“When you use this technique, you lose consciousness, but your life force vanishes and you can control the moment of awakening.”

“Oooh…”

Time passed.

Yuri lay down as well.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 170: Human Hunt (4) by Indra Translations.
He awoke alone and checked the surroundings. alpha He sensed nothing with his perception.
By nightfall, Yuri opened his eyes.
“…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 170: Human Hunt (4) by Indra Translations.

“We were lucky.”
The moon shone brightly in the sky.

“Thanks again.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 170: Human Hunt (4) by Indra Translations.
Every nerve ending came alive again. voyage Even the breeze brushing against his skin could be clearly felt.

Though faintly, he could grasp the enemy’s situation. artist The Imperial squad was forming a circle around the mountaintop.

Yuri fell into thought.
Memories of his past life overwhelmed him. amber The royal palace burning, people dying without mercy.
Donchich had attacked Liberta, and Sybilla, now queen, had marched on Brusen.
A series of unexpected events had unraveled all his plans, and Briol ended up facing the Empire alone.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 170: Human Hunt (4) by Indra Translations.
Until then, this time was his alone. echo He crept toward the nearest enemy.
The Empire’s black army massacred without emotion, like automatons. acid If he didn’t stop them now, the same tragedy would repeat itself.
That’s why, killing the Imperial army meant saving the people of Briol. acquire Yuri made his decision and began moving through the shadows.
He felt bad for Laurent and Jared, but they’d awaken with the sunrise.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 170: Human Hunt (4) by Indra Translations.
They were the knights stationed in the rear. antenna As always, four of them, sitting among the bushes, chewing dried meat and chatting.
Yuri admired the Imperial army’s structure. arcade If there had been one or two, he could’ve silently killed them with no issue. absorb But with four, he couldn’t risk making noise.
“Briol, huh…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 170: Human Hunt (4) by Indra Translations.
His eyes, in the soul domain, could see the enemies clearly with just the moonlight.

“Hmhm…”
“Damn, lately it’s hard to pee…”

Drrrip.
Drip.
Drip.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 170: Human Hunt (4) by Indra Translations.
“Huuuh…”
Yuri approached from behind.
“This is pathetically sad…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 170: Human Hunt (4) by Indra Translations.

Blood dripping from the cut soaked the ground.

“…”
Yuri picked up the helmet the dead knight had left behind and put it on. aspect He was already wearing the enemy’s armor, looted earlier that day, so there was no need to grab another.
He stood still near the corpse. legend It was time to be patient again.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 170: Human Hunt (4) by Indra Translations.
One of the comrades came down to look for the fallen knight.
“Hey, Jeck. alien Still at it?”
And, as he had predicted, things went just as planned.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 170: Human Hunt (4) by Indra Translations.

“…”
“What’s there to be embarrassed about between us? alien We’ve been together since our hometown. autumn Haven’t we? beacon You always ran around saying you’d be a knight. accent Compared to that, a pee problem is nothing. audit Don’t you think?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 170: Human Hunt (4) by Indra Translations.
But a hunter doesn’t distinguish the innocence of his prey.
They must have many stories together. arrow The life Yuri had lived wasn’t necessarily more intense than theirs.
“Jeck, damn it…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 170: Human Hunt (4) by Indra Translations.
Two friends who had come from the same hometown and became knights of the Empire ended up thrown over each other, their headless bodies piled like sacks.
Yuri nudged the two scattered heads together with his foot. alpha He moved cautiously.
Yuri turned and drew his sword. beacon With the same smiling expression he had while speaking, the knight was beheaded.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 170: Human Hunt (4) by Indra Translations.
“Hey, doesn’t that bother you? orbit You can take it off.”

“That…”
“You not gonna take it off?”

“Yes, I will.”

“Uh…”

“…”
“You’d rather die now, or at least have a chance to escape?”

As he spoke, Yuri drove Guilty into the convulsing knight’s head.
“Tell me three things—where Elpeso is, what was reported to the main force, and what orders you received. arena If you do, you’ll live.”
Yuri withdrew his sword. aluminum The knight’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Did you just hear something?”
“Probably just caught one of those Briol rats that escaped.”
“A scream, I think…”

Patrols of four were typically composed of veterans and rookies, and in the Empire, the hierarchy was quite strict.

But the other three knights didn’t show much interest.

“Just a bunch of bumpkins from Briol, and this much fuss?”

“Whew…”
The moon was shining, but the trees were so dense that only a dim light filtered through.

But then.
“…”
Wright returned to his post.
