Starting With an SSS-Rank Swordsmanship Talent

Chapter 331: Title at the End

Alaric looked at the warriors before him and felt a bit emotional. A year ago, he couldn’t even command more than fifty warriors, but in front of him now stood one thousand fierce warriors. Moreover, this still wasn’t the full strength of House Silversword!

“As we speak, the soldiers of Harune are marching towards the western borders of our nation!” He announced with a grim voice. His words made everyone frown.

“Their goal is to slaughter our countrymen and turn…”

Alaric had already prepared his speech before coming here. This was necessary to invoke the fighting spirit of his troops.

Looking at the agitated soldiers, Alaric knew that his desired outcome had been fulfilled. Now, it was time to give them the mission.

“All of you will follow me to the western borders! We must stop the invaders from attacking our lands!”

“We will follow Your Highness!” The warriors replied sonorously.

Alaric was pleased. He then told them to inform their families about their departure before he dismissed them excluding the demonkin, Azazel.

“How was your stay in the town?” Alaric asked him with a faint smile.

Azazel still had his usual gloomy look, but his face had noticeably become more radiant.

“Thanks to Your Highness’ efforts, the residents are no longer afraid of me,” Azazel replied in a respectful tone.

Alaric had never neglected him. He educated the people and told them that Azazel was different from the demonkins mentioned in the books.

Because of his efforts, the townspeople gradually accepted Azazel. Although some still held prejudices toward him, the situation was a lot better than when he first arrived in the town.

“I am glad to hear that.”

Alaric nodded.

“For this mission in the western borders, I planned to bring you to inform everyone that you are already one of us.”

Hearing this, the demonkin was surprised. It took more than three months to convince the residents of North Pine Town so he was uncertain whether Alaric’s plan would work. However, the fact that Alaric had thought of his well-being made him immensely grateful.

“Thank you, my lord.” He had already made his choice to follow this man.

Alaric tapped his shoulder and smiled lightly. “It is what I should do.”

He talked with the demonkin about other matters before he sent him off.

The next day, before the sun had risen, Alaric headed to the training ground to complete his daily mission.

His eyes gleamed with anticipation as he began his weighted exercises.

1000 weighted pull-ups ☑️

1000 weighted squats ☑️

1 hour weighted planking ☑️

After completing the first set, he moved to the next part which was the mana-infused sword training.

He had already lost count of how many times he had done these exercises so he no longer felt tired when executing them.

1000 mana-infused vertical slashes ☑️

1000 mana-infused horizontal slashes ☑️

1000 mana-infused stabs ☑️

Alaric immediately distributed his stat points to his vitality.

[You have reached the requirements for your next advancement. Do you want to use 10000 Battle Points to advance?]

Seeing this, Alaric didn’t hesitate and excitedly clicked [Yes].

With his breakthrough, an oppressive aura suddenly burst forth, alerting the warriors on duty.

In the next moment, almost a hundred warriors arrived at the training ground to inspect the situation, but they were shocked when they realized where the aura came from.

“His Highness has advanced!”

“Transcendent Knight before the age of 20?!”

Everyone gasped in disbelief as they watched the sweaty-faced Alaric who was currently in the middle of observing his status panel.

“Only a few months had passed since His Highness became an Elite Knight and he had already made another breakthrough. Meanwhile, I’m still stuck at the peak of the Elite Knight realm…” Sighed Fredrinn who was among the gathered crowd.

It wasn’t just him, many of the warriors were lamenting their inferior talent. Compared to Alaric, their speed of advancement was rubbish.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Alaric with a ’whoosh’.

“You… so you were talking about yourself yesterday.” Lucas stared at his son with a dumbfounded look.

Hearing his father’s voice, Alaric closed the cyan screen and smiled at him.

Seeing his son’s smug expression, Lucas could only shake his head. He thought that he was the most talented in Astania, but it seemed like his son’s talent and potential were double his own.

However, he didn’t feel jealous about this. Instead, he felt immense pride and elation.

“You have made me proud, son. Congratulations on your advancement.” Lucas tapped his son’s shoulder with unconcealed joy.

“Congratulations on your advancement, Your Highness!” The warriors also congratulated him. Their loud sonorous voice almost awakened everyone in the estate.

Soon, more people arrived to congratulate him, including his two mothers and his wife.

Alaric thanked everyone one by one.

“When are you planning to depart?” Lucas suddenly asked.

Hearing this, everyone turned to Alaric. They had already been made aware of the advancing Harune troops.

Alaric’s expression became serious as he responded. “We will leave today.”

Everyone was stunned, not expecting him to leave so soon.

“Are you not going to celebrate your advancement?” Maria asked with concern.

Alaric shook his head. “I cannot celebrate knowing that the western borders of our nation will be attacked soon. Please forgive me, Mom.”

Maria sighed at his response.

“Do you want to borrow my troops?” Jade stared at her son.

Alaric shook his head. “I have more than enough people for this trip. The estate also needs someone to defend it so it will be better for them to stay here.”
