Chapter 35: Meeting (1)

Valshard was spacious inside. arrow The army of Briol entered through the walls and set up their camps.

“Everyone will be assembled within a week.”

In the distance, the banners of the Empire and Burssen fluttered. aspect Soon, the emblems of many other nations would align here.

Yuri called the knights together.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

Everyone looked straight at Yuri.

He sat in the grand chair he had used when attacking Orcbal and looked over the knights. abstract Thanks to the battles they had faced, their demeanor had changed. orbit They now appeared far more dependable.

“How do you think the allied army will proceed from here?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“You should think for yourselves.”

It was as if none of them even doubted that he had the answer.

“We don’t know. crystal Please tell us.”

“Why are you all just staring at me?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“You must know, Prince.”

“When knights from different countries meet, what’s the first thing they usually do?”

Yuri tapped his temple with his fingers.

The knights already knew the third prince was not the immature boy they had imagined. harbor He was a true commander who led his troops with the skill of a veteran.

“Greet each other?”

“Who was that—‘greet each other’?”

Yuri sighed.

“Sorry.”

“Who said ‘massive brawl’?”

“Usually, they end up fighting. agent At the end of the day, they all wield swords and want to know who’s stronger. august But even if we’re called an ‘allied army,’ what do you think will happen when knights from completely different nations gather?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

Yuri stood from his seat.

“Come on, how can you call yourselves knights if you’re talking about street fights?”

“Sorry.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“What I’m saying is there won’t be any cooperation. antenna Just numbers. sphere Like scattered grains of sand. album Even you all are like that. arena If the Empire ordered you to do something, would you obey without question?”

“See? artist Everyone will be the same. avalanche Each will act on their own. agent How can we expect a proper war like that?”

“Absolutely not!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

No one answered quickly.

“Exactly. palette It’s a headache. aspect But it’s out of our control. silence So what should we do?”

Then Laurent cautiously raised his hand.

“We can’t.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

Seeing the eager gleam in Laurent’s eyes, Yuri didn’t criticize him harshly and redirected the response.

“Subjugate them!”

“Who said ‘subjugate’…?”

“Well… that’s a thought anyone might have.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“But that’s not the real answer. arctic What we need to do is…”

Someone else raised their hand. airport It was Simon.

The knights didn’t look too thrilled, but Yuri ignored it.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

He had recently been moved by Yuri’s guidance during the fight with the orcs.

He said it firmly. agent Yuri clapped.

“Train.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Thank you.”

Simon placed a hand over his chest in a gesture of loyalty.

“Exactly! action That’s it! shadow Well done, Simon. auction My precious knight, Sir Simon.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

He pointed to the camp. atom The soldiers were resting peacefully.

“We must become stronger. harbor If we want to survive and protect those who can live longer, we must become even stronger.”

Yuri stepped forward.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

The battles ahead would be unimaginably chaotic.

“Train, and make the others train. autumn That is what we must do.”

Against the brute strength of other races, human tactics would fall apart. alpha Fighting orcs was exactly like that.

They contained training plans and a list of soldiers to instruct.

The only thing they could rely on was their own skill. auction Yuri handed out papers to each knight.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

As Yuri began to walk, the knights stepped aside to let him pass.

Even if they didn’t enjoy training after all they had been through, no one objected.

“I’ll be training with you as well.”

“Our war has already begun.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Laurent.”

Yuri, their commander, would personally carry out what he ordered.

“Yes.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“It would be an honor.”

“You’ll be my opponent.”

Thus began the training of the Briol army. avalanche The knights instructed the soldiers in mana and swordsmanship, and also trained among themselves to reach new heights.

The residents of Valshard and allied troops watched curiously around Briol’s camp.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

Since his second life began, Yuri had never met anyone his age who could match him. agent But Laurent was a talent that managed to challenge him.

“Laurent, you’re really strong.”

Yuri crossed swords with Laurent. sphere A pleasant fatigue coursed through his body.

“You are as well, Prince.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Right… when you cut my throat, you did it perfectly too.”

For Yuri, who had mastered a rough combat style through his mercenary experience and the “Cut of Soul and Heart,” it was a refreshing change.

In the past, his lack of vision had kept him from recognizing Laurent’s true worth.

Especially because their combat styles were completely different, allowing them to learn from each other and complement their weaknesses. admire Few knights so righteous pursued the proper path like him.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

Yuri slightly lowered his practice sword and looked at Laurent. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. alpha As he crossed swords with him, he began to notice little details he had never considered before.

