Chapter 363 Battle For The Union I - The Human Battle Ram
"Last night, you fainted, why are you scared so scared of my daughter? Even if she\'s a dragon, she\'s not aggressive," Velian asked Lucy, as he equipped his armour and sword before going to the war.
"It\'s not like I\'m scared, but demons like us can feel how terrifying they are even without getting close, so-" She suddenly remembered about the forest that they shouldn\'t enter.
The human land and the demon continent were separated by two geographical locations one being the deep sea, which is the possible route out of the two.
But still, it was dangerous enough, that if you act careless, it might cost your life.
And the second option is the forest, which is the impossible route because there are rumours that dragons live in that forest and anyone that tried to cross the forest couldn\'t survive.
"Whatever, so arentoh ready for the war? If you\'re scared of Aurora, you can stay away from her, no problem," Velian said and left Lucy, who was wondering how she can report this to her queen.
\'A dragon! As a child, looks like I really underestimated him, we might have to be careful once this war is over\'
Lucy wasn\'t foolish enough to blindly trust someone, so she decided to report everything and make a treaty with humans.
As she wore her own armour and went to the assembly, which is already happening, she saw Daphnia and Juno leading two different groups.
"Which team am ongoing to fight for? Juno is good, but Daphnia is the better option here considering she has more experience," Lucy decided and went into her group with other succubuses.
The sun began its descent, casting a golden hue upon the gathered Kelleros soldiers, their armour gleaming in the fading light. In the centre of the encampment, Velian, his eyes shimmering with determination, stood upon a raised platform. His voice boomed with confidence as he addressed his comrades.
"Soldiers of freedom, today we face our greatest challenge yet. The Dukas Union may outnumber us and they might possess a vile power, but they cannot match our spirit, and our will to fight for what is right. Remember, this battle is not just about victory; it is about justice, about reclaiming our land from the clutches of tyranny and terror."
A wave of applause rippled through the ranks as Velian\'s words resonated with the soldiers\' hearts. They knew that their cause was just and that the time for liberation had come.
Velian raised his hand, silencing the crowd. "Today, we shall strike fear into the hearts of our oppressors. We shall show them that the power of unity and justice cannot be quelled. Together, we shall breach their mighty gate and storm the very heart of their command centre."
The soldiers roared, their determination fueling their spirits. They were ready to lay down their lives for the cause they believed in.
As the soldiers formed ranks, Daphnia, her platinum hair flowing behind her, stepped forward, her voice carrying the weight of command. "Juno, take your team and flank the eastern side. Create chaos and divert their attention. We need them to focus on us, not on Velian\'s approach."
Juno, a seasoned warrior with eyes as sharp as an eagle\'s, nodded in affirmation. "You can count on me, Mother-in-law. We\'ll make them regret ever crossing paths with us."
With a nod of acknowledgement, Daphnia turned to the rest of her team, her voice commanding and resolute. "The rest of you, follow me. We\'ll lead the charge straight through their ranks. Let our swords and arrows be the instruments of justice."
The soldiers surged forward, their weapons at the ready, their determination unwavering. They knew that they fought not only for themselves but for the countless others who had suffered under the yoke of the Dukas Union.
They fought because they didn\'t want their family, their friends, and lovers to experience the horror that parasitic cell users can bring upon them.
Meanwhile, high above the battlefield, Velian, his eyes glowing with a radiant power, levitated alongside Aurora, who was hardly trying to keep her balance with her small wings. Together, they hovered in the air, gazing down upon the massive gate that barred their path.
Velian\'s voice carried a sense of both awe and determination. "Aurora, prepare yourself. We will breach the gate from above. With my levitation and your precision, we shall strike at the heart of their defences."
"I can use decimate, but I want you to improve, you will have to fight with other dragons someday, so I can\'t hold back you just because I love you, you need to face danger,"
Aurora nodded, her eyes sharp and focused. "I am ready, Papa. Let me show them the might of your daughter."
With a swift motion, Velian and Aurora dove towards the gate, their combined power crackling in the air. Velian summoned his energy, channelling it into a concentrated blast that tore through the heavy metal, causing the gate to shudder and splinter.
Aurora did the same thing, but her attack was a lot weaker. For a moment, she thought about using her dragon breath, but then she decided not to do it because she would become a liability.
As the rebels surged forward, inspired by the breach, Velian and Aurora descended upon the chaos below, their combined strength bolstering the morale of their comrades.
"Move forward! Move forward! Don\'t stop, "The civilians were running around the city panicked, and from time to time one or two guards came to fight them but what Velian noticed was the lack of defence in this place.
"Something is not right! Aurora stay behind me!"
Velian said and advanced with her army, but suddenly he saw a huge group of people waiting for them in front of the castle gate.
"Ohhh~ so they had this many cell users in this city," Daphnia and Juno asked their army to halt because they knew, a battle with all of them will be too much for normal humans.
"You should have escaped this city, as soon as you managed to be free," Looking at the familiar face of the woman, who is looking at Velian with a smile, he muttered causing her to reply with some unexpected words.
