On a hill on the other side of the plains.
"Hu…" There was only a long sigh that rang out, there were no words that were said.
The second prince's group watched the slaughter that was in front of them without a single word.
The looks on their faces were more than enough.
They looked on with terror as they watched all of this happening in front of them.
After a long silence, the second prince said, "It seems that there's someone else terrifying in this kingdom that we can't look down on…First there was the fourth prince and now there's this person…"
One of his followers couldn't help saying, "Could it be that this was just luck?"
The second prince immediately glared at that person that had spoken and said, "Do you think that it's just luck?"
When that person heard this, they immediately lowered their head in shame.
After all, the ones that followed the second prince were anything but useless.
The second prince was not an empty vase, so the ones that followed him were naturally not empty vases either.
These people were elites that had been chosen from all over their Midra Kingdom, so of course they could see through the situation in front of them.
If he wasn't an idiot, why would he ask this kind of dumb question?
Well it was because he was just too shocked…
How was he supposed to react to this slaughter that he was presented with?
The second prince knew that this was the case, so he didn't hold it against this follower of his for too long. He knew that this scene was just too shocking for normal people to react to, so it wasn't strange for them to act this way.
After a long silence, the second prince said, "Alright, forget it. Let's go back, we need to make our preparations."
He turned to leave, but his followers didn't leave right away.
They took one more look at the slaughter that they were leaving behind them and revealed worried expressions, but they still followed the second prince in the end.
…
On the other side.
I suddenly went over to where General Killock was and said, "You can stop them from firing arrows now. There's no point in wasting more arrows."
General Killock almost seemed like he was going to let out a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he stopped himself in the end.
He just gave a simple nod before giving the order.
When he turned back, he asked in a hesitant voice, "What do we do about the rest of them? Do we accept their surrender or…?"
His voice trailed off as he said this, but it was very clear what he was implying with the tone of his voice and the way that he looked at me.
I didn't answer right away as I looked at the carnage that was in front of us.
After a long silence, I said with a nod, "You can capture anyone that wants to surrender and as for the corpses, just leave them for the Blood Worms."
General Killock revealed a strange look when he heard this, but then he said, "How are we supposed to capture them? If we go out, we'll be attacked by the Blood Worms as well, right?"
I shook my head as I said, "No, that's not the case. After the first attack, the Blood Worms will go into hibernation since they have enough food now. At the same time, it's noise that will wake them up, so just make sure to send small groups to capture the enemy soldiers."
The way that General Killock looked at me became even more strange.
I could see this, so I said with a smile, "Is it strange that I know so much about these Blood Worms?"
General Killock just kept looking at me with the same look on his face for a bit before slowly shaking his head and saying, "No, if you didn't know about these things, you wouldn't have been able to set this trap in the first place."
I just said with a simple nod, "There's no need for you to worry so much about this. This is my secret after all. Just go and capture the surviving enemies."
General Killock just looked at me with a complicated look for a bit before nodding in agreement.
Our soldiers were surprisingly very sympathetic to the enemies and did what they could to rescue the ones that were alive. However, the slaughter had been very thorough and they weren't able to escape in time, so there were many casualties.
In total, we rescued only around twenty thousand people.
There were a total of one hundred and twenty thousand troops that came to invade in the first place.
That meant that there were a hundred thousand people that had either been killed or gone missing.
As for our side, there were only a few hundred casualties and that was because they had misjudged the trajectory of the arrows. They had suffered minor injuries because of these arrows, so they couldn't really be considered casualties in the first place.
We had been outnumbered fifty thousand to one hundred and twenty thousand and yet this was the result…
When it was all over, General Killock looked at me like I was a monster.
Well, it wasn't just him that looked at me like this, the other officers all looked at me the same way.
There was no one that doubted my abilities anymore, so even the tone that they spoke to me had changed.
I didn't care about any of this since this was what I had already expected.
Instead, I asked, "Did you manage to capture any of the enemy's commanders?"
General Killock was still dazed when I asked this, but he eventually said with a nod, "We managed to capture the general and vice general…" He had to pause for a bit as he revealed a strange look before saying, "Though I don't think we'll be able to get any useful information from them."
I raised a brow in doubt, but I still had General Killock take me to meet them.
When I did meet them, I understood what he meant by this.
