King's Raid: Successors of the Will (キングスレイド 意志を継ぐものたち)

One hundred years have passed since the Battle of Galluah Plains,

where King Kyle defeated the Dark Lord Angmund.

The Demons rise again, threatening the world

and spreading fear and unrest to all.

Kasel and his friends continue their travels to unseal the Holy Sword Aea.

Two more locks remain on the seal.

They have arrived at Mount Ogria to meet the Orc chief Aeatola,

who is said to hold one of the keys.

That must be the Red Valley.

"Orcish Pride"

What's so funny?

Can't you hear it? The rage, sorrow, the wailing of the humans?

Nope.

I've waited a hundred years for this next banquet.

Exciting, is it not?

The Dark Lord Angmund is the one in charge of destroying the world.

You're just the sorcerer that brings him back.

My only desire is to watch the poor silly humans' dance of death.

Just like before!

Father, the weather is beautiful.

And the air is very comforting.

He seems to be asleep most of the time.

I believe the king himself asked the doctors

to give him stronger medication for the pain.

I see...

There is nothing to be worried about. The king has our full support.

As sorcerer for the Republic of Grey, I delved into my research.

I will be going to war soon.

But...

I promise I will return.

So please, wait for me.

I sometimes think of what life would be like if I was not born as a royal.

About my father...

And about you, Theo.

Jane...

Malduk!

A lowly knight, seducing the princess...

I intend to give up my life for this nation.

Weak excuse. War is about to start at any moment now.

You scoundrel!

You also seem to exert too much influence in domestic affairs.

Princess Jane, you must be wiser.

Father!

To pass away at such a critical time...

If our enemies find out, we're done for!

We don't even have a proper heir determined.

What's going to happen to the Republic of Grey?!

Bring father back with magic?!

Yes. After much research, we have finally successfully created the forbidden magic.

Now is the time for me to show my true power as a sorcerer.

My magic was a success.

The king returned as an undead.

What is this?

I'm sending you into exile!

Why must I leave?

After all the hard work I did to save this nation,

after all the research I did to finally create such wonderful magic!

Lies! All you wanted was a subject to experiment on!

I have brought the king back to life.

Bringing the dead back to life...

A noble accomplishment of epic proportions.

You should celebrate with me. Nobody has ever successfully done this before.

My name shall be known across this entire nation... No, the world!

You defiled the king's death. You've fallen lower than I thought possible, you devil!

I gave life to a corpse. I am not a devil.

I am... God.

You will never be allowed to set foot in these lands again!

Rather than praise my magic, they instead insulted me and threw me into exile.

Fools...

One day, they will see Hell.

The castles, the towns, the citizens, this entire nation will pay...

...through horrifying death!

Maria! Let us enjoy this banquet, 100 years in the making!

I will help you bring the Dark Lord back.

Eek, how scary.

Rumor says this red color is from all the blood that got spilled in war.

Who in their right minds would live in such a place? Orcs have bad taste.

Sounds like a tall tale, but it fits the aggressive and war-loving Orcs.

I can't believe anyone can love war.

There really are weird people like that out there.

Speaking of which...

Let's go.

Master Kaulah!

Thank you, Dale.

Master Kaulah, why did you come here alone?

You nuisances!

Whoa, trouble!

Orcs fighting each other!

No.

Look carefully. They're undead.

The Orcs have undead, too?!

Master Kaulah!

Humans?!

Step aside unless you want to get burned!

Scorched black, coming right up!

Thank you, you saved us.

--Um... --Don't move!

Stop that, Dale.

We cannot allow humans to enter Orc lands any more.

That is what the chief ordered.

Don't worry. I've been waiting for him.

I knew three days ago that he was coming.

I see.

Please excuse my apprentice and his short temper.

First, I'd like to spend some time speaking with you.

But before that, please give us a moment.

I must ask the ancestral spirits for their forgiveness for soiling this land.

Oh, great ancestral spirits of the Orcs...

May you rest in eternal silence and peace...

Let's start over.

I am Kaulah, Orc shaman.

This is Dale.

My name is Kasel.

Brave champion, I have been waiting for you.

Huh?

I occasionally receive messages from the great ancestral spirits as dreams.

A prophetic dream, if you will.

I've heard about that.

Orc shamans can lead their tribe to a better future through dreams.

And Kasel was in one of your dreams?

Yes. A human hero will appear in a chaotic future,

and bring hope to us all.

Who are you? Where did you come from?!

Hey, stop glaring at us like that.

I'm sorry.

Dale, as a shaman, you must learn to keep a calm mind and heart.

Yes...

Yep. Chill.

We are here to meet Aeatola, the Orc Chief.

I need to unseal the Holy Sword.

Then are you the heir to the Holy Sword...?

Hah! Lies!

You're trying to exploit Chief Aeatola's death to deceive us!

Chief Aeatola passed away?!

Yes. The current chief is Chief Sieg.

But...

We came all the way out here!

For matters regarding the Holy Sword,

Chief Sieg may have received instructions from Chief Aeatola.

Then please, let me meet Chief Sieg!

Impossible! Humans are working with the Demons,

and therefore must never be allowed to enter our lands.

Those are Chief Sieg's orders, and the chief's orders cannot be questioned!

Working with the Demons?
