Chapter XXIV

――――Imperial Capital of the Sky Splitting Empire・Maczit City・Fairy Hotel――――

It's been about three days since the events in the Forest of Warcraft, and now everyone knows that the Brave Men were attacked in the forest and defeated the Adriatic raiders, and this news has made the church even more famous, as for the evidence? The forest that was completely annihilated is the proof!

And when Clyde specifically instructed Zeyu Liandai not to reveal his own storage, no one would know about Clyde's existence, and no one would know that the annihilated forest was Clyde's 'masterpiece'.

Of course, the five-person team also followed Clyde's 'instructions' and used the 'bystander' privilege given to them by the main god space to hide in the corners of the city, as long as they did not come into contact with the aborigines of this world, they would not be noticed, presumably they were still worried about their unconscious captain~

"Lord Clyde, Lord Clyde, the nations have begun to prepare armies, and the Church has begun to gather paladins and sages to prepare for war against the Adriatics!" said to Clyde, who had returned from gathering information.

"Therefore, the first place of war is the Duchy of Curea, and Alista, as a border city, will definitely be reduced to ・・・・・・・・・" Clyde's eyes were a little dim, and he also knew the cruelty of the war, according to Lulutia's investigation of the Adritic Sect, it was not uncommon for a strong man to kill Curia in seconds!

The beauty in those novels and stories is impossible, the army of demons can easily tear apart the walls of Alista, and the irregular army of the principality, which is not even 50,000, can not resist that kind of non-human army, if he does not rush to Alista to help defend now, Alista will be razed to the ground is already a sure thing.

Curia and Culis have a good relationship with Clyde, especially Coolis, who makes Clyde feel what true friendship is, and in that world Clyde also has bonds and friends, but they died long before the world was destroyed, and this is why Clyde became a wanderer.

He really didn't want this little friendship to be annihilated under the army of demons, Clyde would go, and the two sisters were left in the imperial capital by Clyde to wait for news, if he could, he would rather pretend to be killed and leave this world, so that the two sisters should not be too attached to themselves, 'the king dies and I live alone' (lifespan) or something is too heavy・・・・・・・・・・・

"Zelexia, Aresya, I need to go back to Alista next, you don't have to come with me, the battle is very favorable to the human side. Clyde said, hoping that this was not a lie and would deceive the two sisters.

"Of course, Lord Clyde (my lord) will definitely return in triumph!" To Clyde's surprise, the two sisters did not hesitate to imagine Clyde's words, and there was not a trace of suspicion in their eyes, which made Clyde suddenly feel guilty in his heart, 'Is it really good to lie to them?'.

"・・・・・・・・・・・・" Clyde didn't speak, and the two sisters responded, he didn't want to say anything more, he was afraid that if he said more・・・・・・・・ he would expose the 'truth' in his heart.

"You're still too 'immature,' Clyde. Lulutia's voice rang in Clyde's head, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Yes~ Now in Lulutia's eyes, he is not like those brave people who have not yet realized that they are 'saviors', if he really does not cut off the feelings of the two sisters for himself, after I don't know how many years, he will be even more painful in the face of the gradually cold corpses of the two sisters, no life will be immortal, even Clyde does not dare to guarantee that he will live forever.

But it wasn't just Clyde who suffered after the cutoff, but also the two sisters, and Clyde couldn't imagine what would happen then・・・・・・・・・・

"Let's let this confusion last a little longer~ I don't want to make a decision so quickly!" Clyde thought as he slowly walked out of the door of the Elf Inn.

However, to Clyde's surprise, after he left, the two sisters settled the bill with the elf girl, and then packed up their baggage and left the imperial capital from another way, secretly following Clyde.

――――Border of the Principality of Kurea・Outside the city of Alista――――

Hundreds of thousands of demon armies have already built a simple walled city on the vast plain, and from a distance, you can only see a piece of black oppression, all of which are the camps of the demon army, and there are dozens of demon scouts patrolling nearby, and there are even unknown how many demon assassins are ambushed in the dark, and the heavily defended Cheng dù is estimated to make all the stalkers (the subclass of assassins) desperate!

"General Belof, the offensive against the human territory is ready! Although there is no naval advantage, as long as we occupy the Duchy of Kurea, then the destruction of the territory and the church is just around the corner!" In the hall of the walled city, a demon mage was speaking to a middle-aged demon man in dark and hideous armor.

Demons are actually no different from humans, but compared to humans, they always have some evil aura floating on their bodies, and their eyes glowing with evil blood, as if they have drunk the blood of the Abyss Lord!

