Chapter 408 War For Astor Kingdom X
The soldiers and adventurers of Astor Kingdom and elites of Holy Church find themselves trembling in fear, the gaze of Demon filled with malice. The only thing that sooth them is the fact he was badly injured, with parts of his body still burning from the immaterial flame from the Hymn of Holy Light.
"He is badly injured! And he lose almost all of his monsters here! We can defeat him!" General Pharrell yelled, boosting the morale of his forces.
However, Alros merely scoffed, eying his enemy with disdain.
"Who said this is the only forces I have?" snapping his finger, a portal appear as monsters appear out of thin air, his elite forces arriving and ready to destroy his enemy.

When the demon snapped his finger, King Eskal could not help but feel like they would be in grave danger. Seconds later, his intuition is proven correct when portal appear and a new army of monsters appear.
What is even worse aside from the appearance of the new armies were the fact even the weakest are B-rank monsters, on par with some captain and commanders while being way stronger than the regular soldiers and conscripts.
"Kill them." the demon ordered, eying them with hatred before he turned towards the Holy Church force.
In seconds, two monsters, an Ararchne and Lamia charged towards the paladin and knight, quickly hitting them and sending them flying away.
This started the charge of the monsters, as the survivors of the previous hordes converged with them, launching a new assault on his soldiers.
To make matter worse, they are outside with the entirety of the soldiers of the Kingdom, with the exception of some conscripts and adventurers keeping an eye on the various fortresses and walled cities.
If they lose right here, the entire Kingdom is doomed. Realizing this, the King raised his sword and let out a thundering battle cry.
"Soldiers of Astor Kingdom! Stand tall, for if we fall here, the monsters will destroy your family and the Kingdom! Fight to the last breath, and let us end this threat!" the battle cry ignited the spirit of the soldiers and adventurers, all of which charged towards the monsters.
Despite that, the monsters remained calm, not moving as if expecting something. Suddenly, heat can be felt as the temperature rise, causing the soldiers to feel like they were cooked.
"Father, what should we do?" his eldest son asked, a hint of worry in his eyes.
"You will run." the King said as he took out his sword.
"I will fight for my Kingdom to my final breath." Runard seem to want to say something but merely sighed as he make his escape.
The King looked to his side where the captain of his Royal Guard remained, along with the rest of the Royal Guard, save for those still at the Palace and one that followed Runard flee from the battlefield.
"Are you ready captain? To charge to our doom?" the King asked. In response, the Captain pulled out his sword, no words need to be spoken anymore.
With a smile on his face, the King charged to the front, yelling battle cries as he cut off any monsters that get close to him.
All while the Archdemon watched from above, looking at the man with some intrigue.

"What a good leader." Alros said, watching the King leading the final charge. The older man even worked with the other man, the captain of the Royal Guard he presumed in killing one of his A-rank monsters with ease.
"It's time for me to give him a worthy death." he soon fly towards the two men, which they barely dodged as he perform a heroic pose, a knee on the ground with a single fist. He then stood up, ignoring the burnt on his body.
"So, you are the King of this nation." Alros exclaimed, looking at the King calmly as he stalked like a predator cornering it's prey. Your journey continues on empire
The King remained steadfast, along with his Royal Guards as they stare at the demon, all while holding their ground from the vast demonic energy he exude.
"Well then, I have never killed a King before. Let see if it would be much of a difference in killing a regular A-ranker."
Saying his final pieces, Alros charged at the King, as he and the Royal Guards soon engaged with the Archdemon of Lust, one that will decide their survival.
