Chapter 758: Honor

On each of the three sky sparrows, there would be a vulpera to check on the Griffins that were captured .

“Three males and seven females, Master!”

Once each was checked, the results were all sent to a Bearman together . The Bearman used his loud voice to repeat the same message to an intermediate priest .

The leading intermediate priest said joyfully, “The beastly god blesses us . We’ll head home now . ”

The rest of the crew all screamed in excitement . They were finally allowed to go home . This was a very risky mission for them . Treading into the human world was nothing short of risking their lives . Besides, the objective of the mission was to attack the Griffin knight squad, which was supposed to be the strongest air force in one of the three existing human empires . If just one advanced priest managed to find them, they would’ve all been killed within an instance .

Once the crew finished packing up, the ten pace eagles returned to the back of the sky sparrows . They were supposed to be agile creatures, but the trip home was long and tiring . Long-distance travel was something for the sky sparrows to do . The orcs wanted to conserve the pace eagles’ stamina in case the humans were chasing after them .

While checking for the right direction, the intermediate orc priests jumped down from his pace eagle to the back of a sky sparrow . He took out a circle plate, activated it, and started sending messages to his fellow soldier that was somewhere else . That someone was at the platform over at Bahu Castle . When he opened his own circle plate, he could see a text that read, “We’ve killed them all . The mission is complete . ”

“They’ve been killed! Our mission is completed!”

The intermediate orc priests shouted towards the four bearmen that were attacking Head Commander Dunmore . They were all very pleased with this news . While shouting all at the same time, their eyes started to become bloodshot . With every swing of their axes, they could smash out giant holes out of the ice wall generated in front of them .

Head Commander Dunmore cried to Prince Horace, “Your Highness, it’s been my greatest honor to have ever served you . ”

The orcs were going on full strength . Head Commander Dunmore knew as much . His defense was enough to block the attack of two orcs . If he decided to go for a final push, he could probably manage to block against three, but that would still leave one to attack him and Prince Horace . He was at his limit now . There wasn’t much he could do after spending so much of his combat qi .

“My honor is my life!”

Head Commander Dunmore had no choice but to scream louder . It was a cry of desperation, which activated the fire qi hidden inside of him for his entire life . He had never used fire element combat qi before . If he was a little luckier, he might get the time to become a double-element head knight commander properly .

It was truly an unfortunate thing . Fire combat qi and ice combat qi were supposed to counter each other . Head Commander Dunmore was using both, and it completely disrupted the vital system inside of his body . All of his energy burst out uncontrollably, like fire on oil . He couldn’t even protect himself, let alone the prince that was behind him . The only thing he could do, so it seemed, was to use his shield to cover up Prince Horace .

Head Commander Dunmore focused his power of the Will to his front . He was a guardian knight, and his mission was to protect Prince Horace at all costs . Once he was too tired to fend on any longer, he was left with no choice but to withdraw his shield .

When the ice wall disappeared, the four bearmen warriors were left with a giant gap in front of them . Head Commander Dunmore was finally in their sight, and they quickly slashed towards him . Yet, something felt strange to them . They couldn’t sense the energy that was erupting inside the human they were attacking, but death, as they sensed, was very close .

The four bearmen wanted to retreat, but as experienced warriors themselves, they didn’t think that it was right to hold back a powerful attack that was already launched . Thus, they decided to press on . That’s when Head Commander Dunmore did the unthinkable . He threw his sword at the intermediate priest, and without any weapon, he ran towards the four bearmen that were going at him .

“Go to hell with me, you filthy animals!”

As though going for a hug, Head Commander Dunmore opened his arms and ran right towards the four bearmen warriors . When he was halfway, his body finally couldn’t take the energy that was bursting out of himself . Even his armor couldn’t withstand the impact of the explosion . Like blades, fragments of what he was wearing shot towards all directions . The bearmen were the first to notice the danger, but the giant bears they were riding were not fast enough to react .

And like that, the four bearmen were shot and sent flying towards the outside . It was the same for their mounts . They were all thrown away like toys . The platform was supposed to be a high altitude platform . It was about several tens of meters for the bearmen warriors to fall from the top . There was no chance they would survive this .

The intermediate orc priest had no idea that this would happen . Still, his “white bone armor” was powerful enough to block against the knight’s big sword and the shattered armor fragments that were coming at him . It was the explosion that he had a problem guarding . Even when he was just at the castle’s outer brim, he was still forced to take a few steps back .

Almost all the intermediate priests that participated this time were experienced soldiers . Instead of giving up, this one particular orc priest quickly summoned a skeleton before he was about to fall . This was a critical decision that saved his life . The skeleton took some of the shock waves for him and prevented him from going towards the very edge of the castle . When he was really about to fall, the skeleton grabbed his arm and threw him towards the sky .

As the intermediate priest was in midair, he took the sky sparrow control card and summoned his sky sparrow to catch him in time . The fall didn’t happen . Once the sky sparrow retrieved him, the sour look on his face was starting to look even worse . The skeleton he summoned was smashed into ashes, which damaged his power of the Will .

The intermediate orc priest stared at Prince Horace . Prince Horace was still under the protection of the shield . There was a dagger on his body . Blood kept on pouring out of him . At the same time, a window nearby was smashed open as another intermediate priest jumped out . A sky sparrow also caught him, and they both flew towards a higher altitude .

On the platform, Head Commander Dunmore’s shield was completely broken into pieces . Due to the impact of the shockwave, the dagger plunged into Prince Horace’s body . It didn’t go straight into his heart, but it did manage to do some very serious damage to him . As someone who had never been physical, he was very close to losing his own life .

Nevertheless, Prince Horace could still feel things . He could feel himself getting colder and colder, and eventually, he saw a white light that was appearing next to him . It was an intermediate wizard . He probably tried to come here as fast as he could, but he did realize that it was way too late .

As Prince Horace was still found to be alive, the intermediate wizard carefully took out a healing potion and used it . He didn’t dare to take the dagger out of Prince Horace . Once the effect of the potion wore off, that was when Prince Horace would most likely die .
