Here it is...
I've waited so long to type this, I've had it planned since the day I decided to bring Misora and the other demons under Sivert's wing. Since the day the Hunter was able to command taken, the day he was able to bring the Scorn under his command, the day he was able to tame the Hive..
I went all out with this, using all the knowledge I have to make it. It's not perfect and not what I expected, I will admit that, but trust in me when I say worked hard in these next two chapters.
Now, enjoy!
Chapter 36, A Commander's Will
{Attention all personnel! You are being directed towards the island of Hell's Paradise. Report to your fireteam leaders in Hangar bays A to D}
Lyra jogged down the hallway and entered Hangar bay C. She was met with a beautiful sight.
Several Jumpships were launching out from the Hangar's and taking flight after so long!
The warlock ran towards her personal jumpship given to her by Sivert. An all black HAWK that was heavily weaponized, fitting her taste.
She spotted the Titan Evander standing next to it.
"Evander! You ready?"
The warlock excitedly asked her friend.
The Titan smiled softly and shook his head.
"I'm not coming with."
Lyra's smile became a frown.
"Huh? Why!?"
"Because I helped create Hell's Paradise. I know everything there and what to expect. It'd be unfair.. Besides.. I'm already super strong. A bunch of Demon's aren't going to satisfy me." the titan proudly responded.
Lyra looked down.
Guess that explains why he isn't wearing any armor, but simple garments.
"I see. Then I will see you soon." Lyra held out her right hand.
"I wouldn't say that." Evander replied and shook it.
"Huh? Why?"
The Titan only smiled at her…
He then walked away in silence.
Lyra's brows furrowed and she started becoming cautious. He knew something she didn't obviously..
Whatever it was, it was probably dangerous..
"Lyra! Get in your damn ship already!"
The Hunter Lethaea shouted from across the hangar.
"I know! I'm coming!"
The warlock hopped inside the cockpit and watched it close.
"Been a while…"
She whispered, looking at the cockpit's controls. She began pressing the necessary buttons and switches to activate the jumpship.
The warlock took several deep breaths before gently pushing the stick forward. Her ship took off at quick speeds and she took flight.
Lyra laughed joyfully.
To be able to fly a jumpship again!
Oh it was such a nostalgic feeling.
She flew towards the fleet flying slowly above the tower. In the center of the fleet was a larger ship.
The HELM….
A Vanguard Command ship Sivert salvaged and repaired from the old Tower.
Brand new and ready to be used!
Nimerah and Aurora along with other Vanguard officials were on the ship.
They were waiting for all the participants to join up with the fleet before they made way towards the island.
The black Pyramid tech jumpship soared through the sky, faster than any other jumpship.
It begun to slow down once it arrived near the beautiful golden palace.
The ship landed in the personal landing pad for the ruler of this palace.
The ramp door's opened from under the ship, revealing Sivert.
His garments consisted of black pants, a black long sleeved shirt accented with white boots and white stripes respectively. He had two golden vambraces on both his arms and golden ornaments at the top of his sleeves along with a golden collar piece around his neck.
His outfit finished up with jet black fingerless gloves that attached to the shirt and a black waist cloak that covered most of his rear and down to his ankles.
Along with a long white cloak that Aria thought would make him look cooler.
Sivert walked out, greeted by two rows of five Arch Demons.
Split up and facing each other.
Sivert walked down the gap these two rows of Arch Demons created and they turned in unison, following Sivert and escorting him to the palace throne room.
He looked up at the blue sky where his flagship the Supremacy flew idly. Surrounded by a massive Cabal and Eliksni fleet.
Sivert entered the palace and made his way straight down the golden hallway that led towards the throne room.
Standing by the large doors were two large Tormentors who begun to push the large door's open with a singular hand instead of the once two large Vex Minotaur's.
The light inside the throne room was blinding but as Sivert stepped into the room it revealed the new throne room.
Same in design but what Sivert called new was all his strongest subordinates waiting inside.
Lined up in two rows in front of the white pearl pathway. Behind those two rows were several other's.
The room was filled with Demons, Cabal, Eliksni, Awoken, Humans and guardians who dedicated their lives to Sivert.
"Lord Sivert has arrived."
The Demon Peer Misora announced with a smile, she stood next to the golden throne that belonged to her master.
Sivert walked down the pathway and looked up at Misora.
Standing next to her was the Demon Peer Squall and Sivert's commanders and Barons for his Cabal and Eliksni.
Ten Bracus's, Seven Val's and Three Valus's, Five Psion Flayer's with Otzot included and Seven Baron's with the ship stealer Eramis Included as well.
She has become immensely loyal to Sivert ever since he revived her homeworld and united her people.
Sivert stepped up to his throne and turned around. Sitting down on it.
He looked down at his followers.
Legendary warriors from different races who pledged their souls to him.
To think it'd come to this…
Sivert chuckled a little in satisfaction.
"Lord Rhaegar has already arrived at the island my Lord. All that awaits is for the Lightbearer's to begin their assault." Misora reported.
"Good."
Sivert snapped his fingers and a large blue square shaped projection appeared.
Showing the island..
Sivert was watching..
Everyone was watching..
Everyone on both sides knew that.
The forces of Darkness have become relentless since their beloved master is watching.
To fail in front of him would be a sin that could not be forgiven in their eyes.
The forces of Light will strive and push past their limits to defeat their enemies.
Hehehe..
A game in Sivert's eyes this whole…
Creation of his..
It'll be quite entertaining for him.
Nimerah's eyes were set straight ahead at the beautiful blue sky..
The bridge of the HELM was quiet, only the sounds of those working to keeping the ship in the air could be heard.
This trial created by Sivert..
It will be tough for everyone but tougher for her.
This is her time to shine, to be the commander the Guardians desired and needed.
If she fails here..
Then she never should've taken up the mantle in the first place.
She took a long deep breath and gripped tightly onto her staff.
She was nervous..
"We're approaching the island commander!" a human part of the bridge crew reported.
Nimerah only responded with a small nod.
Straight ahead, the blue skies were no more..
There was a large dark storm straight ahead, one many would avoid.
But the fleet didn't..
With the HELM leading, they flew into the storm where their vision and scanners were blocked for several minutes.
This worried Nimerah. Will they get attacked in the storm?
Finally they exited the storm and got to see the Hell Sivert created.
A large.. volcanic island with a Pyramid ship in the middle. A scarlet Fortress surrounded the ship..
She immediately examined the surroundings..
