As well as wanting to make something or rather add information as a hole to the Demon Kingdom that wasn't available till. The chapters of Arifureta After Story V Tortus Travel Journal 53 As expected of Hellina-san? The few yet outcast secluded peace faction Demon hidden Villages are part of the Maou Allied Forces. But didn't have much say for obvious reasons in what they were going to lose from their massive Kingdom.
Though it matter little when they had few numbers than the Humans or Beastmen combined. But the same amount as the Dragonmen village did. With the help of Liliana before the attack, talks, and trade between this demon faction. Has been surprising, to say the least, but it did help in not only having Liliana's aid. But the backing of Hajime's word to give them a chance who technically was the new Demon King of the Demon Kingdom. So Hajime being called a Maou wasn't a title or name to tease him or gained. But literal in the eyes of Demons as their new King and by extension all of Tortus. Even more so when he literal ruler of Hell since the seven princes and the 72 pillars obey him. And are taking a vacation and going along for the ride.
You could also say this war was sad to say a prime chance for demons to take part in strengthening the ties with their former enemies for who knows how long. That despite the capital and their hidden villages, they may get more land to keep there when all is said and done. It also helps that over the past few years. When the status demons did awaken few at a time they would be taken to this demon faction to try and bring them to their side. Or at least try but if not then sadly. That demon supremacist whose far gone and loyal because of Ehito's brainwashing would be executed to prevent the rise of another war in the future.
As such they are helping in the war effort via magics, combat, teachers, or working in the various magical factories within the Demon Kingdom. On top of what they were doing previously. And if worse comes to worst during the war then they have agreed to join(Given permission) war as extra manpower. And powerful at that since even the weakest of demons is already more powerful than a trained human professional and beastmen. It is the reason despite being outnumbered by humans and a little bit by the beastmen.
They were able to keep humanity in a deadlock for who knows how long, later on winning after they conquered one of the seven great labyrinths. Tipping the balance of the war in their favor drastically and being the reason. Why Hajime and the others were summoned by Ehito in the first place to even out the board as it were.
Okay now with that out of the way onwards with the chapter.
Empire Frontier Town Island#7, Main Base, Barracks open training grounds, June 12th, Year 4 A.F.B(2014)/IC 687 7:40 am multi pov
Going back a bit before Kouki and the others came into clear view besides being clouds on the horizon. Duke Austria Este Ferrara had been worried since they hadn't received any news of the army sent out to claim the new continent. Especially having been a mouth without any word at all so much so he had his noble house loyal divisions stay here.
But he knew much like the other supposedly chosen noble houses to command these paradise Islands ment for vacations. Knew why they were sent to them and for good reason. Court Politics is why they were sent here along with the fact all their houses were falling houses. And not beacuse out of those in line for the throne they chose to back the one only princess least to get. The youngest and last heir to the Falmart Empire throne was Pina Co Lada, one naive yet trying to make great change within the empire.
Much like his eldest daughter Austria Este Maria was within Pina's Order of the Rose composed of only women and being trained by Pina's supporters and retired commanders. Though mostly that order was just for decoration much to the princess's ire and embarrassment with no one taking their order seriously. Only a great showpiece of the empire's beauties be it nobility or the odd beautiful commoner who is able to wield a sword at all. But he knew he wasn't here just beacuse he and everyone else within the six other Islands. Backed the Empire's princesses since like he'd mentioned that was just a small piece of the entire hole.
The only land he had was a small estate on the size of a knight for her eldest daughter back home despite being one of the five dukes. And this entire Island that he oversaw and managed. He shared power with another noble house who was a marquis who had strong ties in the militaristic side and in politics. It made sense the Marquis Ezemen von Shelva was a colonel in the Empire's army. It's also the reason why they even brought back slaves to the Island for the odd or so nobles who come here for tourism or vacation. Perhaps might even live here such as many of his citizens come here since they have nowhere else to go. Or having exiles here but it was mostly for the soldiers always stationed here.
Over the years since the claim of this Island the soldiers here went from 5000 to 100,000 strong alongside his loyal 5000 knights and 5000 knights Shelva sent from his max household in Falmart. A total of 110,000 knights and soldiers were to protect the Island on land with 30 of the Empire's elite wyvern riders to cover the skies. And a strong fleet of 50 ships to protect the waters around this massive Island. That hasn't been fully expanded into or fully searched to see what lives upon it. Besides the view of hostile life, they've found here that attack at night every so often.
Or during the day but are easliy dealt with since wasn't as bad when they were building this beautiful port town and base. Along with the citizens and other smaller noble families living here making the population about 150,000. He didn't count the beastmen women brought here or rather didn't have an official record in his house(+120,000). That also didn't include the beastmen women who were forced to join the invasion force of that new continent.
Since the Empire didn't see them as people and sadly he did as well but that is how was he raised. Yet he always made sure at home to not have beastmen on his territory as in his own way. Was protecting them since he felt it was wrong to treat them in such a fashion. Even the children ones that he had gripes with but he couldn't do that here. He wasn't in full control of the Island after all and his family was here or rather what was left of it since only his 5th youngest son of 5yrs was left. Alongside his other two daughters of 15yrs and 13yrs of age and his wife. Since his eldest was sent back to Falmart alongside his second eldest to join in going across the Gate a few months back. While his 3rd and his 4th went toward the New continent alongside Shelva's 3rd and 4th eldest as well.
Though he only lamented that the Shelva himself didn't join any of the expeditions. But that didn't last long as the alarm was sounded out all across town with everyone going into a bit of a panic. Before his knights came bargaining in with a bit of sorry yet serious expression as he kneeled and spoke up.
Austria Este Knight#3200 "I'm sorry for coming in like this my lord but I need to inform you a dangerous foe is heading our direction!"
Austria Este Ferrara(56yrs) "By your expression tells all I need to know how serious this is my knight. So you're forgiven and please relay to me the danger that's about to be upon us," he says as he looks out his window down below seeing his citizens and soldiers running about in panic. Or hurrying to their stations with serious expressions seeing the Wyvern knights flying toward the east into the open sea.
