Chapter 39: The Martial Arts Tournament (5)
“Enemy cavalry is launching a surprise attack from the rear! Hold formation!”
Under the Moonlight Palace captain’s command, the knights moved in flawless unison.
After breaking through the knights of the Royal Prince’s army—one of the Emperor’s nephews—they aimed to seize the next high ground.
It was an ideal position to scout the entire battlefield.
“That northern knight’s pretty tough.”
“She’s been leading the charge solo since the ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) start. No wonder she won the individual match.”
“I heard she’s from the Gotberg Marquisate. Thought they only raised healers, but I guess that house breeds talent.”
The Emperor watched Tanya and exchanged impressions with his fellow royal princes.
“She seems very loyal to the Marquisate. If they can field a knight like that, then Gotberg’s heir must be quite the youth.”
“Wasn’t he appointed personal physician to the Third Princess?”
“Anyone who can cast blessings over an entire knight corps must be the real deal.”
Dust clouds billowed across the battlefield in the wake of a heated clash.
