The Useless 8th Prince

Fire in Blackrock City

Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit!

The morning before sunrise. From the top of the fort, David Nixon looked grim at the sight of the large army gathered not far from the city.

As the name suggests, a fortress is a building used to survive, similar to a castle. You could say there were three main types of buildings for the high-level nobles. The three buildings were palaces, castles, and fortresses.

The palace is a building that can be said as the center of the kingdom or empire. The building was also where the Royal Family lived. While the castle and the castle actually have a similar function, namely as a status symbol and shelter. Both also have the same characteristics that are difficult to attack and easy to defend.

If the difference, of course the shape of the building. The castle usually looks taller than the castle. Also, both were built in different locations. Usually the castle is built on a hill or low mountains, the place is difficult to reach by the enemy. While the fort is usually in a flatter place and is in a border location with other regions.

Despite being in the fortress, David felt uneasy. Especially after hearing that the boy he despised was a high-level Devil. He gritted his teeth, feeling the humiliation Ciel had given him.

With his ability, Ciel should be able to infiltrate the fortress and carry out a massacre. However the young man did not do so at all and chose to lead the 5 Viscounts he raised to fight David. Clearly, the young man was intending to use the Nixon Family as a stepping stone as well as a threat to the neighboring territory.

“I came to report, Sir!” a knight approached David.

“What's up? Did Prince Luciel finally accept my apology?” ask David expectantly.

After hearing that Ciel was a level 5 (medium) Devil, David immediately sent an apology letter and chose to surrender. He said that he would give up his territory and royal title. But there is absolutely no answer.

Instead of directly answering, the knight brought some parchment and gave it to David. When looking at the contents of the parchment, the middle-aged man looked pale and desperate. In the parchment, Ciel mentioned that he had sent the original document about David's relationship with Marquis Lawyer to the Royal Capital.

In seven days, the 5 Viscounts not only swept through villages and towns. They were also given the mission to retrieve documents and records of any transactions related to David. Sure enough, their efforts yielded results. Small pieces of evidence come together and become undeniable.

If at first David tried to move to the territory of Marquis Bathory, now he could not do it. If he were to force his way out, the Marquis of Bathory would also refuse him to seek safety. After all, now he was already a traitor to the Black Sun Empire. He can't run.

Seeing the rising sun, David closed his eyes. Although he was arrogant and cunning, the middle-aged man realized that everything was over. Not only him, even the knights felt hopeless. They realize that they have done many bad things and cannot be forgiven.

The sound of trumpets was heard from a distance followed by the sound of the clattering of horse legs. Troops from all sides headed straight towards Blackrock City.

Looking at the scene, David roared out loud.

“Prepare troops! Defend gate! I know we won't win, but we can't just sit back and wait to die either!

My people ... at least bring one person to go die with you!!!”

...***...

At the southern city gate, a huge explosion was heard.

A solid gate could really be destroyed. When the puff of smoke disappeared, there appeared a black Minotaur carrying a giant axe. Without waiting for the opponent to react, the creature roared.

“Brother, show the world our strength .. Minotaurs! Kill enemy! Show the Master that we deserve his trust!”

After the Asterious cry, an excited shout after scream sounded. In the blink of an eye, the infantry troops from the Minotaur tribe entered the inner city and began to overwhelm its opponents. Behind them, Gnoll and Troll troops also came.

BRUISES!

Before finishing his remark, the knight head flew into the air. The headless body instantly fell down and the red liquid began to wet the ground.

At the moment when the people were stunned, an Asterious angry voice sounded.

“You remember what Mr Luciel said??? CLEAN!!!” shouted Asterious.

“OOOHHH!!”

The soldiers from the Minotaur tribe seemed to have a higher spirit while the opposing party's knights became increasingly desperate. Bloody scenes could be seen everywhere later.

Different from the south gate, the east gate is more difficult to penetrate because there is a large area and many archers who stand guard over the wall. It blinded the knights of difficulty to advance. At that moment, the sound of arrows tearing through the air sounded.

Swooshes! Swooshes! Swooshes!

Not just one or two arrows, but the sound of arrows constantly being heard. When the knights looked up at the wall. The opposing party archers fell down one by one. One arrow is worth one life, really a terrible thing.

At the moment when they looked towards the direction the arrows were coming from, people were shocked to see a beautiful Dark Elf sitting on a black horse with an indifferent expression. He continued to pull the bowstring and shoot arrows as if an automatic archer machine.

“What are you guys daydreaming about! Opportunity open! ATTACK!!” Viscount Lawrence exclaimed as he spurred his mount towards the east gate.

Although the middle-aged man was amazed by Ciel's subordinate's abilities, he knew what to prioritize now. After all, the middle-aged man did not want to appear bad in front of his new master.

The troops led by Viscount Lawrence and Viscount Carter advanced straight through the east gate.

A similar sight also occurred at the north gate. Viscount Foster and the other two led an army to attack the northern gate. Because of their large number and the knights stationed in the north were fewer, they easily broke through.

Something different is happening in the West. In addition to the Minotaur, Gnoll, and Troll invading the southern part, another Heteromorphic race waited at the west gate. The gate that determines hope or despair. If they can escape through the west gate, they can go to the territory of the Marquis of Bathory which is several kilometers away from the city.

Here Ciel is clearly testing the loyalty of the Orcs. As for the Goblins, they were somewhat lacking in sense and liked to fight. More precisely, they were like cannon fodder.

As Ciel expected, a ruthless fight took place at the west gate. But the Orcs are not vegetarians either, they really do a good job. No enemy escaped or escaped.

Ciel who was in front of the camp without advancing to battle was satisfied when he saw Blackrock City that was enveloped by flames. Unlike the usual protracted battle, by the afternoon, the war had already reached the end point.

Critical feelings suddenly came to Ciel. Looking to the west, the young man saw a black cloud that almost covered the afternoon sky, making the world darker. But when he saw using ‘Eye of The Lord’, the young man's face turned pale. The reason is …

The one coming from the west was not a storm cloud, but countless demon locusts to the point of covering the sky.
