Dawn of Vengeance — Chapter 50

WHAT?

COULD IT REALLY FREEZE A HUMAN TOO?

YOUR MAJESTY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT!

I... MY VOICE ISN'T COMING OUT PROPERLY.

ARE YOU INJURED ANYWHERE?

Is it because my body is in shock...?

...I WAS JUST A BIT STARTLED, THAT'S ALL.

ARE YOU OKAY?

TO THINK IT WOULD BOLT OUT LIKE THAT IN SUCH A SHORT TIME...!

I AM FINE, BUT ZEN...

ZEN.

YOUR MAJESTY, I AM SO SORRY..!

I...

I...!

TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.

GRAND GENERAL, LOOK OVER THERE!

MY HOME...!

THE VILLAGE HAS BEEN RAZED TO THE GROUND!

-!

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SAFE SINCE IT WAS FAR FROM THE BORDER..

HOW..

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN.

PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER, ZEN.

EVEN WITH THE FIRE, LYCANS ARE FAST AND AGILE; THEY WOULD HAVE ESCAPED.

SEARCH THE PERIMETER WHILE THE FIRE DIES DOWN.

THE ONES WHO DID THIS TO THE VILLAGE MIGHT STILL BE NEARBY.

YOUR MAJESTY IS RIGHT.

I CAN SENSE HOSTILITY COMING FROM THE VILLAGE ENTRANCE.

ZEN. WHIS WILL BE HERE WITH THE SOLDIERS SOON,

SO TAKE HER MAJESTY AND WAIT FURTHER INSIDE THE FOREST.

ARE YOU GOING ALONE?

THERE AREN'T MANY OF THEM, SO I'LL FINISH UP AND RETURN QUICKLY.

UNTIL I GET BACK,

DO NOT LEAVE THE SOLDIERS' SIDE.

IS IT REALLY ALL RIGHT TO SEND THE GRAND GENERAL ALONE?

WHAT IF SOMEONE IS LYING IN AMBUSH?

HE SAID THERE AREN'T MANY,

SO THERE WON'T BE MANY.

NO, DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE HIM JUST LIKE THAT?

IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAVE INTEL OR DID A RECONNAISSANCE.

DAWN MUST HAVE SENSED THEIR KILLING INTENT.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, YOUR MAJESTY?

I'M FINE.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT DID YOU SAY DAWN DOES?

IT IS SAID THAT WHEN ONE HOLDS DAWN,

THEY CAN TELL HOW MANY ARE ATTACKING AND FROM WHICH DIRECTION.

THERE IS SUCH A RIDICULOUS FUNCTION?

DIDN'T YOU ALREADY KNOW?

I THOUGHT THAT WAS WHY YOU SENT THE GRAND GENERAL TO THE KIEL DUCHY ALONE BEFORE.

OH, THAT. BACK THEN...

WALTER SAID IT WOULD BE BETTER TO GO ALONE THAN TO ASSEMBLE A HALF-BAKED UNIT.

IT WAS THE GRAND GENERAL'S JUDGMENT, SO I JUST AGREED.

ZEN, YOU SHOULD GO AND HELP HIM.

I WISH TO OBEY YOUR ORDER, BUT...

HE SAID HE WOULD HANDLE IT ALONE, SO IT IS BETTER FOR US TO WAIT.

Instead,

I HAVE POSITIONED US WHERE THE VILLAGE ENTRANCE IS IN SIGHT.

SEE FOR YOURSELF.

-!!!

HE CALLS THAT MANY "NOT MANY"?

JUST AT A GLANCE, THERE MUST BE AT LEAST THIRTY OF THEM!

PLEASE WAIT JUST A MOMENT. ONLY A MOMENT.

MARTIAL GOD,

GREAT GENERAL,

SWORD EMPEROR.

I UNDERSTAND THE REASON BEHIND THOSE CHILDISH TITLES NOW.
