LORD WORLD: START

CHAPTER 14: THE PRIZE

Hearing the cry of their leader, the 3 rank 4 bandits who started to fear the ferocity of Myro who killed 2 of their friends regained their senses. They drew their swords then spread out, besieging Myro from all sides.

Myro did not panic at all, even though he was surrounded by 3 people stronger than himself so he must have lost. At least Myro was confident in the fighting techniques that the knights had taught him for decades, he would definitely be able to buy time until the arrival of Lokof and the others.

When the 3 people were ready to move, a lightning-like cry sounded "How dare to try to kill my master! You better get ready to die!".

1 Rank 4 bandit broke out in a cold sweat, he felt a bad premonition and immediately jumped to the side without hesitation.

"Shelf!".

Right after the bandit had jumped to the side, an axe fell towards the spot where he was standing.

At first the bandit thought he had managed to escape, but it turned out he was wrong.

When his right axe failed to hit the enemy, Lokof slashed the bandit with an axe in his left hand.

"Dash!".

The bandit who thought he had escaped split into 2 as a result of Lokof's axe, his corpse fell to the ground with blood forming a small pond on the ground.

Seeing the other 1 comrade die, the 2 surviving rank 4 bandits had lost all their courage.

Without a doubt, the 2 rank 4 bandits escaped.

Lokof whose eyes were red from a murderous frenzy tried to chase after the 2 people who had fled, but Myro's shout stopped his movement "Don't chase them, Lokof! The jungle field is their specialty, not yours! As long as you rush into the forest, you'll fall into their trap".

Although he was falling into madness, Lokof became conscious as a result of Myro's scream. His red eyes turned normal again, the tiger fur along with the ferocious aura from his body also disappeared rapidly.

The leader of the 7th rank bandit became gloomy, he could not stop his 2 comrades from escaping because they were bandits, not like military soldiers who had strong cooperation. Therefore, it was not strange for the bandits to abandon their comrades when things got worse, however from the beginning the bandits had no loyalty.

Realizing the circumstances changed and the mission failed, the bandit leader was not stubborn. If he decided to continue attacking, his entire bandit group might be killed, even he himself would die.

For that reason, the bandit leader who gritted his teeth furiously shouted "Retreat, the entire army is retreating!".

Unconcerned about the condition of his subordinates, the bandit leader turned around and disappeared among the mountain forest.

Kanson did not try to chase after the bandit leader. As Myro said, forests and mountains are their fields of expertise where they have lived here for many years, fighting them in the mountains is a great loss.

Many of the bandits began to flee while some of the bandits died under the swords of the knights.

Charles also nearly kills the rank 5 enemy he is fighting, but his enemy is lucky enough to avoid a deadly attack from Charles even though he has to lose his right eye.

Under the pain of losing his right eye, a rank 5 bandit stared at Charles hatefully before disappearing into the forest.

Seeing the fight end, Myro kept his sword and let out a heavy sigh. This was his first battle, during his time in the capital, Myro had always been in such a safe state that he had never experienced an actual fight except a real match practice with the knights.

But no matter how real the battle practice was against the knights, they still held back because Myro was a prince. If they hurt or kill Myro, they will be put to death. Therefore, the fight had become the first original fight for Myro.

"Sir, are you hurt?", asked Lokof who walked over worriedly, his eyes constantly watching Myro trying to check if there were any injuries on his body.

Myro waved "I'm fine, how is the victim on our side? It seems that the enemy is really attacking us full of preparation. If I hadn't kept my powers a secret, we might have run into some big trouble".

Kanson walked up to Myro as well "While there were many injured so that it might hinder our journey, no one was killed! Prince, I'm quite curious, how do you hide your strength? With the power of my rank 7, I should be able to see through your rank 3 power without any problem even if you try to hide it. If this matter is a prince's secret, then you can assume I've never asked before".

"This matter is no secret, I have no special ability to hide power unless I use an artifact" Myro said, showing a red diamond-encrusted necklace she was wearing "I received this silver artifact from a person who is very valuable to me, the ability of this artifact is to hide the power of its user. As long as one did not have a detecting artifact above the silver rank or their strength of 5 rank above me, they would not be able to see the true power I had".

Kanson was shocked, he observed Myro's necklace artifact and said "I'm sure the person who gave the prince this thing must really care about you".

Myro said without hesitation "You're right, he was the only one who kept my support even though I was the 17th prince who was rejected by everyone".

Charles appeared from the side, he who had cleared his sword of blood decided to keep his sword while asking "Prince, what are your next plans? If it is on schedule, we should keep moving until the night before resting. But with the state of our troops now, I suggest that we rest first and continue tomorrow! However exhausted and wounded, they needed rest to restore their strength".

Myro stared around where there were some knights sitting on the ground from exhaustion. He was not a cruel person, Myro said without a doubt "Is there enough open space here? We'll build a camp to rest. But we need to camp in an open space, an area near the forest like this is easily attacked by bandits like that".

Kanson pointed to the front "There should be enough open field for 40 of us, I've read the map of the area before coming here so I know the existence of the field".

"It's been decided" Myro said, agreeing "Tell the soldiers to walk a little more to the field ahead, after which they can rest until tomorrow".

"Well, prince", replied the 3 men who rushed to tell the other soldiers.

Myro who was busy thinking about their next move was suddenly startled by the sound of the system.

[Master won his first fight, you get a 1-time summoning chance prize]