“Nothing.”

“Pardon?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

Yuri wanted to say he felt the same about Laurent. amber His combat style was so precise.

“Me too.”

“But thanks to that, I’m learning a lot.”

“Prince, your swordsmanship is something I could never imitate. armor It’s truly incredible. antenna Sometimes, your reaction speed makes you seem inhuman.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

Yuri shrugged. amber After all, this was his second life—he should at least be able to do this much.

“I thought I had kept my pride in check, but seeing you, Prince, I realize I hadn’t done enough.”

Though he hadn’t lost his footing, Yuri had maintained a constant advantage. adopt For Laurent, that must have been a rare experience.

Laurent straightened up.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Alright.”

“Once more, please.”

By then, a crowd had gathered around them. academy It wasn’t common to witness a duel between such high-level knights. canvas And even less so between the two who would lead Briol’s future.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

Laurent controlled every part of his body when drawing in an enemy. atomic That obsession with perfection was likely what had brought him this far. echo So then, what about himself?

Yuri raised his practice sword and meditated again on the true meaning of the “Cut of Soul and Heart.”

Yuri forgot everything else and focused solely on Laurent. arch He could even see each golden hair moving within his field of vision.

“Hoo…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

Yuri had been born with great mana control talent, but he had never done it with such precision before. orbit Because it required immense mental energy.

From the core that hung in his heart, a thin thread of mana began to emanate.

The sensation was uncomfortable.

He controlled the flow of mana from beginning to end.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

Laurent struck first. portal He came at him hard. attic He was trying to emulate Yuri’s virtues.

“I’m coming.”

He wouldn’t be able to fight like that for long. acid But his understanding of combat became clearer than ever.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Come on.”

The “Cut of Soul and Heart” required imagination. beacon The cut moved toward the future Yuri envisioned, and the body manifested it. athlete But by controlling the mana, his vision surpassed imagination and became something more real.

Yuri lifted his practice sword and poured what he had sensed from Laurent into his technique.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

In that instant, Laurent’s practice sword flew from his hand and soared into the air. sphere Something had happened.

It was almost like a premonition. apple Yuri opened his eyes wide. action The two swords clashed.

“What… was that?”

Laurent looked at Yuri with wide eyes and a slightly parted mouth. galaxy His golden hair fluttered in the wind. crystal It was the dumbest expression Yuri had ever seen on him.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“How did you know that sword movement?”

“Just lucky.”

Yuri let out a soft laugh and collapsed to the ground. arcade Controlling mana that precisely had drained him.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

Laurent looked back and forth between his sword stuck in the ground and Yuri.

“Hmm?”

“Prince.”

It wasn’t modesty—it was a fact. ability What he had just achieved was more luck than skill. legend He was still far from being able to use it in a real battle.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Come on, just one more time.”

“I’m exhausted.”

“Let’s do it again.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Get up!”

When Laurent tried to pull him up by force, Yuri resisted.

“I told you, I don’t have the strength…”

“Hey, hey.”

“Show us again.”

“Get up, Prince.”

“I didn’t see it properly.”

“What was that technique?”

“Stand up!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Here I go. abstract Haa!”

Like spectators pushing a gladiator into the arena, they all urged Yuri to pick up the sword again. airport In the end, he was forced to stand, sword in hand, in front of Laurent.

Laurent threw his sword.

Something was wrong. beacon He was the prince and the commander. atlas Why was he being forced to fight in a coliseum?

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

Yuri fell face-first, and Laurent panicked.

“Gah!”

Yuri tried to repeat what he’d done before, but failed. ability Laurent’s sword struck him in the chest. anchor A sharp pain shot through his ribs.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Are you alright?”

“I told you to take it easy…”

“P-Prince!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Those bastards… agh…”

“No…”

Yuri, sitting on the ground, glared at the spectators who had egged him on. academy They were walking away like nothing had happened.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Call Hernand…”

Laurent dashed off. altitude Yuri remained seated, staring at the sky.

The pain didn’t even allow him to scream. autumn Yuri groaned from the ground.

“Yes, sir!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

‘If three people walk together, one is surely useless.’

He’d taken a solid hit, but it hadn’t all been in vain. avalanche Through Laurent’s swordsmanship, he’d glimpsed a new dimension of the “Soul and Heart Slash.”

“Prince.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

Suddenly, someone approached and cast a shadow over him.

Yuri lifted his head. atlas It was Jose, the knight from Brusen. shadow He vaguely remembered him among the spectators. abstract That enormous body was hard to miss.

