The ominous aura was formless and formless but it caused an obvious pressure on the group.
Fanner and Torstar frowned at the same time and stopped their steps.
Jyaichi looked up to the sky in confusion.
Ganarde walked out of the forest with a heavy face.
Obviously, Fanner and Torstar, who were slightly weaker, only instinctively noticed that something was wrong. Jyaichi, who was slightly stronger, could already sense something and Ganarde, who was the strongest among them, could faintly see something.
"My lord, something isn't right."
Ganarde was as agile as an ape, he jumped beside the wagon and reported to Kieran softly.
Kieran nodded slightly, his SSS + Intuition allowed him to see the situation clearly.
The sky above the southern reinforcement camp was filled with tents and flags were fluttering in the wind. The presence that made him frown was rumbling like a dark cloud.
It was dark and dense, like a monster with a blurry figure, ready to devour the southern reinforcement camp below. However, everything was normal in the camp, as if they didn't feel the changes above their heads.
"So this is what you are relying on?"
Kieran muttered to himself and knocked on the carriage softly.
Dok, Dok Dok.
Mary came down from the wagon after the rhythmic knocking.
The sharp-witted princess also noticed that something was wrong.
"What kind of power is this?"
Mary frowned at Kieran.
"Where did your aunt come from?"
Kieran asked with a smile.
"Ghastly Woods?
The power of the curse! "
The young princess instantly reacted to the situation but her face changed right away.
If one were to ask what kind of power was the most dreadful among the many powers, the power of curses would definitely be ranked at the top. That formless and strange power would cause one's expression to change most of the time.
"Leave everything to me."
Kieran said as he patted Mary's head. He then looked at Fanner.
Fanner immediately understood what Kieran meant. He tidied up his clothes and rode towards the southern reinforcement camp.
With Mary's identity, she should be welcomed and not allowed to enter the camp directly.
It was the honor of Warren's successor.
Wuuuuuuuuuuu!
A loud horn sounded from the southern reinforcement camp. A team of cavalrymen in bright armor rushed out of the camp and lined up on both sides of the gate.
The heavy antlers and barricades were removed one by one.
A scarlet velvet blanket was spread out from the camp. A group of lavishly dressed important figures stepped on the blanket and walked out from within.
They didn't stop but went straight to Mary and bowed to her.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
There were a total of ten people in this group.
Bosco, the advisor of King James VIII, was the most familiar among them. He was currently winking at Kieran, and the corner of his mouth kept glancing at the two young men beside him.
The two young men looked very similar. Apart from one of them having a beard, they both wore full sets of metal armor and had long swords at their waists.
Kieran's gaze swept past the two young men. Without any pause, he looked behind him.
Six tall, short, fat, and thin men of different ages stood there respectfully.
Different family emblems were branded on the chest area of their armor.
Behind the six of them was an elderly man. Compared to the men in front, the elderly man didn't just wear a brown robe, he looked very calm and didn't seem nervous at all.
Comparing the information he got before, Kieran was able to identify the other people at the scene.
The two young men were the sons of Duke Will.
The six men behind them were the six barons of Will Prefecture.
The elderly man was the other duke of Will Prefecture — the one in name but not in reality.
Mary, who had been through a real battle before, didn't have the slightest fear when facing a group of fully armed men. Quite the contrary, her calm gaze made some of the men in the group feel uneasy, especially the second son of Duke Will. The young man, who was well-protected by his father and brother, looked at Mary with an interested gaze at first, but when he caught Mary's gaze, his eyes shrunk.
However, when he realized his shrunk back, his pride as a man forced him to retaliate.
But …
When he mustered the courage to look at Mary again, he saw a black figure.
It was calm and cold.
A cold feeling rose from his heart the moment he saw the figure.
He felt like he heard the wails of the dead.
He felt like he saw mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
His face turned pale.
He, his footsteps did not stop retreating.
He only stopped when he bumped into one of the barons behind him.
It was at that moment that the second son realized he wasn't the only one. Everyone else in the scene, except for Bosco, had the same reaction.
Including his powerful elder brother.
The old count's second son gulped, trying to wet his dry throat and was about to say something, but before he could open his mouth, the old count's second son swallowed his saliva.
Mary nodded slightly.
"Mm."
She responded in a nasal voice with the pride of an underage princess.
Coincidentally, Kieran raised his arm and placed it in front of Mary.
Mary put her palm on it and walked away.
Kieran followed slowly.
Both of them straightened their backs and walked in sync. A faint aura of might emanated from Kieran, causing the important figures from the southern reinforcement army to open up a path for them.
When both of them walked on the velvet carpet, the important figures came back to their senses and followed them with unfriendly faces.
They thought they were insulted.
They were used to being respected in their own land, so they turned their gazes to the eldest son of the old duke.
Celder felt the gazes.
But he wasn't in a hurry.
Compared to his immature brother, Celder didn't just have a beard, he also had patience.
He first responded to the nobles in his land with his gaze. Then, he subtly glanced at Bosco and the useless duke, who didn't move at all.
Celder didn't care about the two of them.
Similar to how he didn't care about the dogs on the side of the road.
In fact, in Celder's heart, the two of them weren't even as good as the followers that Kieran brought.
At least two of them weren't bad.
Celder commented when he glanced over Fanner and Torstar beside the wagon.
As for Jyaichi and Ganarde?
A wagoner and a servant weren't worthy of his attention.
Celder kept his gaze away and hastened his steps since he thought he had a 90% chance of success.
He was less than two steps behind Mary.
"Your Highness, thank you for your time …"
"2567, the sunlight here is so dim."
Before Celder could finish his words, Mary interrupted him.
Celder was stunned when he heard Mary's words that came out of nowhere. The other southern nobles were stunned as well.
Then, they saw Kieran raise his left hand as he walked.
Fuuu!
Blazing flames rose and the devil roared.
A ball of Devil Flame flew up to the sky like a comet and crashed into the ominous aura that looked like a dark cloud.
KABOOM!
The fiery waves rumbled fiercely. Wherever the Devil Flame passed through, the ominous aura would be burned into nothingness.
The Rank 3 Devil Flame was able to crush the ominous aura that had just entered the Advanced Rank like crushing dried twigs.
The same went for the people who gathered the ominous aura.
"Aaaargh!!"
A loud agonizing scream came from the camp further away.
Mary, however, turned a deaf ear to the agonizing scream. She raised her hand and held a bright ray of sunlight in her palm, saying in a joyful tone, "So warm!"
"Your Highness, it can be warmer."
Kieran said calmly.
