As Kraftvoll and the others started departing from the manor of the leader of the territory, Hertfordshire city, the younger brother of Earl Alard introduced himself to them.
"Greetings, I am Alucard Le Bourbon, younger brother of Earl Alard. Nice to meet you," he said with a smile.
After this, Ross explained everything to him.
After a brief explanation, they immediately departed to their main destination.
There was only one territory that they needed to transverse to reach the royal capital. It is the territory called the Pendragon City, a territory under the one of Walkiria Kingdom's Duke named Gawain von Pendragon.
Duke Gawain von Pendragon was one of the top 20 supreme experts of the Nidriege Welt Continent, which means that his seishin cultivation was in the rank of Majestic Seishin Demigod.
After traveling for another couple of days, they finally reached the natural borders of the territories between territories of Hertfordshire City and Pendragon City.
The Earl of Hertfordshire sent his younger brother to guarantee the safety of Kraftvoll. Except for the fact that Kraftvoll had enormous potential in the future, he was also the one and only student of the King, meaning that protecting him can help them regain favors from the king himself.
The king was known by his subjects as an overbearing and arrogant person but all nobilities knew that despite these traits, the king was benevolent to those whom he owed something.
Since King Arthur's cultivation was topnotch among the continent's powerhouses, it's hard for the nobles to gain his favor because the king was in the level where everything can be grasped by him without anyone's help so this was a great opportunity for the earl of Hertfordshire City to earn the king's favor.
Which was why, when he heard about Kraftvoll's status, he immediately commanded some of his men and even one of his brother to assist them despite his previous refusal.
Unlike their previous strategies back in the Valkyrie Forest, the one that bordered the Hertfordshire city and Hampshire City, Ross and Alucard planned to spread out their killing intent this time.
This move made the seishin beast weaker that they lost their fighting spirit.
Based on their cultivation level of both of them, no seishin beast that was in this part of Valkyrie Forest was a match for them meaning that no seishin beasts dared to get in their way.
Although this time, they were more prepared than their previous battle, the strongest soldiers now that accompanied Kraftvoll and Belle except Ross and Alucard were in the same cultivation that of Stark, which was Seishin Mid Sage.
Alucard was a seishin practitioner of the element of wind.
In every ten minutes, he was using his wind detection spell to quickly detect enemies that might pose dangers to them.
His spell range was much bigger than the other scouts that accompanied Kraftvoll and the others, which was why, when enemies started to approach them, they will have time to prepare for combat.
Hours have passed since they have entered the Valkyrie Forest and they are near the territory of Pendragon city.
"It seems like there are no more pursuers." said one soldier.
"Hey! Don't jinx it!" the other soldier replied.
As soon as the two soldiers finished their casual conversation, Alucard shouted, "The enemies are approaching! Prepare for battle!"
All the soldiers draw their weapons. And the two soldiers that were talking earlier looked at each other while sweating cold sweats.
After a few minutes, the enemy attacked at full force. The enemies were not able to sneak attack this time because Kraftvoll and the others were prepared this time.
The enemies' band of soldiers was composed of Draconian, Orcs, and Demi-beast, the three races from the Dark Alliance.
This made Ross and Alucard certain that the attacks to the Kingdom's territory were, in fact, a planned attack by the enemy alliance, Dark Alliance.
A fierce battle started between the groups.
The enemy's side had two Lower Seishin Overlord ranked practitioners, making both sides fight a stalemate battle.
