Chapter 109: The Great Banquet (1)
Hugo Les Baskerville.
The iron-blooded swordsman who rules Baskerville.
One of the seven pillars that support the Rock of the Great Empire.
In recognition of his great contributions to the unification of the continent's powers into a single empire, he was awarded the Star of Swords, and was knighted as a Marquis, at the age of fifty.
About a decade had passed since then.
Hugo was a man with literally iron blood and a furnace heart.
He drove the rampaging barbarians far beyond the borders of the country and wiped out over a hundred species of demonic creatures.
His exploits, and the power that made them possible, gave him a tight grip on the center of power.
Countless Baskerville hounds had been sacrificed along the way, but Hugo didn't care.
Hugo was a man who, once set on a path, never looked back.
... but.