The perfect place to establish a foothold on the island would be the beaches.. it's well defended but not like the rest of the island where the scanners are reporting heavy air defenses.
A straight and forward attack will do. If they can secure the Fortress on that beach. They can move deep into the island with no problem..
And straight for that Pyramid..
Where the Demon Surtr awaited them.
The only thing Nimerah was truly worried about was that Hive fleet above the Island.
One large dreadnaught accompanied by several smaller ones and a ton of Tombships.
Just how did Sivert manage to acquire that…
That fleet will be a problem if they wanted to control the skies, they needed to get rid of it..
But even a thousand jumpships couldn't pull such a thing off…
However…
Nuclear Magic just might.
"Vanguard to all units. I believe Sivert has called you lazy earlier. Let us prove him wrong. Let's secure this quick and easy victory." Nimerah said with a smirk.
"Hell yeah commander!"
The comms buzzed with cheers and Nimerah laughed quietly before giving order's.
"Titans, Listen to me closely.."
If her plan was to work, she needed all of them on point..
Lyra's eyes widened at what she just heard through the comms..
A bold strategy in her eyes..
They don't even know what the main force defending that Fortress is..
She heard a loud roar and looked to her right and out her cockpit window.
A few guardians riding on the back of Wyvern's arrived with one leading them.
A Hunter rode on the back of a large Dragon Lord that led the Wyvern's. It was fitted with jet black heavy armor with two long horns adorned on its helmet.
The armor was made personally by Kali and very expensive for the hunter riding the dragon.
Astraea..
She and her dragon whom she named The Count were a great duo. Lyra's seen what they're capable of during one of Shaxx's tournaments.
If Nimerah manages to control the skies, this battle would be won before it even finished.
Astraea looked to her left and spotted Lyra looking at her. The hunter gave a small wave which the warlock returned.
"Begin the attack!"
Nimerah ordered.
Lyra and several other jumpships immediately dove down for the island and the Fortress on the beach.
"Incoming!"
Not even a full minute in and they were being shot at!
Large Hive Wizard's and Shrieker's were firing non-stop at the incoming jumpship's.
"AGH!"
Several Jumpship's were already being shot down..
Lyra kept hers steady, locking onto a Wizard.
She pressed the trigger on her stick and her jumpship fired several missiles towards the Wizard.
With that one wizard would be down.
"?!"
The missiles crashed against an orange resonance barrier surrounding the Fortress.
"Crap…"
Lyra muttered, the wizard she fired at started to focus on her.
Hordes of Arc Projectiles were fired her way.
"Damnit.."
Lyra pushed down on the stick and her jumpship begun heading all the way down.
She was hoping to do some damage to the Fortress before transmitting onto the ground but she had no choice.
Once close enough, Nemo transmitted her out of the ship and onto the beach.
Where she was met with a full scale war!
"Shit!"
"Watch out!"
"Push forward!"
Those who landed on the beach were quickly pinned down by ground forces.
Hundreds of Hive Acolytes accompanied by Knight's and Ogre's rained hell on them.
Guardians were falling left and right.. some already losing their ghosts. They were cocky and arrogant and they learned this the hard way.
Luckily this horde was outside the barrier surrounding the Fortress, allowing the Guardians to be able to hit them.
Nemo transmitted Lyra's Night Watch scout rifle into her hands and she begun taking shots at the Knight's with the Hive Boomer's.
Those were deadly as their range was far and blast radius was dangerous.
The warlock ran behind a barrier of light a titan put up and watched as a fellow warlock tossed a large fireball at a group of knights, completely destroying them.
"Haha!"
The warlock cheered his victor-
"AGH!"
Lyra looked away as the poor guy was incinerated along with his ghost by a powerful Hive spell casted by a powerful wizard. The Guardians have been upgraded since arriving in the Cardinal World.
But these were Sivert's Hive, and they too have been upgraded.
Lyra looked up at the sky as she begun reloading and watched as three jumpship's flew close and in front of the advancing Guardians.
Six Titans transmitted out from the jumpship's and they started to spread out.
Void Light engulfed the six Titans and mighty Sentinel Shields appeared on their right arms.
They held them forward and created a large barrier of Void Light.
"Push with us!"
They shouted in unison.
Lyra and several other Guardians ran behind them. Firing through the void barrier's as they pushed forward.
They tore through charging Hive with ease, Lyra quickly threw a Nova Bomb at a large Ogre who was pushing back one of the Titan's with its beam of Void energy.
Annihilating it.
"Thanks!"
The titan quickly expressed his gratitude and got back in formation with his brother's.
This push Lyra was a part of was one of the many.
On several sections of the beach there were Titan's doing the same. Leading the charge and protecting their fellow Guardians.
"Push into the barrier and destroy it! So then we can provide support from the air!"
Nimerah ordered through the comms.
Lyra's push was the first to walk through the barrier where they were fired upon by more Hive.
Mostly Knight's with Hive Boomer's and Wizard's.
Lyra prepared her void light so she could lob another Nova Bomb.
{CLICK!}
Her senses overloaded, her skill foresight warning her of danger and she looked at the Titan in front of her. He looked down to see what he stepped on.
"Move!" Lyra reached for him.
"AGH!"
A resonance spike quickly emerged from the ground, impaling him and killing him instantly before Lyra could pull him out of the way.
His ghost appeared to resurrect him but met the same fate by another spike that appeared from the ground.
It was waiting for it to appear..
Traps meant to kill Guardians.
"Back up! Hurry! There's traps everywhere!" The Warlock shouted but her companions were slow to react.
One by one either a Titan was destroyed by a trap or a Guardian following behind them was.
Lyra's push crumbled immediately and the survivors begun retreating.
"Commander! There are traps inside the barrier!" Lyra quickly reported.
"Understood! Titans! Hold your current positions until reinforcements can assist to help find and destroy the traps!"
Lyra's eyes widened, "Commander! If we stop our advance then the Hive will reinforce their positions greatly!"
It'd just be harder to secure the Fortress then it already is.
"I understand but until we can destroy the traps we'll take heavy casualties."
Lyra grit her teeth in frustration, she leaped forward and kept pushing deeper into the barrier.
"Lyra! What are you doing?!" Nemo asked in fear.
"My Unique Skill allows me to see the traps before they even trigger!" Lyra quickly replied.
Valkyrie holds Foresight and Universal sense.
Lyra can see all the traps and when they are about to activate.
"But you can't destroy the barrier alone!"
