Rooting Out Pest

I wasn't worried about the confrontation with the baron in the least. To me, the baron was an idiot and a useless lord who had no right to rule over a city.

I didn't want to steal anything at first, but after witnessing the lives of his people, I simply decided to take everything away from him.

I couldn't stand by and watch children starve to death. Yet, in order to store food for the winter, that obese bastard starved his people.

I was perplexed as to how someone like him became a noble in the first place. It must be his father's or grandfather's.

The Empire should enact legislation that prevents aristocratic children from inheriting land unless they have demonstrated their aptitude.

I was standing in front of the castle of the fourth noble we had encountered on their expedition. The lord, who was also a baron, was currently bargaining over the price of a slew of weaponry seized from the previous baron.

When we travelled through another noble's land the day before, I despatched a mes

    Two recently appointed soldiers stood guard at the camp's main gates. They could see a rider approaching swiftly from a distance. One of the guards approached the rider, wondering as to what orders the rider had received.Closer scrutiny revealed that the rider was not one of his comrades, and he swiftly lifted his spear to engage, only to have it smashed by the enemy's blade.The two soldiers might have been slain sooner if the adversary had not been in such a hurry to flee.The rider riding the stolen horse sped by the two guards without a mount and successfully exited the camp.The two soldiers sprinted for their horses, one readying his spear to throw, cursing as they rose up from the impact of the attack, but they could do nothing except watch as the enemy galloped out of their fire range.I arrived quickly and snatched the spear from the guard's grasp before resuming the chase.I was around 100 meters away from the fleeing opponent at the time, and I wasn't sure I could hit my t

  • Demon's Evolution   Count Forser's Garrison

    The news quickly reached the ears of the surrounding nobles.The bandit camp was taken over because I personally sent personnel to disseminate the word.Viscount Zugal appeared to be in his late thirties. He was really attractive, with his green hair and well-defined frame, and a determined expression on his face.He brought some other nobles with him.They were all lords who had had enough of Count Forser's power and influence.After greeting him at the door and presenting him to the rest of my knights, I gave Zugal a brief overview of the group's circumstances and told him about how we conquered the camp the day before.I also asked him why he had come to see us.Viscount Zugal also spoke candidly, stating that he had come to see if the group's military power could resist an attack by the Count's regiment of garrison troops as well as the elite force of Horseriders.The major reason the Count had gone over his limit was because of this man in front of me.The count cannot do as he p

  • Demon's Evolution   A Short War

    A war that could have finished in a matter of hours has now lasted many days. I can't yet show out my cards.If the neighbouring lords found out I possessed Nero, who could transform into a wyvern and slay them all, they would undoubtedly try to inform the Duchess.If they also knew I possessed a supreme knight capable of killing a few thousand men on his own, it would be difficult not to attract the attention of higher-ranking nobles.Everyone would want the Duchess or the Emperor to lease me if they knew there was a sorceress like Solan who could cast an entire city into a state of fantasy and despair.As a result, I had to fight the war in a more conventional manner.That doesn't mean I won't be able to put my abilities to use.In truth, the princess already knew about my powers, thus defeating a Count will not be difficult for me.On the second day, they dispatched their infantry troops with shields and swords to confront the archers and squander the arrow bolts.Solan, who was in

    The adversary was perplexed as to why the number of archers atop the walls never appeared to lessen.They were currently at a standstill, with the Count's men using the shields for cover and my men using the walls for cover.At least, that's what the adversary believed.The Count's archers posed a significant threat to My archers now that they had reduced the distance between themselves and the defensive walls.While the archers atop the walls were busy suppressing the enemy's archers, the troops pushing the battering did their best to move it quickly towards the door. They were only a few steps away from their destination when they heard a loud command."Invoke."The enemy's visage blackened and heaved as they hoped they had misheard.But the intense heat rising above them indicated differently.[Fireball]The low-level spell struck a group of foes, who immediately panicked and cried, "The enemy has a mage!"Following then, one fireball after another appeared in the sky, forcing the

    I felt the first snowfall of the year.And grumbled "It appears that fate plans to take the enemy's life sooner. I had intended to keep them alive for one more night so that we could prepare, but it appears that we will not be able to escape a slaughter tonight."As the fire was extinguished, hundreds of infantry troops rushed towards the camp, moving the battering ram that had been blocking the path. Outside the camp, the sounds of horses galloping became louder."Go in there and kill every single one!" The infantrymen sang as the cavalry approached the door.The cavalry unit, Count Forser's best warriors, were exhausted from heading into another conflict so soon after an expedition. To add insult to injury, because the camp was on higher elevation, it took their horses longer to ascend, making them easy targets for the archers.This is a baffling form of fight in which the Baron hides inside the camp, arousing the cavalrymen's terrible fury.They surged inside the camp, full of murd

