Armipotent

449 Prince Kaiden

Prince Kaiden, the youngest prince of the Lionax Kingdom. He was sent to another's world expedition to gain experience after reaching his adulthood by the King, his blood father.

The thing that infuriated him, he was put under a woman's command instead of leading the expedition. His brother said it was to get rid of his arrogance and many things he could learn from Commander Ashley.

The young prince did not share the sentiment with his brother. The woman was supposed to be ruled and conquered, he could not accept a woman to be in charge of him.

Especially since he was royalty. The royalty was not supposed to be lower than anyone, even his brother's betrothed. Yes, Commander Ashley was his eldest brother's betrothed. They would carry the wedding after this expedition.

The fury mixed with humiliation bubbled inside him as he led two squads of knights toward the direction where Commander Ashley told him. The young prince decided to move by himself after he captured the city.

Prince Kaiden ran in one direction, non-stop overnight. Hours passed by and he finally discovered the city before the sun rose.

"Is this the city that B*tch talked about!?" The young prince observed the tall buildings from a distance. Even though most of the buildings were in a bad shape, he was marveled at the architecture.

"They can make such tall buildings, but how can they not survive from the lowly undead?" The young prince was confused. He was surprised when he first encountered the tall building that the exterior was made of glass.

"The peace, Young Lord. I believe the residents of this world have been at peace for too long, hence they are not prepared for something like the game to happen," Captain Reed responded to the prince.

"Yes, the same thing happened to our ancestors as well. That's why Your Majesty keeps looking for a gate and sending his army to fight even though our Kingdom is in a peaceful and prosperous state," Captain Weed followed with another response.

"What do you think about the Tang Empire? Are they from another world as well or they are the native of this world?" Despite his arrogance, the young prince was willing to learn. He tried to analyze the enemy instead of blindly fighting them.

"Since this world just experiences the Game for a few months, it's unlikely to be the native unless the empire exists even before the game," Captain Reed expressed his thoughts, "Either way, we have to be cautious. If they are from another world, they may come from an older world than Lukan. If they are native, they are strong enough to build an empire in such a short amount of time, we should be careful."

Captain Weed supported his fellow captain with a nod.

"Let's think of our next move after we capture the city," after saying that, the young prince walked toward the city.

Captain Reed and Captain Weed shared a glance. The two realized why Commander Ashley agreed to send them with the young prince. The two captains were the strongest captains in the battalion.

So even if they encountered a strong enemy, the two could bring the young prince back. Even though they could not win against the strong enemy, both were strong enough to bring the prince back alive. Commander had expected the young prince would try to move alone by himself. The two captains nodded and followed the young prince.

When Prince Kaiden was about to arrive at the city, the young prince stopped his steps. He felt that he was being watched, "From the top," his institution was correct, he could see flying hovered above them.

"We are being watched, be careful of an ambush!" The young prince commanded as he drew his sword. The glistening red sword shone in the dark, one of the twelve Lionax Kingdom's treasures was in the young prince's hand. Yes, Prince Kaiden discovered Wen who was on a patrol in the night.

When Wen arrived here to deliver the supply, he did not go back to Hangzhou. He stayed with his Lord and watched over the city. On his patrol, Wen found a group of knights approaching the city. Just like usual, he did not immediately report the situation. Instead, the Jade Eagle decided to spy on the group but the beastmen was not expecting to be discovered.

"Is it a beast with the owner or just an ownerless beast? I kinda need a mount," Prince Kaiden squinted his eyes as he observed Wen. He could see that the beast that flew above him was a beastmen, but a beastmen could always revert to the beast form.

"If the beast was sent to watch us, that means it has a master," Captain Weed commented as he observed the beast. He tried to use [Basic Detection] but it did not work as the beastmen was out of range.

"Then I will slay its master and make it mine," The young prince claimed as he motioned his men to get ready, "Get ready to engage!"

Wen realized that he was spotted by the group. He hovered longer above as he was presented with two decisions. First, he could go down and find out about these people. Second, he returned to his Master and reported his finding upon the intruders.

While he was considering his option, he was suddenly struck by something heavy from the back. The sudden force caught the Jade Eagle off guard. He tried to spin around, but there was nothing behind him. It was as if he was struck by an invisible force.

Wen tried to spin around and escape the pressure but to no avail. When he was about to crash, he reacted quickly. He opened his wing to slow his falling speed and landed with his feet.

He just stabilized his standing until he sensed someone was already behind him. Wen folded his wings and revolved. A strong wind formed, sending the person behind him away.

Wen did not stop there as he immediately made some distance from the enemies. He stopped twenty meters away from the group and identified the attacker. A red armored knight with a golden cape with a roaring lion printed on it.

Wen saw blood dripping from the sword. Only then he realized a sting pain in his back. He was struck by the sword despite his maneuver. The Jade Eagle realized that the enemy might be stronger than the enemies he faced before.

'Hah, who expects that I will make such a newbie mistake?' Wen ridiculed himself inwardly. He acted like Kairu just because the creature on Earth was much weaker than the one on Arkania Continent, at least, so far all of them were weak.

The Jade Eagle scanned more red armored-knight as he made a number in his mind, '201 Knights…'

'Then how strong they are…' Wen cast [Basic Detection] on the knight who injured him. The first skill he learned when he came to Earth.

Wen was shocked to see the human's level, 200 levels higher than his own. He then cast the skill on the other two humans behind the human prince.
