Chapter 51

It was 3’O clock in the afternoon .  The warmth of the early winter’s sunlight felt good .  I was enjoying a leisurely cup of tea at a place where the vantage point was great for viewing the battle field .





Down below, the two factions, the Wild Hog Rock Faction and the Thunderbolt Tree Faction, were busy getting ready for the battle .  As they were nocturnal by nature, 3’O clock in the afternoon would be like an early morning for them .

I suppose it would be like 3’O clock in the morning for the humans .  To see them gathered like this with their tools, at such an early morning, it wasn’t too hard to see how excited they were .

These two factions have been looking for the right time to clash to begin with .  Internally, I was certain that there were many of them who thought that it was for the best .

“Kura moost kumora hudan harasah (Listen, you cowards who hit and run)!”

A good sized Orc, from the Thunderbolt Tree Faction, stepped forward and began to taunt the opposition .  In response, a pair of Ogres, from the Wild Hog Rock Faction, stepped forward and yelled back .

The both sides got loud, and the area was filled with vulgarity and screaming .  It was an act to keep their, own respective sides charged up before the battle .  It was followed with the sounding of the battle drums as part of the war ceremony .   The sound of drums was deafening .

It was like watching a battle of the primitive men .  There were extended periods of time during which they exchanged verbal assaults, or performed other ceremonies before the fight began in earnest .  In the process, the sun was already setting slowly in the west .

This was why they gathered so early .  It seemed that the battle would begin after the sunset .





Zzzz- .  Zzzz-,

Right at that moment, the ring vibrated again .  It was Kubalt .  Gosh, this man has nothing to do, calling so often?

-Your highness .

-Valer, how is it going?

-Thanks to the gods, I’m doing fine

-Ha, ha!  You’re making a joke that is very unlike of you .  I called to let you know of some information that I obtained today .

Kubalt had good news to tell me .  It was about the internal disputes within the Rajter Knight Family .  As Walpurgis has proposed an unlikely compromise as I requested, there formed, two conflicting factions, one urging to accept the proposal and the other pushing to go all the way to the end as the emperor wished .

The strategy to buy time was working quite well .   Walpurgis, by principle, would never agree to a degrading compromise, but not knowing this, the Rajter Knight Family has taken the bait and was squabbling internally .

-Thank you for taking the time to let me know .





-I just figured that you would like the news .  Um, but I hear loud noises in the background?

The two factions have clashed in earnest .  With the loud shouts that would blow away the mountains, they were pushing towards each others’ directions in waves .

-Ah, I’m watching a group tournament .  The Wild Hog Rock Faction and the Thunderbolt Tree Faction are clashing with each other .  This is the main event of the day .


-Ha-ha, that must be a sight to see .  Even the team names are entertaining .  Which team did you bet on?  You wouldn’t say that you do not know how to make bets, would you?

-Hahaha .  How could I not know, your highness?

I told Kubalt that my bet was on both teams losing .  Then he thought that was odd .

-It is quite rare for both teams to lose in a group tournament?  Is there such a case?

-With unusual maneuvers, it would be possible .

-You must have bet that both teams will disqualify with penalties then?  I would think the odd of that happening would be very low .  You seem to be clear cut when it comes to gambling .





-Hahaha .  All that need to be done is to increase the odds .

That was right .  The method was to increase the odds .  Quietly waiting for a game to end was not my style .  After engaging in some more small talks, we hung up .  Then as if he has been waiting, Krulark appeared from behind me .  As soon as the sun has set, he, who was a vampire, became active .

“Winter must be the vampires’ favorite season since the sun sets this early . ”

“This is the first time that I’ve welcomed winter after I’ve become a vampire, but now that I heard what you just said, it truly seems that way . ”

“Do welcome many more winters from now on . ”

I asked whether the troops were ready .  Currently, there were 70 undead under my command .  I told them to get ready for the battle when the sun sets .

“Certainly .  Are you looking for the right time to attack them?”

Krulark asked as he watched the two factions engaging in a fierce fight .  I shook my head .

“That would be pushing it .  At a glance, there are more than 1 thousand .  Even if when they are exhausted, there is too much of a gap in the headcounts . ”

“We are all prepared to die for you . ”

“I appreciate everyone’s determination, but if they discover us, the undead, they will stop fighting .  The dead beings have the power to even bringing the enemies together . ”

Even if they were invincible forces, jumping into the midst of 1 thousand demon tribe members would cause them to instantly melt away .  There was never an intention to jump them even if they were all exhausted .

“Then what would you do?  I only follow your orders as I am slow witted . ”

“There is a simpler maneuver in this type of situation .  Krulark, I hope that you will learn my ways going forward . ”

“Please to teach me . ”

Getting up from my chair, I walked towards Philip .  Then a vampire knelt on his four, offering his back .  I stepped on his back and got on the horse .

“The most interesting thing about any war is in launching a raid on the unattended headquarters .  While they are too preoccupied with the clash, we will go around the empty villages .  Mostly non combatants will remain in the villages .  They will be completely annihilated . ”
