After killing the orc king, Galanar fell to his knee due to exhaustion and excessive blood loss.
"Sir Galanar." Alaric's voice drifted into his ears and he felt a pair of hands holding onto him, preventing him from falling over.
"My lord, I have done my job." The Transcendent uttered with deep breaths.
Hearing this, Alaric smiled faintly and nodded. "Yes, Sir Galanar. You have exceeded my expectations. Please don't say anything more and take this chance to rest. We will handle everything here."
Galanar acknowledged his command with a nod of his head. He then handed him the Dark Diamond Shield and the Rare Steel Sword. "Thank you for lending your shield and sword, my lord."

Alaric brought him to a safe corner before he returned to the battle.
With the support of William and Warrick, the orc lords were quickly taken down.
At this mont, only three orc lords were left and they were covered in wounds and bruises.
They were surrounded by a group of Elite Knights who were staring at them with cold gazes.
At this mont, Alaric appeared next to the Elite Knights. "I'll handle one of them. You guys take care of the other two."
"Yes, my lord!" The Elite Knights responded.
In the next mont, Alaric chose his target. It was an orc lord holding a pair of axes. With a quick pounce, he brandished his sword, bringing forth a destructive sword wave that tore through the air.
Whoosh!
The orc lord was already spent and it was close to depleting its mana. In the face of this attack, all it could do was take the full brunt of the damage.
It used what remained of its mana to shield its body.
Bang!
The sword wave struck the beast and cut open its flesh!
Tsk!
Alaric clicked his tongue. The power he had released wasn't even half of what Galanar had unleashed to kill the orc king. This left him dissatisfied and also marveled at the huge difference in strength between a Transcendent Knight and an Elite Knight.
The orc lord that had been struck by the sword wave slamd into the wall. The gaping wound in its chest bled profusely, making it weaker.
Seeing that it was still alive, Alaric lunged at the monster and stabbed its head with his sword.
Kkhhsshhkk!!
The light in its eyes vanished and it soon collapsed to the ground.
Thud.
Alaric no longer spared it a glance. He turned his head to check the situation.
There were only two orc lords left and they were being ganged up on by a group of Elite Knights.
A few minutes later, the two monsters finally fell.
Now that all the powerful monsters had been killed, the morale of the troops rose exponentially.
The main force led the troops in decimating the remaining orc generals and orc warriors.
This ti, it had beco a one-sided massacre.
The human warriors were like a pack of wolves hunting their prey.
After another hour of intense battle, the last orc warrior died.
"We won!!!"
"I'm alive!!"
"It's finally over!"
Everyone cheered as they collapsed in exhaustion. It was a tough battle and not one warrior was uninjured.
anwhile, Alaric also received a notification from the system.

Alaric raised an eyebrow after receiving the notification.

A notification written in white characters appeared in front of him when he subconsciously moved his gaze to the approaching Argus.
Huh? What's this?
He curiously clicked [Yes].

Alaric was stunned when he saw the rows of texts that appeared in front of him.
It actually showed Argus's attributes!
Appraisal… What an apt na!
Alaric was excited at the new trait he had acquired. It could actually show the nurical representation of soone's attributes!
While he was imrsed in his thoughts, Argus stopped in front of him and smiled.
"My lord, congratulations on the victory!"
The old man's words pulled him from his thoughts.
Alaric stared at the old Knight. He was also injured, but he only had light injuries.
With a shake of his head, he replied. "I don't deserve your words, my lord. It is only because of everyone's efforts that we managed to erge victorious."
The old baron smiled at his words. "That's true, but you were the one who gathered us here."
Argus stared at the young man with admiration.
To achieve this kind of success at his age, even his father wasn't this good.
"By the way, how are Sir Henry and the others doing?" Alaric asked, his face turning serious.
Sensing the sternness in his voice, Argus imdiately responded. "Lord Dylann has awakened and his condition is already stable. As for Sir Henry and Lord Smith…they are still receiving treatnt."
Hearing this, Alaric frowned.
Looking at his gloomy face, Argus reassured him. "Don't worry, my lord. They are both Elite Knights. I'm sure they can recover from this."
Alaric nodded in agreent.
Elite Knights had higher vitality and endurance so they could recover faster as long as their injuries weren't fatal.
"What about the casualties?" He asked in a low voice.
The battle was more intense than he had anticipated because of the unforeseen circumstances.
Argus took a deep breath before he answered. "We still haven't gotten a detailed report, but based on what I have seen, I think we lost almost four hundred warriors."
Alaric sighed upon hearing this. "Tell our soldiers to gather the corpses of our comrades. We will bring them to North Pine Town and bury them in Mount Tegere."