"It's okay to be ready, as long as that lord comes, it will be the day when our demon race will dominate the world!" said the demon general named Beloff, picked up the helmet on the table next to him, put it on, and said to the demon mage behind him, "We will start attacking the human territory tonight, and strive to capture a city before the arrival of the army assembled by the human race!"

"Yes!"

"Oh, by the way, take that holy woman with you, and when the time comes, kill the holy woman of the church in front of that group of humans, what will be their expressions?" Beloff grinned, his words making the demon mage smile evilly.

"That must be fun・・・・・・・・・・"

Walking out of the camp tent, countless blood-red eyes suddenly lit up in the originally dark camp, and at the same time, accompanied by the sound of 'sonorous' leg armor touching the ground, countless demon soldiers dressed almost the same as Beloff walked out of the camp tent, and they did not hold torches at night, as if they were irrational war planes, they marched towards Alista City with neat steps!

The armor of the demon race is like the product of some kind of black rough processing, but after a detailed investigation by Lurutia, this rough stone is actually a magic stone soaked in the blood of some evil being, and ordinary weapons can't leave a trace on the armor at all!

At the same time, the horses of the demon knights are also mutated creatures that drink some kind of blood like themselves, and they look like the legendary dream demons, with the same standard armor as the demon soldiers, and the strong hooves of the horses can even make the demon knights cross the huge abyss and turn into a meat grinder on the battlefield!

Poor Arista didn't have many Duchy soldiers to defend in the first place, and after the Church announced a war against the Adriatics, only about 5,000 soldiers and a new city lord were added, and there were no other protective measures!

――――On the walls of the city of Alista――

"That's ・・・・・・・・・・" The veteran, who had been patrolling the city walls as usual, seemed to see something, and looked at the vast grassland beyond the city in disbelief.

"Gandis, what's wrong?" ・・・・・・・・・ look like an undead on his face," a young soldier teased at the veteran next to him, but the next moment he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Go ring the alarm!!! the old soldier named Ganders shouted as he pushed the young soldier away.

"Yes!!"

What did they see? In the pitch-black steppe grassland where there was no moonlight, nothing should be seen, but Ganders found a strange phenomenon - countless pairs of bright red points of light appeared on the originally empty grassland, accompanied by the footsteps of thousands of advancing armies, if he couldn't even guess that it was the enemy attacking, then he, a veteran, really had to pull back and retrain!

In a few moments, the sound of alarm bells spread throughout the city, but it was already too late, the demon soldiers had already begun to use their sharp claws to insert into the walls made of rock, climbing the walls at great speed, while the demon knights waited outside the city for the city gates to open!

"Die!" "The veteran Ganders had never seen such a strange enemy, but since he was an enemy, of course he swung his sword and went forward to fight!

Clang!

Click!

Unexpectedly, Gandes's soldier sword did not leave a trace on the armor of the demon soldiers, but his sword broke into two sections due to recoil, his hands continued to tremble, and bright red blood continued to flow from the tiger's mouth in the palm.

"Bastard !!"

In the unwilling roar of Gandes, this veteran who had fought for the Duchy of Kurea for many years died under the sword of the demon soldier.

At the same time, other demon soldiers who successfully invaded the city also killed the guards at an extremely fast speed, and opened the city gates, causing the demon army outside the city to rush in and start massacring civilians and soldiers, and the originally peaceful and peaceful Alista turned into a hell covered in blood!

"Hurry up and evacuate the city lord first, the city can't hold it anymore!" The heavily armed Kulis looked at this hell-like scene, his right hand holding the sword kept trembling, but he couldn't go up to die, at least ・・・・・・・・・ let Kuria and the old man leave first!

"Hurry up!" Curia and Clinos, with a handful of soldiers and civilians, hurriedly escorted the new city lord to prepare for another city gate and leave.

"None of you can leave!" Beloff rushed in front of Kulis with three demon knights, shouting and wielding the great sword in his hand.

Boom!

Smack!

The shield in Kulis's hand was shattered in an instant, and at the same time, the left hand holding the shield was also cut off and fell to the ground like the shield, but Kulis didn't even have a chance to let out a painful moan, and the next moment Beloff's magic sword came to Kulis, and the pitch-black magic sword reflected the fire in the distance, as if this was the last scene that Kulis saw before he died!

"Haa!!!!!!!a

Of course, that's only temporary!

"Kulis, are you alright?!" asked Kuria, who was the eldest brother, with an anxious expression.

"It's all right, but ・・・・・・・・・・," Culis replied, distancing himself from Beloff, and then looking bitterly at his severed left hand, which was almost half gone.

Ah~ Is it my death the next moment? It's really unpleasant! And Clyde, I guess I can't drink with you anymore, and I guess it's impossible to get you drunk under the table・・・・・・・・・・・
