The Life Form He Had Long Dreamed Of (Third Update, Last Month's Make-Up Update 11/15)

However, something happened that disappointed Liszt.

The Swift-Flying Sword Saint, who had been overwhelmingly suppressing Fredo in their sword duel, did not choose to charge forward and fight to the death. Instead, he broke through the encirclement and led the knights in flight toward Snake Tooth City.

Snake Tooth City was the central metropolis of the Viper Mountains. Beside it stood the towering Serpent Coil Castle, rising between two mountain peaks, easy to defend and hard to attack. Clearly, Flying Harvest Count had communicated with Marquis Snake Fang beforehand, abandoning the strategic position of Castle of Many Hands and retreating to defend Serpent Coil Castle.

From now on, we can occupy Castle of Many Hands and threaten the safety of Marquis Snake Fang's knight order. Vast stretches of territory now lie under the threat of our knight order."

Roger Golden Wheat was immensely excited.
