I've never been in such a sorry state. Ever since I came to this world, everything I've encountered has been smooth sailing.
However, I failed today. I suffered a great defeat on my first appearance on the battlefield. Although it wasn't my fault, this failure seemed to be a mockery to me.
I definitely won't accept it!
At this time, I no longer have the cynical attitude of the past
In my heart, there is only the yearning for victory. Perhaps from this day onwards, I will truly have the conditions to become a hero.
As our Regiment Commander and the First Brigade's Commander have already died in battle,
According to the Empire's military system, I, the captain of the 2nd Battalion, became the temporary commander of this army.
Looking at the seven to eight thousand men under me, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow. The soldiers who had been chatting and laughing with us when we had set off earlier were now forever stuck in that icy cold land.
My responsibility now is to bring this precious troop back to Fabini, to their loved ones!
Our defeated army had already galloped in the dark for six hours. Just as we were about to catch our breath, we suddenly heard footsteps behind us.
Unlike the thunderous hoofbeats of our heavy cavalry, this is a very agile gait, like the footsteps of a cat.
No!
They were not cats, but wolves, the fastest wolf riders of the orcs.
The Imperial Dragon Knights are the strongest knights in the continent.
The super heavy knights of the Imperial Dragon Knights are the strongest fighting force of mankind.
However, after running at full speed for six hours without eating anything for six hours, facing thirty thousand wolf cavalry soldiers who were waiting for fatigue, all of us felt a chill run down our spines.
All eyes were focused on me. They were waiting, waiting for a decision.
I know what they are looking forward to. Even if they die, the dignity of the Royal Dragon Knights will not be tarnished.
Is this still the army I'm familiar with?
Was it a team that had high morale when they heard that there were flowers and beautiful women?
Looking at those pairs of adorable eyes, a simple order stopped in my mouth.
But I can't say it!
Thinking of the faces of Fabini's mothers, I made a decision that even I couldn't understand.
When the wolf riders charged, I ordered the entire army to retreat. The knights under me looked at me in surprise, wondering if they had heard wrongly.
The wolf riders are faster than us.
After the effect of the 'acceleration' spell wears off, we definitely won't have time to retreat.
"Retreat!"
Once again, I loudly issued an order. The well-trained soldiers cast aside their doubts.
He faithfully carried out my orders.
However, as the commander, I still didn't move. I knew that the knights still lacked some time, and I needed to create this time for them.
The troops beside me didn't move either, because their responsibility was to protect the commander. I turned around and said to my soldiers,
"You guys retreat as well. I can handle this place alone.”
Seeing that they didn't seem to be moving,
I pretended to be relaxed and said,
"Alright, you guys should leave quickly! I still have to prepare a forbidden spell. It's too powerful and will accidentally injure you. Alright, let's go. Don't distract me!”
After a moment of silence, the soldiers finally followed the main group and retreated. They had already been subdued by my two "Meteor Shower" attacks.
They probably thought I was preparing a more powerful spell.
However, what they don't know is that I can only use magic three times a day.
Today, I used Acceleration once and Meteor Shower twice.
But I think I should be able to use it once more, a spell that I have never tried before, a spell that all mages can only use once in their lifetime.
Perhaps, it was not magic, because its name was " Glory of Life ". It was self-destruction at the cost of one's life.
My goal is to become a Holy Magister.
The strongest mage in the entire continent.
It's a pity that I haven't taken any magus level exams yet
In the file, I'm a magic apprentice.
But today, I finally have the chance to cast a spell that is comparable to the power of a Saint Magus.
In front of me, countless wolf riders were charging towards me like a tide.
Fortunately, my magic element gathering speed was especially fast. I gathered the surrounding elements aimlessly.
Free wind, warm fire, gentle water, violent thunder, and even the calm earth, the rare light and darkness gathered around me.
Dozens of black balls of light shot towards me from the wolf riders, but it didn't matter. Their addition would only make my spell more perfect.
After all, what I needed now was destruction, and dark elements were the best choice.
Finally, I gathered enough elements. Now, all I could do was wait, wait for the wolf riders to approach.
At this moment, my heart was extremely calm. Familiar figures appeared in front of me one by one. Will, Kane, Long, Leon…and…Lia!”。
I don't know why the person who left the deepest impression on me at this moment wasn't my teacher, Will, but the person I've been avoiding, the Princess Lia who I thought was troublesome!
But I don't have time to think about this.
Thousands of miles away, in the center of the Tai Long Empire, in the palace of Fabeni, the usually lively Princess Lia suddenly felt a strong sense of unease.
She was woken up by a sudden clap of thunder and got out of bed. She walked to the window and looked at the dark sky.
This is the only person she thinks of in her heart
The one who accompanied her through five happy years
The knight who always wanted to find an excuse to leave her.
Princess Lia suddenly thought of those deep eyes." Xingchen, my personal knight, where are you?"
Nothing is allowed to happen to you without my orders!”
she muttered to herself.
The Wolf Riders 'faces were clearly reflected in my eyes. Their snow-white long blades seemed to be able to cut open the darkness that enveloped the earth.
I could already smell the unique scent of blood on their mounts.
The heavy hooves of the heavy knights behind me grew softer and softer. I knew that they had gone far away.
It was far beyond the range of Glory of Life.
Yes, it was time.
Goodbye, Princess Lia. Your personal knight can no longer protect you. Take good care of yourself!
I looked at the sky longingly. The eight years of my life since I was sensible were so beautiful. In order for others to enjoy life as well as me, I can only make one last contribution to you!
After the earth-shattering explosion, everything became calm again. No one knew what had happened.
However, the warriors of the Royal Dragon Knights stopped in their tracks because that direction was where their commander was standing.
They waited for a long time, but the wolf riders didn't appear. The commander they had been waiting for didn't appear either...
