Chapter Eighty-Nine: Strife
With all the remaining mothers reduced to pieces by Monasse's spells, the Necrons disappeared from the underworld entirely. At the same time, it also means that in Ostia, with the exception of the only mother controlled by Acteri, the Necrons are officially extinct.
"The victor is us!" Monasse casually brought back a fragment of the mother's body, walked up to the soldier, held it high, and shouted loudly.
With Monasse's rousing roar, the Nether soldiers raised their arms and shouted in celebration of the victory.
But the celebration didn't last long, and it calmed down, because Monasse knew that something more important awaited him, and that was the battle with the nobles.
The corpses of more than a thousand soldiers who had fallen in the battle were wiped out with Theola's action, and the soldiers had no way to bring back the bodies of their comrades. You can only dig up a little dirt on the frozen ground and put it in a box, which means that you have brought back the corpse of your companion.
As Monasse's request for help from Artevans was not publicized, the soldiers were also puzzled by Sheola's identity. However, with the consent of Monasse and Sheola himself, Daisey informed the soldiers of everything, and did not care that the remaining soldiers were still under the army of Sully.
Monasse immediately chose to set off immediately and return to the Netherworld Main City, wanting to end this noble dispute as soon as possible, and it didn't matter whether the true identities of Sheola and Artevans were exposed in front of the soldiers.
An army of 2,000 people, only 900 remained, and under the leadership of Monasse, they quickly advanced in the direction of the Netherworld Main City.
By this time, it was already dark.
————————————
Just as Monasse was returning to the city, it was also when Flammy began his invasion of the Netherworld.
The advance troops led by Flami and Guro have already disposed of the royal defenders guarding the city gates, and have successfully infiltrated the interior of the main city.
"Good!" Flammy was about to storm the walls and execute the soldiers on them.
"Wouldn't it be better to destroy a few houses in the city and attract their attention than to alarm the defending soldiers in this way?" Just as Flami was about to act, a voice came and startled him.
Looking around nervously, Flammy didn't notice the source of the sound, and eventually, he realized that it was ringing directly in his head.
"Use the civilians to attract the attention of the soldiers defending the city, and your plan will go more smoothly." This inexplicable voice seemed to be full of temptation for Flammy, and Flami didn't even have any doubts.
(A good idea, indeed.) )
Although Flami didn't know who the voice was coming from, he felt that what the other party said made sense, so he ordered several soldiers next to him to start moving.
An explosion sounded, and several houses in the city were suddenly destroyed, and the civilians living in them fell asleep forever before they even had time to wake up from their sleep.
"Captain, Lord Flammy seems to be on attack!" A soldier noticed the destruction of the house and immediately reported the situation to York, who was the captain of the city.
"Oops! Keep your guard on the rest, and the rest come with me!' York looked at the house that was already on fire, frowned, and rushed down the city wall with a few people.
"Lord Selban, Lord Flammy seems to have forcibly attacked, what should I do?" While rushing to the scene of the incident, York picked up the sound transmitter in his hand at the same time and reported the situation to Selban.
"Don't be impulsive, stick to the walls, the old decay will come now." Serban responded immediately.
"Hold on?" York stopped, stopped the soldier behind him, and asked suspiciously.
"Lord Flammy wants to lure you over, and you will be swept away, and you will hold on to the walls, and the decay will soon come. Don't go to the destroyed house.'"
"Understood." Hearing this, York told the soldiers to go back, and he was left alone to keep watch out for the enemy who might appear at any moment.
On the other side, Flammy ordered his men to destroy several houses.
"Lord Flammy, the civilians of the main city may be awakened." A soldier noticed the lights that were gradually coming on.
Nethers usually have a habit of resting when it gets dark, and although it hasn't been long since it gets dark, almost every house in the main city is already pitch black, except for the hedron used for lighting on the streets. But as a result of Flammy's sudden attack, some civilians were awakened by the sound of explosions.
"Hmph, don't do anything, send a signal, and let all the soldiers outside the city attack!" Flami knew that after destroying a few houses, his actions would no longer be hidden. He could only let all the soldiers attack directly head-on, controlling the entire Netherworld Main City as quickly as possible.
A moment later, a green glow shot into the sky, almost illuminating the sky above the main city. Flammy's army outside the city noticed the signal and immediately launched a charge on the main city.
"Captain, Lord Flammy's army is in full assault!" The soldiers stationed on the walls noticed the dark shadows moving outside the city, and turned back and shouted to York.
