The Useless 8th Prince

Prepare For War

A few days later, in front of the door of the main building of the castle.

Ariana looked tidied up Ciel's collar which was a bit less neat. His face did not change expression. Then, the girl immersed herself in the arms of her fiance.

“Pregnate back safely.”

Though confident that she herself would be fine, Ciel felt a warmth in her heart when Ariana said that. Ciel saw that her fiance's expression had not changed at all. But clearly, the girl's worries were sincere and came from the heart.

“Be looking forward to me back,” said Ciel gently.

“En.” Ariana nodded lightly.

Ciel then saw Camellia and Isabella standing not far behind Ariana. He looked at them and then nodded with a gentle smile.

“You also take care of yourself. By the way, Isabella, as I said, if something precarious happens in the city ... ‘they’ can come out.” Ciel said with a serious expression.

“According to your order, Mr.”

“Then I leave.”

“Hopefully luck always accompanies you and back brings victory, Mr.”

The three women, the maids, and the guards said in unison. Ciel nodded lightly before finally climbing onto Deschia's back then flying high.

As before, Ciel stopped at a meadow not far from Black Lily City, where his army had been waiting. This time, due to the joint war strategy between the nobles of South Duchy, Ciel did not bring much troops.

The troops that Ciel brought were precisely three new and shadowy divisions. In addition, Ciel also brought his loyal subordinates such as Elena, Asterious, Jean, and Clark. The six subordinates of Jean and Kun will guard the Greenscale area. While the Asterious and Ronn families will guard Blackrock City.

Ciel will bring 10,000 soldiers. In addition to himself, for obligations, the five Viscounts would also come along and each would bring 8000 soldiers. Thus, in addition to some important figures such as Ciel's loyal subordinates and the five Viscounts, Ciel led 50,000 warriors.

For a large-scale territorial war, this was not a large amount. But because of this siege many parties to one region. That much ... is enough. After all, Ciel also had a special duty compared to the other nobles from South Duchy.

“You have arrived, Mr.”

Seeing the figures of Ciel and Deschia descending from the sky, Elena immediately approached. Not only the woman, but also Asterious, Jean, Theo, and Clark.

“Are you ready?” ask Ciel kindly.

“We're ready to run errands, Sir!” say the five at the same time.

Ciel then looked towards Clark. After some time staying and practicing a lot, he already did not look like a coward. Clark looked stronger and fierce. The way to use a spear has developed a lot and no longer looks awkward. Ciel was pleased that ‘bisi devil’ really managed to influence him.

“Clark ..”

“Ya, Sir!” Clark went straight ahead and saluted.

“How is your flying practice, have many developments?” ask Ciel.

Hearing Ciel's question, Clark's expression turned pale. True, in addition to learning to fight using spears or bare hands, Clark was also forced to practice flying by Ciel.

‘For baby birds who learn to fly, falling from trees is common.’

After saying that sentence, Ciel immediately pushed Clark off the highest floor of the castle. Of course, at the first moment of trying, let alone flying, just open his wings Clark felt troubled. As a result, Clark was injured by falling from a height of tens of meters.

The problem wasn't bodily injury because Clark had a strong body and scales. The problem is mental injury. Clark who could be said to be afraid of heights was actually forced into freefall for almost a full day each week.

However, the effort did not betray the results, after much practice, Clark was finally able to float. After learning to float, Clark then learned to fly without having to jump from a height. After that ... Clark learned to maneuver in the air.

Clark still remembers learning to maneuver in the air. His master, Ciel had actually shot him with a black fire arrow that could injure him even if he had powerful scales. Of course, he didn't directly succeed in the first try. Even the first attempt was very bad.

Unable to dodge, Clark was like a duck trying to fly and was shot by a hunter. It instantly fell into the mud in an inelegant manner. It was still clearly remembered in his mind.

“Although it can not directly glide at an incredible speed, to maneuver in the air .. I think there is no problem, Mr.” Clark replied with a nervous expression.

“Good.” Ciel nodded. “While it has not been fully mastered, being able to fly on the battlefield is already an advantage. Of course, you should not be too careless and instead approach hundreds or thousands of enemy archers. Otherwise ... maybe you will be shot down and look like a hedgehog because it was stabbed hundreds of arrows.”

Imagining the scene Ciel spoke of, Clark shuddered in horror. He kept on remembering and making sure that he was not so careless in his first war. Dying in the first war .. Instead of being heartwarming, it was an unepic and even embarrassing death for Clark.

“Just calm down, Master won't let his subordinates die just like that.”

Feeling a pat on the back, Clark turned his head and saw Asterious wearing battle armor smiling at him. In response, he nodded with a serious expression.

“Good, Senior Asterious!”clark said firmly.

“Let's both try, Brother Clark!”

Hearing that voice, Clark looked towards Theodore. The corner of his lips twitched. Such a young child could be said to be an actual monster among Ciel's subordinates. At such an age, Theo had finally leveled up to level 3 (early).

Not only that, Clark clearly remembered when he fought with Theo. Comparing the mastery of weapons, Clark was completely inferior to the little boy. Not just Clark, compared to Theo, almost all the members of the shadow division were completely outmatched in weaponry.

“Yes, let's fight,” Clark replied to Theo.

Theodore nodded with a cheerful expression. He really didn't look like the one who was about to go to war, but the kid who was about to go to the amusement park. It really made Clark quiet.

“Make sure don't die.” Jen said in a cold tone.

Clark looked at Jean and nodded. Compared to Asterious who sometimes came and beat him to black and blue, or Theo who humiliated him when practicing gun mastery. Not only more like, but also more admiration.

Despite his little talk and cold speech, for Clark, Jean is a warm-hearted senior. Every time she arrived, as Greenscale was a town turned into a drug farm, Jean would bring Clark leftover medicinal ingredients that were then processed to serve as low-grade healing potions.

His words were cold, but Clark felt that Jean was the most considerate. Clark quietly exclaimed inwardly.

Yep! Compared to a cruel master, a silly senior, and a junior who was so strange!