“That technique was impressive.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Would you grant me a duel…?”

“No.”

“Prince, I have a request.”

“What is it?”

“I’ll lend you Jared instead.”

“Just once…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Greetings.”

The Sacred Kingdom had entered Valshard, and troops from various nations continued to gather. shadow The archmage erected a flagpole for the allied army. apron With the Empire’s banner at the front, emblems of numerous countries fluttered in the meadow wind.

Yuri looked up at Briol’s flag. echo It bore the simplified figure of a knight on horseback. antenna It was a humble design, but many had laid down their lives beneath that banner.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Permission to proceed.”

“Ah, yes.”

Suddenly, soldiers from another country greeted Yuri with a slight bow and began raising a new flagpole.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“What country are you from?”

It was a nation neighboring Brusen. meadow If those two westernmost countries had already arrived, it meant nearly all members of the alliance were present.

“Liberta.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“What is it?”

“Prince!”

Then a Briol soldier came running toward Yuri with news.

“They say the supreme commander of the allied army has arrived.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Oh, really?”

Yuri already knew who it was: Imperial Prince Ragnar, half-brother of the current emperor and Yekaterina’s uncle. amateur Someone he had met once in his past life.

The Empire had stationed forces in Valshard for some time, but the real commander had just arrived.

Yuri recalled the moment.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

‘Do you really like this girl?’

His tone had been peculiar. adapt Perhaps Ragnar had already known something back then.

Ragnar was a tall man, uncharacteristic for someone of imperial blood. arcade He looked at him with intense eyes and asked:

It was when he had secretly held Yekaterina’s hand at an imperial country estate. antenna Suddenly, Ragna appeared and caught them.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

‘I see.’

‘Yes. apple I do.’

Yuri had answered firmly. echo Though just the third prince of Briol with nothing to offer against Yekaterina’s background, he had been brimming with boldness at the time.

Ragnar had simply nodded and turned away. adopt And that was the end of it. avalanche The relationship between Yuri and Yekaterina was never made public.

He was a man who exuded depth.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Yes. timber How did you know?”

“It’s nothing. adjust The supreme commander must be Imperial Prince Ragnar, right?”

“Excuse me?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Oooh…”

“Because I’m well-informed about the Empire.”

“By the way, today’s lunch is beef soup with rice and stir-fried vegetables with ham. august I also have full control of the mess hall.”

“Ooooh…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“You may go.”

“Excuse me?”

“Take it easy.”

“Yes! audit I’ll go right away!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Anyway, you’ll have training when you get back. arcade These are the moments when people slack off.”

The Liberta soldiers glanced sideways at their casual exchange. atlas Such informality wouldn’t be possible in other countries.

“What are you staring at?”

“As expected of you, Prince. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. echo I’ll pause every three steps.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“N-nothing, sir.”

“Nothing special.”

Yuri crossed his arms and watched Liberta’s flag-raising ceremony. beacon Without formalities, they simply hoisted it up with effort.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

He mentally noted the nations in the alliance and turned away. atlas The sun was strong, so he walked in the shade between two buildings near the flagpoles.

“It looks crooked.”

“Yes, sir!”

“Are you raising that flag properly?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“What do you mean no, you idiot?”

Yuri had quietly returned and peeked around the corner. alpha A man in ornate clothing was scolding the soldiers.

“No, sir!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Then why’d you put it like that?”

“No, sir!”

“Sorry!”

“It’s crooked. alert Do you want Liberta’s flag to look ridiculous?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“No, sir!”

“Does apologizing end your military service?”

“And why do something you’re going to apologize for?”

“Sorry!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Enough. atomic Let’s look at the flags. portal Quite a few have arrived. matrix And that one over there?”

He was truly an obnoxious guy. meadow And judging by how well he bullied others, he seemed to be a high-ranking knight in Liberta.

“That’s the Empire’s.”

He glanced at the flagpoles. amateur His aide responded:

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“What?”

“And who doesn’t know that? academy I mean the one next to it.”

He frowned.

“That’s Brusen’s.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

“Why are those stinking country bumpkins next to the Empire?”

“It seems it was based on order of arrival…”

“As you say.”

“Just seeing them gives me a headache. antique Their shiny armor looks like fish scales packed in a net.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 35: Meeting (1) by Indra Translations.

Yuri pulled a notepad and pencil from his pocket.

“No wonder I smelled fish the moment I arrived in Valshard.”
