castle is too tough for me to breakthrough?”

With a wave of his hand, the intermediate priest commanded the skeletons to charge at the butler . The butler had no choice but to watch his neck being snapped into half . After that, his body was slammed heavily towards the ground . The other skeletons charged towards the teleportation circle, and the weapons in their hands were slashed at the spell rune that was drawn on the ground .

One of the knights rushed into the eldest prince’s office .

“Your Highness! Bahu Valley has just requested reinforcement! The orcs are attacking Prince Horace!”

“Horace?” Prince Derek quickly changed his expression, “Has help been sent yet?”

The knight replied with a bow, “Connection of the teleportation circle has been cut off . The orcs might have destroyed it . I have already called for support from the closest city, but it should take at least three hours before they can make it . ”

“Understood . I’ll go see his majesty right away . ”

Prince Derek headed towards where Emperor Ambrose was at . He knew it very clearly . The only ones who could help were intermediate wizards and the griffin knights, but he didn’t have the power to command either . The only thing he could do was to request from the supreme leader of the nation .

“What’s wrong? Why are you so anxious?”

Emperor Ambrose was doing paperwork when Prince Derek came to him . He was confused with this interruption, and he was slightly discontent with the way Prince Derek was so abrupt .

Prince Derek quickly gave a bow, “Your Majesty, Horace… he’s been attacked by the orcs!”

That’s when the pen in Emperor Ambrose’s hand snapped . Prince Horace had always been his most cherished son . The child was weak ever since he was born . If he didn’t use to hold him in his arms all the time during infantry, it’d be very hard for him to make it to this age .

In anger and anxiety, Emperor Ambrose called for help from both the griffin knights and the wizards . He had a secret messenger to relay the message for him, so the word could be spread out as soon as possible .

Very quickly, at one corner of the royal palace, ten knights flew towards the sky and flew towards Bahu Valley . Among the ten of them, four were head knight commanders while the rest were at the peak level of being knight commanders . With their aerial advantage, they could take on more than ten head knight commanders all at once .

They were very fast . The duchy of Larvid was located right next to the Kingdom of St . Ellis . It should take less than an hour for them to reach Bahu Valley . Of course, they were only the first squad . More would follow from branches other than the inner part of the royal palace .
