Although the video was shaking as if the informant had been in hiding when he filmed it, the nobles could still see tens of monsters flying in the sky.

It was the wyverns.

They could also see knights on top of the wyverns.

"...No way." One of the noble's lips were shaking. He didn't even know that his voice had been shaking as he spoke.

> Kiiiiiiii!

A wyvern rushed toward the informant.

Some of the nobles gasped. The video ended at that moment.

The Wyvern Knights Brigade. An existence from the legends. The nobles realized that the legend had become a reality.

The Northern Alliance probably realized that their secret weapon had been revealed at this moment.

Thanks to the Roan Kingdom, all of the Western continent was now aware of the Wyvern Knights Brigade. This was the reason that the crown prince had played this video in the plaza.

Crown prince Alberu looked into the video communication device and continued to speak. He knew that Cale Henituse would be listening to this from somewhere.

He had been debating this for a while before making up his mind after hearing Cale's comment. "Your highness, the entire kingdom will become heroes."

Alberu and the Roan Kingdom made up their minds at that moment.

The Paerun Kingdom had feigned being fair and just by claiming to be a land of knights. They would do the same.

Alberu recalled what Cale had said.

"Your highness, it isn't as if we are doing something bad. We are just pretending to be a fair and just kingdom."

"Funny bastard."

The Roan Kingdom had made up its mind. They were going to fairly and openly suppress them with their strength.

Alberu started to speak. His voice echoed throughout the banquet hall Cale was sitting in through the video communication device.

> The Roan Kingdom is the kingdom with the longest history on the Western continent.

> Although we may not have any specialties, we have the longest history.

The Roan Kingdom had been the only quiet kingdom since the Indomitable Alliance's proclamation. The Roan Kingdom was the last to make their stance known to the others.

> We will show them the strength of the survivors.

The crown prince confidently addressed the Western continent.

At the same time, the banquet hall was filled with silence, no, with shock. They only just realized the truth. It was dangerous.

They were relieved when they thought that the Northern Alliance would come via ships because of the Bear tribe and the Dwarves.

But wyverns? Now it was a question of life or death.

They heard someone's voice at that moment.

"The wyverns." It was Cale. He looked down at the nobles who were looking at him.

"The Wyvern Knights Brigade will not get past the Henituse territory." He was speaking in a stern voice. "Absolutely not."

Cale walked over to the center of the table and picked up the silver plaque. "I, Cale Henituse, am in charge of the northeast region's military, starting today."

He was respectful in his speech. However, he left them no openings. "You will need to listen to me from here on out."

Cale looked around at the nobles of the southwest and northwest factions who were avoiding his gaze, as well as at the nobles of the other factions who seemed to be in a state of chaos.

"If it is the noble's way to attach themselves to the strong..."

The people who sought power in the eve of war did not deserve to be heroes.

Cale was using today in order to determine the ones who would become heroes and the ones who would survive by attaching themselves to the strong. He needed to know this in order to utilize the nobles properly.

Cale smiled toward the nobles. "...Then you will soon have to decide who you need to attach yourselves to in order to survive."

Cale turned around. He then headed toward the door without any hesitation.

Screech. Screeeech. The sound of chairs moving could be heard.

The Ubarr liege, young master Gilbert who was representing his father, Viscount Chetter, and Count Wheelsman.

These were the people responsible for the northeast region's shores and the entrance to the northeast region. These people all stood up at the same time. They then followed behind Cale.

Screeech- Bang!

The rest of the nobles only realized that they had been left behind once the door was closed. They also realized something else.

The wyverns were coming. That time would soon arrive.

***********************************

The clouds of war covered the Henituse territory.

The Western continent was quiet on the outside ever since the Roan Kingdom's proclamation. However, that was just the calm before the storm.

Rain City, the location of the Henituse Castle.

The shoulders of all of the citizens inside the city were curled up in fear. The citizens who were walking alone or in groups of three or four all had odd expressions on their faces.

Fear, worry, and even some other emotion were all visible on their faces.

One of the citizens who had been walking with a friend pulled his jacket tighter because of the cold weather as he slowly looked around.

He could see the newly fortified castle wall. It was a tall and thick wall.

He could also see soldiers and knights walking around on top of the wall.

The citizen's gaze then headed up to the sky. "...Someone with such a weak body is doing so much."

His friend stopped walking and looked up at the sky as well after hearing him speak.

The tall castle wall surrounded the entire Rain City. However, even that wall could not reach the sky. The citizens could see the cloudy gray winter sky.

'Wyverns are going to invade through the sky?'

They couldn't help but feel fear. However, there was a silver light that caught their attention even more than the cloudy sky.

Rain City. This city could be considered to be small in size. A faint silver shield was currently surrounding the city. The other emotion that was visible on the faces of the citizens along with the fear and worry was relief.

"...Didn't they say that he coughs up blood whenever he uses the shield?"

"That is the case." His friend answered back with a calm expression.

The citizen fixed his gaze up at the sky and started to speak. "It's already been three days."

