After taking a few minutes to catch his breath and to press some healing spells onto his left arm, Leon pushed himself back onto his ...
2018-10-01 14:58:00 +0000 UTC View Post[Theyre here,] said Xaphan. It was much easier for him to use his magic senses outside of his body since regaining a small portion of his power, and he made sure to keep an eye out during the night for the men who intended to harm Leon.
Leon looked up from his work. He was fully armored and had been working on the enchantments he intended to place on his armor to pass the time.

The galley Leon had to take north was slow and cramped. Two hundred fresh soldiers were being taken to Cyrene, a fortress city in the royal demesne situated along the Naga River, and they were packed into the hold as tightly as possible; they had to share space with dozens of the galleys crew members, too. Leon, however, as both a third-tier mage and so...

It was a titanic effort to rise out of bed the morning after Leon and Elises first night together, and it werent for his insistence on not missing a single day of training, Leon wouldnt have bothered to try. Elise pouted a little when her attempts to get him to stick around for a little while longer failed, but Leon was still intent on gaining enoug...

While Leon and Elise were confirming their relationship, Tiberias had an important meeting to attend. He was to be the squire for the Legate of the Twelfth Legion, which was stationed in the Western Territories conveniently close to the Duchy of Aurelianorum, which his father ruled. In celebration of his completion of the Knight Academys training cycle,...
2018-09-26 14:58:00 +0000 UTC View PostIf you didn't see my post yesterday, I've reached my final funding goal on Patreon! There will be 3 bonus chapters today! Do note that this does not affect the bonus chapters that I promised for Oct. 1st, those are still scheduled ;)

Before Leon and Elise left the private room in the Heavens Eye Tower, they had to take a few minutes to fix themselves up a little. Their clothes...
2018-09-26 14:57:00 +0000 UTC View PostWell, it happened, my last Patreon goal has been reached! There will be 4 chapters released tomorrow (the regularly scheduled chapter, plus the three bonus chapters)!
I honestly didn't expect this goal would ever be reached when I started posting chapters way back in January. Part of that kind of thinking was me forcing myself to temper my expectations, but another part of it was insecuri...

Leon spent most of the following morning with Charles and the others. He had quite a bit of fun running around the capital talking about nothing in part...
2018-09-24 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostLeon nearly stopped walking right in the middle of the marching formation, but fortunately for him, the next rank of second-tier Snow Lions was right behind him, pushing him onward. But, even though he kept moving, his brain felt like it had locked up. He didnt quite manage to process Rolands presence until he was already on the stage, standing next to Castor and Alphonsus next to the Legat...
2018-09-21 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe mood in the Snow Lions tower was absolutely jubilant. It had been only a day and a half since the FTX came to an end, long enough for the unit to rest and sleep in, then begin to party, for they had come out of the FTX with six banners! There wasnt any official reward for victory in the FTX other than honor and glory, but theyd receive first consideration for any well-respected knight...
2018-09-19 15:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostI included a short few paragraphs with a couple thoughts on the end of this arc at the end of this chapter. Check it out if you're interested in some behind the scenes stuff =)

After standing at the tree line for about ten minutes, Marcus judged that they had bought enough time for the infiltration team and ordered the shield walls to slowly advance. He didnt like ha...
2018-09-17 15:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostComing here alone was quite bold, Marcus said to Tiberias. The leader of the Black Vipers had shown up at the south-eastern pass without a single other member of his unit and asked to speak with the nine third-tier leaders of the allied units. He was consequently shown into their command tent.
Was it really so bold? Tiberias asked in response. Im merely trying to show my trust...
2018-09-14 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostSeveral arrows whizzed past Leons head as he ducked down behind the watchtowers waist-high wooden wall. He didnt stop to think about what was happening or who was responsible, he slammed his hand into the runic circle on the pinned sheet of spell paper on the wall and activated the alarm enchantment. The trainee who had been manning the tower had been hit by several arrows and immediately...
2018-09-12 15:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostTheyre going to attack tonight, Castor stated.
You say that as if it were ever a question, Leon responded with a smile. That attack last night was only a probe. They wanted to see how we would react. No doubt that theyll use what they learned to plan for their attack.
Then we should attack them first! They wont attack us if they take serious casualties! said Al...
2018-09-10 15:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostWith their supplies incinerated, the allied units had a lot of trouble staying in their position. Those supplies had been meant to last them for several weeks, but with them gone theyd either have to send runners back to their old camps and ferry replacement food and arrows back to the new camp or they would have to abandon the new camp temporarily until they worked out a new logistical solut...
2018-09-07 15:00:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe Snow Lions camp had been built into the face of the cliff. The primary defensive feature that the leaders of the three units could see were two layers of concentric palisades, each with four watchtowers. Looking farther up the cliff face, they could see a few caves with fortified platforms jutting out, providing enough space for two or three archers per platform to rain down arrow fire on...

