Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 179: Rise of war (4)

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The marchings of the army stopped several distances away from the gate of Ferandel. Raes henil stood in his place while hovering just above his army. The siege weapons were aimed onto the walls of the city.

The soldiers that noticed their presence inside the city also aimed their arrows and defense weapons and harpoon turrets towards the army.

The general of the Dracton army descended and stood amidst the army and pointed his sword towards the Walls and began to start talking in a commanding voice.

"Soldiers! Load the Ballista! Archers, aim your arrows!"

He looked at the captain of the walls with a menacing glare and abruptly yelled in a loud voice. "Charge!"

Upon hearing his command they released the ballista and shot their arrows and rained the city with their weapons.

"Boom! boom!"

As soon as the round of ballista hit the walls they caused a great impact and thoroughly created hollows and rifts in the walls. The raining arrows penetrated a few of the soldiers.

The captain of the wall rushed behind one of the walls and shouted. " Release the harpoons! Open the traps!"

As he was commanding a duo came out of the gate with no one to assist them. One of them possessed a crescent spear and the other one possessed a scimitar. The killing intent and the aura they emanated literally made the foot soldiers flinch and sowed a menacing feeling into their hearts.

The duo was none other than the sword sage and the spear sage. The courage to walk out without care and facing an army sure needs immense confidence in their strength.

But, would Raes henil come without preparation to fight such monsters? Amidst the army was two devils, the higher devils who possess the capability to rival existence like sages who are just beneath demi gods in terms of strength.

'Hmm, the sacrifice of your brethren and your terrible insight to face this war... You, humans, are truly wicked!'

The devil next to Raes henil said with a smile while looking down towards the duo and the vicinity which was extremely quiet.

It was the calm before the storm. Both the offending and defending party did not dare to make a move as the duo stepped in.

Powww!

Suddenly the horn sound of the city resounded throughout the whole city and the areas around it. Unlike the first alarm which blew up as soon as they noticed the army. It was an alarm that declared the rise of war.

The people that were sleeping in peace woke up in a startle. It was a sudden development the Entizens did not expect. Rather they were naive even though they were suddenly given blessings from the gods. 

At the same time, the Regulars inside the city walked out of their comfort zone. They knew the meaning of the horn.

It was the Rise of a New Era. An Era of Wars! A Prewritten destiny of Empyrean that will instill calamity and chaos has begun! One that will be narrated to children. A tale that will be passed down to generation after generation. An occurrence that will be engraved in history was born that day!

Both the spear sage and sword sage swung their weapons in unison and released a wave of Vital energy that literally shattered the shields of the foot soldiers.

In the same instance, every city and small city in Empyrean was in Turmoil. There were intimated about the Rise of war between Dracton and Ferandel. Integrity summoned company directors. Corrupted gods summoned Commanders and their pawns.

In the city of Nazlane, Which was just a few days away from Ferandel.

"Ferandel has requested Forces and protection to the citizens of Ferandel! "

Shreya said holding a communication crystal while looking at Nagendra who seem to just have woken up and still drowsy.

"I understand."

He said calmly rose from his bed where his girlfriend was soundly sleeping and picked the coat that was hung by the anchor and walked towards Shreya.

"Let her sleep. Let's go and call other members of our Company."

He ordered as he slid his hands in the coat.

As he walked out of his building that was very cramped and hidden inside a crooked lane he witnessed refugees walking out of the portals that are used to travel through cities at ease.

***

"I understand. Speak up"

The man wearing a black patch said in an annoyed tone while peering through his window watching the regulars run here and there with a calm demeanor.

{Mr.Bageran...You are requested to visit the palace this instance...}

"Okay"

He replied and abruptly ended the call.

"Hah, Seems like I have to go now."

He sighed looking at the woman who was in his bed-chamber looking at him with her seductive eyes.

He was the man who aided Nix by giving him two gold coins when he was banished and it seems he was still in Ranrak.

The same desperate calls were made to Outlaws and the cities owned by outlaws. That night there were several communications and desperate calls were made. The only problem was two titans among Outlaws were taken down by a man which destroyed balance. At least that was what rumored and believed by those who didn't know the truth about the men who were practically immortal.

The moment they descend to Midworld Outlaws victory will be given. The outlaws that stayed in Dracton were paid handsomely and placed amidst soldiers. To be fair, they were forced to do so. Since they did not volunteer.

Meanwhile in an Isolated town, Theemai,

Nix was rhythmically thrusted his body onto Cinzia while holding her body firmly in his embrace absorbing her feminine scent, grabbing her soft body with care.

The bed shook as the couple intertwined and conjoined their bodies. 

"AHh!"

He moaned along with Cinzia and turned upside down with her lying on top of his chest.

"Wouldn't it be better if we just abandon all this and stay like this?"

Cinzia said looking up at his eyes with flushed cheeks.

"hmm..."

He smirked and smelt the pleasant and sweet smell of her hair without answering and drifted his eyes back to her.

"I'd love to... But don't you think there is no peaceful times for me nor any Outsider?"

He said with a worry in his eyes.

"I am sorry for spoiling the mood."

Cinzia said kissing his cheek.

"It's fine, I had a talk a while ago." 

He stopped.

"About my Level up, I assume?"

She asked.

"Yeah, I just made a talk with Yeril. It seems one has to go to a temple if they want to change their gods or Faction. It's a troublesome thing."

"I will have to visit a temple tomorrow. I guess."

"Yeah, mayhap we will go to a city with Felishia tomorrow."

The night was pretty much comfortable unlike ever before for him. 

As soon as he woke up he descended towards the basement when he exactly collided with Felishia who was in a hurry.

"Ouch!"

She sad and looked up at him.

"Why are you in hurry?"

He asked calmly.

"I was looking for you!"

She said anxiously.

"Why?"

He asked indifferently.

"The war has begun..."

"Ohh okay."

He said indifferently.

"You said you will aid me! I will bring the forces into this town tomorrow..."

"Then?"

He broke her sentence asked her.

"You seem to be anxious about this. I get it, there is a war. And we will participate in it no matter what. I've made a deal with Heredia. But I've not been called and rather we still have time."

"The amount of time we have is one week to one month. I cannot accurately estimate how long this will prolong. The Treaty has been abandoned. But I absolutely do not want the Corrupted gods to win."

"What should I do now? I know you have your own followers who worship you. I will participate when you call me. Plus I need your help to visit a city today...."

He said calmly.

"I understand but, I cannot waste time so, you will have to come with me to the places I will be visiting."

"Deal."

He said nonchalantly and went to the gym where he met with Ferdinand who was desperately exercising.

"Greetings, Mr.Nix"

"Sup man? I see you are training as well. So, what's your Idea? Are you planning to join this clan or going to leave?" Nix asked with a smile while picking up the dumb bells.

"I want to join..."

Ferdinand said hesitantly.

"That's good to hear. Discuss with Remo, he is the manager to make a contract. The pay will be kind of low, Though. Is it okay?"

"I am absolutely grateful to just join Lord Nix!"

He said with a smile.

"Lord? Okay, I look forward to the future of working with you." Nix replied with a smile.