The Roan Kingdom's northern territories became the most dangerous locations after crown prince Alberu showed the video of the wyverns and claimed that the Roan Kingdom would not lose. The northeast region was the region with the highest risk of attack.

The enemy kingdom of Norland. The Henituse territory in the northeast region was the closest territory to Norland that was across the Forest of Darkness.

That was why the citizens could not help but be in a state of chaos. However, Rain City had been covered by a silver light starting from the night of the proclamation.

They had no idea when the war would begin. The silver shield had not lost its light for even a moment during these past three days.

"Won't he faint if he uses such a large shield? Why doesn't he just activate it when those northern bastards come?"

His friend shook his head and responded back. "Can't you tell? He doesn't want to see us or the territory getting hurt at all."

He could not say anything to his friend's response. Looking up at the sky told him that this was true. Even the tall castle walls could not stop the wyverns.

There were also only a few mages in the Roan Kingdom who could attack something in the sky. That was why the weak young master Cale was overusing his ancient power. The citizen's heart was running wild.

At that moment, one of his other friends casually added on. "I thought he was trash."

The citizen could not help but shout toward his friend. "Bad! How could you!"

A third friend added on. "I looked into it, and they said that he was someone who threw bottles at gangsters! How is that being trash?"

"Didn't he also break stuff? I heard he even broke down some store doors."

"Ahem, well." He could not retort his friend's statement.

To be honest, young master Cale really was trash. You could not erase or change your past. However, it was not enough to look down on his current sacrifice.

"He must have come to his senses. He is our young master-nim now."

"You are right. Our Lord-nim is a good person, so his son the young master-nim must have learned something from him as well."

The citizen nodded to agree with his friend as he looked at the notices placed around Rain City. He was one of the few people who knew how to read.

This was the message on the notices.

The Henituse Estate had opened its warehouse doors. The amount of food they had stored was plentiful enough to give such a proclamation without having a certain end date. The citizen looked toward the castle gate.

There were crowds of citizens who had come after hearing about the silver shield. This was the case even though the Wyvern Knights Brigade would definitely focus their attacks on Rain City and not the rural villages. They still chose to gather together underneath the lord of the territory.

Furthermore, there were many wheelbarrows filled with food from the Henituse warehouse heading toward different spots in the territory. There were also farming tools in some of the wheelbarrows.

"We need to start farming in the spring."

The words Count Deruth had said while handing some farming tools to the citizens were spreading like wildfire.

Those words symbolized a message in the minds of the citizens.

After the war. During the springtime that would come after this late winter. They would be able to return to their lives at that moment.

"I heard that he was working hard even though he is in pain." The citizen looked back up at the sky. 'I pray that he is doing well.'

Cale Henituse. The man who was currently the Military Commander of the northeast region was said to be struggling but continuing to keep up the shield.

And this rumor had spread past the Henituse territory and the northeast region to the rest of the Roan Kingdom.

**********************************

Of course.

"So annoying." Cale Henituse had spread this rumor himself. Cale was currently using his bedroom in the castle as his office.

He leaned back on a comfortable couch and started to speak. "Eric Hyung should be doing well, right?"

"I'm sure he is."

Cale looked toward the smiling Ron and couldn't help but think that he was a scary old man. As for himself, he was a bad person.

He had the military command and yet he only gave orders. Once he did so,

Eric and the Ubarr liege followed his orders to create detailed guidelines to send to the territories.

Furthermore, Ron was the first check for those guidelines, while crown prince Alberu was the second.

Ron had once been the head of one of the top five assassin households in the Eastern continent. He was more experienced in military knowledge than Cale.

Furthermore, crown prince Alberu was focusing everything on the northeast region, which had the highest chances of being invaded first.

'I feel bad but it really is nice when other people do things for you.' Cale was currently relaxed, mainly because all the protective people didn't allow him to do anything.

Ron's smile became cold as soon as Cale's gaze moved away from him. His gaze was focused on Cale, who seemed to be drowning in documents as he thoroughly read through the guidelines and properly gave orders that matched the big picture.

(Tsuki: the hair is wrong... since Cale had just cut his hair...)

He could see Cale's pale expression.

Tap. Tap. Tap. It had been three days. Raon was hitting the floor with his tail from the corner of the room. On and Hong were doing the same thing.

The Black Dragon was currently full of complaints. "...You stupidly good Human!"

"He's right. You're stupid."

"...It's frustrating."

On and Hong chimed in as well while Raon continued to stare at Cale's back.

Raon had said that he would step up to destroy the enemies.

However, this was Cale's response. "No. You could be in danger if you show yourself."

Cale had sounded very stern.

Raon had responded back to that. "Who and what would put a great and mighty Dragon in danger?"

However, Cale had no plans on revealing Raon when he still did not know much about the crown that drank Dragon blood.

He had not had any time to meet the ancient Dragon Eruhaben. Furthermore, he needed to create heroes this time.

That would give those people a way to live a peaceful life. That would also help the Roan Kingdom become stronger.

Dark Elf.

Necromancer.

The Tiger tribe.

