You were made to farm, and now you're the emperor of an empire?

Chapter 345 The White Riders Raid the Camp
Tasina said coldly, "We need a victory, a resounding victory!"

She stared coldly at the camp outside the city.

“We’ve already won a lot of games,” Turner said.

"That doesn't change anything. We need a win outside of defense to buy us some time..."

Tashina turned and left the spot, having been passively defending the city.

"Your Highness, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Night raid! Seize the camp! Launch a night attack and catch them completely off guard!"

Turner was shocked to hear this; he had never heard of such a tactic before.

What kind of garrison would voluntarily leave the city?
But Tashina had made up her mind. She kept walking, and the guards made way for her.

During this time, this princess in the palace has won everyone's respect. She is strong and beautiful, single-handedly carving out a cloud ladder and holding off a hundred men single-handedly, like a Valkyrie who stepped out of Arctic mythology. Some call her the 'White Steel Princess'.

Tashina came to a cloaked man whose cloak was so wide and thick that it covered his entire body.

His sword-wielding hand was withered and bony, yet still remarkably strong. The nearby guards witnessed the cloaked man wreaking havoc; neither swordsmen nor knights could stop him.

Only a very few people know that the cenotaph of the conqueror Ionus is buried in the southern forest, and it is known to the world as the Tomb of the Former King.

Those who guard the tomb of the former king are called tomb keepers.

There were only a dozen or so of them, all from the tomb of the former king. It was as if they had been guarding there for many years. Children who lived in Blackburg a hundred years ago may have seen them, and later, the grandchildren of those children may have seen them as well. They remained there, unmoved and steadfast, living in seclusion. It was unclear whether they were the same group of people or different people of the same group.

“Teacher, you’re coming with me to raid the camp tonight,” Tashina said. She was trained by the gravedigger, who taught her martial arts and knowledge, forging her into a tough steel plate.

The cloaked tomb keeper said in a hoarse voice, "Son of Ionus, my princess, we are willing to die for you."

Then he blew the whistle of the forest barbarians—south of Blackburg, south of the mountains, lies a vast primeval forest inhabited by a cannibalistic tribe. It is said to be an unknown and terrifying world where cannibals communicate using various sounds. The whistle's sharp sound travels extremely far, audible only to those with exceptionally keen ears or certain animals.

Before long, the other tomb keepers gathered in this direction.

“You must wear armor,” Tashina said.

These tomb guardians were all stronger than her; they were all high-ranking knights, ranging from sixth to seventh rank, representing the royal family's core strength.

“Your Highness, we have armor,” said the gravedigger, “but we haven’t worn it for many years, and our warhorses are very old.”

Tashina had seen their armor, forged from oriental copper and mithril, weighing five hundred pounds. It was said to be white steel, but it wasn't steel. The armor required nine hundred pounds of oriental copper and one hundred pounds of mithril as materials, making it extremely expensive.

It is both light and heavy, and its entire body is a brilliant silver-white. People call that metal 'white steel'. The knights who wear that armor are called 'white knights', and the warhorses they ride are also different from those of other knights.

Over a hundred years ago, during the time of the conquerors, they and knights of other colors followed the conquerors in their conquests.

Tashina herself also wore armor made of 'white steel', only lighter than the Gravekeeper's armor because it contained more mithril.

She advised, "If it doesn't fit, add more padding."

There is no light tonight.

The winch in Blackburg is turning.

The massive city gate creaked open.

Princess White Steel led a thousand knights out of the north gate. She led the way, clad in pure white plate armor, wielding 'White Dawn'—Ionos's sword, forged from meteorite iron and mithril. Its milky-white blade emitted a dazzling and brilliant light, as radiant as the pure white dawn. The conqueror had used this sword to illuminate the dark ages of over a hundred years ago.

Princess Steel charged at the forefront.

Her warhorse possessed divine steed blood and was fed with secret medicine, making it far stronger than ordinary warhorses and capable of galloping at lightning speed.

Some noble knights also take secret medicines, which are made from a mixture of herbs and magic stone powder. These medicines can greatly enhance a creature's physical attributes and extend its lifespan and peak performance.

Her armor was not a face shield, but a crown-like helmet that covered her long, red river-like hair, making her look heroic and dashing. A bright feather was inserted on the top of the helmet, indicating her royal status.

Princess Stainless Steel felt the fierce wind on her face, the air flowing fearfully to her sides. She felt her blood surging, and unparalleled confidence and power coursing through her body. Her eyes were emerald green, shining with a cold light like jade.

The holy warriors in the camp heard the thunderous roar and immediately panicked.

It was a consensus among the Jihad Army that they would attack cities during the day and rest at night, and no defensive fortifications were prepared.

Even if they sensed it beforehand, they had no power to resist.

Princess White Steel charged in first, followed by her knights who rode into the camp without feeling any resistance.

These heavenly soldiers moved in as if they were in an empty field.

Tashina held the 'White Dawn' in her hand, releasing a dazzling white light. Those who witnessed it were blinded by its blinding brilliance.

Even the most valiant holy knights, in such a chaotic night, were like headless flies, unable to launch a counterattack.

Tahithina's goal was extremely clear.

She struck the main tent of the Holy War Army like lightning.

boom!
The massive camp was smashed to pieces by the White Steel Knight!
The tough leather was sliced ​​open as if by a sharp sword, the heavy cloth was torn to shreds, and the wooden frame structure burst apart.

A warhorse of divine lineage carried its master in, leaping in like a pure white celestial horse, soaring two or three meters high.

Princess White Steel looked down from her high position, and in that instant, in the brightly lit main tent, she saw a group of high-ranking generals of the Holy War Army. Some were panicked, some drew their swords and rushed forward, and some looked bewildered. Beside them were burning torches, tables full of food, and maps hanging on the tents...

She took everything in, and said in a clear, harsh voice, "I am the Son of Conquest! You disgraceful traitors, face the coming royal punishment! Watch me tear you apart alive!"

She was a descendant of kings, the princess of the Black Iron. She and her warhorse flew through the sky, her pure white figure blooming in the air, slender as a steel blade, beautiful yet terrifying. She held a long sword with blazing flames, slashing and cutting down, killing a large number of unarmored generals in the camp in just a few leaps.

"The White Knights fight for the Son of Ionus!" a loud shout came from outside, and then several more knights in full white armor rushed in to join the slaughter.

Those who resist and those who panic will not escape this judgment by the king.

Finally, the great tent could no longer bear the weight and collapsed. The dome descended, and Princess White Steel, riding her warhorse, along with a group of white knights, tore through the heavy tent roof and came to the outside world, where they cut down the banner of the gods.

'War! War! I was born for war!' She had just won her first great victory, and her blood seemed to be burning with excitement. She felt that she had been born for this moment.

On this night, following Princess White Steel and her sword, they charged back and forth through the camp, killing every living thing they could see, burning every tent they could see, and destroying supplies and warhorses.

As dawn approached, the raiders finally withdrew from the ravaged camp.

I couldn't keep up with the extra chapters I promised yesterday, so there will be no update today. I'll post four chapters tomorrow, and I'll try to make up for the missed chapters this month.
