As promised last month, there will be 3 bonus chapters today!

If you could visit Royal Road and leave a rating or review, that would be fantastic!...

Chapter 135 - Blood on the Naga

[They’re here,] said Xaphan. It was much easier for him to use his magic senses outside of his body since regaining a small portion of his power, and he made sure to keep an eye out during the night for the men who intended to harm Leon.

Le...

Chapter 134 - The Galley

Bonus chapter 3 of 3 =)

---

The galley Leon had to take north was slow and cramped. Two hundred fresh soldiers were being taken to Cyrene, a fortress city in the royal demesne situated along the Naga River, and they were packed into th...

Chapter 133 - Departure

Bonus chapter 2 of 3 =)

---

It was a titanic effort to rise out of bed the morning after Leon and Elise’s first night together, and it weren’t for his insistence on not missing a single day of training, Leon wouldn’t have bothered t...

Chapter 132 - Decimius

Bonus chapter 1 of 3 =)

---

While Leon and Elise were confirming their relationship, Tiberias had an important meeting to attend. He was to be the squire for the Legate of the Twelfth Legion, which was stationed in the Western Territor...

Chapter 131 - Intimacy

If you didn't see my post yesterday, I've reached my final funding goal on Patreon! There will be 3 bonus chapters today! Do note that this does not affect the bonus chapters that I promised for Oct. 1st, those are still scheduled ;)

Last Goal Reached! Bonus Chapters Tomorrow!

Well, it happened, my last Patreon goal has been reached! There will be 4 chapters released tomorrow (the regularly scheduled chapter, plus the three bonus chapters)!

I honestly didn't expect this goal would ever be reached when I started po...

Chapter 130 - Lion Armor

If you could head over to Royal Road and leave a rating or review, I would be most appreciative and it would help me out immensely =D

Chapter 129 - Old Acquaintances

Leon nearly stopped walking right in the middle of the marching formation, but fortunately for him, the next rank of second-tier Snow Lions was right behind him, pushing him onward. But, even though he kept moving, his brain felt like it had locke...

Chapter 128 - Post-FTX

The mood in the Snow Lions’ tower was absolutely jubilant. It had been only a day and a half since the FTX came to an end, long enough for the unit to rest and sleep in, then begin to party, for they had come out of the FTX with six banners! Ther...

Chapter 127, FTX XI

I included a short few paragraphs with a couple thoughts on the end of this arc at the end of this chapter. Check it out if you're interested in some behind the scenes stuff =)

After standing at the tree line for about te...

Chapter 126, FTX X

“Coming here alone was quite bold,” Marcus said to Tiberias. The leader of the Black Vipers had shown up at the south-eastern pass without a single other member of his unit and asked to speak with the nine third-tier leaders of the allied units....

Chapter 125 - FTX IX

Several arrows whizzed past Leon’s head as he ducked down behind the watchtower’s waist-high wooden wall. He didn’t stop to think about what was happening or who was responsible, he slammed his hand into the runic circle on the pinned sheet of ...

Chapter 124 - FTX VIII

“They’re going to attack tonight,” Castor stated.

“You say that as if it were ever a question,” Leon responded with a smile. “That attack last night was only a probe. They wanted to see how we would react. No doubt that they’ll use wh...

Chapter 123 - FTX VII

With their supplies incinerated, the allied units had a lot of trouble staying in their position. Those supplies had been meant to last them for several weeks, but with them gone they’d either have to send runners back to their old camps and ferr...

Chapter 122 - FTX VI

The Snow Lions’ camp had been built into the face of the cliff. The primary defensive feature that the leaders of the three units could see were two layers of concentric palisades, each with four watchtowers. Looking farther up the cliff face, th...

Chapter 121 - FTX V

Maybe when you're done with this chapter, you could head on over to Royal Road and leave a rating or review? It would be very much appreciated =)

...

Chapter 120 - FTX IV

The Crimson Tigresses didn’t waste any time on the morning of the third day. The entire unit woke up before the sun rose and left their camp just as dawn broke.

But that speed didn’t mean that their departure went unnoticed; Valeria distin...

Chapter 119 - FTX III

“Well that was surprisingly easy,” said Charles as he sat down in a stone chair. After the Snow Lions ambushed the Steel Century, they immediately returned back to their cave—though a few detours had been made just in case someone managed to tr...

Chapter 118 - FTX II

“Get that watchtower raised! We need to get this camp secured by the end of the day!” shouted Elianus, the third-tier noble in charge of the Obsidian Cataphracts.

He’d chosen to have his unit set up camp on one side of a deep river that f...

Chapter 117 - FTX I

It had been a long ten months, but it was finally time for the trainees to undergo the Field Training Exercise, their two-month-long struggle to see which unit could amass the most banners.

None of the units that had already seized a banner ...

Chapter 116 - FTX Prep

“Are you fucking kidding?! You want us to give up our week off?!” shouted an enraged Snow Lion at the three third-tier trainees.

“Yes, and there’s no need for profanity,” replied a serious and straight-faced Castor, causing more than ha...

Chapter 115 - Final Classes

The last few classes the Knight Academy taught its trainees during their training cycle were a random mash-up of various other aspects of a knight’s job that the trainees would have to know. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time to go into det...

Chapter 114 - Monster Classes

Patron rewards will be increasing on September 1st! Full explanatory post here!

Here's what the new reward tiers will look like:

$1 tier - 1 chapter ahead (...

More Patron Reward increases coming on Sep 1st!

So, just like the beginning of this month, I'll be changing the Patron Rewards a little, so that they're a little more, you know, rewarding. Basically, most of you will be seeing some bonus chapters a week from Saturday :)

Chapter 113 - Demon Fire

Leon had ten healing spells in his first-aid kit, all of which he had to use to regain the use of his left arm. Even then, his arm was still covered in light burns, but he could move it without pain if he was careful.

[Well, that was certain...

Chapter 112 - Severe Burns

It took less than fifteen minutes for the potion to wear off. Every last speck of magic power had flowed into Leon’s soul realm, where it was drawn to the fire demon waiting for it. Where before Xaphan was like a bonfire, with the power of the Ka...

Chapter 111 - Burning Pain

“You’d best surrender now, you won’t get another chance,” Antonius loudly said to Themistocles.

“Fuck surrender and fuck you!” Themistocles shouted back. “You humiliated me last time we fought, and now I’m going to do the same to you...

Chapter 110 - The Arena

A month passed after the exhibition put on for the Legate. It was hardly eventful, with all the other units falling back into the old routine. The other units continued their battles, but the Snow Lions remained in their tower not bothering anyone...

Chapter 109 - Lions and Tigresses

All ten units couldn’t face off against each other at once as everyone watching wouldn’t be able to focus on one single battle for very long. Thus, they would battle each other one pair of units at a time.

The Tribune who had decided who w...
