The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne

Chapter 14: The Eastern Knights

I transferred to Leos side.

Nevertheless, transferring to an individual is very rough so I cant do it with pinpoint accuracy.

Because my aim was off, I started flying toward him while blowing the dust cloud below me.

To already started moving at this timing, as expected of Leo. He is heading for Kiel and is rushing full speed together with the knights.

I landed a distance away in front and wait for Leo to arrive.

After a little while, Leo noticed my presence and put his horse to a halt.

Silver right?

Thats right. Pleased to meet you Your Highness Leonard.

I dont have time for a formal introduction right now. For you to appear like this, I can take it that you are here as a reinforcement correct?

Yeah, thats my intention. However, you should give up rushing there like this.

What do you mean?

Leo asked with an unusually angry tone.

He must know that the tsunami has occurred and doesnt want to waste any time heading to Kiel. Thats exactly why I chose to show myself here.

I cant let him head into that horde of monsters with this small group of knights.

With that number of monsters attacking Kiel, even if you have the imperial knights with you, it would be like pouring water on a hot stone. (TLN: JP proverb meaning doing something that is bound to fail.)

You wont know if you wont try! There should at least be a single life that we can save!

Thats a splendid resolve but you cant save the people with your feelings alone. Those knights around you should know that right?

Leo looks at his knights.

His expression seemed slightly upset after he saw the serious expression of the knights.

I press him once again.

As long as the tsunami already occurred, you need an army to stop it.

Where can you find such army..? Are you saying that I should stand aside because I cant do anything? My father, sister and the citizen, there are people I must protect there! If I forsake them I will not be able to forgive myself!

Haa.I dont remember ever saying that you should abandon them. I am just telling you that you should prepare more war potential before you go.

.?

Leo was heated up but after he heard my roundabout words he gradually calmed down.

Finally, I cut to the main point.

Prince Leonard, the knights of the east are not just the imperial knights around you.

.You are telling me to ask for help from the Lords in the area?

Such a foolish proposal! To use the knights under those local Lords, even if it is a princes order that is still exceeding your authority! Even if they close their eyes and give up their knights, how many days do you think it will take to mobilize those knights!

The Knight Captain said that sounding irritated.

He must think that such a proposal was unrealistic. Well, it is true that it takes days to mobilize those knights.

It is unrealistic to gather those knights however if its me, I can turn that into a reality.

Leave the method to me. The question here is whether the prince has the will to do it or not. You might be reprimanded after everything is over after all. Are you willing to accept that possibility? How serious are you when you said that you want to save your family and citizen?

..If I can save them I have no interest in my position. You can mobilize the knights under my name. Tell me how.

Your Highness! ?

This is an emergency. If it is to protect His Majesty, I can endure anything. Theres no problem. Now, Silver. Tell me how to save them.

..that is a splendid determination. The method is simple. I will use transfer magic to open the gates on the hill near Kiel. Using those gates, you will give them a speech. Explain the situation to those knights and guide them to the gate.

It was a ridiculous method.

With no proof that he is really the prince, he has to convince the confused knights to jump into a suspicious magic portal.

Their immediate master is their Lord. If their Lord commanded them not to do it then it will all be over.

Everything will depend on Leo.

If he can only gather a few knights then I would be wasting my precious time and magic power.

However, it is still worth trying. The festival is still on going.

Carlos who is in the first place will probably be disqualified as well as I who was in second place. The tied in the third place will be just Leo and Gordon. If he managed to put together the knights and hunt those monster he should be able to win. Moreover, by organizing the confusing knights we can solve this situation at the same time.

The only problem is whether Kiel can hold on until then. Thats why I sent Elna there. There should be no problem on that end. If it is a situation where even Elna has a hard time with then charging with Leos small number of knights wouldnt solve anything anyway.

What are you going to do? Are you not confident?

Right..I dont have such confidence. But, I will do it. Nii-san will probably tell me to give it a try after all.

