Chapter 415: Bravery and Sacrifice

In front of the entire population of the Verlassen fiefdom, Kahn's image appeared on the screens spread in all the cities and towns. His dejected and somber expression had already turned the atmosphere dreary in all the crowded places.

"Three days ago, at late night… a legendary rank monster suddenly attacked the main military headquarters at the border of the Kaldris region out of the blue.

We believe that it was actually the regional overlord of the hotspot of the annual monster tide. And it attacked the headquarters with the intention to invade the inner populated cities and inhabited lands by the people in the Kaldris region.

However, the 1 million soldiers stationed at this border equipped with all the war-related gears such as weaponry, flying ships, magic cannons and fighter class profession responded to the situation very quickly and created a defensive formation that stopped the legendary beast from entering any further." he explained.

"However… A legendary rank monster is not something even a semi-saint can win against.

So before Commander Kassandra Mikealson was alerted about the situation… a lot of the soldiers who understood the gravity of the situation and instead of waiting for a command and letting the monster invade the populated regions; they attacked and engaged it in a battle right away." he iterated the happenings of the night of the battle.

"Soon after Commander Mikealson reached the site, she sent a distress transmission to the capital where I was informed about the situation.

And given the distance between the capital and Kaldris region, it took us nearly 4 hours to send reinforcements and relief supplies." spoke Kahn and took a deep breath.

"In the meantime, despite being outmatched in every aspect… commander Kassandra herself fought bravely without a care for her life and blocked the enemy that was many times stronger than her.

Nevertheless… even those great numbers were not enough to gain victory.

As of today… we have confirmed that there are total hundred thousand and ninety four casualties." said Kahn in a heavy tone.

Gasp!

Gasp!

Millions of people gasped in surprise as they heard the total death count.

Normal people never had their lives centered on war or the military so they were not used to hearing so many people dying in just a few hours.

Another chatter started among the masses but Kahn abruptly interjected as he continued the speech.

"Before I even arrived at the site… any had already fallen, thousands of warships were wrecked and more than three hundred thousand soldiers had been injured.

But even so… our military force did not waver and kept fighting on the front and tried to repel the invader even if they knew that it would spell only their doom.

Our brave soldiers displayed their mettle and stood their ground firmly even if it meant sacrificing their lives.

In front of an imminent death… they embraced the danger and held off against the enemy." he said in a solemn tone.

"After my arrival… I and commander Kassandra joined hands together and to avoid more casualties, both of us led it back to the inner regions by provoking the enemy with our constant attack.

And after we reached forested terrain… The rest of the battle was fought between only 3 of us." he elaborated.

"Thanks to commander Kassandra's unique and amazing skills, we managed to trap and weaken it easily. And after that, we both managed to injure it to a great extent.

But just when we thought that victory was at our hands…

It used its life-saving skills." he said and heaved a sigh.

"During that decisive moment… commander Kassandra chose to protect me instead of herself and was severely injured." Kahn let out a crestfallen expression but carried on.

"After I too was heavily injured and barely had any strength left… I managed to land a killing blow and finish off the main perpetrator of this battle." he explained.

However, there was no joyous smile on his countenance.

"Commander Kassandra has managed to survive through her critical condition and is now in a recovery phase.

As for the intruder…" spoke Kahn and the following second… the focus of all the projection artifacts turned from him to the open ground behind Kahn's castle.

Shocked!

Bewildered!

The entire population of the fiefdom watching this broadcast was shocked to their core.

Because behind the castle… was a ginormous figure that was even bigger than the 200 meter tall castle itself laid on the ground and was currently surrounded by thousands of soldiers and flying ships.

This white-feathered creature that dwarfed even Kahn's enormous castle in height with a detached head that was 50 meters tall in itself appeared in front of the entire population.

The ginormous Caladrius who caused the mayhem and killed so many of the soldiers was now displayed to the masses.

"As you can see… this was the monster I was talking about. This creature is comparable to a Saint rank individual in terms of strength and fighting prowess.

So if someone is still under the impression that we were weak and failed to properly handle the situation…

Know that if this monster who could use wind elemental skills strong enough to shred tall buildings and even my castle in a single attack had invaded the cities… the death count would be in millions.

Although I was the one who landed the finishing blow… none of this would be even possible in the first place if not for the soldiers at the border.

And at this moment… the normal citizens are safe and alive only because of the Bravery and the Sacrifice made by the soldiers of our fiefdom.

So I hope that you will properly understand and commend our fallen heroes who gave their lives for your sake." said Kahn in an authoritative tone as he patronized the citizens.

His speech left not just the normal populace but even all the soldiers situated in different regions and military outposts feeling overwhelmed.

However… every single one of them had come to understand that their sovereign, Kahn Salvatore…

Was a true leader who actually cared about the lives of the Soldiers of the fiefdom.
