A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

The intense battle seemed to have come to a standstill. The zone tens of meters in front of the city wall had become a vacuum because of the sudden lightning strike. Everyone looked up at the suave man on the griffin’s back in shock.

The Tian Du sword, purple-striped griffin, and familiar silver armor all indicated who this man was.

Alex, the god-like man to all soldiers of the Roth Empire’s northwestern army.

No one would have thought that he would appear here, and that he would attack the Roth Empire’s cavalry.

The Tian Du sword, which descended from the sky, caused a horrifying lightning strike that reduced hundreds of cavalrymen to ashes immediately, including the captain of the vanguard.

The horses were all crouching on the ground, shivering from fear caused by the purple-striped griffin’s strong presence.

A man and a sword made thousands of cavalrymen lose their ability to fight instantly.

The Roth Empire’s cavalrymen were all gripped with fear. Alex’s horrifying powers were once the pride of the northwestern army. However, when they were on his opposing end, they realized how terrifying it could be.

When the orcs from the Uto Tribe saw Alex, who appeared suddenly, they were equally shocked and confused.

Alex’s reputation was even bigger than that of the Roth Empire’s king among the orcs. This man represented a battle without loss. He once thrashed the orcs who closed in on the Roth Empire’s borders, and had never been defeated before.

And right now, this man appeared once again. Only, the first strike of his sword was made against the Roth Empire’s cavalry?

Haga kept his machete, and moved back slowly. He gathered all the orcs at the city wall, and watched Alex cautiously. He was also confused as to why Alex would appear here and attack the humans.

At the valley down the hill, the knights were flustered from the sudden turn of events. The exclamations from up the mountain were enough to indicate the person’s identity. It was everyone’s god of victory.

“What’s Alex doing here?” Charlie was also confused and shocked. As an experienced general who had been at the northwestern border for three decades, one could say that he watched Alex’s growth from a little soldier, up against all odds, to the god of victory with countless merits and the best knight on the Norland Continent.

He did hear about whatever happened after that. Alex met with an assassination in Rodu, and went missing thereafter. There were rumors that he was already dead, and there were also rumors saying that he had disappeared.

The northwestern military were enraged, and there was almost a revolt, which was later contained. All who were close to Alex were thoroughly uprooted.

As Sean’s confidante, Charlie had gained a lot of help with his promotion to get to his current position, which allowed him to hold actual power.

Just when everyone was about to forget Alex, the latter made a sudden appearance.

He was still that knight with no defeats, but he did not belong to the Roth Empire or the northwestern army now.

He slaughtered several powerhouses successively on his road to revenge, and even attacked the two princes. It seemed that assassination back then was not as simple as what rumors made it out to be.

Today was the first day of the peace meeting. He should be at the meeting in Chaos City. Why did he appear here all of a sudden? On top of that, he even attacked the Roth Empire’s cavalry.

The thought of this person that he only had to look up to from behind suddenly becoming his opponent made Charlie’s eyelids twitch furiously. He was unable to feel at ease even if he had 30,000 cavalrymen under him.

The flame of fury was burning in Mag’s eyes. On his way here, he saw the massacred orc tribes, and none was spared, not even the children.

It was difficult to imagine that such a horrible scene that looked just like what the devil would have done actually had been perpetrated by the Roth Empire’s cavalry.

Mag thought that the Roth Empire wanted land at first. Now, it seemed that they were not satisfied with just that.

He looked down, and saw the little tribe in a horrendous state. He found Haga, covered in blood, among the crowd. While he was a little shocked, that sight also appeased him a little. He did not expect the first tribe that he would reach was Haga and Habeng’s tribe. Although the tribe had suffered significant damage, at least he prevented the tribe from being exterminated.

“I am Alex. Roth Empire’s cavalry, retreat from this tribe immediately,” Mag Alex said.

The knights exchanged glances. They had yet to recover from the confusion of Alex’s sudden arrival, and now they were to retreat from a tribe that they had finally managed to overwhelm?

However, Alex was stronger than an entire tribe. On top of that, he was still well-respected in the northwestern army. Some of the knights even started to retreat from the Uto Tribe, and even moved behind the Tian Du sword.

Mag glanced at these cavalrymen. As knights, obeying orders was their duty. They were definitely not the ones who could influence the decision to attack and wipe out cities.

His gaze landed at the valley, and saw a general in black armor surrounded by men. He squinted. That’s a familiar face.

Charlie. Sean’s sly aide. He could also be considered one of the more experienced generals in the northwestern army. However, Alex did not expect that Sean would lead the entire army on his own.

“Down,” Mag commanded.

The purple-striped griffin dove towards the valley.

Immediately, the knights in the valley started to move. The cavalry and magic casters all surrounded Charlie with their weapons out, watching the diving griffin nervously.

“Do not act rashly,” Charlie commanded. He watched the griffin dive towards him, and swallowed his saliva, doing his best to maintain his composure.

If Alex wanted to kill, they would not be able to stop him.

The first prince still had his arm chopped off despite six 10th-tier powerhouses protecting him. This group of 8th and 9th-tier knights and magic casters were just a joke to Alex no matter what they did.

The purple-striped griffin paused in midair in front of Charlie. Mag looked down at Charlie, and said coldly, “Who ordered to have the orc tribes wiped out?”

“It’s a military order,” Charlie replied.

“Whose military order?”

“It’s a military secret, I cannot tell you,” Charlie told Alex.

Mag squinted. The air around him turned a little colder. “I want all of you out of the Twilight Forest right now.”

“I have a military order to obey.” Charlie shook his head, and gripped the longsword at his waist.

“If you don’t retreat, you’ll die!” Mag’s voice echoed throughout the valley.

The Tian Du sword which was embedded into the ground on the mountain appeared by Mag’s side in a blink of an eye.

Charlie pulled out the longsword at his waist as he said coldly, “Alex, I know you are very powerful, but you should also clearly know that the army’s will would not change because of any threat!”

He was betting that Alex would not dare to kill him, just like how he only chopped off the first prince’s arm after breaking through the defense of six 10th-tier powerhouses. Killing the general would be akin to waging a war with the Roth Empire.

After those words echoed, the Tian Du sword struck.

Charlie was nailed to the ground together with his horse.

Mag looked at the adjutant beside Charlie, and said coldly, “According to the Roth Empire’s military regulations, you are now in charge of the troops.. Bring everyone out of the Twilight Forest.”
