Chapter 6 - Chapter 6 (Victory & retaliation)

As the kingdom's soldiers and knights were still reeling from the shock of the dark knight's disappearance, the dark sorcerer was monitoring the kingdom's troops through a crystal ball and reporting back to the Dark Lord. "My lord, I have been observing the enemy's movements, and I have discovered something intriguing."

The Dark Lord's curiosity was piqued, "What is it, dark sorcerer?" The sorcerer replied, "I have eliminated the remaining dark knights to prevent them from revealing our secrets. The enemy seems to be puzzled by the prophecy."

Upon hearing this, the Dark Lord's anger flared, "Why did you kill my remaining knights?" as he raised his sword towards the sorcerer. The sorcerer hastily explained, "My lord, our knights are comprised of harvested souls. After destroying the remaining knights, I was able to reclaim their souls, allowing us to summon them again."

The Dark Lord's expression transformed from anger to delight, "With this, our army will be known as the Legion of Eternity!" The dark sorcerer was met with cheers and applause from the dark forces, "Hail the dark sorcerer!"

As the celebration ensued, a dragon rider arrived, bearing news from the battlefield. "Great Dark Lord, I have gathered intelligence on our enemy." The Dark Lord inquired, "What news do you bring, my rider?"

The dragon rider reported, "I witnessed the enemy's vast reserves of troops, which inflicted significant damage on our dragon. I am certain that the humans and monsters are collaborating to counter us." Upon learning this, the Dark Lord instructed the dragon rider to tend to the wounded dragon, "See to the dragon's recovery, and thank you for bringing me this information."

As the dragon rider departed, the Dark Lord summoned his dark sorcerer and the remaining dark forces to convene and discuss their next move.

Meanwhile, the kingdom's soldiers were jubilant, still in disbelief that they had managed to defend their territory. However, their celebration was short-lived, as the kingdom's knight, William, and H. Jason ordered their troops to bury their fallen comrades, "Hear me, men! As a token of respect for our fallen brothers, let us lay them to rest with dignity, that they may find peace."

The kingdom's soldiers promptly buried their fallen comrades and held a memorial service. Afterward, they returned to the kingdom under the leadership of William and H. Jason. During their journey, H. Jason inquired about William's name, "May I ask, sir, what is your name?"

William playfully responded, "Why not? My name is William." H. Jason was delighted to learn William's name, "Nice to meet you, William." William replied, "The pleasure is mine, Henry."