Austria Este Knight #3200 "...Confirmed sight of a Flame Dragon...and what looks like to be its rider...Along with three...Iron Pegasus is the only way to describe the flying iron cages in the sky. As it's escorts...That is all!" he shouted out in slight fear yet respect with his whole body shaking unable to keep his composure
The whole room including the passing maids stopped what they were doing much like Ferrara's wife and the rest of his family stood by the open door. With Ferrara's eyes go wide in shock and surprise not having expected to hear such a thing. Much less way out here far from the main continent since their Fire Dragon was supposed to be resting or so legends he read about its last appearance so.
The Flame Dragon alone was enough to destroy or at least threaten everything on this massive Island and the people living within it. Yet it wasn't alone and it seemed as ludicrous as it seems, to have been tamed(It wasn't but he didn't know for obvious reasons) like the wyverns were. Before long he heard his wife Gloria speak up whose the eldest daughter of the Palesti household of Marquis Palesti. Whose second eldest and younger sister of his wife is also part of the Order of the Rose, being Bozes co Palesti.
Austria Este Palesti Gloria(29rs) "Dear, is he what he claims and warns true?" heard his young but mature wife say with his daughters and youngest son by her side looking a bit fearful. Yet his wife didn't show it as much as she was a noble lady and knew it wasn't the best time to show distress since it may cause under within the small estate they had
Ferrara "...Yes. Please head towards the shelter and guide the servants done to it with you. Make sure they make it," he says to all of them a bit seriously before looking towards the knight for that last bit.
Gloria "I understand. Come with me children we must go since the father has much to do," she says to her children yet in slighlty a bit tearful tone having to bite down her tongue from wanting him to come with them. As she ordered the maids nearby to call everyone in the estate and to forcibly bring her daughters with them. As such Ferrara didn't get to hear what his daughters were going to say. Only hearing their begging cries to his wife to bring him with him while hearing his youngest son's cries unable to understand what's going on. The knight in question biting down his lip hard causing it to bleed merely bows in understanding before following behind the others. As well as making sure no one within the estate was left behind.
Ferrara himself quickly grabbed his family Mythril sword that was on hung on the right wall. Being the only one he was able to save from his familial armor set having to sell the rest of it off. In having to come here and purchase various ships to sail on his expedition here a decade or so ago. As he did more of his knights were at the ready and awaiting his order.
It didn't take him long on his white horse to head towards the barracks nearby his estate and Shelva. All the while having to feel helpless as seeing the various crowds from the edge. His people descended into chaos as soldiers began to man the streets and beginning to head toward the station. All the while he would the various beastmen women who likly were mothers by now. Knowing they suffered more than having to give birth to daughters but watching as their birth sons were killed and tossed into the ocean deeps. As food for the carnivorous creatures(Sharks, Man-eating octopuses, man-easting water snakes) down below that surrounded these waters from tie to time during their mating season. Being the time no one was allowed to go into the ocean or use the beaches for whatever reason else they faced the risk of death.
He couldn't save all of them that were thrown into the ocean once he received reports from his knights. And few Empire soldiers had issues with sending helpless babies into the ocean even if they were beastmen bastard children off there. It was a miracle he saved 1000 as is but couldn't save more else people would start to take notice and catch on. He wasn't the Empire Noble he'd proclaimed he'd been, as such it was only those 500 over the 5 yrs that he'd saved in such a manner and they have been taken care of in secret. By his servants, himself, and maids within the massive hidden underground shelter with the rest of his family knowing and supporting his course of action.
It was then though as he passed the palm trees of the slighlt dense yet clear forest he saw out into the ocean. Much like the Knights did himself and saw himself the Flame Dragon itself. As well as hear the slighlty rotary sounds the three iron pegasus were making hovering in the sky. Yet on the horizon, he could see just blackness on the surface and slighlty in the sky. Something that's never happened before looking at it was coming ever closer and that caused more dread in his stomach. Yet he saw one of the Wyvern riders behind to head back from the 30.
They were hovering in formation against the Iron Pegusess that moved ahead of the Flame Dragon and two other Iron Pegasus. Less than a dozen miles away from the Island and town itself knowing the navel men were likly just getting to their vessel docked in port. To join the ten out of there sailing at high speed to support the Wyvern Riders as well be on the lookout for something else. Yet it seemed he wasn't the only one heading towards the fortress and barracks where the Empire soldiers lived and trained. As he sees Shelva in his full armor along with his knights following behind him on the other side leading into the main entrance.
Thus after following Shelva and the knights in since they got to the entrance a bit faster. They got off their horses and began to order their respective knight to join the defense while keeping a squad of knights as escorts. Before seeing the wyvern knight flay over the fortress and begin to decade seeing both of them as they stood in the massive training field of the fortress barracks. That's right next to the wyvern living stable and wyvern riders small mansion. Since they were the elite and lived a bit better than normal Empire soldiers.
Wyvern Rider#18 "My lords, sorry if I was interrupting but I bring a message from those within the Iron Peguses itself," he said to both of them with respect yet informing as well
Ezemen von Shelva(37yrs) "From within?" he asked very confused and surprised
Wyvern Rider#18 "Yes it seems their people within the Iron Pegusese meaning they're man-made somehow..." he simply confirmed yet didn't say what was on his mind. Being a bit dreadful and worried about these people who were able to create such a thing. Much less how they had the technology to make it, something the Empire didn't have. So he'd kept his mouth shut since while he was an elite, he'd still get executed for speaking against the empire or implying. Not that he wasn't doing that but he wasn't taking his chance with the Marquis. Since he wasn't as forgiven and reasonable as the Duke next to him was.
Ferrara (I really don't like this) So he thought dreading this situation a whole lot more.
Ferrara "Question we'll solve later, in any case, what the message you bring from them since it seems their ability to speak in the Empire's civil tongue it seems,"
Shelva "Yes so it seems, whoever these barbarians are at least are educated in our langue," he said slighlty amused yet pleased not really taking this situation seriously
Wyvern Rider#18 "They wish or at least the young lad wishes to speak to whoever is in command at once. I obviously came after my captain ordered me to in relaying the message after neither we did. Or they'd attacked surprised as you both are able to understand him, that is all," he said with a slight nodding bow in respect
Ferrara "Well I already know my answer to this barbarian's civil request. The question only becomes what do you have to say on this serious matter Marquis Ezemen?"
Shelva "Well Duke Austria Este, I guess I'll go along with what you say in this matter for once. Since the course of being intrigued by what these barbarians possess."
