Because of its shape and its multitudes of sharp spikes, the wolf fang cudgel was easier to shake blood off of than a regular flat sword. Its shape meant that if you gave it a good swing after smashing some people, it’d automatically whip a wide spray of blood. And that, of course, would probably look pretty damn ghastly. On top of that, I gave their vague fears a clear shape: that they might be next.

“Uwahhh, waahhhhhhhhhh?!”

“E-Eeeeeeek!”

When one soldier screamed and started running, that set off another one, and then another one, as the soldiers chased after him with faltering footsteps. They were all like the “bandit” group we’d busted before: At heart, none of them were ready to die. The only difference here was that they had only vague concerns about things based on their own observations of how the battle was progressing. When I slammed the clear fear of death in front of them, most of their hearts broke like a twig.

“Wh-What?! Fools, how dare you run?! Protect me! Protect me, or it’ll be your heads!”

Balthazar was panicking, trying to stop the soldiers, but they weren’t gonna stop just for that. If they stopped, they’d die—that was most likely the prominent thought in half their heads. Most of the other half probably gathered that the prince and his lackeys likely wouldn’t be able to catch them, if they did run fearing for their lives. And then there were probably a handful of them who thought this: If the Black Wolf killed Balthazar, then no one would chase them at all.

Those destined for leadership should discipline and hone themselves so that they would never inspire those kinds of thoughts in their subordinates. But it was Balthazar’s contempt for that theory that I was currently taking advantage of.

“Now, best resign yourself to these next few moments, Your Highness!”

I’d given our volunteer militia the easy job of chasing down the soldiers who ran, so we were surrounded by chaos. Because of that, when I shouted at him, he just shook, unable to ride his horse away due to his lack of skill. He’d already looked pretty damn sickly, but now, he was way past regular pale and deep into being as white as a sheet.

His toady knights were still there, but they couldn’t handle their panicking horses and hadn’t managed to draw their swords. It pissed me off a bit, honestly; it only took this little bit to get them rattled like this?

“S-Stop! I’m... Just who do you think you’re threatening?! The noble blood of Sylvario’s royal family runs through my veins, and I will be the kingdom’s next king...”

I ignored Balthazar as he started to babble, stepping forward. Two knights on horseback moved forward to shield him. But that just made them easier targets.

“Out of the way!” I screamed as I swung my cudgel, slamming it into their horses with an awful, fleshy sound. The horses toppled to their sides, and the knights who fell with him must have fallen wrong, because they twitched a few times before they stopped moving.