    The snow kept falling. However, instead of big flakes, there were small particles of white that progressively coated the earth white.The camp was as warm as early summer since a massive campfire had been built in the centre. Large portions of meat were skewered on sticks of wood as everyone, including the recently released prisoner, joined in.They were too scared to speak and sat silently waiting for their meat to cook. Their eyes were bright. Perhaps that was the first meat they had eaten in years.When I went out of my tent, everyone hastily dropped their skewers on the ground before kneeling respectfully.Lisa's eyes welled up with emotions as she saw over a thousand men kneeling to her son."Husband, I have done a good job raising our son. Are you pleased with my achievements?"She jerked in shock when a hand landed on her shoulder, and she was surprised to see that it was her son."Mother, this is only the beginning. I intend to make my mother the queen of our empire."I spoke

    "I'm Riel Alheim from the mainland, and I'm in command of this convoy. What about telling me who you truly are?"I made no attempt to conceal my doubts.The strange thing was that my analysis revealed the name [Stein Glassfield].So he wasn't completely lying. Stein Glassfield was his true name."I-I am, in fact, Baron Glassfield's son" If you don't believe me, just ask the people you've helped. Many of them have directly grown up alongside me. Otherwise, they would not listen to my directions or follow me at all." Stein seemed agitated as if I had pricked his most sensitive area with my question."Is that correct?" I stated it casually.The man sagged on the ground like a kite whose string had been severed. "That is undeniably correct, sir. I am, in fact, the Baron's son. My family has all died, thus I am the only one alive who carries his blood. That is why I am his sole heir."Wise gave a nod. He appeared to grasp something and whispered it in my ear."Master, it appears he is an i

    Several nobles arrived at the camp, bringing us supplies as a thank you for defeating Count Forser's army.Hay is no longer in short supply for the horses."Baron, are you really going to eliminate Count Forser?" The nobles inquired, delighted and surprised.There was some mockery in their eyes, but most of them were confident and believed in me."That's correct. We might as well finish the job fully and uproot the foundation of his power since we've already destroyed so many of his soldiers, should he cause us more grief in the future.""Have a good night, Baron. We wish you the best and will supply anything you require."They didn't say anything about joining the fight. And I understand that it was a massive risk that, if it went wrong, could have meant the loss of their entire family.I smiled as I waved them off.They'll be begging me for help soon.They'll soon be kicking themselves for not joining me in this fight since I'll only give individuals one opportunity to prove themse

    "Hey! Why should we listen to a brat like you?" The interjection came from the back of the crowd, a young soldier, his face flushed with anger, his eyes blazing with defiance. The rest of the soldiers turned to stare, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.A genuine smile spread across my face. Finally, someone had the audacity to speak up. A flicker of satisfaction ignited within me. This was exactly what I had been hoping for, wasn't it? Didn't this feel like the natural order of things?I had anticipated this moment from the very beginning. There was no way these esteemed scions of nobility and battle-hardened knights would meekly submit to the commands of a mere child. The moment I was elected commander of one of the three mighty armies, I knew this tension would inevitably arise. After all, who among these talented warriors would willingly follow a teenager with little to boast of in terms of accomplishments? And let's not forget the shadow of my less-than-st

  • Demon's Evolution   Doubt In the Commander

    Ladia couldn't help but castigate herself for her lapse in judgment. How had she not seen it before? If the involvement of the magic towers would significantly aid the Empire, then the impact of the very person who had defeated the magicians of the tower participating would be monumental.The princess's heart thrummed with the realization, chiding herself for taking so long to come to this epiphany. Was Ethan's proposal the correct course of action or not? She no longer dwelled on the question.With a steely gaze, Ladia announced, "I have reached a verdict."The room fell silent as all eyes turned to the princess. The final decision lay in her hands, and she was ready to reveal it. The anticipation hung heavy in the air, and Ladia took a deep breath before continuing. "I have decided to accept Ethan's proposal."A murmur of surprise rippled through the room, but Ladia held up her hand for silence. "I believe that Ethan's plan, with a few modifications, is the best course of action for

    My suggestion ignited a firestorm of debate among the upper echelons of the capital. The princess convened her officials in the grand throne room, where the air was thick with tension and uncertainty as they deliberated their next course of action. Ultimately, the march toward the City of Aran was postponed by a full day, a delay that weighed heavily on everyone present. The officials found themselves divided, caught between two stark choices: should they attempt to reclaim the nearby City of Aran from the Beast Kingdom, or should they focus their efforts on retaking the more strategically significant City of Northfall?"But, Your Majesty," one of the officials interjected, his voice rising above the murmurs of the assembly, "as we stand now, we cannot afford to risk an attack on the Northfall Fortress! I have heard reports that the beastmen have fortified their walls and laid even more traps to ensnare us! If we allow this farce to continue, we will be nothing more than lambs led to