Wyvern Rider hearing Ezemen's answer breathes a silent sigh thinking perhaps just maybe battle may be avoided. Yet he still gave a Silent joint prayer to Zufumuut the God of Light and Order. The main god of his faith of the twelve along with Emory the god of war, to perhaps give him strength and perhaps all his comrades in what may come. Not knowing his action or prayer was heard by both despite being a silent one amongst the many. Having gotten the attention of the two as they were in the council at the moment. Giving sighs or sternly talking to Hardy who opens the gate again without informing them. As using this Wyvern believer far from home eyes as one of their own.
Curious as to why since he was the very recent prayer from that far away from their turf in a moment(A month). All the while Hardy herself while nodding along taking scoldings from Miritta of all people. Had also used one of her believers there as well being a different Wyvern Rider believer of herself. He prayed to her much earlier than one of her eyes. Able to see two divine yet powerful aura's coming from that Iron Pegasus as her believer called it. Along with seeing an apostle there yet not which was odd. Knowing soon enough once the order Rider comes back. Zufumuut would put a hold on her scolding meeting to show everyone with Emory for once agreeing to do so. Which would surely shock everyone and cause their intrigue.
This happened causing everyone to stop and begin to look as she, alongside Emory and Zufumuut opened a massive clear view divine leans to see what the fuss was. And need to stop their council meeting in scolding her.
Going back to Ferrara it didn't take time at all before they saw overhead and heard the massive Iron Peguseses above(SA 330 Puma). Much like everyone else could with the town could as it began to land. Forcing them to make way yet all below or coming down drawing swords, pointing arrows from the rafts, towers, and walkways. As well as going into the formation surrounding Shelva, Ferrara, and their knights. While above the ten wyverns that came with it as an escort made sure it could escape to the sky(Or so they assumed). Soon enough they saw back of the ramp begin to descend from the back of the Iron Pegueses to revel within.
There they saw Kouki in his Holy Armor with sheathed his sides Holyswords Uralt and Aularodde, Looking towards them as he descended with the ten others. Weapons were drawn and aimed to form a protective formation around their escape vehicle. The Helicopter gunners pointed their guns toward the towers and rafts while the Pilots aimed their weapons from their side windows.
Ready to fight alongside everyone as well that's looking to be the case but weren't worried at all. Not beacuse they had support from Adol and the two supporting attack helis. But beacuse Kouki was with them and if need be the two goddesses within the swords could come out as well and easliy wipe everything. With Moana took Kouki's right side while having drawn her blade and aimed it at the one in front of her husband. Yet soon Ua Alto and Aularodde Lea Rafat spook up
Ua Alto/Aularodde Lea Rafat (It seems they're more blatant with their peeping now than before. Send it to Hajime and well prepare as well should they get involved) they both said seriously within Kouki's mind. After, fully confirming that more than just three divine unknown presences were watching now and blatantly
Kouki (Thanks I'll send it, get yourselves ready) he said back to his two harem goddesses as he then used the Telepathic Returnee network to speak to Hajime directly
Kouki (Hey it's more than three now, I'd suggest you get ready to fight alongside my wives, Yue, and the Seven Princes. Since it is more than three considering you and the others are aces in the hole if these supposed gods decide to show up here) he says telepathically in a serious tone
Hajime from onboard Gahard bridge spoke up with narrowed eyes having seen the massive build-up yet static mana in the sky that looks like a mirror overlooking the Island and some. All of them are different hues and reminiscent of when Yue was possessed by the supposed god Ehito.
Hajime (I got it since I could see the massive build-up of hidden mana from here. Likly those more sensitive to such things could sense it as well. They honestly should've tried to hide it better. In any case how is going down there since Adol reported you've landed at the moment.)
Kouki (...They aren't attacking us at the moment but they do have their weapons drawn at us. Doesn't help that some if not most assholes here are looking at my fiance and female comrades with disgusting eyes. Even a few here gave me and my male comrades the same eyes causing us to shiver a bit. Is this what you've felt being chased by them who shall not be named?) he thought shuddering a bit internally from the lustful stares he was getting from some of the soldiers and knights surrounding them
Hajime (Wellcome to the club I guess comrade, now we just need Kousuke to join us and it'll be golden. In any case, I'll order the command to full speed and order the U-boats to engage in anything hostile underwater. As well send in the air wings and Adol's people to support you and get you out of there. Don't worry you've tried at least. So don't blame yourself for what's to come and what you must do.) he says to him seriously yet understanding as he began to relay the orders to launch and for all vessels to go full speed
Kouki (Thanks Hajime, I'll see you soon) he said mentally disconnecting from the net. Only for them to relay orders telepathically via a telepathy stone artifact that looks like a necklace. That everyone also has one much as everyone else did in the force to get ready to board and fight to get out. Getting confirming responses from every one of his team and pilots along with their gunners.
With that conversation and orders happening in moments, such was the superiority of telepathy communications as he finally stepped out onto the dirt ground with Moana. Looking towards the two looking nobles. Yet oddly opposite of each other with one being in noble roman style clothes and the other likly being in his noble house armor. Then he spoke up looking directly to the two nobles in question not worrying about the blades, arrows, spears, or axes being pointed at them. Oddly though not seeing any of the monsters that attacked Tortus or Japan itself within this garrison force.
More so knowing death wasn't a factor to the Maou force or for that matter everyone around here being weaker than his team along with the helicopter crew.
Kouki "I'm going to assume you two are the ones in charge of this Island yes?" he asked respectfully as he looked seriously towards them with narrowed eyes
Shelva "Well didn't think some barbarian from lands beyond our lands even know to use our civilized speech and tongue. You even brought such lovely-looking animals and women as well despite them being armed," he said in amusement yet a bit of grin as looked toward the women demi-humans and the lovely beauty by the young lad's side side
Kouki "That isn't what the freed beastmen or demi-human women as the term you have for them. Said about your great Empire from the invasion force you've sent a month ago. That by the way all have been killed and the reason why we're here on this Island in the first place." he said respectfully yet seriously to everyone in a loud enough voice to hear. All the while having a serious gaze not caring about the shift in the mood of everyone and neither did his team or the crew.
Shelva "What did you say, boy?" he simply asked in a sour yet bit foul mood with a narrowed gaze at the young yet well-armored barbarian
Kouki "I won't repeat myself since you've heard what you've said. The fact of the matter is your Empire declared war on a unified continent that had finally achieved peace before you lot came knocking. Thus I by a miracle have been allowed to do diplomacy and simply request of all of you in this Island by those above me." He said seriously while letting off a little bloodlust of his own towards everyone around. Making his presence and stance very clear showing the threat he was or rather they thought they knew the danger he possessed.
