“Sir Graham.”
“That too…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 43: The Black Dog (2) by Indra Translations.

“Our Cory…?”
Nervously, Cory jumped to Graham’s defense.

“Do it.”
Yuri moved ahead.

“Orcs let the bodies rot after eating them.”

Yuri came to a sudden stop.

“Stop!”
“Pardon?”
“Hold.”

“Understood…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 43: The Black Dog (2) by Indra Translations.

“Yes.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 43: The Black Dog (2) by Indra Translations.
Yuri’s squad, always tasked with the most dangerous missions, had done just that.

Yuri returned to base and reported to Ragnar.

“What do you suggest?”
“You think you can do it?”
“We’ll climb and clear them out.”

The allied army halted at a safe distance and launched arrows upward. riddle The orcs occupying the area scattered.

Yuri shed some gear and stood before the cliff with his squad.

Their shields were bristling with arrows like porcupines.

“What are you waiting for?”
“Come at me, bastards.”

“Damn it…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 43: The Black Dog (2) by Indra Translations.
“Briol!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 43: The Black Dog (2) by Indra Translations.
The mana from his Soul and Heart Slash writhed like a living thing.
“Akurakkai! abstract Akumetum!”
Several orcs charged at once. alpha With each battle, Yuri’s senses sharpened. album He sensed the blades flying toward him.
He sidestepped and swung Guilty.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 43: The Black Dog (2) by Indra Translations.

“Are you guys coming up or not?!”

As soon as they reached the top, they were greeted by orcs and unsheathed their swords immediately.

Just then, two people arrived—Laurent and Jared.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 43: The Black Dog (2) by Indra Translations.
Yuri stepped in to assist one in trouble.
“The terrain is tight! atomic Use the geography!”
Orcs couldn’t be beaten by brute force alone. armor Knights who traded blows with them were often pushed back.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 43: The Black Dog (2) by Indra Translations.
“Careful.”
An enraged orc lunged at Yuri. auction It looked like Yuri would take the hit, but he deflected the blow.
“Thank you!”
“This is how it’s done.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 43: The Black Dog (2) by Indra Translations.

“It’s not over yet. arctic Weapons ready!”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 43: The Black Dog (2) by Indra Translations.

“Yes, sir!”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 43: The Black Dog (2) by Indra Translations.
They were ready: between the palisades stood sharp logs in a dense formation.
With his view now clear, he could see the orc fortress in the distance. afford It was Kurui Fortress—their next target.
Yuri reached the cliff’s edge with no path left to climb. arena He had fully taken the high ground.
“Phew…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 43: The Black Dog (2) by Indra Translations.
“What do you think? arcade Can you take on that many orcs?”

“Well, that’s true.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 43: The Black Dog (2) by Indra Translations.
“Aren’t you racking up a few too many merits?”

Sybilla approached and spoke to him.

“See you later.”

Asana pointed toward a wall—the direction of the orc army.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 43: The Black Dog (2) by Indra Translations.
“It’s the opposite.”
“He’s cooperating with the orcs?”
“He’s not an orc, but he’s with them.”

“A prisoner?”
Asana replied calmly.
“He’s a prisoner.”

“It seems he tried to infiltrate, but with the arrival of the allied army, security has tightened. academy Even so, he might try again. wizard What should we do?”
“He must have some objective.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 43: The Black Dog (2) by Indra Translations.
The enemy of your enemy is your ally.

“What is it?”

“I’d prefer to protect the prince.”
