Starting With an SSS-Rank Swordsmanship Talent

“Dad!”

Dylann’s eyes went bloodshot when he witnessed this scene.

He abandoned his squad and rushed toward his father.

“Lord Dylann! Get back here! It’s dangerous there!” Rigor’s voice fell on deaf ears.

Dylann was consumed with rage and despair. The only thing on his mind right now was to save his father. He ignored everything else and charged recklessly through the enemy lines.

More than ten orc warriors tried to stop him, but they fell with a few swings of his long sword.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The orc warriors couldn’t stop the enraged Dylann.

In just the blink of an eye, he had killed over fifteen orc warriors!

However, just when he thought that he could go unhindered, a huge figure blocked his path.

He looked up and saw the towering presence of an orc general. It was holding a weapon that looked like a club.

Just the thought of getting smashed by this club made Dylann shiver.

He forcefully shook off his fear and lunged at the large monster, brandishing his long sword with all his might.

Whoosh!

The orc general sneered at his futile attempt. It lifted its huge weapon to casually block his long sword.

Clang!

After blocking his sword, the orc general punched Dylann with its left fist.

Boom!

The punch sent him flying and his body smashed into an orc’s clay abode.

The old baron, Argus, frowned upon seeing how they had been ruthlessly beaten by the monsters. With Henry’s and Smith’s fate unknown, as the next highest commanding officer, Argus was forced to lead the infantry unit.

“Bring our injured comrades and retreat immediately!” Argus barked at the warriors.

He gave a series of commands, making sure that everything was in order. His timely response prevented further confusion and the infantry unit was able to retreat without much casualties.

Argus went to grab Henry and Smith Heinrich.

Dammit! This is the fastest I’ve run in my entire life!

He cursed in his heart as he carried the two unconscious Elite Knights into safety.

They are still breathing, but their pulse is weak. They need immediate treatment…

He frowned when he sensed the terrible condition of the two warriors.

Just then, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path.

Argus took an abrupt halt as he stared at the towering red-skinned orc lord.

This was the beast that had taken down two powerful Elite Knights. No matter how confident he was with his skills, there was no way he could surmount realms to fight this monster.

“Shit! There’s no way this old man would die today!” Argus laughed grimly, sweat trickling down his face.

The overwhelming aura of the orc lord made him shake from head to foot. He couldn’t even move his feet anymore, as if there was an invisible force that pinned him in place.

The orc lord tilted its head, revealing a chilling smile.

In the next moment, it swung its fist toward the old baron while emitting a burst of strange laughter.

Whoosh!

Just when he thought that they would be killed, he saw a familiar figure appearing beside the orc lord.

Sir Galanar!

The orc lord also sensed the arrival of a formidable foe, but it was a second late to react.

Galanar’s kick struck its face, sending it crashing to the wall.

Bang!

“Retreat immediately! Leave the rest to us!” Galanar sent the old baron a deep look before he rushed in the orc lord’s direction.

Baron Argus heaved a deep sigh. Without looking back, he went to grab Dylann who had also fallen unconscious before he retreated into safety with the infantry unit.

Baron Argus grabbed a medical practitioner and pointed at the three people he had saved. “Please prioritize these three! They are gravely wounded!”

The medical expert was stunned after being suddenly yanked, but when he saw that it was the old baron, he forcefully swallowed his anger. “I’ll see what I can do, my lord.”

Argus nodded with a grave look.

He then turned his head.

The main force had already clashed with the orcs and a brutal slaughter followed.

Under Alaric’s leadership, the main force destroyed all the orcs in their path, piercing through the enemy formation with unstoppable momentum!

“That old man…” Argus squinted his eyes as he looked at the old man who was currently fighting two orc lords.

“Sir William? How is this possible?” His eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

He had heard about William’s recovery, but there was no news about his advancement to Transcendent.

Wait… There’s another Transcendent!

Baron Argus stared at Warrick who was also fighting against two orc lords.

Sir Warrick is a Transcendent too? Just how many Transcendents do they have?

Lord Lucas, Sir Galanar, Sir Warrick, and if Sir William is included, they have four Transcendents! Insane!

It wasn’t just him, the lords of the noble houses were also flabbergasted. They all thought that Galanar was the only Transcendent after Lucas.

Fucking awesome! So fucking awesome!

Lord Nathan’s eyes twinkled after they had revealed their powers.

This further solidified his desire to latch onto the coattails of House Silversword.

Honor? Who cares about honor? Can that be eaten?

Lord Nathan clenched his fists as he watched the battle unfold.

…

The main force displayed their strength. Coupled with the rage that they had been suppressing earlier, they brought out a terrifying force that rendered the orc warriors unable to defend themselves. Even the orc generals weren’t any better.

The powerful Elite Knights from each noble house furiously attacked the monsters.

Meanwhile, Alaric was at the forefront of the formation, showing the courage of a true commander.

Looking at his back, the warriors felt invigorated and the morale was sky-high.

With Galanar and the other two holding back the orc lords, there is nothing that can stop us from massacring these orcs!

Alaric thought to himself, but for some reason, his instincts were giving him signals. As if a far more terrifying beast was hiding inside the cave.

I hope I’m wrong.

He tried to convince himself, but he knew that his instincts had never been wrong.