The Crimson Tigresses recovered from the Snow Lions ambush quickly; they were already pursuing the latter a mere two hours after the Lions...
2018-09-03 15:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe Crimson Tigresses didnt waste any time on the morning of the third day. The entire unit woke up before the sun rose and left their camp just as dawn broke.
But that speed didnt mean that their departure went unnoticed; Valeria distinctly heard at least half a dozen scout teams from other units keeping an eye on their camp. She guessed that there were at least three more, to make o...
2018-09-01 15:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostWell that was surprisingly easy, said Charles as he sat down in a stone chair. After the Snow Lions ambushed the Steel Century, they immediately returned back to their cavethough a few detours had been made just in case someone managed to track them.
It was so easy because they had already taken casualties, about one-third of their guys I think, and they had to spare a bunch of pe...
2018-09-01 15:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostGet that watchtower raised! We need to get this camp secured by the end of the day! shouted Elianus, the third-tier noble in charge of the Obsidian Cataphracts.
Hed chosen to have his unit set up camp on one side of a deep river that flowed through the southern parts of the forest. By the time the sun fell on the first day of the FTX, the Obsidian Cataphracts camp hadnt been com...
2018-09-01 14:58:59 +0000 UTC View PostIt had been a long ten months, but it was finally time for the trainees to undergo the Field Training Exercise, their two-month-long struggle to see which unit could amass the most banners.
None of the units that had already seized a banner were required to return their spoils, so Marcus Steel Century started out in the lead with three banners, followed by the Crimson Tigresses and the ...
2018-08-31 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostAre you fucking kidding?! You want us to give up our week off?! shouted an enraged Snow Lion at the three third-tier trainees.
Yes, and theres no need for profanity, replied a serious and straight-faced Castor, causing more than half of the one hundred and four assembled Snow Lions to groan or make some other noise to express their disagreement.
No damned way! shouted ...
2018-08-29 15:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe last few classes the Knight Academy taught its trainees during their training cycle were a random mash-up of various other aspects of a knights job that the trainees would have to know. Unfortunately, there wasnt enough time to go into detail, so the burden of educating them fully in these parts of their jobs would fall upon the knights who the trainees would serve during their squiresh...

2018-08-23 12:29:09 +0000 UTC View PostLeon had ten healing spells in his first-aid kit, all of which he had to use to regain the use of his left arm. Even then, his arm was still covered in light burns, but he could move it without pain if he was careful.
[Well, that was certainly enlightening,] Xaphan said flippantly in an attempt to lighten the mood.
[ Thats one word for it, I guess,] Leon muttered sarcastically.<...
2018-08-22 15:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostIt took less than fifteen minutes for the potion to wear off. Every last speck of magic power had flowed into Leons soul realm, where it was drawn to the fire demon waiting for it. Where before Xaphan was like a bonfire, with the power of the Kagu flower and salamander coreplus the Eskellion Doves wind magic fueling his flameshe became like a tornado of fire.

Fuck surrender and fuck you! Themistocles shouted back. You humiliated me last time we fought, and now Im going to do the same to you!
Without even waiting for the announcer to begin the fight, Themistocles launched himself at Antonius and swung wide with his greatax. Leon n...
2018-08-17 15:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostA month passed after the exhibition put on for the Legate. It was hardly eventful, with all the other units falling back into the old routine. The other units continued their battles, but the Snow Lions remained in their tower not bothering anyone else. And no one came to bother them, either. The Crimson Tigresses had beaten them during the exhibition, but everyone was waiting for someone else ...
2018-08-15 15:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostAll ten units couldnt face off against each other at once as everyone watching wouldnt be able to focus on one single battle for very long. Thus, they would battle each other one pair of units at a time.
The Tribune who had decided who would face who also had control over the order in which they would fight. He wasnt particularly interested in complicating matters, so he simply had ...