"The hell I can't!"
Lyra leaped forward, evading all the projectiles flying towards her position.
The resonance device that's powering that barrier is in the Fortress yes but Lyra's unique skill will allow her to easily bypass the defenses.
She could see everything..
Ha!
This was amazing!
She threw a quick Nova Bomb at a group of knight's blocking one of the entrances to the Fortress, destroying them instantly.
Lyra leaped high once more and into the Fortress, slaughtering any Hive inside with ease.
They could not fight her..
Not when she could see every attack coming before they could even attempt to perform it!
Knight's fell and hordes of Thrall's were burnt to a crisp by Lyra's Solar Light. She made her way deeper into the Fortress, evading more traps inside.
Eventually she made it to the resonance device powering the barrier and of course..
It was guarded by a large Knight. Possibly the commander of this Fortress.
But he would be no problem for Lyra.
She prepared to see how he would attack.
"Ngh!"
A piercing headache caught her off guard and her foresight begun to fade. Lyra has yet to master the skill and it drained her of energy..
She shook her head and looked back at the Knight.
He charged like any other knight would, raising his cleaver.
Lyra moved to dodge.
"Look out!" Nemo called out.
The Knight fainted his attack, quickly swinging instead of bringing his cleaver down.
Lyra didn't panic, she instead reached out her right hand and caught the cleaver.
The Knight was caught by surprise..
Using her skill Freya's Touch.
The Cleaver's power vanished and Lyra used her strength as an Enlightened to crush it.
The Knight took a step back, unable to believe what he just witnessed.
Such a fragile being crushed his mighty blade?
Lyra didn't give the knight anytime to think anymore, quickly delivering a palm strike that destroyed the Knight.
She turned her attention to the resonance device and summoned a dawnblade in her right hand.
She raised and brought it down.
"Behind you!"
An arm wrapped around Lyra's neck and she was pulled away from the device before she could destroy it.
The grip of her attacker was strong but they made a mistake by grabbing her..
She placed her left hand on their arm, utilizing her skill.
"Ugh!"
She was quickly released and Lyra turned around to look at her attacker.
A Greater Demon, he was on one knee.
Unable to use his skills.
Lyra coated her dawnblade with regular magical flames and swung it, cutting the head of the Greater Demon off.
It's body radiated resonance energy before exploding into a black tree that slowly dissolved.
Lyra closed her eyes and thanked fate for giving her such a skill.
Had she not have it.
Defeating a Greater Demon would not be so easy..
She turned back around and swung her dawnblade, destroying the resonance device and the barrier.
Nimerah's eyes slightly widened in surprise as the orange resonance barrier protecting the Fortress slowly vanished.
"Commander. Barrier is destroyed.."
The warlock Lyra reported through the comms.
Nimerah rolled her eyes, "Always love doing things by yourself don't you Lyra?"
"Just doing my job! Now hurry up and help me secure this fortress."
Nimerah chuckled lightly in response.
"You heard her. All ship's, destroy the Wizard's and Shrieker's."
The command was given.
Several Jumpship's moved down towards the ground, unleashing their arsenal of homing missiles that moved in to the destroy the Wizard's and Shrieker's.
"Target's hit."
The report came over, when Nimerah focused her eyes down at the Fortress's tower's.
She saw the results.
They were dead..
"Too easy.." she whispered with joy but also worry..
They still suffered casualties..
Who knows what other hell is deeper in the island.
"Hive are in full retreat commander."
Another report came over.
"Good. Ground forces, secure the Fortress, those in the Air. Watch over them, that Hive fleet may not be moving but keep your guard up. Their you're only rivals in the air."
"Understood Commander!"
"Lyra, since you managed to get past all those traps. I want you to help destroy them."
"Got it!"
She may be reckless but she was a good warlock in Nimerah's eyes.
Truly a student of Ikora Rey.
The room was quiet..
The Demon Peer Surtr sat on the black throne given to him by his master. Leaned back with his right leg over his left. This was his domain and as much as he'd love to go out and defend it.
He was to remain in the Pyramid Ship as it's overseer.
He stared down the High Elf Rhaegar who was standing in front of the war table. The mind behind Surtr's forces..
"Hm.."
Even though Rhaegar could feel Surtr's gaze, he paid no mind to it.
He didn't think they'd secure the beach fortress in such a short amount of time. There was something he didn't see..
Something that he didn't calculate.
He knew Nimerah would go for the beach Fortress because it protected the main path that led into the rest of the island and towards the Pyramid ship.
But to think they'd secure it in less than an hour? He planned to keep them there while he prepared to gather Scorn and Hive to attack them as soon as they secured the Fortress.
Rhaegar sighed, he'll have to monitor the next battle closely to find out how they took down the barrier so quickly.
Once he finds the cause, all he has to do is remove it from the board.
Rhaegar turned his focus back to the war table, where he could see several Jumpship's make way towards the Hive Fleet.
"Dreadnaught's Hold Position. Let them come to you. Tear through their air forces." He commanded.
Rhaegar turned his eyes back to the beach Fortress.
"Hive, Advance."
Another command given and one that was quickly being fulfilled.
Rhaegar's beautiful red coral eyes stared down at the war table.
Eagerly awaiting the battle to come..
The traps were destroyed, and the full force of the Guardians were able to proceed and secure the Fortress.
With this, they secured a foothold on the island.
They can proceed deeper into the island now.
"Titan's lead the push but be cautious. There may be more traps." Nimerah said over the comms.
Hearing that, several Titan's made way towards the other side of the Fortress and waited until their brothers and sisters were behind them.
Once they were, they slowly advanced through the dark canyon. Ready to summon their shields once they encountered enemies.
But they all stopped as soon as they left the Fortress..
"Hey! You going to move?"
A Hunter shouted at them.
"Shh!"
The titans shut him up..
The ground..
It was vibrating.
Something was coming!
"Shield wall!" A Titan shouted.
Void Light enveloped them all in unison and Sentinel Shields were formed. Large walls of Void Light formed.
The Guardians behind the Titans prepared their Light and weapons.
Around the Canyon corner straight ahead was a large shadow.
Soon a massive wave of Thrall's rushed down at fast speeds. Led by Knight's with Cleaver's and shields.
Walking slowly and accompanying the incoming horde were several large Darkblade's.
"Open fire!"
Gun fire erupted and was soon joined in by explosions.
Bullets were flying in one direction and one direction only, accompanied by several Nova Bombs and Hammers of Sol along with Arc Staff's hurled by Hunter's.
