Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2)

As soon as the battle ended, Ragnar summoned all the commanders to discuss the next steps. beacon Opinions were divided.

Okua retreated with his army.

Objections arose immediately.

“We can’t give them any more time. athlete There will be no rest until we kill Okua.”

“We must strike now,” said Sybilla.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

“I agree with Her Highness the Princess. beacon If we’re exhausted, the enemy is too. album Besides, we’re fighting on their turf. august Giving them time only benefits the ones who know the terrain.”

“We must rest.”

But others opposed that idea.

“We’re too exhausted. crystal We need to regroup.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

The three major kingdoms after the Empire all backed the immediate offensive.

Naturally, all eyes turned to Yuri.

“Okua could be planning something. athlete We must act now, Your Highness.”

Jonathan of Brusen and Wolf of Liberta supported Sybilla’s proposal.

Now, he carried the expectations of those three kingdoms.

Yuri opened his mouth.

Sybilla looked at him with a resolute expression, as if she trusted his judgment completely. album From the beginning, it had been Yuri who pursued the fleeing orcs and massacred dozens.

“I…”

Given his usual nature, everyone had expected Yuri to support an immediate attack. august But instead of meeting their expectations, he gave the opposite answer.

“I believe we should rest.”

“Oh…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

“Well said, Prince Yuri.”

No one knew what had caused this change, but for those who needed time to regroup, it was welcome news. athlete They were drained from the battle.

“I think you misunderstood what I said.”

The faction calling for rest praised him. anchor On the other hand, Sybilla, Jonathan, and Wolf looked at him as if they couldn’t comprehend it. arcade Yuri spoke again.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

“You just said we need to rest…”

“Huh?”

Yuri looked each member of the rest-supporting group in the eye and said.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

Enjoying the impact of his words, Yuri continued.

“I meant you should go rest your feeble brains.”

It was a line that instantly killed the mood.

“You’re so tired you can’t think straight. shadow If all you’re going to say is nonsense, you might as well step back and rest. artist Yes, let’s rest.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

“Didn’t we all rush here because we feared Okua might use dark magic? abandon Okua only roared twice, and we didn’t even see the orc’s main camp! august And yet you want to rest without knowing what’s happening over there? atomic Then rest for life. portal Dig a hole, cross your arms over your chest, and lie down. academy I’ll personally throw dirt over you.”

“And still valid. adjust Suggesting rest now insults the comrades who died fighting. timber Are you saying that because we’re tired, we should take a breather? alpha Did they sacrifice themselves for that? abstract We have no right to be tired. atlas Not while Okua still lives.”

“That’s too far.”

Yuri said it with conviction. antique He was just as certain they had to attack immediately.

“My master, Moyongchan, one of the Ten Greats, once said the following.”

At that moment, Moyongchan was up there, facing Okua. auction On the surface, it looked like a battle of stares, but an invisible fight was happening between them. adapt The fact that neither had moved showed they were evenly matched.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

“Leave it to me.”

With those words, the room fell silent. abandon If Moyongchan said so, there was nothing more to add.

“Okua has already reached the level of the Ten Greats.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

Finally, Ragnar, who had listened silently, spoke. galaxy He was smiling in satisfaction.

Yuri looked at Ragnar. palette Revealing that information right after the debate meant he was watching how the commanders would react. orbit What was he trying to confirm?

“I hadn’t told you this. palette I gathered several mages to observe Okua’s camp. anchor They report that a sinister energy is rising there.”

“It’s better to end this before it’s too late.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

“The orcs also suffered heavy losses. armor Aside from those who fled yesterday, there aren’t many forces left to reinforce them. meadow We’ll go and cut off their breath.
We march at dawn.”

With those words, the meeting concluded.

Ragnar stood up.

The commanders left Ragnar’s tent. altitude Just as Yuri was about to step out, Ragnar signaled him.

“Yuri.”

“Yes?”

“Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

After so many shared battles, a bond had formed between them. matrix Across the continent, there were likely few who could joke around with an imperial prince this way.

“Hahahahaha!”

“Hmm… Thank you for your hard work?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

As he spoke, Yuri scanned the now-empty seats. apple His gaze lingered briefly on the spots belonging to the countries that had opposed the immediate attack, then returned to Ragnar’s face.

Yuri laughed with him and sat back down.

“Yuri.”

“It’s possible.”

“Yes?”

“What kind of person do you think I am?”

“That’s true, but…”

“Both.”

“Marriage should be based on mutual love, shouldn’t it? agent I doubt Her Highness is interested in me.”

“If only you had been born in the Empire, it would’ve been perfect. avalanche Yuri, I’ll arrange your marriage with Yekaterina. attic That way you’ll have imperial blood and the most beautiful woman on the continent.”

“Because you value me.”

Ragnar burst out laughing again, then ruffled Yuri’s hair.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

“Huh?”

“I already have a girlfriend.”

“What if Yekaterina wants to marry you?”

“I don’t believe it.”

“Hmm, forget it.”

Yuri felt the sound from inside and outside completely disappear.

