On the battlefield, there’s no time to express thoughts verbally. With magic spreading and monsters attacking, there was no time for such things.

When fear seized their bodies, words wouldn’t come out properly.

So, the Imperial Knights did not exchange unnecessary opinions, but they shared a common thought.

“Is there such a huge monster? Is the author the king of monsters?”

How could it be so big? It was an unknown monster, not mentioned in any records.

Dragonlord, having already set the entire fleet on the eastern coast ablaze, turned his gaze towards the Kataat city wall behind them.

“There or there.”

Hayden continued to keep the path open to Kataat.

In other words, the Calleta Imperial Army, including the Imperial Knights, had to fight without leaving the front of Kataat. No matter how much they advanced, they could only come as far as Hayden allowed.

In other words, whether Hayden was present or not, he was constantly participating in the battlefield.

Thanks to that, Dragonlord, who couldn’t go there in person, was able to see the Kataat city wall, where tens of thousands were pushed in, directly.

“So many must have died there.”

It was truly a futile act, but it couldn’t be helped.

Dragonlord Melphyrus, who had defended the Perseta Empire alone, bowed his head for a moment. In fact, thinking was a fleeting moment that didn’t last more than a second. It would be foolish to let one’s guard down after putting up with someone like Carlos for 430 years.

“Fire…!”

During Carlos’s momentary surprise, Dragonlord’s tremendous flame engulfed the entire coast.

The eternal flames covered the Calleta Imperial Army, but Carlos, before speaking, had already blocked it with the magic he had already spread.

“It’s fire, prepare!”

“To the coast!”

To the coast, go. Dragonlord Melphyrus was curious about how far Hayden would allow them.

Well, anywhere in the east didn’t matter. This was the east, the land and sea beloved by the Eastern Sage and under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Sage.

“Move, can’t you move? Why?”

Carlos, while being wary of Dragonlord, hurriedly tried to find a way to move the Imperial Knights, but before he could do that, Dragonlord’s attack was faster.

“Welcome to the east, Carlos Arthur Ingram. Has it been 430 years since the rebellion?”

And Dragonlord’s voice, as large as his body, resonated clearly beyond the Kataat city wall.

“Don’t be swayed by that voice. You might see illusions or hallucinations.”

“Yes!”

But Carlos, who had experience dealing with Calleta people, treated those words simply as illusions or twisted sounds.

The loyalty of the Calleta Empire to the Emperor had been solid for 430 years. Of course, it was a result of completely rooting out the rebellious ones in the early stages.

“Attack! Aim for the eyes!”

Arrows imbued with magic were aimed at Dragonlord’s eyes and poured down.

“It’s the eyes! Shoot the eyes!”

Attacking the eyes when dealing with monsters was basic. The knights did what they usually did.

In fact, if it wasn’t for that, there was no other way.

In an instant, arrows with terrifying flames aimed at Dragonlord’s eyes.

“Interesting.”

In the voice that popped out of the old memory, Carlos gritted his teeth.

Involuntarily, the time when he was not something unique or special, just ‘one of the four,’ came to mind. So, he didn’t like Perseta.

There is a suspicion that my appearance might be an illusion.

The voice that vibrated the heavens and earth deeply penetrated the hearts of the Imperial Knights.

I have to block that mouth, make them not hear, find a place to move, block the attack at the same time.

Carlos was truly annoyed in the midst of a battle he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
“How am I supposed to know where my eyes are?”

However, before Carlos could block the ears of the Imperial Knights, the Dragonlord’s resonant voice had already settled.

Indeed. Where could my eyes be? If that figure is an illusion, what is the real form? Everyone was unsettled.

“It’s not an illusion.”

A powerful voice seized the attention of the Imperial Knights.

“That figure is the real body, so pull yourself together.”

A supremely calm voice, devoid of panic or any sign of hesitation, resonated clearly to all the members of the Imperial Knights.

They are with the great Emperor. The Imperial Knights, who had momentarily forgotten this fact, regained their strength.

“What disgrace before His Majesty, pull yourself together!”

“Have you tried catching one or two monsters, attack!”

The current attacks pouring towards Dragonlord Melfyrus were incomparable to the attacks he had received when he defeated the Svenia and Negeret Allied Rebellion just before.

No, the Eastern noble fleet, which had already been annihilated, couldn’t even execute a decent attack.

Melfyrus dealt with the disdain for the ancient nobles in a very violent and swift manner.

Since it happened on the eastern coast, the Eastern noble clans who witnessed that scene were packing up and fleeing. Vice Admiral Burdin, who had made tracking extremely easy, would take care of it.