But not even all that together slowed down the charging Hive. The shields they possessed protected them from most of the light based attacks thrown at them.
They charged with intent to keep charging until their enemies were dead. The air around this incoming horde.
It was full of bloodlust!
"Here they come!"
The two sides clashed, their shields crashing against each other.
"AGH!"
"SHIT!"
The titans were being pushed back but they held their ground.
Cleaver's crashed against their shields along with the sharp claws of thousands of thralls.
"PUSH!"
The battlefield became silent for a long.. second.
Together the Titans pushed their attacker's back with their shields, allowing the Guardians behind them to get clearer shot's.
Heavy weapons were quickly utilized such as Rocket Launchers and Machine Guns.
They destroyed a portion of the charging Hive but they just kept coming!
There was no end to them!
No matter how many Nova Bombs were thrown, no matter how many Heavy Weapons were used.
They just kept coming!
"AGH! I CAN'T HOLD…. ANY LONGER-"
A Titan collapsed and his void light dispersed. He was quickly swarmed by Thralls who tore him apart before he could even do anything.
"AGHHHHH! AHHHHH!"
His horrific dying screams were heard throughout the battlefield and the comms. His ghost was cut in half by a Hive Knight.
A wall has fallen..
Now the Hive were able push through.
"SHIT!"
"WE NEED AIR SUPPORT!"
Several Guardians kept repeating over the comms but not a single jumpship was able to assist.
Taking to the skies were several Greater Demons accompanied by Tombships. Intercepting the forces in the air..
To make matter's worst, the Dreadnaught's were firing upon the fleet as well. Using their long range weaponry to their advantage.
"PUSH!"
"AHHHHHH!"
Several Guardians fell, no matter how many Hive they killed! More just kept coming!
Using their overwhelming numbers to their advantage!
The ground shook violently, the slow but heavily armored and deadly Dark Blades entered the fray.
One swung his mighty Axe, taking out several Guardians and their ghosts.
"Wrecker's! Push!" the mighty titan Rance ordered his fireteam but not even they could gain any ground.
Many Titans put up Ward of Dawn's for their fellow Guardians but they were just destroyed as soon as they were put up.
Wells of Radiance barely helped as well thanks to the Darkblade's who made it their priority to eliminate any support for the Guardians.
Every minute Vanguard forces were pushed back towards the Fortress and if the Hive reclaimed it then this battle was lost!
Nimerah stood silently in the bridge of the HELM…
Unable to say anything..
The comms were buzzing with panic and fear. There was a full scale war by the beach Fortress.
Their forces in the air were also going through hell.
Not a single demon was allowing a Jumpship to support the ground forces.
A beautiful counterattack in her eyes..
She had to admit..
Nimerah chuckled and shook her head.
"Take command up here Aurora." She ordered her pupil who gave a nod in response.
Nimerah quickly departed for the battlefield.
It was a slaughter..
Sivert and his loyal follower's watched it all with amazement and disbelief.
The thing is…
Is that this wasn't even Rhaegar going all out with the forces under his command.
Just a small portion…
The Vanguard was insanely outnumbered, something they did not prepare for. At least not for number's reaching this scale!
Sivert's eyes shifted down to Cabal in his throne room.
He can feel their desire…
Xivu Arath destroyed their homeworld and while Sivert may have revived it. The Cabal never got to get revenge on the Hive..
He raised his right hand and gently caressed his chin. Pondering about what to do..
"Dominus!"
The Hunter Kryze stepped out from her row and turned to look at Sivert.
The demons looked at her with hostile eyes, she dare speak without permission?!
"I ask that you allow Siege Dancer's to participate in this trial. We may not be a part of the Vanguard but we are still Guardians. To see our brother's and sister's in dire need of assistance.. we can't help but want to lend a hand." she boldly stated.
Sivert could see the determination in her eyes, even if her helmet covered her face…
He smirked.
Beautiful..
"Very well."
Sivert stood up from his throne.
"Bracus Kryze, you will lead the Siege Dancer's and accompany the Vanguard."
The Hunter bowed, "Thank you Dominus."
Sivert turned to look at the other Cabal in his ranks.
"Don't think I forgot about you all. I promised to reward you with glory and valor. You will find it here! My Red Legion, My Imperial Cabal. Together you will fight alongside the Guardians! You will unleash your fury!"
Sivert turned to his left and at his Cabal Commander's.
"Valus Orion, lead my Red Legion! Valus Cau'tor! Lead the Imperial Cabal! Work with the Guardians and together may you all grow fat in power and glory!" Sivert ordered with a mighty and commanding tone.
The throne room erupted into cheer's.
"You will take Three command carriers, two carrier's and six warships! No more!" Sivert ordered and added on.
"Choose your best warrior's! Now Go! You are Cabal! You wait for nothing!"
As soon as he finished, the Cabal soldier's in the Throne room started flocking out. They were unable to hold their excitement in for the battles to come!
Sivert turned towards Eramis, "I assume you want to go as well?" he asked the old kell.
The Witness has defiled her house..
Ruined those she cared for..
They became Scorn and knowing that there's Scorn on that island..
Eramis can't help but want to go over there and unleash her pent up hatred on them.
"I do…"
Sivert gave a small nod.
"Take five Ketch's. No more."
Eramis quickly bowed, "Thank you.."
She departed as well with her trusted lieutenants.
Sivert sat back down on his throne and watched the door's close. There were no more Cabal in the room other than Otzot and her Flayer's.
All the Eliksni in the room also left with only Sivert's Barons and Baroness's remaining.
"You go too." He urged them.
The Barons and Baroness's obeyed, departing the Throne room as well.
"Otzot.. monitor the Cabal and Eliksni, see how they perform and send me a report."
Sivert only allowed the Cabal and Eliksni to enter the fight because he was curious on how they changed.
Now that they have magicules in their bodies which strengthened them slightly. He also wanted to see how those with skill's performed and what kind of skills they got.
Otzot herself got a unique skill, Technocrat. It has amazing analyzation abilities that would help in her report.
"It will be done Dominus.."
With that over with, Sivert looked back at the projection.
"AHH! AHHH!"
The war continued on, several Guardians begun retreating towards the Fortress. Some out of fear, other's out of exhaustion.
Other's to use its High Ground to their advantage.
There was still hundreds of Guardians on the ground though, they were in a full on war with the charging Hive.