Causing everyone surrounding the Puma to stake a slight step back before catching themselves and becoming a bit wary. While Shelva was fuming at the thought he was made slighlty terrified of the boy in front of him. While Ferrara himself knew this was bad from experience yet knew nothing else could e done. Since he knew more than half of the soldiers and some of his knights.
Certainly, all of Shelva's knights felt their pride and ego rubbed in an unruly fashion that they wouldn't just let this slide. So with minuscule hope that perhaps diplomacy could be done knowing full well. That an invasion force was coming or close by for the young yet very dangerous. The young lad who looks from a well-off noble family on that continent. Most certainly having lost his sons in yet while being distraught and filled with rage. He was calmer and more collected compared to Ezemen. Who likly was letting the fact his son likly died augmenting the fact his pride and ego were just trampled by the boy in front of them.
Ferrara "Young lad while your foolishness may be commended in your hour of death. Depending on this supposed request you have of us you may yet live for your transgressions. So please relay this message you have from your superiors to us" he asked yet played his role of co-ruler since he couldn't look weak or rather wasn't an option now from the pressure of everyone around. As adding to it he'd unsheathed his sword and let it rest by his side to augment the seriousness of his claim. As well as showing everyone around including Shelva he wasn't taking this either in his personal way. Or so he'd made everyone believe knowing he would perish should a fight break out
Kouki focused on the older gentleman in question with narrowed eyes trying to see something almost like staring into his soul.
Kouki (It's a shame to know there are some of the sound minds knowing how much of a disadvantage they're in despite having the numbers on their side. Even so) he thought a bit sad knowing the old man was just playing the part. Not really meaning the harsh words compared to the other noble that rubbed him the wrong way and really didn't appreciate the fool eyeing up his fiancee.
Kouki "I Amanogawa Kouki, Eiyuu (Hero), champion of Tortus, and messenger of the Maou(Demon King) United Alliance. I hereby ask your garrison and town's unconditional surrender or else face complete extermination. As well as free the Demi-humans captive you have here to us. These are the terms of our Maou and the continent of Tortus let give the liberty to all of us in hope of not spilling more blood!" he shouted out in charisma and bluntness with a piercing gaze as his hands went towards his duel holy swords hilts
The entire area soon became silent at the terms the boy was given or for that matter. This boy fully admits himself to be a heretic or pagan in their religious beliefs and the eyes of their gods and goddesses. The aforementioned stopped what they were doing and stood upright with slighlty widen eyes in surprise. Much more may as well all those who lived upon that continent a week's travel from here. They didn't bother dealing with that continent since it had a powerful god of their own that could deal with them to a standstill with his endless hordes of apostles.
Slighlty being worried about the fact that god Ehitorijue had locked onto them once more after thousands of years in erasing their existence from him. Since they saw firsthand what he was doing to his believers and creations they didn't wish to have him set his people over to their continent. To add more players to the game as he would've said and even invited them to do so.
Yet they much like many others within the world haven't sensed his presence since the red dawn event that added five years ago that covered the entire world and saw the sky turn blood red. Even when it went into the night for the entire day before it vanished the following morning. As the shakings of the world stopped knowing fully well that that bastard was causing the apocalypse himself.
Going back once more to the ground the silence ended with all making a burst of laughter at the terms yet only Ferrara wasn't as his heart sank. Knowing fully well that battle and peace were long go as holy fervor and looks of disdain. Made its way through the entire ranks of his knights and soldiers all around him as Shelva spoke up for the final time
Shelva "You must be insane HERETIC! In asking such ridiculous terms when we hold the advantage and have you surrounded. I'm myself along with those around me will enjoy striking you down along with your fellow heretics you've boughten with you! Though not before we had some fun with half of them first before beheading them as well!~" he stayed with disdain yet a bit desire looking towards the mature beauty next to the Heretic young man. Who he had to admit was better looking and handsome than himself or anyone else on this Island for that matter
Moana "I would love to see you try pathic excuses of a man!" she said back in a threating tone yet regal one like she used to as the former queen of her Kingdom within the Dessert world
Kouki "Guess diplomacy has broken down and I highly doubt it because of your claim. You old-looking ass man aren't just going to let us go quietly so..." he calmly stated as he'd re-sheathed his two holy swords. With a loud clang echoing through the entire fort as he continued speaking
Kouki "Guess we'll have to shed a bit of blood before the main event starts" he finished saying as he turned his back to go back up the ramp
The next instant screams and deathly cries could be heard from above as the ten Wyverns and their riders were cut into two. Followed by the first line of soldiers surrounding the Puma. Heads were decapitated like a hot knife to butter with all of them having a disbelieving expression of their last act before darkness took them over.
As all 50 bodies went lifeless while spewing out blood with their heads landing on the ground with a thud followed by their bodies. Then chaos soon reigned as the puma's gunners oped up *RATARATARARATARARATATARRRAT* with loud thunderous sounds from the easily pulverizing archers on the walkways, towers, or roofs with deathly screams ringing out following continuous splat noise as they turned into a fine mist.
While Moana and the others soon launched towards the next line easliy disappearing from their sight lines. Their blades, axes, or spears easliy pierced through their armor as if they didn't have any. Helps when your weaponry and gear are artifacts that nations would go to war for just a single one of them. Having the element of surprise still as within seconds soldiers and knights had just lost over 2000 men and continuing.
As Moana and the others weren't going to let their enemies lack reaction within seconds. Go unpunished limb by limb or head by head or by setting by bisecting were taken either killing or maiming them completely. As a large pool of blood was beginning to form and the smell of guts and fat along with iron permeated the air. Finally when the ten bisected wyverns half landed on top of the ground of knights or soldiers.
Away from the spinning rotary blades of the puma as it was about to lift off with Moana and the others easliy returning into the back of it. After taking care of another 200 on the ground and maiming 1000. While the gunners had easliy dealt another 3000 loss of archers making them blood mist as well. Along with splatters against the walls.
Yet that wasn't all that happen as soon sounds of explosions rang out across the fortress itself and the town as the two attack helicopters began to engage the ballista emplacements and catapults around the entire Islands. In doing so take out stone fortifications or walls blowing them open yet with their guns began to target personnel near the beaches or fortifications.