  • Demon's Evolution   Indecisive

    A chill snaked down Ryle's spine. Ethan's suggestion hung in the air, heavy and suffocating, like a shroud woven from despair. To attack City of Aran, a fortress city now bristling with tens of thousands of Beast Kingdom soldiers, felt like a declaration of utter annihilation. Even Lance, their most valiant commander, had fallen captive within its walls.Ryle's brow creased into a deep furrow. He, too, was a commander of the Initiation Army, a man who had tasted the bitterness of defeat and the sting of loss. He couldn't fathom how Ethan, this newly appointed leader, could so blithely propose a course of action that reeked of self-destruction."I cannot, in good conscience, agree with your plan," Ryle stated, his voice laced with a mixture of disbelief and frustration. "As we stand now, attacking Northfall City is a fool's errand, a suicide mission. We are scattered, depleted, and outmatched. We must first rally our remaining forces, regroup along the borders, and then, and only then,

    "Ryle Green, step forward!" the Royal advisor said, seeing Ryle was in a daze.Ryle coughed and stepped forward, his heart pounding with excitement as he knelt before the Princess."Ryle Green, you are hereby granted authority over fifty thousand soldiers," the Princess said, her voice like a melody that soothed the soul. "You shall be the commander of the Vanguard Army!"With a snap of her fingers, the Princess bestowed an insignia upon Ryle's shoulder, its glow of light like a beacon of hope in the face of the looming threat of the Beast Kingdom."I will crush those beastmen for you, Your Highness!" Ryle said, his voice filled with determination and resolve.The Princess smiled, her eyes filled with pride and hope. "We have faith in you, Ryle," she said. "Together, we will defeat the Beast Kingdom and restore peace to our lands."Princess Ladia nodded, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "I expect a lot from the younger generation, Ryle," she said, her voice laced with both encou

  • Demon's Evolution   The Chosen Commanders

    The Dwarven Kingdom, a land renowned for its glittering wealth, held its breath. The Brightwing Empire’s meager offer, a desperate plea for aid, was all they had to entice the notoriously hard-drinking mercenaries. Even if their weapons were outdated, their reputation for unmatched effectiveness in battle preceded them. Surely, that would be enough.“Your Majesty,” a guard murmured, his voice barely a tremor in the air. “They have arrived.”Princess Ladia, lost in a labyrinth of thought, startled slightly. She had wrestled with the decision for what felt like an eternity, but finally, a solution had emerged. All that remained was to face them, to meet their gaze and offer her hand in this desperate alliance.Viscount Lamiel, a man whose arrogance was only surpassed by his thirst for gold, strode into the royal garden, flanked by a legion of equally boisterous mercenaries. Princess Ladia recognized most of them – the nobles summoned by the crown, their faces etched with a mixture of g

    The scene unfolded with brutal efficiency. Several soldiers, their faces grim and resolute, descended upon Drew and the other soldier, their movements swift and decisive. There was no struggle, no desperate pleas for mercy. They walked away with heads bowed, accepting their fate with a stoic silence that spoke volumes of their resignation.Ryle, his expression a mixture of weariness and amusement, ran a hand through his hair, a sigh escaping his lips. "What a waste of a perfectly good sleep," he muttered, his voice laced with a hint of exasperation. "Young men like myself need our rest, yet everyone seems determined to disrupt my slumber over such trivial matters."His gaze shifted to me, and a playful smile curved his lips. "Allow me to introduce myself," he said, extending a hand towards me. "Ryle Green, third son of Count Green, and as you might be able to tell, the future commander of this very army." He spoke with an air of unwavering confidence, his words carrying the weight of

    Two soldiers from a rival camp, their boots crunching on the gravel path, happened upon the conversation. One soldier, his face contorting with barely suppressed mirth, clamped a hand over his mouth, desperately trying to stifle a chuckle. His companion, sensing the impending eruption, jabbed him in the ribs with an elbow, a silent plea for decorum. But the laughter, like a trapped spring, was too powerful to contain. Tears welled in the soldier's eyes, threatening to spill over as his shoulders shook with silent mirth. Finally, with a strangled cry, he burst into a full-blown guffaw. "Hahahaha! If it's the Young Master leading us! Hahaha! We'll be able to… Pft! Hahaha!"The sound of his uncontrolled laughter echoed through the camp, drawing curious glances from nearby soldiers. Gaston, his face a mask of confusion and irritation, turned to the source of the amusement. "Excuse me, but what's so funny?" he demanded, his voice laced with displeasure.The soldier, still gasping for br

    The unyielding army of the Ice Demon City had been journeying for a considerable number of weeks, traversing a multitude of cities and towns along the way. During our sojourns, we would occasionally restock our supplies, find respite in taverns, and often in the great outdoors, before resuming our arduous trek.Given the unfortunate circumstances, we were informed that the Ice Demon City was the most distant of all cities from the capital. This reality meant that we were among the last to receive the urgent message, compelling us to join the ranks of the other nobles and their armies in the capital.It was in the fourth week of our relentless march that we finally arrived in the grand and magnificent Capital city. The journey had been long and arduous, but our determination never wavered, as we knew our presence was required in these critical times. I had already surmised that the majority of the other nobles and their forces would have already amassed in the capital, readying themse