The Titan Sigrun being one of them, she and her fireteam member Kaguya. Both loyal to Sivert were sticking together. For they have fought these hive before and know how dangerous they are.
Utilizing each other's abilities to support each other.
Kaguya provided healing and empowerment while Sigrun provided defense.
She swung her mighty flaming maul down onto the ground. Shattering it and sending a large wave of solar light that took out hundreds of thralls.
But they just kept coming…
Still, she would keep on fighting until she draws her last breath!
Sigrun turned her attention to a Darkblade approaching a distracted fireteam in their ward of dawn.
With hordes and hordes of thralls climbing and clawing on your only defense. It's really hard to notice the big guy sneaking up.
Sigrun gripped tightly onto her maul, she started to spin around swiftly. Creating momentum..
Once she hit her limit, the Titan let her Maul go and flying. Watching it fly towards the Darkblade and strike him in the face.
Completely destroying the large Hive..
The Maul then exploded, creating a storm of Solar Light that incinerated all nearby Hive. Including those trapping the fireteam in their ward of dawn.
Sigrun turned her attention to other fight's in the battlefield..
There was… so many.
And Sigrun was coming close to her limit..
That was her fourth Darkblade she killed and to see more just appear angered her..
A Knight seeing she was weaponless charged at the Titan, raising its cleaver.
"Argh!"
Sigrun threw a deadly punch with all her anger in it that destroyed the Knight.
She looked back at the charging Hive..
Sigrun admired Sivert..
He was strong, smart and kind..
But sometimes…
He can be a real prick!
Creating a place like this! Is one of those times!
"I need to recharge.." Sigrun told Kaguya as she pulled out her auto rifle.
"Understood."
The warlock calmly replied.
She held a glaive in her right hand, she created another empowering rift for Sigrun before stepping forward to switch places with her companion.
Stasis enveloped Kaguya's glaive and she threw it towards incoming thralls. The glaive spun around as it soared towards the Hive.
It cut them all down and shot out Stasis orbs every time it killed something. These orbs tracked towards nearby Hive attacking other Guardians.
Freezing them instantly, allowing the Guardians fighting them to finish the fight with ease.
The glaive continued doing this for a whole minute before returning back to Kaguya's hand.
"I wish I had a weapon like that.." Sigrun mumbled in jealously.
"Perhaps you might acquire one when we defeat the demon in that Pyramid ship. Sivert said we would all be rewarded depending on how we performed."
Hearing that, Sigrun acquired a lot of energy. She was motivated now!
The hopes of getting such a weapon like Kaguya's! It was enough to fuel her!
Using her acquired energy, she hopped back into the fight and charged towards the hive with Kaguya.
Kaguya cut down several knight's and thralls while Sigrun took care of the larger Hive such as the Ogre's and Darkblade's.
However Kaguya stopped after cutting down another Knight..
Her senses overloaded..
She felt a familiar sensation in the air…
Magicules were being drawn…
Magic was being used..
Not just any magic.
Nuclear Magic!
She looked up and saw a lone jumpship flying towards the battlefield. Someone stood on top of it..
Nimerah.
She spun her staff and jumped off her ship.
"Nuclear Strike Magic.."
The warlock whispered, she floated in the air and closed her eyes. She let go of her staff and it floated next to her.
"Look!"
"It's the Commander!"
Everyone spotted her.
She brought both her hands together and up to her chest.
An orange energy formed around her and in front of her.
She opened her eyes, they were glowing orange.
Nimerah stretched out her arms and aimed her palms at the large Hive army.
Orange magic runes appeared in front of her palms.
Forming a circle..
"Nuclear Cannon!"
A powerful blast of Nuclear power shot out from the two magic runes and towards the Hive army.
The result was Catastrophic.
A large Nuclear blast erupted in the Hive army and made way towards them.
And only them..
It was focused and precise. Had Nimerah fired a regular Nuclear cannon. Then she would've taken the Hive and everyone here with them to hell..
The blast was large, blinding everyone in close proximity. It even razed the canyon, created a large open space..
The blast continued on for several minutes before dissipating.
Nimerah grabbed her staff and floated down onto the ground and in front of her Guardians.
"Show off…"
The warlock Lyra whispered while everyone cheered the destruction of the Hive army.
Nimerah took a quick breather, using Nuclear Magic can be exhausting.
The cheer's stopped..
Nimerah's eyes widened and she looked up at the sky. The battle in the sky was still going but that's not what she was looking at.
Three Arch Demon's appeared in the air, looking down at the Guardians.
They held out their hands and Nimerah's hands widened even further..
"TITAN'S! WARD OF DAWN'S NOW!"
A loud, vicious command. Filled with fear..
All the Titans obeyed and hundreds of Ward of Dawn's were created.
The three Arch Demon's finished gathering their magicules..
And they fired three Nuclear Cannon's.
Nimerah stabbed her staff onto the ground and created a barrier to protect herself.
The Nuclear projectiles crashed against the Ward of Dawn's, forming a chain reaction of Nuclear Power..
The result was even more destructive than Nimerah's own magic.
The blast razed the entire area and even took most of the Fortress with it. It created a large mushroom cloud that blocked vision for those in the air.
But it soon cleared out along with the blast..
There was still several Ward of Dawn's standing but some did not last long enough..
Nimerah dropped to her knees, looking down at her armor that was still in good condition.
Just it now had some freaky battle scars on it..
The warlock's face was slightly burnt as well but her ghost handled that, and took care of any other injuries she had.
Nimerah looked back up at the sky, the arch demons were gone.
She cursed them mentally as she stood up. She turned around, finding the Guardians in a poor state.
The Titans were exhausted..
Worn out..
The Guardian's shields were broken..
But thankfully.. the Hive were dealt wit-
"!"
Nimerah shot her head back towards the once canyon. Now a scorching wasteland..
She heard a loud roar..
A Hive signal..
"Your shitting me!"
There was more?!
Thousands of more thralls ran over the hills and towards the Guardians, accompanied by Knights and more Darkblade's.
Just how big was the Hive force under Sivert's command!?
This was insane.
The warlock gripped tightly onto her staff, she and the other's prepared to fight. Despite their exhaustion..
"You look like you're having some trouble there commander."
A feminine voice said over the comms, just as they finished.
Several mini rockets soared through the air and over the Guardians. Striking the Hive advance and halting them for a brief moment due to the extreme blast radius those mini rockets caused.
Nimerah quickly turned around and spotted a Guardian hovering in the air thanks to the jumpjet fitting with her advanced armor.
