Chapter 41: Curtain Fall

Chapter 41: Curtain Fall

The wind blew in a strange direction, to a seeing eye it was just ordinary however to those who have lived here all of their life they could tell something was wrong. The border was a fragile place where one could tell the change of the tides, the guards were on edge constantly but something was different on this very day. A storm even bigger than a monster stampede was brewing, like the calm before such a disaster was ominous and could be felt through their skin and soul. Instinct was a fickle thing, it could lead to some rash decisions as such some had decided to go home early or quit outright at this time of the night.

Nothing and absolutely nothing in the world could have prepared them for what they saw in the sky, thousands upon thousands of what appeared to be flying ships sailed through the sky. Panic through their hearts as the ships were far too high to strike with catapults, one thing ran through the minds as they witnessed this: The Invasion Had Begun. All of those who were at the border tried to contact their superiors but they soon fell into a whirlpool of despair as they realized their magic communication network was being jammed in real time. The sheer amount of chaos happening at the moment was enough to be called a circle of hell, they blew horns to alert everyone that war had begun.

To those who were unaware they were hit by a sudden gut wrenching drop in their stomachs, as they looked up to the skies and saw the ships flying over their borders.

"NOOOOOOO!! THERE'S A THOUSAND-! NO THOUSANDS OF MONSTERS HEADING THIS WAY! WAVES UPON WAVES!! IT'S THE DEMON KING'S ARMY OF THE END!!!"

Those who held their weapons in preparation to battle dropped them, those six words were more than what they could bear. They were taught all their lives to remember the flag of the Demon King and now today was the day they had never wished for to come had arrived. Under the veil of night the army of the damned had come to stain their land in blood and gore. What was accompanied from that shout was a collected shriek of terror as these men begged to be let out so they could escape. But that was not an option, some had to be killed to set an example. If they couldn't stand here then they would all die. The Wall of Mankind mustn't fall here, otherwise hope as they knew it would be lost.

"Organize yourself and prepare for battle" were words that passed through the mouths of captains and generals of these border forts. There was enough of them to stall them for when the heroes came but fate was not graceful enough to allow such heroism to happen right now.

At the borders of the Bolcross Theocracy stood the Holy Wall of Lavenzou, it was a symbol that barred unclean monsters and demihumans out of the Holy Land. Their skies were protected by the Beacon of Sovereignty, a barrier that stretched across the entire country. The only thing that could destroy that was something that lived and thrived in the high skies. Not winged demons, not harpies nor wyverns nothing but pure dragons. This they feared more than invasion from a massive army because without that their sole protection against evil would go to the wind and there was nothing they could do to stop it from entering the nation freely. But they didn't need to do that because no dragon ever ventured into their land before.

"What fools"

Shen smiled as she leapt off from one of the flying ships that was sailing at a high point in the sky dropping in on that eyesore floating above the Bolcross Theocracy. She notices several angels spawn right beside her which makes her smile as she opens the sheath of her sword and slashes all of them into shreds as she is getting closer and closer to the Beacon. An archangel appears right before her which makes Shen laugh as she grows her wings and uses lightning magic to vanish from its sight, she appears behind it clipping all six of its wings causing it to flail in agony as it falls to the ground.
