Return of The Unrivaled Spear Knight
Chapter 337
While Joshua was battling in the Imperial Palace, people and beasts were stomping toward the Avalon Empire’s border.
The grand army of one hundred thousand—no, two hundred thousand soldiers shook the ground beneath them.Findd new stories at novel35.com
The howl of violent beasts echoed through the air. The sky was covered by a pack of wyverns that were so ferocious that it looked like they would tear clouds apart. Everyone looked at the horizon to see the flags raised by the soldiers at the front. At that moment, the wind sent the flags waving vigorously. They belonged to the Swallow Empire, one of the two empires that practically ruled the continent.
“Commander Eima.” An aide came up to Duke Eima, the man called Ice Emperor by the people of the continent.
“Report.” Eima gestured at the aide.
“We currently have a total of 213,298 soldiers. Aside from the infantry soldiers, there are 2000 wolf riders, 500 wyvern knights, and 5700 C-Class knights, who have been drafted from 68 knight orders,” the aide reported.
“That’s enough.” Eima interrupted. “How is our main unit?”
“Ah! His Majesty has mercifully sent us the A-Class knights, including the ones that just became a Master, so if I add them...” The aide stroked his chin.
“If you add them?” Eima repeated.
“...There are a total of twenty-three A-Class knights,” the aide happily explained.
Eima gaped blankly for a moment.
“That’s splendid,” Eima said, breaking into a smile. “I knew there were many hidden forces inside the Empire, but...”
“Yes, I was also very surprised at first.” The aide nodded.
“That must mean the Grand Duke put his heart and soul into this war, but... I might set my heart on a different agenda, so how could he entrust me with such an army?” Eima mischievously asked.
“Wouldn’t it be an indication of how much he trusts you, master—no, commander?” the aide carefully suggested
“Trust? The Grand Duke?” Eima chuckled, shaking his head. “I guarantee you that is definitely not the case.”
“Then...?”
“He’s certain about his skills and about his subordinates’ loyalty toward him. In many ways, he’s truly something.” Eima shrugged. “Well, that is also the reason why I’m betting my future on him.”
“Commander...” The aide trailed off.
“Let’s stop the silly talk.” Eima turned his head to look beyond the horizon. “They’ve also noticed it by now, haven't they?”
“Yes.” The aide nodded. “The wyvern riders finished scouting and detected unusual movement inside the castle. It appears that they are preparing for defense.”
“Tsk. It’s meaningless.” Eima quietly clicked his tongue and fixed his eyes on the castle.
In a civilian’s eyes, the castle would be the size of an ant, but Eima could see the castle as clearly as if he was standing right before it. The old castle, no, it was more accurate to call it a fortress, looked like it had been made decades before. However, it was this gateway and impregnable fortress that Eima’s army had to pass through in order to get into the Avalon Empire. It was called...
“...Einberg.” Eima quietly mumbled, clenching his fists. “How long have we dreamed of this moment? The moment our Swallow Empire army takes that damn fortress down and tramples over the Avalon Empire’s land.”
“In the past, many of our empire’s heroes have fallen here, so today is the day to avenge the spilled blood,” the aide added with a faint smile.
“What did the Grand Duke say?” Eima asked.
The aide looked at the crystal ball in his hands. The crystal ball flickered three times at regular intervals.
“He says he’ll entrust you with all the matters since you’re the commander,” the aide answered with shining eyes.
“You...”
“...Kek... keke...” Kaiser was laughing even while he was dying. His mouth was bloody, but his eyes silently said that he didn’t regret anything and had not lost yet. Kaiser tried to make his presence felt until the end.
Joshua stared at Kaiser’s corpse for a very long time and then shoved the object into his inner pocket.
“Second Prince Kaizen,” he quietly said, breaking the suffocating silence.
Joshua was clearly addressing Kaizen as if the prince was beneath him, but his voice had the power to silence any protest.
“Wh-what is it?” Kaizen stuttered.
“Assemble all the nobles in the council chamber immediately,” Joshua commanded.
“I’ll tell the First Prince, so gather up every single one of them.”
Kaizen and the other nobles’ breaths caught in their throat, and their eyes bulged at Joshua’s unexpected words.
Joshua’s eyes turned cold.
“This is not a request, it’s an order. I’m in no mood for games, and this is a matter of urgency.”
“Wh-what in the world are you trying to do...?” Kaizen stammered out.
“The central army, the mobilizable reserve forces in the provinces, each family’s private army... I’ll summon all the forces to the Imperial Palace regardless of their faction or the size of their army,” Joshua explained.
Even the surviving Second Battalion knights held their breath.
The nobles reacted instantly.
“Ri-ridiculous!”
“You can’t do that! Who do you think you are to give such an order?!”
“You’re using the crisis... that’s so rude! I wasn’t going to say anything, but I don’t have a choice. How could you have such an idea...!”
“Above all, even Their Highnesses don’t have the power to summon the families’ private armies!”
Joshua let the nobles’ protests wash over him for a moment.
“Then do as you wish,” he replied with a cold smile.
The nobles gaped blankly at him. They hadn’t expected Joshua to stand down so easily after dropping such a bombshell.
“If any family doesn’t wish to send their soldiers, then they don’t have to,” Joshua said.
“Th-that means...?”
Joshua began to speak, enunciating each word with a weight that brooked no interruption.
“But I’m asking you to do this in order to save our country, because its fate is hanging in the balance right now. If there are any families whose armies are intact after the war...”
Joshua trailed off for a moment, then poured out his energy. The intangible energy spread outward from him, making the nobles freeze up as it rolled over them.
“...I’ll punish them myself for turning their backs on their country in a time of crisis.”