"Kryze…"
She recognized her immediately due to the eagle painted on the side of her helmet.
Several more guardians arrived, those who followed Sivert.
"We're here to help!" Kryze stated as she gave Nimerah a thumbs up.
Soon after, a bright white light appeared in the sky behind the Vanguard fleet and next to the HELM.
It grew larger before disappearing, Three large Cabal Command Carriers appeared after. With two carriers and a few warships accompanying it.
Nimerah's eyes widened in joy and relief.
"Reinforcements have arrived!" Kryze added on with a small giggle.
Several Cabal Drop pods shot out from the Command Carrier and towards the Guardians.
They landed in front of the Guardians and mighty Cabal Warrior's revealed themselves.
Large Centurions and Colossi with squads of Legionaries accompanying them.
They quickly clashed with the Hive on the battlefield. Unleashing years' worth of hatred and fury on them.
Nimerah smiled and sighed in relief.
"Never thought I'd be glad to see Cabal reinforcement's." she said as Kryze landed next to her.
"Victory comes in many forms Commander! Now let's go! I've ordered a Cabal Bracus to establish a base here for us. To serve as a foothold, we just have to take out those Hive. The fleet will help the Vanguard fleet but the battle in the skies will be long. Those Hive Dreadnaught's are pretty resilient."
"Indeed.." Nimerah quietly replied while she looked up.
The Cabal warships begun advancing on the Hive fleet and Interceptor's flooded the skies.
Now there was a full on war in the sky..
Nimerah looked back down and joined in the fight, several Guardians followed behind her and they entered the battlefield.
Fighting alongside Cabal…
It was.. amusing to Nimerah and many other's..
But working together like this.. it showed how strong they can be.
The Hive were quickly pushed back and soon entered into a full retreat.
Nimerah and the Cabal didn't chase them though, they didn't know what else lurks deeper in the island.
With victory secured on the beach head. They waited until a small command center was built before planning their next attack.
This allowed Nimerah and the other's to rest for a full on day as the battle in the skies continued on.
The Cabal Fleet was slowly pushing the Hive back but not enough to fully control the skies.
Rhaegar looked down at the war table in slight surprise. It seems Sivert has allowed some Cabal to participate in the test.
It made sense as well.. the Cabal had a bone to pick with the Hive.
The High Elf crossed his arms..
This made things a little difficult.. especially when the Cabal were establishing multiple fronts on the island.
Meaning Rhaegar had to defend multiple fronts or else face Surtr's Pyramid Ship being surrounded and attacked from all sides.
Thankfully the Arch Demon commander's surrounding the island can help with defending these front's.
They'll take care of those fronts while Rhaegar keeps most of his focus on the Guardians.
"Hm?"
New ship's appeared on the war table. Detected by the Pyramid's radar..
Ketch's…
They were attacking from the other side of the island. Three ketch's left to attack the Hive fleet from the other side while two stayed to establish another foothold on the island.
Curses..
Sivert made Rhaegar's job harder but he didn't mind. It gave Rhaegar the opportunity to show how useful he is to Sivert.
And why he is worthy of being his advisor and second in command.
Rhaegar turned his gaze back to the Guardians..
They built a command center with the help of the Cabal..
"Let's see how Shaxx's Control in the Crucible helped them keep territory."
If they were going to establish territory, then they better be ready to defend it.
"Scorn, Advance." Rhaegar gave the command..
The warlock looked out through the command center window and at the two large Cabal Carrier's landing on the two large landing pads quickly constructed for them.
The Cabal were really fast builder's..
They constructed a small firebase within a day, it was built on top of the old Hive Fortress and on the beach as well.
It had 20 meter walls surrounding it with one gate at the front of the base.
Nimerah watched as battalions of Cabal marched out of the carrier's with Goliath Tanks following behind.
A large set of reinforcements that she was very grateful for. Of course, the Cabal didn't come here to help them.
Kind of.. they mostly came because they had beef with the Hive which Nimerah is very grateful for.
"Alright. I'm here."
The Hunter Lethaea said as she entered the war room.
A large room with a large war table in the middle.
Nimerah turned around and watched the hunter take off her helmet.
"Aurora told me you played a big role in keeping the Vanguard fleet alive long enough until the Cabal came to help."
Lethaea shrugged, "I didn't do much other than take out a bunch of Tombship's and Greater demons. But there's still more up there and that Dreadnaught, it serves as-"
"The Hive's command ship? Yes I know. Which is why I'm entrusting you with the task to infiltrate the Dreadnaught and to kill the Hive Leader. Kryze tells me that the Cabal have already started boarding it and are slowly advancing inside."
Lethaea smiled happily at that mention of that. "Great! Make's my job easier. Can I take my sexy warlock Lyra with me?"
Nimerah rolled her eyes, "No. I need Lyra here on the ground and besides. Aren't you in love with Sivert?"
"Who says I can't love both?" Lethaea asked in response.
"No one I guess.. Hmph." Nimerah crossed her arms.
"You can take Kaguya and Sigrun with you though."
"Those two? Alright sure! I've been meaning to get with them and invite them to Sivert's bed for nice little or-"
"Don't finish…"
Nimerah didn't want to hear such a word be spoken in her war room..
"Fufu.. If your jealous you can join in to. Sivert would love an Elf like you. I bet you'd make a sexy face as he pounded you."
"Shut up.. were in the middle of a war and your mind is still full of nothing but sexual intercourse!"
Lethaea giggled a little. "Yup! Sex with my beloved Sivert and other women. I guess I just have a fetish of watching him ravage other women. Makes him look sexier and makes me want to go multiple rounds with him."
Nimerah sighed in annoyance.
"Alright stop.. just go and infiltrate the Dreadnaught already. And don't try to seduce Kaguya and Sigrun or I will ban you from the tower!"
"Yeah, Yea.. you buzzkill." Lethaea placed her helmet back on.
"It'll just be a quick threesome I promise!"
"Silence you lewd woman!" Nimerah shouted, reaching for a data pad on the war table and throwing it at Lethaea.
She dodged and giggled before leaving the war room.
"How in the hell did she become a Lightbearer…"
Stuff like that made Nimerah question the Traveler and the Light..
The Titan Rance looked up at the Legionary that stared down at him. He then looked down and at the warbeast that sat next to it.
"Got a name?" he asked.
He and his fireteam were hanging out with a few Legionaries, together they were on the front section of the bases walls.
Looking towards where the Canyon once was..
