LORD WORLD: START

CHAPTER 11: MOUNTAINS OF ATROF PROVINCE

"But!".

Charles' sword and Lokof's 2 axes collided with each other. At first Myro thought Charles' thin-looking sword would break under Lokof's heavy axe attack, but who thought Charles easily moved his sword to the side so that 2 axes fell to his left side.

Then without wasting any chance, Charles took the gap and thrust his sword towards Lokof's neck.

Facing Charles' nimble movements, Lokof is overwhelmed as he cannot guess Charles' next move.

Sensing the approaching crisis, Lokof leaps back, which leads him to avoid Charles' sword attack even though Charles did not plan to kill him in the first place because they were allies who were training to test each other's strength.

Looking at the dodging Lokof, Charles did not ridicule him at all but rather startled "Rank 3 soldiers who rely on strength like you are actually able to dodge my attacks? It seemed like the news was true, the prince got a strong warrior under him! Alright, then I will show even more of my strength without restraint".

The retreating Lokof became even more annoyed, he raised his axe and shouted "It seems that I underestimated you here too, I will show my strength as well!".

Slowly the ferocious aura in Lokof's body increased, even Charles showed an attracted face towards the ability that Lokof would use to the point that his strength increased so rapidly.

But before Lokof acted, Myro shouted "Enough get there! Lokof, they are all allies, at least now! So, don't use your full strength that might kill someone".

Hearing Myro's cry, Lokof's terrifying aura quickly disappeared. He looked towards Charles coldly, then kept his 2 axes and headed back towards Myro.

Charles smiled unconcernedly, he kept his sword as well and walked towards Kanson.

Myro looked at the 40 men behind Kanson, he finally understood that these knights were not indiscriminate troops but rather that the power they had was strong enough, at least Charles being able to compete against Lokof was the best proof.

Although there is a difference in rank here where the power of Charles 2 rank above Lokof, but not necessarily all rank 5 can hold the ax Lokof directly. Moreover, the age of Charles so young, it proves he is not an outcast knight.

Looking at Myro who had not talked about anything, Kanson was a little worried. After all they can follow Myro even though Myro refuses, but as long as Myro agrees, he can more easily protect Myro.

Not to mention that Kanson was not a noble warrior or a certain prince, he did not at all plan to kill the prince but rather carry out the duties of the king was his goal. The king gave him the order to guard Myro, for that reason he needed to protect Myro as best he could in order to complete the task he had received.

Myro closed his eyes for a while and nodded in agreement "There is no reason for me to refuse because your help has indeed given me some advantage, let alone this is my father's decision so I will accept it. Kanson, Charles and the other knights, are you all able to leave for the Late City right now?".

Kanson smiled happily, he shouted firmly "Don't worry, prince! From the very beginning we learned about your departure today from your majesty that we had prepared in advance! 40 Knights are ready to follow the prince's decision!".

Myro stopped talking more, he got on his horse before heading forward "If you're ready then follow me, but don't be sorry! However you need to follow a poor and weak prince like me compared to other princes, the journey ahead will be very difficult!".

Lokof, Kanson, Charles and the other knights rode on their horses as well to follow Myro. Kanson who had been chasing behind Myro wearing his horse said confidently "Prince, there seems to be a misunderstanding here! The knights are not the ones who fear powerful enemies, but we are the swords and shields of our masters! Although I remain a loyal follower of King Aras IV and not you, but the command to the 40 other knights of the noble is the same as giving them directly to you. From today on, the loyalty of the 40 knights who came with me is no longer to King Aras IV, but to you. They are all swords and shields that help you through adversity".

Myro had little faith in Kanson's words, after all his father had always been cold towards him. Especially when knowing Myro's abilities are useless, he is seen giving up on Myro. Yet why would he still give Myro 40 knights that were good enough? Was this the last gift to Myro because the king thought they would never meet again?

Myro shook his head and stopped thinking about the matter, what he needed to do now was focus on the journey in front of him. While guessing the king's mind, he can do it if he has free time later.

...----------------...

Under the protection of the Knights, Myro reached Atrof Province with a time of 14 days without any problems.

Atrof Province was the border province between the Golden Guardian Kingdom with the barbarian territory and the Frave Kingdom as well as several other kingdoms, including, there were 40,000 elite troops of the Golden Guardian Kingdom's border guards guarding this region thus stopping other kingdoms from plotting to invade their kingdom.

Myro who was on his horse needed to admit that this place was completely different from a prosperous capital. If in the capital, no matter where one went, they would find many people or merchant caravans.

But after being in Atrof Province for 5 days, Myro has not met 1 person at all.

In addition along the way, what Myro saw were forests and mountains that made him feel like he was in nature itself.

Charles who followed beside Myro pointed towards the mountain range which had been seen as "Prince, the mountain range which you can see is now the territory of the famous bandits, the region of power, there were countless bandits who used the forest and mountains to build their headquarters and hide so that it made it difficult for the royal army to clear them. Although there is no exact number, but according to some soldiers who have been hunting bandits here, the number of bandits secretly hiding in the mountains may reach 10,000".
