Chapter 427 - Taking Control II

“Now, then,” Leon loudly said as Roland saw to Gellius. “Who’s next?”

“I’m… not done yet!” Gellius shouted as he tried to struggle back to his feet. Roland pulled back a bit...

Chapter 426 - Taking Control I

The day after their first clash with Duronius’ army was one of rest and recovery. Both sides watched each other quite closely, but neither made any significant moves against the other.

Since...

Chapter 425 - Regroup

In the wake of the battle with Duke Duronius, August ordered the entire army to take a few days of rest and relaxation. They weren’t allowed to leave the camp unless they were on official business...

Chapter 424 - Stakes

“So, how did it go on your end?” Roland asked Leon as they rode along toward the camp where August had returned once the battle was over.

“Fairly well…” Leon replied, quickly giving Rola...

Chapter 423 - Softly Striking the Anvil

The unit of Octavius’ army that had turned to face Leon had been broken. Leon and the giants had cracked it open, and then the rest of the knights and their followers smashed it to pieces, routing...

Chapter 422 - The Hammer

Leon glanced around at his unit as he rejoined it. It had been about ten minutes since he had left to bring Baron Gellius’ troops back under control, and in that time, the rest of the Barons and l...

Chapter 421 - A Good Start

Just in case you missed the announcement, I made a map for the continent of Aeterna! Check it out here! I will, of course, imp...

Chapter 420 - The Lion's Charge

Roland and August’s forces established contact when they were about a days’ march apart from each other—about twenty-five miles or so. Their scouts had also managed to find Duke Duronius’ force...

Aeterna world map

It's only a rough draft, so I could definitely use some feedback on this. Had to downscale and remove some detail since Squarespace has a 20 MB file limit =(

Chapter 419 - Three Battalions

Small announcement after the chapter. Nothing that affects patrons, though, but I figured it was best to give all of you a heads-up, too.

It wasn’t an easy path for August and the ...

Chapter 418 - Immediate Deployment

There was no time for Leon and the others to rest once they reached Ironford. A group of one hundred stone giants was hard to miss, especially with so many panicked messengers from eastern towns an...

Chapter 417 - Decision and Indecision

It was, in Valeria’s mind, a strange mystery. Why were the giants so willing to follow Leon? It seemed so strange, so illogical, that after thousands of years fighting against the Bull Kingdom, th...

Chapter 416 - Allegiances

As soon as Leon ...

Chapter 415 - New Missions

Leon couldn’t enchant his gift to Elise right away; rather, he and the Thunderbird needed to first plan out what he wanted to do with it, and that process alone would take days, followed by weeks ...

Chapter 414 - Golden Lotus

The forges of Ironford were never cold. They turned out weapons, armor, and accessories of all kinds by the hundreds, making the city the single largest producer of war material in the entire Kingd...

Chapter 413 - Pleione

Naiad ascended the stairs to the summit of the Great Pyramid. It was a long climb, but her eighth-tier body made it with ease. As she drew closer to the blue light that surrounded the peak, it stea...

Chapter 412 - Saron

Journeying across the large Bull Kingdom was something that Naiad could do quite effortlessly. The Naga River and all of its branches and tributaries ran up and down its length, from the farthest r...

Chapter 411 - Time to Think

When Leon thought about war, he imagined an incredibly intense conflict, something that would grind thousands of warriors into bloody meat on a daily basis. For the most part, that was accurate to ...

Chapter 410 - Tullius' Interrogation

The palace in Ironford was a nice place, Gaius had to admit, especially since he was a prisoner. Despite this, he was afforded all the care and comfort he could ask for; the only thing he couldn’t...

Chapter 409 - Changing Strategy

“… and they haven’t moved since?” August asked as he stared down from the cliffside battlements at the Central Consul’s army.

“No, Your Highness, they’ve been maintaining their positio...

Chapter 408 - Defending the Castle

Leon, Valeria, and Alix all shared a suite of small apartments in the castle since the latter two were in the former’s retinue—Valeria as Leon’s de facto second-in-command, and Alix a...

Chapter 407 - Status of the Pass

Hey, if you haven't yet, please be sure to visit Royal Road and leave a rating or review! Every one of...

Chapter 406 - Prisoners

“I… surrender…” Gaius said, barely able to get the words out. He had about a dozen knights and minor Lords there with him to formally surrender as well, since, despite Gaius being officially in...

Chapter 405 - Gaius' Decision

“Let’s go! Keep moving!” Gaius shouted as he, Victoria, Marius, and all the rest of the remaining leaders in their army urged their people onward. It had been a terrible few days, with the army ...

Chapter 404 - The Lion in the Valley

“Their foraging parties were large, too large for all of them to be hit, but we got quite a few,” Grim reported to Leon. “Our casualties were minimal, while theirs were substantial.”...

Chapter 403 - Wild Success

If you didn't notice it, I made a map of the Bull Kingdom yesterday! It's much more detailed and overall much better looking than the one I made way back, so if you haven't yet, be sure 2020-02-21 16:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post

Just made a proper map of the Bull Kingdom ;)

I was asked on Discord about the possibility of making a map of the Bull Kingdom, and during that conversation, Fastus recommended I use a program called Wonderdraft rather than MS Paint. So I did,...

Chapter 402 - First Command

Gaius groggily shook his head, trying to clear his head of the high-pitched whining and ringing in his ears. Something had just happened, he was sure of it, but the pounding in his brain was preven...

Chapter 401 - Night Raid II

It didn’t take long for the fires to be brought back under control. Octavius’ forces had been taken completely by surprise, but with a few water mages in their ranks, the rain that continued to h...

Chapter 400 - Night Raid I

The knightly host began to set up camp around forty-five miles from Ironford—barely a day’s march on good terrain, but in the hills and forests it would take them more like three days to reach th...
