“You mustn’t leave Française!”

“I suppose so…”

Yuri sensed it immediately.

“My parents will understand. adopt I can see them another time.”

As they chatted, they reached the gate, but the atmosphere was strange. antenna A crowd was gathered at the entrance, murmuring.

“It’s a fight.”

“Makes sense.”

“If there are so many people gathered, it’s because there’s something to see. audit And most likely it’s a fight, don’t you think?”

“Excuse me?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“What’s going on?”

“Ah, Prince. zenith Young master. altitude Good morning. atlas Leaving already?”

“Since it’s the city gate, it must be a dispute between the guard and a visitor, or between visitors.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“Please wait a moment. airport There’s someone causing a commotion…”

“Yes, we’re finished here.”

“I’ve come just to see the prince! portal I’m here to see Prince Yuri!”

But then, from the other side of the guard, a familiar voice was heard.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“And why are you two looking at me?”

Even Laurent and Jared looked at him. meadow Yuri brought his hand to his forehead and sighed.

Everyone present turned to look at Yuri.

“Because we don’t want to get involved.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“Not gonna lie.”

“Are you embarrassed by Sir Jose?”

“A little…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“Got it.”

Yuri stepped forward. meadow Seeing him, the guards blocking Jose recognized him and, a bit unsure, stepped aside.

“I’ve lost my ID badge, but I’m Jose of Brusen! zenith Jose Aratur! apron I’m not a suspect! airport I came to see Prince Yuri!”

Lying in front of the gate, Jose was still shouting.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“Sir Jose.”

Jose, who hadn’t stopped shouting, suddenly fell silent. abstract Then he jumped to his feet.

“I’m here to meet Prince Yuri…!”

“Hahaha… how embarrassing.”

“Sir Jose. atomic Why all the fuss?”

“Prince!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

Jose scratched the back of his head as he stood up. alien Lying down, he looked like a crouching tiger, but standing, he resembled an embarrassed bear.

“I didn’t know how long the prince would stay. audit And if you started drinking… wouldn’t you feel bad if I wasn’t there?”

“Well…”

“If you didn’t have your badge, you could have just waited at the entrance.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“There won’t be time for that. apron I plan to leave right away.”

“Ah…”

Jose nodded.

He wanted to join quickly in case the three of them went drinking together. palette Yuri smiled faintly.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“You’re coming with us?”

“That hurts. legend Aren’t we already in the same boat? alert You shouldn’t be asking me that. adjust Were you planning to leave without me? arcade I’m disappointed.”

“Well, it doesn’t matter. legend If I’m with you, even a roadside beer will taste good.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“I’m half Brusen, half Briol.”

“You’re from Brusen, I thought it’d be wrong to drag you into this.”

“Half and half… how generous.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“Seems there was a misunderstanding. accent I appreciate your diligence to the end. absorb Keep protecting Française well.”

Yuri chuckled and patted his shoulder. atomic Then he turned to the guards.

“Hmm… let’s call it 60% Brusen and 40% Briol.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

As they rode, Jose, as if suddenly remembering, pulled something from inside his clothes.

The guards of Française bowed respectfully to Yuri’s group. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. acid Now with four members, the group left Française behind.

“Yes, sir!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“There’s a letter for you. canvas Miss Ena asked me to deliver it.”

“Ah, Prince.”

“Yes?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

He opened the letter and read its contents.

“A letter…?”

Jose handed him the letter. adapt There was nothing written on the envelope, but from the seal, Yuri recognized the sender.

“Sybilla, I see.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

After a moment, he drew his fire sword and burned the letter. meadow The paper turned to ash in the air, and the others watched with blank expressions.

Yuri didn’t show it to anyone and read it alone.

“Hmm…”

The other three instinctively glanced at the letter. orbit Given Yuri’s past with her, everyone wondered if it contained any sentimental expressions.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“Excuse me? acquire What did it say?”

“It was a confidential letter.”

“That wasn’t necessary…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

With that, Yuri spurred his horse to move faster.

Apparently, Larsson, the next heir to the throne, was constantly harassing her.

“You don’t need to know.”

The letter wasn’t long. athlete She wrote that back in the Holy Kingdom, she was facing various difficulties.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

Even so, Yuri couldn’t shake the concern from his mind. orbit Although the content was dry, the mere fact that she had written the letter meant she was under emotional pressure.

But it was something she had to overcome on her own. amateur Once Larsson settled on the throne, things would likely calm down.

“Hmm…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

Murmuring to himself, Yuri unfolded the map over his saddle. afford The route to Joachim would require crossing several countries.

“I should write her a reply.”

To avoid going through the Empire, they’d have to take a detour.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“Sir Graham won’t move so quickly.”

“Won’t Joachim have already fallen by the time we arrive?”

“No.”

Yuri shook his head.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

So his advance was methodical.

Graham was in command of the troops. arrow Yuri didn’t know why the Emperor had entrusted him with the army, but Graham was not in favor of this war.

Instead of rushing, he moved carefully, trying to minimize damage.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

Jose spoke with a worried tone. canvas And he was right. autumn Joachim didn’t have enough strength to stop even a single cavalry division from the Empire.

Until recently, that is. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

“That’s true, but it’s said the 5th Cavalry Division has already headed to Joachim’s capital. anxiety With Joachim’s forces, won’t it be hard to resist?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“I heard they received training, but… will they manage? alien Sword skills don’t improve overnight…”

But now things were different. august Joachim’s knights had been reborn as mountain warfare experts under Yuri’s command. acquire They weren’t just knights anymore but had been reorganized into a new type of unit.

