"Brother, it seems that the Empire Knights seemed to be prepared for something. They are gathering at the borders."Hagan ran up the stone wall with beads of perspiration trickling down from his forehead.
He looked at Ragu, who was standing on the wall.
Ragu, seeing Hagan's expression, sneered"Oh! It seems the stupid humans had enough."
"Don't be anxious. Send down the order to transport bows and arrows of our tribes up to the city walls. Have the best warriors on the walls."
There are many tribes at the centre of the Demon continent who oversee the thing.
Ragu was the head of the minotaur tribe and along with others was in charge of guarding here.
A small size tribe had around 3000 demons and large size tribes had around 50000 warriors disregarding the young.
Unlike human troops which mostly consist of males, in demons females could fight equally well as males.
"Ragu."An elder demon walked up to the wall and spoke.
"Miasma would keep them at bay for now. So focus on defence first. We will tire them first and when they are on their last straw, we will attack with all our might and sweep away all the enemies."
"Yes, Uncle. I am also thinking the same."
"Let them have the miasma taste of the miasma."
The elder demon nodded and smiled seeing Ragu being composed. His fear of some of these hot-blooded youths charging down to the enemy camp was unfounded.
As they stared at the dark mist, showers of rain splashed over them.
At first, they did not think about it much but after a few moments their bodies started to itch and burn.
"Something is wrong," Ragu spoke with a deep frown.
"Ragu...."The elder screamed in panic as he stared forward.
The dark miasma slowly started to disperse giving them a clear view of the front.
"Get ready for battle," Ragu shouted as he heard slight fluctuations.
Thousands of archers placed their arrows on their bows at the same time locking their sight on the valley.
The demons near the catapult waited for Ragu to relay the command.
Way behind the walls were demons who seemed to be prepared for the bloody feast.
They had vicious smiles before but now they looked at the city walls with serious expressions.
Hundreds of wyverns, flying eagles and Griffin appear in the field vision of the Demon. They were like a patch of black flying towards them.
All of them were Transcendent level or above flying beasts and could carry two people each. They have speed, agility and strength which make them suitable for aerial attack.
The Knights were all at Legendary rank. Be it a diving attack or dropping down into enemy camps, they could bring about significant damage.
And with many mages in between them, they could also protect themselves from enemy attacks.
The leader of the flying squad Barnes looked down with a serious expression and shouted"Charge."
The soldiers started their diving attacks and threw a spear downwards.
The spear was suddenly lit and descended leaving behind a trail of fire.
"Goooo!"
An angry howl thundered.
Flying fireballs rained over the city wall.
The spear with a blazing tail trailing down hit the walls and exploded into the fire last.
BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM
Thousands of spears rained down the ground and blasted off against the city walls throwing the demons on the wall into disarray and making them splatter onto the ground.
In the blink of an eye, another imposing army appeared on the ground.
"Javelin Team!"
Christina issued the command and thousands of warriors with three metre long javelins having sharp pointed objects approached the front and started to greet the demon.
The skies over the border were filled with a rain of javelins.
Ragu panicked and shouted.
"Deploy the formation and activate the barrier quickly."
"Shoot the arrows and launch the catapults."
10 pillars shone over the walls and a barrier appeared covering the walls.
Ragu breathed the air of relief and thought that it was finally time for them to counteract; however , contrary to his thoughts, his eyes widened as he saw the javelins pass through the barrier as if they never existed.
"What the hell?"Ragu jumped up in shock when he saw the javelin hit the ground and detonated, killing a few demons.
Flames of high temperature spread everywhere and the walls started to burn as javelins ran down upon them.
Christina stared at the scene praising such a marvellous creation.
The javelins had been imbued with explosives or gunpowder and anti-magic ruins had been crafted at the tip which would enable it to pass any high-tier barrier.
The javelins flew into the air after being released and passed through the barrier and dived deep into the walls, making a beautiful parabola as they rained towards the enemies.
As a counterattack, just before the javelins could land and explode, an ice wall appeared before them.
DOOK!DOOK!DOOK!DOOK!
A series of sounds was made as ice shards due to the blast were sent everywhere.
The giant slab that appeared above the demons burst into sharp shards which piece their skin giving them ghastly wounds.
And the alternate expansion and condensation of gas due to fire and ice sometimes intensified the explosion.
Large cracks appeared over the walls as an attack from both sides continued.
Demon's archers were not able to pierce Kinley's defences meanwhile Mages were preoccupied with trying to maintain the barrier which does not provide much defence.
BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!
SHRIEKS!
WAILS!
Cries of agony resounded everywhere.
Dark smoke rose into the air as Demons were pushed back.
The path that connected to the bottom of the wall started to shake and rise.
It was apparent that the magic casters wanted to destroy the walls or draw a path to connect the top of the walls to provide a way for the cavalry to rush up and take down the enemies at lowest cost possible.
And it did not take too long for them to achieve this.
The moment they broke through the defence of the wall, they knew that victory here was guaranteed.
Ragu who rose from the dust could stare in disbelief as Kinley soldiers started to slaughter them like ants while trampling over their pride.