As their gun opened with HE explosive rounds in rapid fire easliy took out ten by ten soldiers after their rounds landed on them or next to them. Only to explode causing ten to die out right in bits and pieces. While others were blown away a hundred feet easliy losing their legs or arms alongside third-degree burns. Those being in the 20 to 30 range of fatal injuries for every shot making loose blood fast with most likly dying from either shock at what happened. Or from blood loss unable to get treatment in time.
In Adol's and his rider's case, they attacked the remaining 20 wyvern riders with their first attack taking out half as Adol easliy bite through 2 wyverns in half eating their riders. With his wing span along sudden speed, he easliy bisected another 8 wyverns horizontally from head to tail with their riders' legs being lost as well. Falling to their death into the clear ocean below from 200ft in the air. And if the impact of them hitting the water didn't kill them the hostile-looking sea life in the water looking towards them in the sky will.
With the other ten beacuse of their instinct of self-preservation and stress training in war situations. Had moved out of the way saving their rider's life but didn't have the same reaction speed as them. As only by pure instinct and ingrained training alone managed to hold tightly onto their mount's sudden movement of dodging. They didn't also suffer the same fate as their other comrades as they could only look on in horror watching everything unfolding.
It was then that 10 seconds passed since the massacre of their forces began. It was too late for them to go on the counteract or seek vengeance for their comrades as the Iron Pegues had just lifted off the ground. With supposed hero and champion of the Maou United Alliance looks towards them with a bit of sadness yet has a strong gaze. The others that came with them flicked off the blood of their comrades, soldiers, and knights from their weapons while giving them slighlty amused yet cold stares of indifference. All the while the defining sound of those terrible weapons spews death where its mouth was pointed at. As was going to be turned towards them and seeing death in the face.
Ferrara while grabbing a disbelieving and shocked Shelva unable to comprehend what was going on. As well as the loudest voice he could scream out somehow overpowering the guns in question. With fearful and desperate eyes ordered
Ferrara "EVERYONE GET DOWN!," was all he could muster out in a fearful yet ordering tone
Those whose self-preservation instincts and listening to Ferrara's order survived as they discarded their weapons to lay down prone. As for the rest*RATARARATARARATARTARATARTATATATA*Blood Spraying/Bone Shattering/Awful bloody noise*
Kouki "Enough, let's head back home and only engage if fired upon. Considering we've made our point and showing the display between us!" he orders out loud as the Puma was 30ft in the air. After seeing the poor idiots who didn't go prone upper bodies were blowing off, made into minced meat, or became fine red mist. That covered the entire grounds and was slightly in the air for a moment. Before being blown away by the rotary blades of the Puma knowing his enemies heard him say such a command as well.
In doing so the door guns of Meztel stopped firing as the gunners let go of the trigger from firing more 30mm rounds as not firing the full 12000 rounds a minute. And for good reason as the reaming knights, soldiers, and two nobles were shaking in place covering their ears. But only the kind noble looked up towards them in fearful yet saddening gaze as tears began to fall from his eyes. Likly the only person who knows the Island was going to fall if they could do this much damage in under a minute and few people. While the others had fearful expressions hate and vengeance could also be seen in their eyes but didn't pick up their weapons or shields again.
Not when they couldn't do anything with their fortress/barracks may as well being in destroyed from the damage the 30mm rounds did to the place. Not really stopping going through the human bodies, but wood and stone as well. Thus knowing this he was about to leave to rejoin Adol and the other two attack helicopters that stopped their attack. Yet knowing in 20 minutes or so the first airwing of the Maou navy will decent upon this entire Island. He gave a final warning knowing it would help them with what was to come. He just wants to minimize the casualties as possible no matter how little that may be
Kouki "I thank you for your understanding and suggest you get to defend since this wasn't even an attack on our part. As well once the attack ends I suggest you pray to whatever deity you believe in. Confessions of your sins and getting your last-minute affairs in order in a couple of hours' time after the attack. Our full might will decent upon this Island and we will take it from your lifeless hands. Hope you enjoy the last moment of your life since by today's end none of you here will be left alive. Have a good rest of your mornings" he simply states bluntly with indifferent eyes as he turned his back to all of them who looked up at him as he spoke.
Before long they were fully in the air and heading back to the Maou Navy with Adol and two attack helicopters in tow. Obviously on the way back passed the thousands of ww2 aircraft onto the Island itself. Though would arrive on that Island in 10 minutes since it took him 10 minutes to meet them halfway making as he proclaimed to them. That in 20 minutes their first attack would decent upon the Island itself stood no chance at all.
And so it did as everyone watched in horror as if the sky was forcibly covered by night as thousands upon thousands attacked The town, port, fortress, fortifications barracks, and remaining "AA" emplacements. The remaining 10 wyverns riders couldn't do anything despite giving it their all yet were easliy gunned down by mustangs. As guided or carpet bombings, napalm, or striving any open targets. As well as building that was occupied by the enemy despite knowing there will be civilian casualties for now.
Once that was done and everyone expected their munitions to rain death from above yet leaving alone the ships. Since those weren't their targets or rather didn't take them since they were claimed by their comrades before they even got here. The whole Island was covered in creators, still burning fire from Nalplam along with the forests, unfortunate civilian and soldier corpses litter the almost destroyed town with few budlings still standing. The two grand Noble estates were reduced to knights' corpses being left there. All the fortification and port against invasions was gone with the forest being turned into a burning hellscape with the native life within trying to escape where ever they could hostile or not.
Yet as they back from their initial bombardment and strafing the body count and civilian casualties combined with Kouki's group. Initial sudden but necessary surprise attacks to get out. Stood 3000 civilians, 30 wyverns riders, 50000 soldiers, 5000 Ezemen knights, and 2100 Austria Este knights. With 10000 wounded soldiers and 2000 wounded civilians, the port lost along with all fortifications with the only saving grace. Was that the burning forest preventing any of the hostile creatures from coming into and creating more chaos. The survivors of the attack began to count along with Ferrara in the hours that followed in trying to save many of the wounded from under the ruble. Or get them medical aid(Or whatever they had to prevent them from bleeding out) with the civilians coming out and helping as well. Well, those still of strong and sound mind not letting the horror and grief of losing everyone affect them.
