Sinopse
In the year 556 of the Runtallian Calendar, a war broke out in the eastern frontier of the Kingdom of Runtallia between the eastern overlord, Duke Gaverone Walruse of Regalia, and the barbarian chief-thane known as Dariun Drunzelle of the Shiradonii tribe, one of the Four Great Tribes of Norsmund, a nation that borders the Kingdom, deemed to be the land of brutes and savages. As the Duke of Regalia marches with his army to defend the disputed land of Kurlon, the barbarians have taken such an opportune moment to launch another incursion near the eastern border of Regalia near the town of Flendle, with the intention of dividing his army. However, despite accepting the town and the surrounding local lords' territories as lost cause in the war in favor of Kurlon– a newly discovered territory bountiful with veins of iron and other minerals– the Duke tasks his third son, Lord Velmund Walruse, along with his retinue, the Order of the Raven Knights, to fend off the attack.
Now faced with the plight of defending the border town against a 5,000-strong Norsmundi army with his few yet skilled knights, along with an ill-equipped and undermanned militia, Lord Velmund has no choice but to fulfill his duty as a noble, relying upon his wits and his few but capable retainers to survive his first battle at the tender age of sixteen summers and winters. Contrary to his timid, youthful, and innocent appearance, however, lies his sly and scheming nature, evident by his fondness of dark magical arts specializing in illusion spells. Nevertheless, he himself has no idea of what he is capable of, and what he is destined to become.
Meanwhile, further east at the frontier with Norsmund, a plot hatches to ensnare the Duke within the clutches of his treacherous vassals. Not only his life is threatened by these schemes, but his sons Theo and Varus as well. With this scheme put into motion, the Duke and Velmund's siblings, Varus and Theo, would taste fate's twisted humor, with the former meeting his demise in a blaze of glory amidst the field of battle, and the latter two vanishing in incidents shrouded by mysteries. With the death of the patriarch of Regalia and his heirs' disappearance, the young lord who was initially third in line for the succession of the ducal seat became its temporary occupant. And thus, the tale of him and his court begins…

I came into this book when hunting for books with #Historical tags. When I read the prologue, I wasn't anticipating much, but little did I know it would hook me. I enjoyed the novel's depiction of war preparations, as well as the realistic description of topography and defensive fortifications. I also admire how meticulous you are when it comes to details. I felt sorry for the peasants harmed by the battle, which is fantastic because I enjoy a scenarios that allows me to get part of it. I am just looking forward to seeing the outcome of the impending conflict. [img=proud]
It has potential, I hope the MC has some ambition. [img=update][img=update][img=update][img=update][img=update][img=update][img=update][img=update][img=update]
Author recommended this novel to me irl... time to see this "masterpiece" of his lol
Amazing novel. Intriguing story, wonderful writing quality, colorful battle scenes. None of those BOOM BAM SLASH SHING Abominations in battles. Reminds me of an actual book, which is why I love it. But I have to warn, that if you can not handle discriptive novels (not the one, where everything explained in dialogues, but where narrator is a majority of storytelling), then you might want to skip this. But I still encourage you to try it out, since this novel is wonderful
Amongst the few novels on this platform that is worthy of a hardcopy print. Heck, it felt more like reading a real book than a Webnovel. Definitely recommended.
this book writing style is excellent, but its separate story chapter and information chapter for some reader its unique,as for me its make my brain to read it carefully less then miss the plot i call those information chapter cliffhanger chapter, personally prefer blend those chapter. if author keep changing pov its sure thing story development can be rich, i just hope author makes the story unpredictable, deception to the reader not just in the story. well i take a guess since i just read till chapter 25, that will be more character show up since author keep changing pov am afraid author brain will blow up, this novel isn't suitable to be webnovel if he want to make masterpiece as for world background well i need a map lol
I have never written a review here , something I have to change now because this book is great to great a read. Not the usual bland stile of writing but something else for once and I really enjoyed it. Ununfortunately the upload speed is rather slow but everything else just makes it a good and comfortable read. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. :)
What an awesome read! This story as a great premises and perfect characterization. I enjoy reading it and recommend it to everyone. You're doing great, Author.
Author picking route where War/Battle/Conflict would end up at the powerhouse mercy, i still can't comprehend how army against army where the result is only settled by such powerhouse. Such as duel, battle power etc.. Well the writing quality is so good, the story build is good to but it just I don't like it because it's not some adventure action story but historical Conquer kingdom building.
character development has been rushed a little, but you can fix it in the future, except that the universe and fiction are beautiful (it would be very nice if MC starts to degenerate as he gains power and wealth more soldiers more gold more women and a tyrant who rules the world like a puppeteer in the dark, though perfect finish
This is a really excellent web novel; it excitingly tells its unique story, making the reader want to keep reading; while true, some of the chapters could have been shorter. Yet this feels like a novel where the author takes us on a journey through the world he created while giving us rich background and world-building. The author has a great story, and if he maintains this great story and maybe expands on it more, this could turn out to be a fantastic experience
The author did a very good job in making the story seem interesting and portrayed well. The story is good and intriguing. overall I liked the novel and keep up the good work author
Yahallo, readers! This is the shameless newbie author of this novel rating his own work. I hope you support this endeavor of mine because I really do like writing and reading medieval stuff, and I'm a weeb, so why not add some fantasy too? Anyway, I hope you enjoy my work, and please let me know how can I improve my writing. It will be greatly appreciated by me! P.S: For those readers who first saw the older draft of LRC, please re-download this newer version as I'll be deleting the old one in a day or two. I made a new one because I am participating on thr WSA Contest, so please do support me if you like my work!
