The Useless 8th Prince

First Mission

One week later..

Sitting above Deschia with a bored expression, Ciel stared at the entire row consisting of the three main divisions and within the shadow division.

In order not to be suspicious for the Viscount or any other noble, Ciel mixed between an ordinary division army and a shadow division. In addition, Ciel also had the five Viscounts below him deploy their troops.

Now Ciel and his entire army were in a meadow not far from Black Lily City. While the veteran soldiers have missions to guard the city and the border, he has a first mission for these new recruits.

After being trained for two more months, they were ready to plunge into battle. Of course, Ciel did not foolishly directly start a war with the neighboring territory.

What Ciel will do is ‘cleaning total’. Yeah, rather than a total cleanup. Ciel wants a massacre.

Each troop of the normal and shadow divisions was mixed into one. Ciel then divided the people into three Brigades. To that end, he had Asterious and Jean return.

Asterious and Kun as his deputy led a brigade of 4000 people. That number was then divided into 4 battalions with the colonel Ciel chose based on talent. In each battalion of 1000 people divided into 10 companies containing 100 people. In every company, there is a captain who leads.

As for Jean and Elena, they will lead 3000 troops each. The way of division is the same. Of course, this is just training, not yet the final division of the squad.

The reason why Ciel needed to do this was because he wanted the knights below him to get used to the smell of blood and even see killing.

As for what to do, Ciel had his three loyal subordinates do the cleaning. He had Elena clear the Black Lily area, Jean the Greenscale area, and Asterious the Black Orchid area.

“How will this mission be carried out, My Lord?” ask Jean politely.

“Didn't I tell you. It's the mission of cleaning the environment around the area.” Ciel propped up his chin with a bored expression.

“You mean???” Jean looked at Ciel with a puzzled expression.

The entire fully clothed knight also looked at Ciel for not understanding his intentions.

“In one month. I want each area, from the 3 areas I manage myself or the 5 areas that the Viscount manages clean.

Be it a small, medium or large bandit group.

If there are hordes of wild beasts that want to attack a city or village .. remove them.

If anyone tries anything suspicious .. delete it too.

Uh! Anything that tries to get out or into this territory. Be it a demon, a Demonic Beast, or a small bird .. Just delete it!”

Hearing Ciel's words, everyone turned pale. They looked at each other to make sure that everyone heard the same words.

“Deleted? What do you mean, Mister???” Asterious tilted his head with a puzzled expression.

“Kill them all.” Ciel said in an indifferent tone.

“...”

Everyone is confused as to what to say. They think Ciel has lost his sanity. If carried out such a massive elimination, it does have a positive impact on the future. However, it will also spread terror that will imprint in the hearts of the people of its territory.

“Asterious, Jean, and Elena .. follow me.”

After moving away from the ten thousand knights marching, Ciel finally descended from Deschia and approached his three most loyal subordinates.

“Are you willing to accept this mission?” ask Ciel.

“We're ready!” answer them in unison.

“Don't rush to answer. Because ... I want this mission to be carried out without a single casualty from our troops.”

“Without a victim .. isn't such a thing impossible, my lord?” elena asked confusedly.

“No. What they fought was equal to or even weaker than them. So, I want you guys to let them do it themselves.”

“We don't help?” asked Asterious confused.

I want them to experience their first war. I want them to experience feelings on the edge of life and death. I want them to commit murder for the first time.

For that ... I hand them over to you. Are you ready to do it?” ask Ciel.

“We are ready, My lord.” They answered simultaneously.

“Good!” Ciel nodded. “Mari return.”

The four people coupled with a black Wyvern returned to the front of the soldier line. Everyone looked at Ciel nervously, hoping that the crazy idea was just a joke.

“You must have seen that you all have been divided into three large groups. On the far left, 4000 people .. follow Asterious. On the far right, 3000 people .. follow Jean. And the middle one, 3000 people .. follow Elena.

For those who follow Asterious and Jean, all of you will follow your leaders to go to two other areas. Line up! All trains with groceries used during the journey to the other two areas have been prepared.

Without waiting for long, you can leave to follow your leader!”

All the soldiers instantly became paler. They felt that the territory master, Ciel, was actually becoming more and more insane. The young man immediately told them to leave without any mental preparation. Besides, it's winter! Attacking at a time like this is absolutely insane.

However, everyone had made a pact and worked for Ciel. There is absolutely no chance to argue. What they could do was grit their teeth and do as the cruel demon commanded.

Seeing the bitter expressions of the people when dispersed following Jean and Asterious, Ciel raised the corner of his mouth full of satisfaction. He then looked at the remaining 3000 people who were in front of him.

“You are left, your task starts in three days. For that, march back towards Black Lily City!” ciel said coldly.

“According to your order, Milord!” 3000 People in unison.

Their excited voices echoed into the distance, making the people who were following Jean and Asterious grow angry and want to fight their remaining comrades.

While the 3000 could feel the warmth and relax for 3 days, the other 7000 people had to travel a full week. Not to mention, it was in winter, this suppression was quite unbearable. They wanted to cry, but could not do it.

“Elena, you wait here.”

While about to leave with Lil-White, Elena is stopped by Ciel.

“What's up, My Lord?” elena asked with a puzzled expression.

Ciel just walked up to him and directly hugged the woman's body. The sudden incident made Elena's body stiff. He looked at Ciel with a shocked expression. Confused what to say.

“Sorry.” Ciel said briefly.

“Sorry?” Elena was a bit confused.

“I'm too busy and seem to pay less attention to you. But you can rest easy, I did not forget the promise we made.”

Hearing Ciel discuss the promise for revenge, Elena's cold expression softened. For some reason, he felt rather happy. The woman had thought Ciel had forgotten his promise, even considered himself unimportant anymore.

Not to mention hearing the news of Ciel's engagement with Ariana and the news of Ciel receiving Camellia as a concubine, she felt she was no longer needed. Just like a toy that has been unneeded.

“I don't know, you really look beautiful when you smile.”

Ciel's words made Elena wake up from her daydream. Instead of letting go of Ciel's embrace or looking at him coldly. Now, the woman even hugged him back.

Sometimes, being cold could also soften the heart of a woman like Elena.

Hmmm .. it looks like this should be noted.

While looking at Elena who was closing her eyes with a comfortable expression, Ciel really opened up new insights in love life. He felt that women were a bit strange. Being cold, wanting attention. Said to want a partner who treats gently, but originally likes a rude attitude.

Yes ... not right or wrong. It's just .. It's really unique.