I cant picture the dull prince doing that though.

You just dont know him. My brothers decisiveness is really outstanding, you know. Even now, he must have decided to do something about this already after all.

Hearing him, my eyes went rounded behind my mask.

To think that Leo thinks of me like that.

It doesnt feel bad though.

I see. try it.

Saying so I put my hands together. What I am right now is not a transfer magic for my personal use. It is a magic to open a hole for others to pass through.

After a short time, a hole that connects to the hill is completed. It is large enough for about ten people to enter at once.

Such a hole that is unstably distorting is not something anyone would want to jump into. So, I jump in first.

Then without hesitation, Leo follows me.

My vision distorted for a moment but then I am now standing on the hill.

So this is transfer magic..

The real thing is after this.

After I said those self-convincing words, I open the same hole in the seven major towns around Kiel.

Now, it all depends on Leo.

I used a magic to amplify your voice. You can start now.

.Knights of the east who can hear my voice, please listen to me. I am Leonard Lakes Adler. The eighth prince of the empire.

Leo slowly speaks.

He knows that he cant fail this. Without rushing, he makes sure that they are properly listening to his voice.

He is being calm. This might actually work huh.

At the moment, A Tsunami has occurred in the east and Kiel is in the middle of its path, they are in a dangerous situation. Right now, I am gathering knights to go there with me. If you can hear my voice, I want you to enter the transfer magic hole nearby and join me. You dont have to ask for your Lords permission. I want you to decide to do it by yourself. I will bear all the responsibilities.

Though the speech has ended, Leo breathes in and pulls out his sword.

He then declares with a louder and more ecstatic voice.

Protect the people of Kiel! Knights who still have their hearts! Knights who still have their courage! Those who share my ideals, Join me! ! I look forward to your decision!

As Leo concluded his speech, his figure was like fathers on the battlefield.

The imperial knights around him must also be affected, they are staring at Leo in awe.

However, only Leo stares at the hole with a serious expression.

Theres no one coming through them.

When I thought that we have failed. A young man emerged from one of the holes.

The young man was surprised by his first-ever transfer magic but once he saw Leos figure, he hurriedly gets down from his horse and lowers his head.

Knight of Hessen! Hans, reporting for duty! I have come to join you, Your Highness Leonard!

You did well, Hans. you have my gratitude.

No! It is I who should feel grateful! Ever since I heard that Your Highness has been visiting various villages, it is my wish to fight under you, Prince Leonard ! ! Those who think so are not just myself! They are currently gathering! Please wait for them!

The thing that attracts peoples eyes and naturally gathers them is charisma.

Right now, by that definition, Leo is that charisma itself.

Through the holes, the knights are gathering one after another.

And at the end.

My name is Folker, the Lord of Ulm! I have brought 500 knights to join you, Your Highness!

An old man appeared riding on a horse.

He must already pass his sixties. His body build is good and all but the grey hairs on his head is making me worry.

Folker, Im glad that you joined us but will you be okay?

I possess both heart and courage! Do you have something you are not satisfied with!

.No, if you are fine then dont mind it. Thank you for joining us. You can charge in with me. I will be relying on you.

Looking at the strength in Folkers eyes, Leo said that with a smile.

It may have taken him by surprise, Folker opens his eyes wide and immediately reply with a loud voice.

Ha, HaHa! Allow me to show you my power!

I will look forward to it.

The Eastern Knights gradually gathered together, their number now exceeded three thousand. They might be disorderly but their morale is high because they did not gather here by someone else order, they are here because of their own will.

Seeing them, I feel assured.

With this, there should be no problem.

Silver. Thank you for your cooperation.

I just act for the sake of the people as an adventurer. And it is still too early to thank me. You can tell that to me again after we saved Kiel. Well, Im going ahead.

Saying so, I transferred to Kiel using transfer magic.

There, I saw a ridiculous sight above the city.