Though it was now a wasteland, it was still hard to see what could come due to the large craters and hills..
Anything could hide there..
"Thrall Slayer." The Legionary answered and gave the warbeast a small pat on the head.
It let out a small satisfied purr.
"Huh…"
Sounds more like a title but Rance didn't question it.
Warbeasts were pretty cool, at least when they're not trying to tear you apart.
"Is it possible to have my own?" Rance asked out of curiosity.
He could feel his fireteam's gaze on him.
Confusion and curiosity..
Because if he could get one, then they would want one.
"Yes, but you will have to train it yourself."
"No problem."
A Warbeasts nose was strong, stronger than a dog's or wolf. Even a dire wolf couldn't match that.
Their claws and teeth were also sharper then a dire wolves. The only thing they lacked in was their size.
But perhaps if Rance named one, it could grow bigger?
"Where can I get it?"
The Legionary turned to his right and pointed at the red legion carrier on the left landing pad.
"Our Bracus will give you a young one. If you best him in battle."
Rance smirked, "No problem." He said again.
The Legionary looked back at him and laughed a little. Soon the other's begun laughing as well..
As for why well they had no idea..
They just laughed.
"Hm?"
Rance eventually stopped though, the warbeast in front of him started acting strange.
Sniffing the air before growling.
The Legionary also noticed it and immediately knew what it was. He watched the warbeast look towards the left and towards the wasteland.
He spotted a small purple light in the distance…
It grew bigger before growing smaller..
As it if was heading his wa-
"Shit!"
Rance backed up as the helmet of the Legionary came flying off, Cabal Oil spurred everywhere and even onto his armor.
The Legionary collapsed face first and it's body fell off the wall.
Rance and the other's immediately took cover, knowing it was a sniper.
"Scorn! On the Horizon!" The Hunter Link yelled.
The empty and quiet wasteland was now being filled with charging Scorn that were summoned out of nowhere, they quickly advanced as they fired towards the firebase.
"Incoming!"
Rance shouted, pointing at the sky.
Several rockets flew towards the firebase and begun raining hell on it. The titan managed to create a ward of dawn, protecting his fireteam and the nearby Legionaries.
Several other Legionaries were killed though.
"We have Walker's back there! A lot of them!"
"Watch in the sky! We have demons incoming!"
Within seconds the battle began, Cabal ground troops took to the high walls to rain hell down on the Scorn.
Interceptor's took the air to attack the flying Greater Demons but they were no match.
A single Greater Demon swung his trident, easily cutting a Interceptor in half before moving on to destroy other's.
Some Greater Demon's moved towards the ground and into the base itself.
Taking on Cabal troops effortlessly.
This was the first time the Cabal got to fight Demon's and the results were not good for them.
Even with Guardians swarming in to help there was still several casualties.
"Defend the walls!" The warlock Nimerah ordered.
If they fell then that massive Scorn army charging will pose a greater threat then they are.
As they drew near the walls they started to climb up.
Mostly Screeb's did which was a scary sight!
"Back up!"
"SHOOT IT!"
A Screeb climbed over the wall and exploded, taking two warlocks with it.
Nimerah was going to make Shaxx teach these guys how to shoot because they had horrible aim!
To make matter's worse, the walker's in the distance were providing artillery support.
Raining hell on the walls, preventing Guardians and Cabal from being able to take out the Scorn advancing on the base.
Nimerah took a quick look at the sky, the Cabal Fleet was engaging the Hive Fleet…
Even if one warship broke off, the Cabal would be pushed back. So relying on them was a no go.
"Tch."
Curse this and whoever was commanding these forces of Darkness. They were testing the Guardians repeatedly.
How they attack…
How they defend…
This was a test to hold territory.
Nimerah sighed and looked back down. She tapped her staff onto the ground, Void Light begun coursing through it and the warlock aimed her staff at the Demon's in the sky.
She fired three Nova Bombs that split up into several smaller Nova Bombs. Striking and destroying several of the Demons.
She then turned her attention to the battle on the ground, she tapped her staff on the ground once more.
Arc Light flowed through it and Nimerah summoned hundreds of Arc Soul's, directing them to several positions on the battlefield.
Providing support for the ground forces.
The warlock clenched her left hand into a fist, Solar Light enveloped it and she threw a solar grenade towards the wall the Scorn were climbing up on.
It exploded, creating a large ball of fire that scorched nearby Scorn. It spewed out balls of fire that exploded into more Balls of fire.
It was chain reaction that spread throughout the wall and down onto the ground. Forcing the Scorn to halt their advance on the wall.
But of course they still shot at the Guardians and Cabal on it.
However this allowed attention to focus on the base and the Greater Demons who flew in.
They used their magic and Darkness to slaughter Cabal and Guardians who could not match against their power.
Nimerah leaped high into the air and dove straight down towards the closest Greater Demon.
A Red Greater Demon wreaking havoc, easily slaying even the mightiest of Legionaries.
She brought her staff down, coating it with her aura and fire magic, she landed on the demon, impaling it on the back of the head with her staff. Swiftly killing it.
She then threw her staff like a javelin at another Greater Demon. Impaling it and killing that one as well.
The Warlock leaped towards her staff and picked it up before engaging other demons.
Using her immense strength and speed as a Saint. She moved quickly through the battlefield.
Slaughtering all demons in her sight.
She was an unstoppable storm and the Cabal that watched her begun to respect her.
Giving them commands was going to be a lot easier for Nimerah.
Rance punched the Scorn Chieftain in the face, destroying the helmet and it's head.
"Ugh…"
He checked on his fireteam, they finished off the remaining Scorn on the wall and looked towards the battlefield in the base.
They saw their Commander swiftly kill Greater Demons..
"Damn she's good!" a Titan shouted.
That was their Commander alright!
"Don't get to excited boys! We still got Scorn down there firing at us. Not to mention those walker- OOOOOOMMPH!"
Rance was struck by a large Void Projectile, sending him flying.
"Rance!" Riv shouted.
The fireteam immediately turned their attention towards the one responsible for hurting their leader.
"What…"
Riv's anger was replaced with fear and confusion at what he was looking at.
There was two large hulking figures walking slowly towards the base, accompanied by more Scorn.
They carried large Pyramid Tech Scythes and looked monstrous.
Just… what kind of monster's were those?!
Nimerah impaled the last Greater Demon in the base with her spear and watched it's body explode into resonance energy.
She looked around as she took a quick breather.
Yup.
The last one..
All that's left is the Scorn outside.