"I choose to believe the words of Lord Selban, hold on to this place, Lord Selban-sama will be here soon!" York's face was shocked, and he could only return to the city wall and activate the defense mechanism of the city wall.
The sound of gears turning, and a number of openings suddenly opened in the city wall, each of which contained a ballista powered by magic.
The besieging Vrami army noticed the ballistas and raised their shields.
In an instant, the ballistas opened fire at the same time, and the rain of arrows fell violently, launching a fierce offensive towards Flammy's army.
The soldiers slowly advanced with their shields, but some of the large shields were already pierced by the powerful arrows fired from the ballistas, hitting the soldiers hiding behind the large shields. And some of the arrows passed over the soldiers in the front row and fell on the heads of the soldiers in the back row.
In an instant, the sound of arrows skimming the air and the screams of soldiers being hit overlapped, breaking the silence of the night in the underworld.
"Lord Flammy, the advance of our army has met with fierce resistance!" At this time, Gu Luo and the army he led successfully joined up with Flamie. In fact, after hearing the sound of the house exploding, Guro began to lead his troops towards Flammy's location.
"Now go to the side of the wall, defeat the soldiers defending the city, shut down their wall defenses, and I will take part of my forces into the palace." Flami thought about it for a moment, and then gave the order to Guro.
"If Lord Flammy wants to break through this city, then pass the old decay first!" A deep, somewhat vicissitudes voice sounded behind Flammy.
Flammy looked at the source of the voice, and Serban had already arrived with his weapon.
Sermbe was still wearing his steward's attire, but unlike usual, he already wore stiff shoulder armor on his shoulders, and the faint red glow on his fists was also used in battle. These two pieces of equipment were Selban's armament, and with the aura he exuded at this time, as well as the pupil flames that burst out of his eyes, they brought a lot of pressure to Flami and his soldiers.
"Hmph, you're alone here, and I have 2,000 soldiers, and I'm going to make the main city my Flammy's domain today!" Faced with Thurban, who was already in combat mode, Flammy still showed disdain. He always believed that as long as his troops were sufficient, no matter how strong Serban was, he would not be able to resist the attack of 2,000 men on his own. What's more, Flami himself is not weak.
"Lord Flammy just destroyed the houses in the main city and sacrificed innocent civilians, can the old man take this as a sign of your rebellion?" Serban looked at the still burning house, his face sank, and he stared at Flami tightly.
"I'm just trying to get what I want." Flammy spread out his palms and said jokingly.
"From now on, then, you are the enemies of the Netherworld. As the Steward, I have to kill the enemy.'" With that, Thrban suddenly moved and rushed in front of Flammy. His fist-clad hands glowed red, and he clenched his fists and threw a powerful punch at Flammy.
Flami also unleashed his abilities, hardening his body and raising his arm to block the punch. However, because Selban's blow came so suddenly and so powerfully, Flammy barely stood up when he took the punch.
"It seems that the strength of the old decay is underestimated by Lord Flammy." Serban's eyes were full of intimidation, and the fist that hit Flammy's arm suddenly made a palm shape, and he slammed forward with a palm.
A sharp cyclone swept across Flammy's cheek, and he felt the astonishing power from Selban's blow, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. But as if he had stepped on something, he looked down and saw that the soldier behind him had been knocked to the ground by the cyclone inspired by Thurban's palm.
Green blood flowed everywhere, and Flami could clearly feel it from the very soft touch of the soldier's body when he accidentally stepped on it just now, and the power of Serban's palm passed over him, shattering the bones of all the soldiers behind him. Flammy then knew that Serban's palm was not intended to attack him, but to clean up the miscellaneous soldiers behind him.
"I'm sorry, Lord Flammy, but I still can't be an enemy of the royal family." Gu Luo had already hid behind a private house the moment Selban appeared, and luckily was not affected by Selban's palm. He had completely given up on the fight, and all he could do now was to hide and wait for the strife to end.
"Lord Flammy, what you have done has violated the rules handed down by the previous emperors, and the old man, as the governor, has the right to make you pay for your actions." Serban took a step back and struck a fighting pose towards Flammy.
By this time, the remaining soldiers of Flami had already stormed the city gates and fought with the royal soldiers defending the city. There was a clear difference in numbers between the two sides, and it was only a matter of time before the soldiers defending the city were cleared if Thirban did not come to their aid.
"It's not that easy to kill me." Flami turned his head to look at his own army that had already attacked, sneered, and turned his head to stare at Serban.
"Then let's make a bet, will you defeat me first, or will my soldiers kill your men first......
