Chapter 266: Noble Captive
New chapter of The Demon King is out! (1/2 chapters)
I assembled a pursuit unit centered around the remaining cavalry and sending them in pursuit. Then, I checked the damage situation and climbed the hill while congratulating my subordinates. The experimental cannon, which had the final task of destroying the gates of Kurtos, finally stopped breathing and was now resting.
As I climbed the mountain path, it was cleared of obstacles since the battle had ended. I saw traces of fierce combat and the carcass of a dragon. Several broken spears protruded from its body, covered in green scales. The ropes attached to the base of the spears were tied to the trees behind it, as if trying to pull it off the gun line.
It seemed to have worked effectively. It looked like the shafts of the spears broke under the weight of the falling dragon, but that was inevitable.
If you make the shaft of a long spear thick and sturdy, it becomes too heavy for a human to handle.
“Your Excellency!” (Krikohl)
“Oh, Krikohl. Were you unharmed?” (Yuri)
The man who called out to me was named Krikohl, a man who had just become a soldier. Originally, he was involved in development as an employee of Hou Company, but he joined the military as an instructor to create an artillery unit on short notice. He wass supposed to be the highest-ranking officer of the artillery unit.
“It was a big deal. What is that?” (Krikohl)