Several Cabal troops ran towards the walls to support the Guardians.
"AGHHHH!"
There was a loud scream and Nimerah looked up in the air, watching as the Titan Rance flew and crashed into a Interceptor that just took off..
Destroying it..
"What?..."
She looked back down at the wall. The Guardians on it begun retreating off of it out of fear.
"What are you doing! Don't retre-"
Nimerah's words fell silent, the two large gates that kept the Scorn on the other side blew open.
A large wave of Void Energy flew out and took out several Cabal near the gate.
The wall soon crumbled and fell.
Nimerah grit her teeth in frustration.
"Tormentor's!"
"Tormentor's!"
Cabal Legionaries begun shouting.
Tormentor's..?
Nimerah had no idea what they were talking about and ignored it. She prepared her Void Light.
A Nova Bomb would do good in killing all those Scorn entering the base.
But she stopped before she could fully charge her void Light..
Two large hulking figures entered along with the incoming Scorn.
They towered over even the larger Cabal on the battlefield.
As soon as they entered they begun wreaking havoc, slaughtering Cabal and Guardians all while both unleashed hell on the Tormentor's.
But nothing affected them..
Nimerah gripped tightly onto her staff and leapt towards the two Tormentor's.
They quickly spotted her heading their way and both lobbed Void disc shaped projectiles towards her.
They seemed to only brush off her though due to the multi-layered barrier she put up around her body.
Nimerah dove straight down towards the two Tormentor's, stabbing her staff into the ground.
Creating a powerful shockwave of Arc Light as she landed.
It pushed the two Tormentor's back a little but didn't harm them.
Nimerah moved quickly and thrust her staff forward to impale the Tormentor.
"!?"
The staff crashed against the Tormentor but didn't penetrate it…
Nimerah looked up as it laughed at her.
She jumped back, evading the Tormentor's large Pyramid Tech Scythe that could've destroyed her barrier's..
"Sivert…" Nimerah whispered as she landed safely onto the ground.
"Just what kind of monster's are these…" she added on.
"Shoulder's! Shoulder's!"
A Cabal Centurion started shouting, Nimerah's blue eyes focused on the shoulders of the Tormentor's..
The Cabal were aiming only for the shoulder's and she quickly found out why, a Centurion managed to destroy the left shoulder of one before meeting his end.
Harming one of the Tormentor's..
The shoulders were their weak points!
Nimerah charged up her Void Light once again and quickly threw a Nova Bomb towards the Tormentor.
Only the Nova Bomb was focused and reshaped into a spear that struck the Tormentor's right shoulder.
Nimerah watched as the Tormentor's body begun surging with resonance energy, it changed its position and carried it's large Scythe with both hands.
It started sprinting towards her.
"Looks like I made him angry…"
She stepped back, evading the Tormentor's scythe.
It continued to ruthlessly attack her but Nimerah kept evading it's attacks.
They were strong and quite fast but not enough to keep up Nimerah.
She examined the Tormentor's body as she evaded..
It's chest was glowing orange..
Is that it's new weak point?
She tested it out and evaded the Tormentor's last attack before thrusting her staff forward.
This time, she impaled the Tormentor.
Arc Light flowed through Nimerah's staff and into the Tormentor, overloading it with the Arc Light and killing it.
Nimerah watched it's body explode with a mix of Arc Light and resonance energy.
She quickly turned her attention to the other Tormentor that was engaged in a fight the warlock Lyra.
"Hah!"
She delivered several palm strikes to the Tormentor, pushing it back.
Lyra jumped up and brought her right leg down, coating it with her Arc Light and aura.
A battlewill technique she created.
She delivered a deadly sharp kick to the Tormentor's left shoulder and quickly turned around mid-air to strike the other shoulder.
It's shoulder's exploded and it entered the same state as the one Nimerah just killed.
Lyra quickly summoned a Dawnblade and thrust it deep into the Tormentor's chest..
Killing it.
It's body exploded just like the other one..
Sadly, there was still the Scorn to deal with.
The way they fought, they were advanced..
Trained..
They fought too perfectly..
Giving even some of the toughest Guardians trouble.
They knew how Guardians fought..
Nimerah would investigate later, after the battle, she and Lyra jumped into the battle to assist the other's.
Together they slaughtered the Scorn, slowly pushing them out of the base but this push stopped once they were out.
The walker's in the distance were providing Artillery support and they were doing serious damage to both Cabal and Lightbearer's.
So Nimerah turned her attention towards them, preparing to fire a powerful fire spell at them.
"Look!"
Lighting struck down from the sky, completely annihilating the walker's. A roar followed after and a large Dragon flew down.
Astraea!
She and her Dragon Lord The Count were accompanied by four Wyvern's. The group turned around and unleashed hell on the Scorn army.
Annihilating them all with Fire and Lighting.
The Cabal and Guardians cheered.
"Let me know when you need assistance again Commander!" The Hunter shouted over the comms.
"I will.. didn't think you were able to come down. That's all.." Nimerah responded.
She watched Astraea fly back up towards the sky and towards the battle between the Cabal and Hive fleet.
"We dealt with the intercepting Greater Demon's that prevented us from coming down. Were still getting shot at but we can lend air support whenever you need it!"
Nimerah smiled in satisfaction.
"Good. I will be expecting it."
The Count let out another mighty roar as it approached the continuing battle in the sky.
Nimerah looked back down and took a deep.. relaxing breath.
There was no more Scorn attacking.
Once they repair the walls they could finally advance.
Rhaegar let out a tired sigh.
"They held out for long.."
The Demon Peer Surtr muttered. His two Arch Demon subordinates nodded in agreement.
"Yes, but they did not do well. They allowed the walls to be destroyed, allowing Scorn to gain ground on their territory." Rhaegar replied with a disappointed expression.
If you're going to defend territory..
You need to hold all the territory you took.
You give up ground to your attacker's.. then you're asking for a death wish.
Had Rhaegar deployed an arch demon or two.. then they definitely would've lost their base, but with the Cabal attacking from all around the Island, he had to send all the Arch Demons to defend those front's.
But he wasn't worried, the Cabal didn't stand a chance against an Arch Demon.
Not yet at least.
So soon those Cabal forces will be destroyed and Rhaegar can move the Arch Demon's to attack the Guardians head on..
"They will be advancing now.." Rhaegar whispered.
The first three battles he used overwhelming force..
Time to use another tactic one that will put Nimerah's skills as a leader to the test.
End!
