Chapter 8 The Beginning of Purgatory
"Damn!What's that!?"
"Something from the north!"
"It's the demons!!The army of the demons is coming!!"
Under the black dark clouds, there is a large army of black pressing, unlike the previous enemy, this time the army is almost all composed of demons, except for the demonic beasts boasted by some cavalry, there is almost no trace of demonic beasts.
"General Hetila! The demon army has attacked from the north!"
"Hurry up and get our troops back! She shouted loudly, and the Artinians immediately fired magic projectiles into the air to represent retreat. The dragon knights immediately broke away from the battle line and retreated to the west.
"Bishop Siso, the dragon knights of Altinia are starting to retreat, what should we do?"
"Needless to say, let's retreat as soon as possible! Now is not the time for infighting, call all the Templars back at once!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that the dragon knights began to retreat, the Templars attacking on the ground also began to retreat to the camp to the east. Seeing that the largest battle groups in both directions began to retreat, the other coalition forces also retreated.
"Night Stalker! ready to attack!" At this moment, the flagship Night Stalker, which had been waiting in the fortress, began to slowly rise into the air.
"All the warships obeyed the order, immediately stopped fighting, aimed all their firepower at the demons in the north, and retreated from the air to the south while shooting!!" Elche ordered to the entire fleet, since the fortress itself was located between the north and south valleys, and the south side should have been a huge mountain area that could not be marched, relying on the fleet's air movement ability, it was possible to withdraw all the troops to the south through the battleships.
Because they were afraid of the attack of the demons, the coalition forces did not dare to outflank them from both sides, making the original encirclement exist in name only.
"It works!Use the demon attack to break through the encirclement of the coalition!So that we can temporarily retreat to the south!" Elche shouted excitedly as the fleet left the fortress without incident.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Jeton frowned, not showing the slightest sign of joy.
"Are you talking about Natalie-sama's prophecy?"
"That's right, she accurately said the timing of the appearance of the demons, and also warned us that there will be huge casualties on the human side of this battle, so let's evacuate without hesitation. β
"That being said, but we have done as she was told, and the whole fleet has retreated as fast as it can. β
"But ... Jayton was about to voice his concerns when the spotter on the bridge suddenly exclaimed.
"Report! A man in white appeared at the front of the demon army, and through the magic measurement, he has been determined to be the Demon King of the West. β
"What?!The Demon King of the West!!"
At the front of the demon army, the white-clothed demon king Faldi stared at the human troops in front of him.
"Humans, it's time for you to see the real purgatory. His voice was deep and powerful, and every word he said could be heard clearly from any corner of the battlefield.
"Damn!I didn't expect the Demon King to appear at the front line!Everyone began to retreat!!" Bishop Hiso, who had already learned the strength of the Demon King, shouted at the people around him in horror, and the entire Templar army began to flee north.
"Blood Domainβ" Faldi slowly spread his arms, and a radius of several kilometers was instantly enveloped in a huge red magic power, like flowing blood, casting an enchantment and trapping everyone inside.
"What!?such a wide range of magic!! is this the power of the Demon King!!" I didn't expect the opponent's enchantment to be able to envelop such a large area in an instant, and those soldiers who were about to retreat couldn't help but stay there!
"Let's go! slaughter to your heart's content!" Fardi grinned sinisterly, and the huge demon army charged at the human army.
"Since there is no way to escape!, then fight bravely!" Hetila drew her sword from her waist, "For the glory of Artinia!!, all the dragon knights will follow me!!" I saw that she controlled the flying dragon and rushed out first, aiming directly at the demon king Faldi, who was suspended in the air. At the same time, the dragon knights of Altinia rushed forward with him.
"It's nice to be so weak, but to have the guts!" said Faldi, smiling as she looked at Hetila as she rushed over, only to see her spear made of Mithril stabbed at her, striking Faldi in the chest impartially.
"What!!" Hetila, who had used almost all of his strength to deliver the blow, was horrified to find that the silver spear had not only failed to penetrate his body, but had broken and twisted.
"Is that all there is to it?" he squeezed her gun with one hand, and the hot magic melted it in an instant.
She quickly let go of the handle of her gun and slashed at the other man's neck with her other sword-wielding hand.
"Bang-" The Mithril sword slashed at hard stone, and Faldi was almost unscathed.
"Can this boring attack stop?" He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Hetila's throat, and the wyvern at her feet tried to protect her master and pounced on the Demon King, but was instantly disintegrated by the invisible force, and the blood-spraying limbs scattered from the air.
"Bastard!!" Hetila could barely breathe, and with what strength she had, she kicked Fardi in the abdomen.
"Filthy ants. Faldi cursed in disgust as he watched her white shirt get the mark of dust from her boots, and then struck Hetila's neck off, and her head fell from the air to the ground......