Yet leaving their pets(Demi humans) to die since they matter little compared to actual people save for Ezemen's knights who tried saving them as well. But not everyone as the Demi-human body count soared high. Since were left by their owners or slave trades/brothel owners when they first tried to hide when Kouki's group arrived. Making their count sadly become 90000 with 1000 wounded(The ones that could've been saved and not added to the 90000). yet dread returned and a few looked out into the ocean. Those brave enough to be on the lookout and sounded the alarm before falling to the ground were defeated spotting the Maou Navy. Much like their navy did in sighting their enemies' entire navy 20 miles away from them and 50 miles from the Island itself.
4 hours later Island ruined base/port town #7, June 12th at 11:40 am Multi pov
Zufumuut and the others could only look in surprise and awe at what the apostle yet not as Amanogawa Kouki called himself a Hero. Is an adept term and one they'll likly use in the future. His group easily took out 6000 men before leaving with the unknown Flame Dragon somewhere east. While they could see where it was going they weren't going to risk. Perhaps awakening Ehitoijue if he's even alive at this point since they were already risking it by overlooking the entire Island close to his continent.
Yet they didn't discuss much as from the edge of their vision 100 miles out they saw something unbelievable
Emory "What the hell are those!?"
That was the question on everyone as they saw mortals flying in the air without the use of magic in black mental cages and saw the Maou United Alliance insignia on all 5000 of them. All closely flying with each other yet making sure they didn't get in each other's way and what followed in the next 10 minutes. Wasn't war but a massacre, a one-sided beatdown of their people.
Ducan "This is..." he couldn't say more despite being excited at the marvel of what Kouki's group had and the flying cages where he could only cover his mouth stunned yet horrified
Emory on the other had fists turned into rage yet kept his compare not looking at the supposed battle. There was no honor or glory here just senseless death, Zufumuut was looking with narrowed eyes as his people dying helplessly. Hardy was loving this yet had an oddly stern expression watching everything unfold. While the other gods and goddesses had different expressions of their own.
Then for just a brief moment of a couple of hours once the devastation had ended leaving the frontier port town in ruins save for a few buildings that had shelters underground. Much like the two nobles' estates had well-ruined estates anyways. Their people, their creations still lived not needing to worry about the hostile life within the entire burning forest. Across the remaining Island spreading wildly just not crossing the small lakes or rivers within the Island so only half in total the Island was in flames. That would go out in a few hours just as the black navy was the only thing they could call it we they first laid their eyes upon the invasion force.
Just an hour before they arrived having come to the conclusion of risking finding this unknown demon force their subjects forced a war with. They were in a way in not only they're being more of the Flame Dragon's kind numbering in the hundreds(700 Dragon men from the dragonmen hidden village/Tio's race). But a fleet of black with crimson steel man-made ship ships of various sizes, war or otherwise. Yet they could see magic coming off all of them feeling their numbers, the mages, the saints, the sisters, and even demi-humans of various kinds. Join them side by side as equals not how it was in their continent. The skies are black by the thousands of Iron Dragons and Iron Pegausess of different kinds as well.
Not adding to the face below they could see just black with crimson outlines in the clear waters like a protective shadow being made by the ships. Could only call such things as iron sea dragons numbering just as much if not less to the ships that spend from horizon to horizon in miles. Causing all the gods and goddesses to take a seat with wide eyes. Even Hardy not having her usual amused or grinning expressions anymore but is serious as well.
Hardy (This...is very bad...) was the only thought in her mind since within that place was an existence, an anomaly, a monster that was heretical in their eyes.
Since she and everyone else could feel and sense this thing was not only protected by another goddess or two. But had the aura of slaying a god ingrained in its very being and one they knew as the god Ehitorijue. It's power and presence alone despite its great efforts trying to be hidden. Knew easliy dwarfed the goddesses, the Hero, and anyone else within the massive force.
Yet could also feel that it wasn't being itself alone but the weight of worlds one of Fire and Brimstone(Hell) and one of nature along with serenity(Minature Garden). Yet much like the Hero, it felt like an apostle yet not only larger in scale as if composing all their 12 apostles put together if not more(He being the Avatar to King Tree on Earth, and him having access to the Ture World Tree in Fairy would by extension. Other Branch trees in the other 7 worlds like Earth's King tree. Giving him access to unlimited if not infinite mana should he need it. then his usual limitless reserves of mana, he has at all times able to regain no problem)
It is bad enough since there were many warriors of mortals within that force bordering their apostles in strength and power. If not outright outshined them that it might take more than two if not all their apostles working together in taking them down. A prime example is the Hero within the force yet by the time their decision on how to help their people. It was too late as now they were just 50 miles away from the frontier port town or what was left of it. The remaining defenders rushed or tried to find the will to fight as they all saw what they did an hour ago.
With the 50 wooden warships seeing such a thing first before everyone else with all the captains or generals of the ships hearts sank seeing such a sight. Even so, as give their merchant vessels just off the shallow shores of the beaches. In hopes of evacuating the Island to the other Frontier Port town Island a week's journey west of their citizens and families. All they gave the orders to fully charge and catch speed to engagement range with the others ships that looked in the thousands stretching out into the Horizen. Seeing the Skies above it being blocked out by the untold thousands of Iron Pegegues and Iron Dragons. And the previous Flame Dragon was with its kin of fellow Flame Dragons of different colors or the same. With their Dragon Riders on top of them as they saw from their spyglass.
It is safe to say those within the Maou United Alliance force and Navy saw them as well or already knew where their positions were hours prior. Before the cute yet idiotic warships decided to charge them as fast they could in those slow vessels. Compared to what they have now with most if not all ship captains or Admirals having an amused chuckle yet impressed at their enemy's will to still fight.
Gahard "Just slighlty feel bad about this honestly. More so for our navy anyways not really going to have a challenge out at sea," he says out loud with a mused smile from his Yamato-class vessel named after him
Beastmen(Tigermen) Vice Admiral#50 "Perhaps but who knows our boys and gals may get to truly test our vessels against the creates of this vast unknown ocean. After all, the only alternative choice is going to have a war against one another, " he says next to him also having a slight chuckle
Hajime "Maybe will create a war game between all the counties once the Island Campain is over. After all, you wouldn't need to worry about dying or having to be careful about the damage to the vessels. Myself, all the other synergists, and Restoration Magic are always on standby. But things for later, in any case, are Ankaji's forces ready to head out? Since their the ones who will be the main occupation force for this Island and the ones who won out in doing the first battle?" he asked simply while looking behind him to the Duke, Prince, and Princess of Dukedom of Ankaji with a slight smile on his face
(Duke) Lanzwi Feuward Zengen "They have been ready since an hour ago as the preparation has been complete Hajime," he says with respect and in his Admiral Uniform as one of the 25 Admirals within the Navy.
