Chapter 124

"My...my limbs! Please help me Koiyaki! There's so much blood! You need to stop it!" 

"I can't! By the gods, I'm so sorry!" 

Two White Sparrow Knights squirmed in a pool of blood. Around them, their enemies and friends fell to the horde, all in hideous and terrifying ways. It seemed this force attacked indiscriminately and without mercy. Both sides were slaughtered despite putting up a fight. The earlier battle had taken much out of the soldiers and they were unprepared for this foe.

"Wait why are those green skins not attacking the soldiers of the Iron Rose!"

"What's happening!?" 

"Run!" 

As more and more blood was spilled, Kane rode onward. The orcs, goblins, and kobolds behind him took every chance to behead or impale the soldiers fleeing in every direction. 

"You bring abominations to do your battle!? How can you call yourself a knight?" spat Kakashi. 

"My King doesn't discriminate," laughed Galter. Although this forced a blood filled coughing fit.

"You sicken me! I will feed my flames with your corpse, your kings, and all those filthy savages!" 

"We both know your energy has been depleted! My king will have your head! And I will help fetch it for him!" Galter said as he charged forward.

"You have no chance! You will be another pitiful worm crushed under my foot!" 

"AND YOU ANOTHER KOKARIAN BATTLE MASTER KILLED BY MY HAND!" 

"WHAT!?"

Kane used the Seaton Spear art and threw his lance, imbued with every ounce of battle energy he had left, toward Kakshi. 

"NO!"

The lance passed through the torso of one unfortunate knight of Kokarian origin and made its way into the abdomen of General Kakashi. 

As the battle died down, the voices of injured men were silenced, the stink of organs permeated the air, and the hideous laughter of orcs and goblins brought shivers to any survivors left. 

"My lord you did it!" Galter looked as if he was staring into the eyes of god. The reverence was clear and Kane felt the many eyes on him hold the same fear that equals the same result. Submission to the Iron Rose Kingdom. 

"Yeah, but we're not done yet. Seems our friends our still breathing," Kane motioned toward where both General Kakashi and General Kanto lay on the ground. 

"What should we do with them, my lord?" 

"Let's gather up the bounty of this battle and round them up. I'll deal with them later. Get me a healer and let's set up camp. Make sure no one escapes. And don't forget to see to the wounded."

"Yes sir."

Kane sat down next to a goblin corpse and took in the beautiful sight of victory. He let himself give a sigh of relief now that it was finally over. Blood streamed down his face mixing with sweat as it made a lake on the ground. He removed the scraps of armor still left on his body and started to wrap up his many wounds. Any who looked on him would see a very large grin. 

[Congratulations on completing these quests.]

A list of rewards followed and Kane couldn't be more elated. 

"Nice."
