The Vastness of Magical Destiny

Seeing that everyone’s attention had been drawn to himself, Komer took the opportunity to introduce Rebry and his entourage.

After Rebry and Mihailovich demonstrated some beginner Star Magic and earth-based magic, the so-called rebel leaders were already fully convinced, prostrating themselves in admiration.

The Half-beastman warriors, who prided themselves on their martial arts, couldn’t believe their eyes after witnessing the two Dark Knights perform their acrobatic feats. Whether it was the Knight Spears cutting deep fissures into the earth, or the long swords slicing through giant trees with ease, it all made the martial arts of the Half-beastman warriors seem like child’s play.

Words backed by strength possess the most persuasive power. After witnessing the abilities of Komer’s guests, the beastmen willingly handed over their command of military forces.

With the help of the two Dark Knights, Komer conducted a major purge of the more than 30,000 armed slaves. Over 20,000 were disbanded, leaving only a combat force of 9,000.

This force of 9,000 underwent a crash course in the simplest military training, then were made to experience a magic attack up close. In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

Ever since Leon’s uprising began to grow, Balmore felt an ill premonition.

He did not know if his premonition was accurate, but he became more convinced of it as Leon’s rebellion grew increasingly more intense, even defeating the Noble private soldiers owned by the local Aristocratic Mine Owners.

The speed at which the rebel armed forces swelled could only be described as rapid, and information from all sides indicated they were receiving substantial support in the form of weapons and food. In Bruce, a blockade against these supplies had been in effect for quite some time. This meant that there must be some force backing the rebellion.