Lanzwi stood 189cm tall with chocolate-colored skin, slighlty short black with a black goatee beard with jade eyes. Having a slighlty muscular yet slender body structure, having the aforementioned Admiral Navy uniform instead of his homeland's attire since they were upon the ocean. With his royal familial crest on it, overall a decent yet bit handsome older man in his late thirties and early forties. As well one of the rules and people Hajime respects greatly like a friend, something that's very difficult to do
(Prince) Bize Feuward Zengen "It's more so the problem of what to send against the vessels in front of us since the likes of a battleship would be overkill as you would say Maou-dono," he says in respect yet informs having a bit embarrassed expression
Bize stood 182cm tall with light chocolate-colored skin, slightly long blonde hair with jade eyes. Having a lean body structure compared to his old man having a Brigadier General uniform within the Maou United Alliance. Being one of the 30 to be given such positions be it the skill he gained over the years and through his ties to Hajime's returnee group. As well as the leader of another religious group called the Angel Religion that worshiped Kaori. Having the crest of said Religion on his uniform and those under his command belonging to the Angel Religion. Being 30,000 men and women of his faith that were accepted and spread throughout tortus over the past few years from the Dukedom. Overall a slightly handsome yet cute man who looks in his early twenties.
(Princess) Airie Feuward Zengen "Shame to say that's the case but in any case, Hajime-dono knows that my people will not fail here for Tortus and our future going forwards. I can promise you that much," she says with strength yet honesty in her tone having a grin of her own
Airie stood 180cm with chocolate-colored skin long blond flowing hair reaching past her ass with short bangs and jade eyes. Having a sliglty voluptuous yet hourglass figure with enormous breasts(E cup), a plump ass(G size), and nice thighs are usually seen in people her age. Just like her long-gone mother, the Queen did when she was still around before she passed away. Her attire at the moment not being the dress her countrymen women wear but the Vice Admiral's attire with her royal familial crest on it.
She's the current heir to the throne since her elder brother discarded the right to rule preferring to be the leader of the religion he founded 5 years back. She's 34 vice Admiral of the Maou Navy out of 50 under her father's command be it beacuse of her previous skills and the ties she has to Hajime's group. As well as being one of the first ones to try to establish good relations with the Beastmen, Demons, and Humans in this new era of peace they had.
So much so that for the greater good she only seemed out suiters from the Beastmen or Demons to strengthen the ties like many others that followed her lead. Unknowingly she had become the fiancee of her reverse harem of men. One is from the Haulia tribe that she got along with, and another is one of the Demons who understood her mentality as she did. Since that demon was a former head heir to a noble house that was hunted to just him for wanting peace with humanity and the beastmen like many other demons in hidden villages across the demon kingdom. The last was an Elven "young" man who looked in his late teens but wasn't for obvious reasons. Who was the second youngest son to the one of council members of Verbergen. That she got along with them as well and much like she had the same mentality as she did.
All of them including her sacrificing love for the better picture of peace something a princess normally would've done. With the case of Liliana being an expectation of lifetimes over yet all not mind in the end. Since Liliana did Tortus and Heliligh Kindom a huge favor by being part of Hajime's harem the man she loved.
Overall a very attractive yet beautiful woman whos in her late teens like Liliana is at the moment.
Hajime "Well I guess the cruisers and aircraft carriers are out then. Literally, anything we have is overkill to those wooden boats over the as AAA guns could easliy shred those ships like butter. Just send a few destroyers at them since I'm sure the sub crews might be offended if we sent them after those ships" he says after some thought
Lanzwi "I'm sure they would in any case send five of our destroyers escort to combat them since they should be enough. As well get yourself on of the Trianna boats son so that you guys could begin your landing operations," he ordered out
Bize "Understood father, If you excuse me, sister, General, and Supreme Commander I must go join my men," he said and saluted in respect
Gahard "No worry, give them hell," he says to him with a grin saluting him back much like the others did seeing him step out of the bridge to join the occupying force
Soon enough from the spyglasses they lost count of how many men or women were getting on the smaller black crimson outline metal boast(Triana). All much like the larger metal ships able to move along the water without sails or paddles. Yet these untold number of boats were staying a couple of ways back from the five larger vessels than their ships but smaller in scale compared to the rest of the fleet. Had sailed towards them likely having the same on the vessel on them but they couldn't read the writing(Vampire, Hunter, Allen M Sumner, Z-23, and Yukikaze)
Yet as they finally got after 20 minutes of sailing within 15 miles away from the metal ships, those said metal ships were turning either right or left aiming their massive cannons(5-inch/127mm/duel or triple turret guns) at them. All of them for just a moment wonder the way they were doing such a thing when they weren't in engagement range at all. or some laughing internally that perhaps their enemies were idiots who didn't know how to use their ships.
Yet that laughter or slight hope was dashed the next instant as their enemies' canons roared to life. *Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, etc* was all they heard for a few seconds. The next instant sounds of explosions, wood shattering, screams of right and horrible, or cries for help. Soon echoed through their entire formation as their 5 great marvels of the Empire(Man of War) were hit and destroyed. Same with most of their ships just left half of their formation alive yet were damaged a bit as well from the stay cannon balls being flown into their ships, or wooden pieces of planks being embedded into their ships.
As all wound them with fear and horrified eyes were seeing their comrades and friends bleeding out, jumping overboard, exploding into pieces along with their ships, burning alive. As the remaining crews and soldiers of those ships were either trying to save as many as they could or asking them for help. As most of the destroyed vessels have sunk yet. However, that didn't help as warning cries of man-eating monsters appeared, and were drowned out by the cannon fire of their enemies once more, the captain of one of the clippers looked up as one of the massive salvo shells was going to hit him.
Empire Captian#25678 (Ah so this is it huh...sorry Gracias, Halmel, Cyrstal your father isn't coming home. Oh goddess Miritta please look over my family when I'm gone) those were his last thoughts and prayer before the shell turned him into minced meat and bloody mist. Alongside the explosions of his ship into burning flames as it hit the gunpowder storage. Yet still going through killing one of the man-eating snakes below just arriving alongside many others for the sudden feast and death that just happened a moment before.