And the Henituse territory.

Those were the names of the heroes Cale was planning on creating.

He wanted to shake the hearts of the kingdom and the continent. An emotional story was necessary in order to do such a thing.

Cale quickly looked through the final document before leaning back on the couch, eating the cookies in his mouth.

The Indestructible Shield had definitely gotten stronger than before. Maybe it was because it did not need to block anything right now, but just keeping it up like this was not that hard.

Of course, this was all thanks to the Vitality of the Heart. He was fine even without getting much sleep these days. Just one or two hours was enough to feel refreshed.

Cale looked out the window with a satisfied expression. He could see the cloudy sky and the faint shield.

It was at that moment.

"Cale-nim, isn't it tiring?" It was Choi Han.

Cale turned his gaze to the side. 'One-lifer doesn't seem to age. What a sad life.'

"It is not that hard. I am currently writing a new history of the kingdom."

'Yes, yes indeed. That's what I've come back for.' The original novel and the past life had been completely changed. That was why it was a new history.

Usually, doing such a thing would be cumbersome. Although it was cumbersome, it wasn't that hard on his body and he didn't mind doing such things for his family.

Cale looked back out the window. Choi Han started to frown while looking at Cale, who was leaning on the couch with a pale expression and looking out the window.

'How could a person be like this?' Choi Han could not understand. He touched his scabbard as he started to think.

A new history. Choi Han focused on those words.

Cale did not care as he casually lifted up the warm cup of tea that Ron brought over for him.

'Hmm?' It was a sweet tea that he actually liked. Cale peeked toward Ron, who had his usually benign smile.

Cale started to think. 'I guess Ron is worried as well. He didn't even bring me lemon tea.'

Cale looked toward Ron with a smile before turning his gaze away and drinking the tea. He took a large gulp since it was sweet.

"Pffff-!" He then spat it all out.

Raon stomped one of his short paws and flew up into the air. A black spot could be seen in the distance. And soon enough.

Baaaaang! The sky roared.

Cale stood up while wiping away the tea from his face. 'Damn bastards, it's a rare sweet tea that Ron made for me!'

The black dot almost instantaneously flew over and crashed into the sky. It was the wyverns. One, two. More black dots started to fly over to them.

Boom, boom! The sky was becoming filled with these noises.

Wiiiiiiiiing- Wiiiiiiing- An emergency alarm went out throughout Rain City.

The enemy was here. This casual afternoon would be the start of the war.

"Everybody, calm down! Move according to the guide knight's instructions!" The knight shouted out loud as he directed the scared citizens to safety. The soldiers helped the citizens move to safety, just as they had practiced in advance.

Tap. Tap. Tap. All of the houses throughout the city closed their doors. They were expecting to hear the citizens locking their doors. However, no sound of doors being locked could be heard.

Tap. Tap. Tap. The armored knights and equipped soldiers moved from the castle walls and throughout the city. However, none of this could be heard as well.

Boom- boom! The noise of the wyverns ramming into the shield was too loud to hear anything else.

Rooooooooooar! The roars of the wyverns were the only other thing that could be heard in Rain City.

The citizens of the city all had pale expressions. This was the first time they had personally seen a wyvern. Even the smallest one was at least 5 meters long.

The knight on top who was controlling the large monster looked like a small dot.

However, the knights who were wearing armor as white as snow seemed experienced in controlling these violent wyverns, making the soldiers and knights all gulp.

Click. Click. The citizens started to peek out their windows.

Will the shield break? Does that mean we will all die?

They were looking toward the castle walls with fear.

It was at that moment.

"...It is the young master-nim!" One of the citizens who was looking out the window subconsciously shouted.

Cale had appeared on the castle wall. A bright silver light was coming out of both of his hands. Cale walked over to the center of the castle wall and reached his hands up to the sky.

The knights and soldiers were watching him from the closest distance. This was their first ever war.

A loud and firm voice soon reached their ears. "The shield will not break!"

It was an armored Count Deruth. The usually mellow and average looking Count's face was scary looking today. "Everybody focus!"

The pounding on the shield and the wyverns' roars were not as loud as the Count's voice.

Cale listened to Count Deruth's voice and started to smile. 'Father is surprisingly talented.'

It was the moment that he was evaluating his father's abilities.

Baaaaang-! A noise that was louder than before echoed inside the shield.

Cale started to frown.

15 meters. An extremely large wyvern looked down at Cale who was inside the shield and opened its mouth. It was impossible for normal wyverns to be 15 meters long.

This white wyvern seemed to be a mutant.

Cale started to speak. "You're here."

He knew this person would come. He was waiting for this person on top of the white wyvern. The Paerun Kingdom's Guardian Knight.

The white-haired Clopeh Sekka. He pulled the wyvern back and looked down toward Cale.

The two of them made eye contact.

Clopeh Sekka looked down at Cale and started to speak. "Everything will crumble once we destroy the shield."

He too had seen the Roan Kingdom's video. Clopeh had decided to destroy this longest surviving kingdom without any power first after watching the video.
