VOLUME 4: CHAPTER 15

The Second Army was camped in Louan Plains, an area previously infested with monsters.

Inside, his tent, Arzen Boris read the reports from his men. It had already been several weeks since the siege of Yan City started. They’d tried dozens of times to reclaim the city, but each of their attempts were thwarted by Commander Amubal of the Empire, the so-called Man-Eater. The demoted general who suffered a crushing defeat against the Yorkshaire Army several months ago.

“Another failure, huh?” Arzen rubbed his throbbing forehead. Black marks encircled his eyes.

They’d lost contact with the scouts they’d sent out a day ago.

“Tell Mokuva to come here,” he said to one of the soldiers.

“Yes, Commander!” the soldier saluted and went out of the tent. A few minutes later, he came back with a frail-looking man who could easily be mistaken as a girl at first glance.

“You called for me, brother?” said Mokuva.

“Commander,” corrected Arzen.

Mokuva stared at his brother for a moment, then bowed his head. “Of course. It’s Commander. My apologies, Sir.”

Arzen sighed. “It seems that I’ll be needing your skills. It’s been more than a month since we left the capital. I heard from a reliable source that that damn Lark Marcus has already reached the Western Front with his entire army intact. And can you believe this? He managed to capture the walled City of Akash!”

Arzen gritted his teeth. He knew that he should be glad that the battle on the Western Front had been favorable for the Kingdom thus far, but knowing that all these achievements would go to that bastard once the war ended made Arzen want to rip his hair out in utter frustration.

If that brat could do it, why couldn’t he? He was the top graduate of the military academy, after all.

Arzen looked at his little brother. Unlike him, Mokuva was unfazed by the news. His face held a curious look, as though wondering how Lark Marcus managed to achieve all those things within a short period of time.

“Listen,” said Arzen. “I want you to come up with a strategy to overcome the Man-Eater’s defenses. We need to take back the City of Yan as soon as possible!”

His frail-looking brother stared at the map spread on the table for several minutes. Like playing a game of Hayangji, the popular strategy game of the Kingdom, he started placing numerous wooden pieces on different parts of the map.

“Commander, how many soldiers has the Second Army lost since the start of the war?” said Mokuva, his gaze still fixated on the map.

“Almost two thousand.” Arzen scowled. “That damnable Man-Eater refused to leave the City of Yan. We’ve been forced to siege, but that’s to be expected of a territory previously governed by the House Marcus. Forget the gates. We can’t even climb past the walls without being shot by arrows.”

“Two thousand.” Mokuva clicked his tongue. “That’s a lot. You should have called for me sooner, Commander. Over here, look. It should be possible to launch a surprise attack from here.