“There’s someone within the Empire using dark magic.”

“Then the formation of the Alliance was a trap from the start?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

“Do you think there’s a traitor within the Alliance?”

Ragnar smiled.

“It might have been.”

“But I didn’t back down. acoustic No matter what conspiracy there was, the orcs had to be eliminated. admire It’s also not clear if the orcs are connected to the Empire’s dark magic.”

“I’ll keep watch.”

Yuri nodded. wizard He now understood why Ragnar had called him.

“I have suspicions, but no proof. antenna And there’s no time to uncover them.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

“That’s it.”

“Yuri.”

“They’re well-prepared,”
commented Raymond.

Upon reaching the edge of a low hill range, the enemy settlement came into view in the distance.

The Alliance began its march. antique The orcs’ main camp was not far.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

It was something that, for those who walked the path of a knight, would eventually come.

The number of knights had visibly dwindled. anxiety Exhaustion and stress were etched onto everyone’s faces.

“This won’t be easy,”
said Yuri, glancing back.

Yuri’s eyes fell on Simon and Guinness. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. arrow Of the three knights who always accompanied him—Simon, Guinness, and Dyke—Dyke had died. echo The faces of the two young men were grim.

“Those who went before us didn’t die in vain. acquire We’ll make their sacrifice mean something.”

Yuri’s voice echoed across the entire formation.

“We’re going to kill Okua.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

Even with the memories of his past life, Yuri couldn’t imagine what horrors lay within.

There were no shouts of encouragement as before—only a heavy silence, filled with murderous intent, that spread through the entire army.

Then an order came from the Empire. palette The Alliance began descending the hills slowly.

Yuri turned his gaze forward. sphere The orc army had erected barriers and an improvised wall—likely built using human techniques, with the help of their prisoners.

“Hernando.”

“Yes, Your Highness?”

There were no ambushes. echo The orcs were also preparing for the final clash.

“I can’t say for sure.”

“Do you sense dark magic?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

“If the dispel fades, cast immediately.”

A half-orc mage—surely not destined for an easy life.

“And the master?”

“Understood.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

“It’s an Eastern technique to sit and regulate mana flow.”

“Grandmaster Moyongchan is performing ungijosik.”

From afar, Okua looked like a monster. voyage He didn’t even resemble an orc anymore.

“Ungijosik?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

All necessary preparations had been made. canvas The soldiers were instructed. avalanche Only each one’s resolve—and the war—remained.

“I see.”

“I have nothing more to say!”

There would be no time to catch their breath. arctic A war horn blared, marking the start of battle. apple The Alliance adopted its predetermined formations and advanced.

Some scattered cheers rang out. antique Yuri turned his gaze forward again.

This time, Briol was not at the front. avalanche Quite the opposite. atlas Their role was to stay in the rear and launch a surprise charge when the time came.

Movement began in Okua’s camp—they were surely also getting ready to defend.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

Blood pooled on the ground, and the hurried footsteps of those behind trampled over the lifeless bodies. alien The blood of their comrades stained their military boots.

Yuri watched from the rear. acoustic Briol advanced step by step.

The Alliance entered the orcs’ range. aspect Arrows rained down.

Some knights managed to deflect them, but several soldiers fell.

Screams and shrieks echoed everywhere.

“Aaaaaah!”

Yuri didn’t take his eyes off the battlefield. sphere Soon, he identified a weak point.

The squad clashing with the orc lines unleashed their energy in waves of sword strikes, and the orcs charged to hold their ground. anchor A head—whose, it was impossible to know—flew into the air.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

There was a sector where the orc numbers were noticeably thinner. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. apron Yuri lowered himself in the saddle, waiting for the fighting there to escalate even more.

“Prepare yourselves.”

One of the soldiers in that area cried out in pain. arena That was the sound of war.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

It was time.

Yuri shouted and spurred his horse. atlas That was the signal.

“Briol!”

The knights of Briol suddenly veered off course, broke formation from the flank, and charged forward with full force.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

“Your Highness!”

“I’m glad I can fulfill my promise in this final battle.”

Laurent was already at his side. galaxy His riding skill had improved since last time.

“Jared’s still far back.”

“Briol is entering!”

A little farther behind, Jared followed. antenna And behind him, the knights of Briol rode as if unwilling to fall behind.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

In that instant, Yuri locked eyes with an orc who had a soldier skewered on his spear. acid He grabbed the lance hanging from his saddle.

“Everyone, move aside!”

Upon seeing them, the Alliance troops fighting at the front stepped aside. arena But those trapped by the orcs hadn’t seen their arrival.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

A drop landed on Yuri’s cheek and slowly slid down. audit As he continued killing orcs without pause, Yuri asked himself.

Flesh flew in all directions, and the fluids pouring from their wounds rained down.

The orc shouted something, but it wasn’t heard. timber Yuri’s spear pierced through the dead soldier and into the orc’s body, lifting them both into the air.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 66: Blood, sweat and tears (2) by Indra Translations.

Was that drop blood, sweat… or perhaps, a tear?