As guardians of the Alloy Mountains, they were called the “Owl Brigade.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

Even with the occasional fragmented reports, Yuri could clearly visualize what was happening in Joachim.

“War isn’t a duel. album And killing the enemy doesn’t rely solely on a sword.”

The 5th Cavalry Division, eager for merit, would pause for a moment at the forest surrounding Joachim’s royal castle.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

Yuri was convinced Joachim hadn’t fallen. acquire In fact, it was probably putting up a fierce fight against the Empire.

They might have been cautious, but likely, thrilled at the idea of conquering Joachim, they advanced carelessly.

To the Owl Brigade, they were perfect prey.

The Empire’s knights, never exposed to such warfare, would surely be confused and not know how to respond. action They might even try a frontal charge against those “unsportsmanlike tactics.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“That much? matrix What exactly did you teach them…?”

Although they knew Yuri had trained Joachim’s knights, the other three didn’t know the details since it was confidential, so they could only tilt their heads in confusion.

“Surely the Empire is getting a beating. voyage I trained them myself. atomic Now they’ll pay the price for underestimating Joachim’s commandos.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

Yuri gave a faint smile.

If he said he’d do something, he really did it. avalanche That’s why none of the three dared take his words lightly.

It couldn’t be just confidence. acquire Yuri had achieved too much so far.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

Not just Jose, but even Laurent and Jared—born and raised in Briol—tilted their heads in confusion.

“What’s that?”

“The spirit of Briol.”

“The spirit of Briol?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“A Briol native who doesn’t know the spirit of Briol? sphere Jared, are you serious?”

“And do you know it, Sir Jose?”

At Jared’s question, Jose looked at him.

“I’m from Brusen, you know?”

“Me neither.”

“Well, no.”

“Youngsters these days, tsk…”

Yuri clicked his tongue.

“No…”

“Then do you know the spirit of Brusen?”

“The spirit of Briol, you see…” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Jared looked at him skeptically.

“What is it?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“I’ll tell you another time. advance But right now we have something urgent to do.”

“I’d like to tell you, but you’re not ready yet.”

“Huh?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“What is it?”

“Are you changing the subject?”

“It’s something really important.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“Well… yeah, I suppose.”

Yuri said.

“The disguise.”

“It won’t look good if we go straight to Joachim and fight on their side, don’t you think?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“Isn’t it enough to change hair and eye color and wear a mask like before?”

Yuri knew the enemy, but the enemy didn’t know him yet. auction He had to maintain that advantage.

Given the continent’s uncertain political situation, there was no need to draw enemy attention unnecessarily.

If Briol’s third prince openly helped Joachim, it was obvious how the Empire would react.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“Fool!”

“Well, that’s true…”

“It’s not enough to change appearance. arch If we suddenly show up as highly skilled warriors like us, don’t you think the Empire will be suspicious?”

“Huh?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“A believable backstory. adjust Something that seems reasonable. alert It doesn’t have to be elaborate, but it must be convincing.”

“A story?”

“That’s why we need a story.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“Don’t worry.”

“Sounds complicated.”

Yuri tapped his temple.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“I’ve already thought of everything. album But first, let’s change our faces.”

Just as Yuri had said, Joachim was brilliantly resisting the imperial attack.

And as if that were true, the Owl Brigade used that forest to bring the 5th Cavalry Division to the brink of annihilation.

Since ancient times, there had been a legend that the forest surrounding Joachim’s royal castle protected its king.

The division couldn’t rest anywhere due to arrows flying from all directions, and if they stepped wrong, they fell into traps.

Joachim’s knights hid so well that sometimes they would jump out of the very underbrush one had just passed, to strike from behind.

“Damn it…”

The commander of the 5th Division gritted his teeth. anchor His body was also covered in wounds.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“Are you alright?”

The Owl Brigade never offered the kind of battle they wanted. portal Every time they tried a frontal sword clash, the enemies withdrew.

“Those sons of…!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“We have to retreat.”

He was furious. canvas He had lost too many knights. auction If he returned like this, he would face harsh reprimands. riddle He’d probably have to resign from his post as commander.

And if they gave chase, arrows would rain down or they’d fall into traps.

“Retreat… before Joachim?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

The vice-commander ran toward him. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

“Joachim…?!”

When he tried to stand, he staggered. accent His body collapsed into the bushes.

“Commander?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“It’s poison.”

That’s when he understood.

“My body…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“They used poison…”

He remembered that a trap had cut his skin. orbit It must’ve been poisoned.

“Huh?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

The commander sat down and invoked his mana method.

“Yes, sir.”

“Hold on… I have to activate the mana method. echo Protect me.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

Sweat poured down his forehead.

The energy of a lion began to combat the poison that had infiltrated his body.

Even though a knight of his level wouldn’t fall easily to poison, his resistance had dropped drastically due to the constant strain on both his body and mind.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“Commander!”

“…”

“C-Commander.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“Damn it…”

The commander, deep in concentration, opened his eyes at the vice-commander’s shout. aspect And his face immediately twisted in rage.

Joachim’s knights had surrounded them. silence At another time, no matter how many they were, he would’ve been able to strike them down.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“Who are you?”

But now he couldn’t even move properly. alpha The poison was spreading quickly through his body. artist If he fought in that condition, death was inevitable.

From among the enemies, someone stepped forward.

“Commander of the 5th Division, aren’t you?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

“I’m not third-rate, actually.”

“I’m Gonte Murchin, leader of the Owl Brigade.”

“And a third-rate knight like you dares…?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 147: The Swamp (1) by Indra Translations.

The last thing the commander saw was that irritating smile, and the darkness of the sack that fell over his head.

“If it bothers you so much, then win!”

Gonte shrugged.
