Chapter 295: War is Boring, But This Wedding Might Be Interesting
In a remote area in the southwest of the Valepis mountain range, two strange armies, totaling more than ten thousand fighters, were engaged in a bloody battle under the scorching midday sun.
The curious thing about these forces was that, on both sides, there were people capable of releasing elemental energy through magic staffs or swords.
Explosive flames, ice spikes capable of piercing armor, whirlwinds that launched bodies into the air... These abilities caused countless low-ranking soldiers to die in gruesome ways, leaving behind disfigured corpses or bodies covered in blood and twisted metal. The battlefield was transformed into a spectacle of colorful lights and incessant thunderous sounds.
"So this is magic? It looks... pretty boring." From the side of a nearby hill, Biba watched the war with an indifferent smile. He had expected something more impressive from his first battle in another world, but what he saw was nothing to write home about.
Beside him, Chelsea and Tucker nodded in agreement.
Only Knight Ander looked at them without understanding.
He, on the other hand, had his eyes fixed on the battle. Anger consumed him, wanting to rush into combat and exterminate these traitors who had sold out his homeland. However, his sense of duty reminded him that his most important mission at the moment was to escort these powerful adventurers to the crown prince.
As a knight of the royal guard, Ander knew all too well how desperate Prince Wales's situation was.
Right now, they only controlled the southernmost region of the kingdom of Albion, a territory that barely represented a tenth of the entire nation.
Furthermore, there was another curious detail about these outsiders: they did not understand the Halkeginian language.
For Ander, this was not a problem, but just another reason to trust them. After all, if they did not speak the local language, they could hardly be spies for the enemy.
