Chapter 16: Bizzare Showdown

" So you're telling me that all this stated in the reports are correct? nothing was falsely stated in here? " He asked, his voice etched with authority, sitted magestically on his throne, located in the Nebula Capital of the Reinhart Dukedom.

Roseville Castle, the domain of the Duke.

And the man sitted magestically on the throne, with his legs crossed, his gaze were fixed on the paper he was given, his head rested on his fist when he turned his gaze, focusing his attention on the man standing before him.

Silver haired and black eyed, He is the patriach of the Reinhart Family, Duke Erald Reinhart, a man regarded as the sword of the Vahallan Empire and ranked in the top ten swordmasters of the Empire.

And the man who stands before him is his butler, Geran Fruze!

" That's correct, it's impossible for a falsified report to be sent to you, I confirmed the authenticity before bringing it to you, everything stated in that report is the truth " Geran answered.

He bowed his head before the Duke.

" Hmmm, to think my son who was regarded as the defect amongst my children and a disgrace of the Reinhart Family would be capable of doing something like this, It's quite shocking, don't you think? Geran " Duke Erald asked.

Geran took a deep breath when he bowed his head before his Lord.

" As the head butler of the Dukedom, there isn't much I can say, I'm as suprised as you are, the Senate aren't the type who lies, they confirmed it with their eyes when they sent three Senators to verify the rumors "

" Not only did the tenth young master used the sword but he was able to manifest his own battle pressure " Geran explained, and a smirk escaped the lips of the Duke.

" I heard that to, even though the senators aren't the type to tell lies but I find it hard to believe, amongst my children, only five are able to exert their battle pressure and make use of their own world "

" Tell me.... what's ongoing in that land? " Duke Erald questioned.

" Based on my reports, after the tenth young master took back his power from the five executives, he beheaded them personally while the rest of the corrupt government officials were hanged "

" He created his own adminstration and he is going to war against the Ravarns, a tribe of northern normads who came to the west, the tenth young master plans on taking back his stolen land "

Geran reported!

" Sure I know that already, what do you think? Geran, I heard amongst the Ravarns, their current leader is quite strong....he is in a different realm since he reached the fifth star stage, do you think the tenth young master could win? " Duke Erald asked.

" No, I doubt it..... reaching the fifth star means he is on a different level entirely "

" Although I've heard alot that's currently ongoing, the fact that the tenth young master trapped a Ravarn general in the Werlock Castle and killed him alongside the four thousand soldiers he brought with him "

" He may be more crafty than I imagined " Geran answered.

" Sure, the ceremonial welcome event is reaching, I'm certain you've reminded all the young masters to return back, and for the daughter of the Ramon Duchy, she will be brought into the Nebula Capital "

" It will be tragic if she got caught in the bloodshed that's ongoing in that land "

[Meanwhile]

[Location: Werlock Castle]

" to think the capital would send a letter to remind me of the welcoming ceremony huh? I guess it can't be stopped, I should finish the war and unify the land quickly " Kyle said, he folded the letter after reading it.

He is currently holding a meeting with his soldiers and knights!

After he took back power, Kyle was smart enough to divide the army into two, one to be solely loyal to him, he referred to them as the black corps, they comprises of both soldiers and knights and they reach five hundred.

The Black Corps are his private army!!

Amongst the Black Corps, he chose three knights from the knight corp and three commanding soldiers from the army platoon to serve in the military of the Rutherford Barony until he returned back.

the rest stays leaving the Black Corps with him.

" My liege, we were able to track the movements of the normads until this forest, the Jundam forest is their current fortress, they will cross the river in a few hours and will reach us " Ser Austin voiced out.

A three star knight and one of the co-leaders of the Black Corps, the rest who are present here are Ser Callian and Ser Jiyer, those are the selected three from the Black Corps and they are all three stars.

All holding different sword techniques passed to them by Kyle Reinhart.

Kyle's special commanding soldiers are Dylan, Tyrion and Saige, amongst them, only Dylan is a four star and a sword expert, he was able to reach this level thanks to the special training of Kyle Reinhart.

He is Kyle's favorite amongst the soldiers for his tendency to be perfectly mad and brutal!

" We can lay a trap to intercept them, a trap would be better since they outnumber our forces greatly " Ser Austin added!

" We are mighty warriors who received the blessings of the Baron, why do we have to low ourselves by setting a trap? we can simply crush them " Tyrion questioned!

" Major Tyrion, the one leading the armies of the normads is the beast slayer Abraka, he just recently transcended and entered the fifth star, and he is accompanied by his generals as well "

" We do not need to go to war directly with them, We are simply fighting to take back the stolen land " Ser Tristan voiced out, they all turned their attentions towards the man standing besides the sitted Baron.

Ser Tristan is the supreme commander of the Black Corps.

" What should we do? my liege? " Ser Tristan asked, facing Baron Kyle who lets out a sigh, relaxing his back comfortably on his throne, He yawned softly!

" There isn't much to discuss tho, I've come to a conclusion, the Black Corps needs three things, knights, soldiers and mages..... amongst the Ravarns is their chief priest and as reported, she is a necromancer "

" I will be the one who personally handles her since we do not have any mage, Ser Tristan....you have crossed the fifth stage right? you recently became a five star knight, can you defeat their lord? " Kyle asked.

" I'm not certain since I haven't fought him before but I can say it, if it was the past me.....I would have died but the current me is different, thanks to you....I'm a being whose strength is beyond understanding "

" If we fight, as you have commanded.....I will bring you his head " Ser Tristan answered.

" Good, that's the perfect answer that I needed, since I don't need to unnecessary waste the lives of this land's military and knight order, I will be making use of the Black Corps to wipe those normads out "

" And since we are short on numbers, things like traps is perfect, we are no saints....this is war after all " Baron Kyle declared.

" Dylan will be in charge of the infantry force since he is one of my favorite mad dogs, I can trust his thirst for bloodshed and chaos, Ser Tristan....bring me Abraka's head " Kyle declared when he stood up.

Everyone fell on their knees and bowed their heads before him.

[That Night]

After a few hours of traveling and crossing the borders they built, they arrived at the entrance of the Rutherford Barony, blending with the darkened sky, the night fell upon everyone and everything.

One could taste the tension in the air.

Abraka Del Rosso is sitted on his brown horse, facing the direction of the walls built after seperating the lands of the Rutherford Barony, he brought along a total ten thousand normadic soldiers.

" My soldiers, tonight we destroy those who savagery killed our brothers, we burn their farmlands, kill their men and use their women to satisfy our pleasures, they will beg for mercy and we will turn deaf ears to them, march forward my soldiers, march forward and destroy them all "

Lord Abraka screamed out, the chanting noises of the normadic became louder.

And the horsemen charged forward, making their way towards the Rutherford walls but little do they know what's about to happen, a night full of horrors!

******

A power of pitch black covered the atmosphere, darkening space itself, Kyle who is spotted sitted magestically in his dinning room, devouring his meals quickly stopped eating when he turned his gaze.

His eyes suddenly glowed brightly.

" the fury of the Primordial Death, to think you would draw out the death spirit in other to make sure you destroy us, Necromancer....i envy your determination but it's not my job to deal with a fury "

" I have Enzerath! " Kyle spoke out, he giggled evily when space itself became pitch black, and Enzerath was unleashed, burning through space itself, a pair of darkened red eyes appeared on the air.
