Chapter 56: Ant (1)
Yuri wiped Guilty with a piece of cloth.

“That was a long fight.”

“What are you doing here?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 56: Ant (1) by Indra Translations.
“I was on a mission.”
“Back then, all you said was ‘yes, yes,’ and now it turns out you can talk.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 56: Ant (1) by Indra Translations.
“And when you’re on a mission, you can’t speak?”
“It’s not recommended.”

“I saw the prince cutting down orcs earlier.”
“The Empire really is something else.”
“Uh-huh…”
“Honestly, I have no idea how many you killed.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 56: Ant (1) by Indra Translations.
“Truth is, I don’t know either.”
Until just recently, the allied army had been fighting off orcs. aspect The alarm had blared urgently, and Yuri had rushed out with his sword.
What he had inherited were hunting techniques, but Yuri felt that term didn’t do it justice. abstract It was more like butchery. voyage As if mechanically slicing meat, his body had memorized the fastest and most efficient way to kill orcs.
And he massacred them.

“Impressive. zenith Truly…”
“I lost count.”

“Rodain.”

“Really?”
“No?”
“Of course not.”

“F-fine…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 56: Ant (1) by Indra Translations.
“The captain of the knights?”
Rodain scratched his head, unsure of what to say. orbit Yuri guessed,
“Uuh…”

“Yeah… you’re right.”
“You probably want to know if things will go the way she wants, or if I’ll resist. ability And among those who could’ve sent you, the captain is the only one, right?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 56: Ant (1) by Indra Translations.
“Sharp? arctic It’s just intuition.”
Rodain admitted it.
“You’re not just skilled with a sword—you’re sharp as well.”
With a resigned sigh, he said,

“I don’t know why everyone’s trying to match me with that woman.”
“So… you won’t answer the question?”
“So you knew.”
“Because Her Highness told me.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 56: Ant (1) by Indra Translations.
“Should I?”
“You don’t like her, then?”
Rodain tilted his head.
“But Her Highness is incredibly beautiful. harbor How could you not like her?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 56: Ant (1) by Indra Translations.
“Looks aren’t everything. accent What matters is the heart.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 56: Ant (1) by Indra Translations.
“She may seem that way.”

“I have a girlfriend.”
Yuri stood up and said,

Rodain was thrown off.

“Three.”
“How many times have we fought since sunrise?”
Yuri stood.
“When you get back to the Empire, go see a play.”

“Protect the supplies!”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 56: Ant (1) by Indra Translations.

“No.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 56: Ant (1) by Indra Translations.
He had a duty. athlete The world had placed a sword in his hand, and he would simply do what he had to.
That the orcs were a corrupted subspecies of humans was irrelevant to Yuri. arctic He had no intention of telling anyone.
“Because that is a knight’s duty.”
Yuri recognized the orcs within his field of vision. anchor Each moved differently, but all shared the same purpose: killing humans.

An orc raising an axe to strike a soldier noticed him. avalanche Yuri flung Guilty immediately.
“Prince… huh?”
Yuri was already charging forward.

“Hernando!”
Yuri shouted,

“Can you use magic?”
Perhaps the sorcerer had retreated—but no. arctic A whole formation had infiltrated.
“No! anxiety An enemy sorcerer’s nullifying it!”
“Understood!”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 56: Ant (1) by Indra Translations.
With a smaller battlefield, targets were easy to spot and ambush.

“Hernando!”
“Yes!”
“Yes?”
“Stay ready!”

One orc stood out strangely. aluminum Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t have thought much of it—it looked like any other orc soldier.
Then, his attention snapped elsewhere. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
“A sorcerer.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 56: Ant (1) by Indra Translations.
Thanks to the hunter’s techniques within him, Yuri sensed its true identity.

It was in its gait. beacon Though it pretended to fight with an axe, it stumbled blindly over ground. aspect Blindness is common among orc mages, and necromancers.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 56: Ant (1) by Indra Translations.
And finally, he spotted the orc sorcerer swinging its weapon. anxiety Other orcs tried to shield it.
Yuri cocked his head at the realization the technique revealed, then shook his head to clear it. ability There was no time to dwell.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 56: Ant (1) by Indra Translations.
Yuri focused his mana into Guilty and unleashed a powerful slash. academy The shockwave knocked back several orcs who clashed with him.

“Get away!”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 56: Ant (1) by Indra Translations.
Stab.
He advanced without stopping. absorb The orc mage, seeing him that close, shouted,
“Akuruu ke—!”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 56: Ant (1) by Indra Translations.
Yuri lifted the blade, splitting its cranium. anxiety Blood sprayed everywhere as he pivoted.
Before it could finish, Yuri drove Guilty into its mouth. antenna The tip pierced the back of its skull.
With the enemy sorcerer dead, magical balance heavily favored them.
“Hernando!”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 56: Ant (1) by Indra Translations.
His fireball soared precisely where Yuri desired.