From both, the shore and ships could see burning flames(As well as from above as the Zufumuut and the others were still watching), the sinking wrecks of ships, the sinking of men unable to swim to the surface beacuse of their armor, the untold body pieces scatter across the entire place where the ships once floated. The massive dark crimson pool is like a stain in the clear waters able to see the coral reef below and other harmless beautiful fish. Yet that wasn't the case as in the horror of ten seconds, the fleet of 50 ships was reduced to shreds and burning fire. Were the unison screams of death or cries for help as the man-eating sharks, octopuses, and snakes swarmed the entire sight like moths to a flame
They easily were visible to the naked eye save for the Maou United Alliance and Navy via their radar(Ones massive enough like a small boat) and were able to sense them with ease as they didn't mask their killing intent. Or know how to mask the presence they gave beside the naked eye as they descended upon the corpses and survivors below or above the water on floating pieces of wood. Or still large enough parts of ships that haven't sunk yet with those still sane of mind and haven't succumbed to despair. Tried to fight or fend them off despite being a futile endeavor as tears fell from their eyes.
As those few and everyone watched bodies being swallowed whole, torn to shreds, being played with as they were ripped apart limb by limb, or dragged into the depths never to be seen. Save for those in the U-boats or submarines able to see what the creatures did to their enemies. Some were let go as they struggle to get back up while the snake or the like simply watched. Almost as if having a sadistic grin, others pop into bloody chucks from the water pressure along with being squeezed to death.
Some of the sea creatures fighting among themselves as more and more started to show up all around them in varying sizes. Yet from radar via radar and sensed by all behind them 100 miles out large signals appeared from the blue and closing fast. With the Largest being bing as Yamato class and the smallest being destroyer size. That number in hundred of these larger ones in total with the smaller once being in the thousands every increasing likly trying to get what they could before the large ones showed up.
It was then all across the navy calls for battle stations were wrong out as the entire U-boat and Submire screen began to turn to fight against the enemy behind them. Same with all the other ships as well since those creatures were the bigger threat but still left a few Battleships, all the Aircraft carriers, a few cruisers, and 10 destroyers to back up the land invasion. The Aircraft carriers supporting the new battle alongside the land invasion that was underway were escorted by two destroyers.
With thousands upon thousands, Triana boast of moving away from the massive frenzy zone if need be. Easliy able to deal with any of the smaller sea creatures that tried to go for them. However, all within the force didn't see their enemies die in such a fashion, much less that brutally and cruelly. So the two Destoyers and 50 of the Triana speedboat armed transports. Went into the zone to pick up any survivors they could while helping their enemy in dealing with the thousands of sea creatures. As magic, gunshots, slashes, explosions, and depth charges began to take place. In trying to save the few surviving crew members and soldiers of the fleet that likly number above 5000 across the 50 ships.
Yet on shore some if not most of the defenders lost morale or hope as some let their swords, bows, crossbows, shields, etc drop on their side after the loss of their fleet. Yet could only feel helpless unable to save their comrades and friends from being eaten alive. As was Ferrara felt being on the frontline while Shelva was managing the internal line. Yet all knew that was a lie since after the destruction of their town after witnessing the wrath of the Heretical enemies. He'd lost sanity and reason and was forced to be locked up by his own knight for the sake of the greater good.
Yet all saw all the ships begin to turn away after they were just 30 miles away from shore. As it looked like they were only going to leave a few from the thousands they had. Yet they all saw their enemy forces begin to head toward them by the thousands of smaller metal ships that looked to be faster. 50 of those and two of the large ships(destroyers) threw themselves into the fray against the sea creatures assaulting or eating their comrades. And by the looks of it were trying to save as many as they could fighting alongside them even though they were enemies. Causing all to have a bit of hope that their enemy wasn't the heartless demons they were told to be growing up.
However, even could see this wasn't a small force but an entire army comprised of humans and demi-humans numbering in the tens of thousands. Against their remaining force equal in number still willing to fight with the rest having given up or succumbed to despair. It took another 5miutes before they were in range at their archers and crossbowmen as they reached the shore. At that Ferarra gave the order after taking out his blade from on top of his hose with the remaining cavalry they had numbering 1000 strong
Ferarra "FIRE!" he orders out as they all 5000 archers and 5000 crossbowmen let lose their arrows or bolts down range yet
Bize "BARRIER MASTERS!" he along with other leaders and the like under him ordered out in turn
Barrier Master#23001 {SACRED SHEILDS!} he chanted out much like the rest of the barrier Masters within each of the squads chanted fast and precise after seeing the arrows and bolts fly to them and their comrades.
Multiple holy shields of light in either large circular square, rectangular, or diamond shapes appeared in front of the boat, and above them across the thousands of Triana. Though having the Angel Faith crest on each of the shields yet still others with shields on them lifted up their shields. But multiple of them went off at once causing a blinding flash of light effect upon their enemies not having expected such a thing. Thus that was the only volley they had to worry about for now as when after a minute passed of blocking thousands of arrows or bolts. All of them got off onto the sandy white yet slightly blood-standing beaches looking towards their still blinded enemies. Who was barely regaining their eyesight as Bize with his countrymen and followers of the Angel Faith across all of Tortus. Pointed his swords and shouted out
Bize "CHARGE!" he shouted and yelled out as he began to run up the beaches to his enemies a thousand meters away that was in the slightly charcoaled yet green forest and dirt road.
ALL 27000 men and women including beastmen of various kinds "AHHHHH!, Hello NEW WORLD!" they all shouted out in a fever and chanted out their religious chant of Hello New World all not choosing to use their guns and the like upon their enemies. Since it would be more overkill than it currently was, as their enemies tried to get into a ready stance just recovered from their temporary blindness
...To be continued...Maybe...
Thanks for reading to the end and hope you enjoyed the chapter or at least thought it was decent. As well hope did the character introductions a decent job. Along with each of the interactions didn't feel forced in anyways.
Anyhow next chapter, whenever it comes out, will conclude the battle for the Island and perhaps the battle at sea. Against the unexpected third party, the sea creatures. Do leave a review or criticism if you wish to do so. In any case as mentioned a poll for this story will be up on my profile for you guys to vote on if you so wish.
