Chapter 1523 1523. Take The Demon City!

The entire army, adventurers, dragons, and aquatic soldiers had arrived at their meeting place. The map was still placed with four marked points along the heavy stone walls. "You have all dealt with a lot, but don't worry, we brought some fun things that we found in the river." Leon had arrived leaving the forces that came with him near the river. He had made a few discoveries.

"He is very right. When I arrived I found them harvesting something odd." Current seemed interested in whatever they had harvested too. "Freshwater squid."

"Freshwater squid?" Walker was a little lost, "How could that help?" He had heard of the small weak monster that was normally the size of a housecat.

"The ink sack is the only valuable part other than the meat. It reminds me of this kraken but without as much evil in them. But that's beside the point. The ink sacks can create a dark mist when they evaporate in the air. That means that we can use them as ambush tactics while we enter the walls." Leon had seen the immense value in these small monsters.

"They are very good. I was glad to help when I found the soldiers along the river capturing them. With a little control of the water, things came together quickly." Current was ready to see a battle. Walker had not expected that Current could become so forward and battle ready.

"Always showing off. This is why we should have watched them better. They have brought more chaos in to the battle." Mordant mocked Current a little but everyone knew that it was more of a compliment.

"Good, then Ventus, take the ink sacks and drop them at these four points. Onyx and you will be controlling everyone's communication." Both Walker and Scylla had agreed this was the best move.

"When that happens my golems will be breaking those walls with Royal dragon Terron." The king of the surface had his largest golems prepared to charge the walls and sacrifice themselves to break them in one move.

"A simple matter for me." Terron thought that breaking walls was too little.

"Ignus and Mordant can lead the frontal attack on this spot and this spot. That should make things easier. Scylla will lead here with my party. Leon will take here, with his soldiers. Alma, you and the elven mages need to be ready to prevent magical attacks. The mages were pulled in for a reason." Walker was deadly serious. He had to ensure that everything went perfectly.

"Agreed." The entire group agreed to this. They all were ready to get this over with. They had marched on countless villages, been able to beat slimes that were still spreading through the demon lands, and stop terrible explosions in villages.

"Get in to positions." Walker felt the weight on his shoulders grow. He hated being the center of attention. However, he had accepted that this was his goal. He was one of the people that was standing in the center to drive this cause to the rightful end. To the best possible end for the mon people.

The movements of soldiers, adventurers, and dragonkin were fast. Very fast. They had taken rest and been uplifted by the liberation of villages. They had all heard the things discovered and the theories behind them. Now it was time to use their strength to free an entire race.

Ventus had her eyes focused on Walker as she started to take off in to the air with four bags of ink sacks in her claws. She knew that this was more serious than before. She felt that she had seen the true worth of Walker and Genesis. Their strength was much higher than she had expected from them. "If you need me, I will bring down a torrent of wind blades."

The promise made Walker feel he had made the right choice. He did not need to use the royal dragon that stood beside them. As long as he shared a mutual trust and respect for them, then they would always be beside him. The way that the dragon society worked was going to change. Become more accepting. But even more, it was going to have another royal nature dragon to bring them in to a new era.

"Midnight, I want you to stay close to me. We are going to use our attacks as much as we can to make sure that no one is hurt. Whether it is demon soldiers or not. We will make sure that we protect everyone here." Everyone knew their allies might get hurt or even die. This was war, not some adventure in the woods.

The walls that Walker looked at from his starting point were much higher than he had felt before. The entire force behind him and Scylla were organized to come right in line. They did not hide. This was not what they needed. If they tried to hide they would be the ones ambushed; they were expecting many mages.

"Brother, here we go." Onyx sent mental messages to everyone he could. Ventus had just dropped the four bags full of freshwater squid ink sacs.

"Three, two…one, Now!" Gil took the count to start the charge. The king of the surface had his golems charge forward while the earth mages and Terron prepared attacks to push through the walls with them.

Earth reached up and surrounded the running golems. They had brandished large metal battering rams that could easily smash any wall. Now with the additional weight and strength of earth, they seemed to cause small earthquakes with every step. Every soldier felt the vibrations on the ground as they moved.

The second the dark mist covered the walls, the loud cracking echoed through the lands. Everyone could feel the shattering stone from where they were along with seeing the growing dark mist. "We charge!"

Everyone let out roars, shouts, and battle cries. They were ready for this. They were going to rescue the trapped people, defeat the demons, and free the lands. These desires roared out of every single one of them.

'The world watches.'

This system message came through to everyone. They felt they had the very power of the world with them at every step.

"Prepare for attacks!" The calls from mages came first as they sensed the mana around the city becoming denser. It was being pulled toward the center. This caused many of the mages to begin casting their defensive elemental skills. Earth walls formed while the soldiers pushed forward to the main walls of the demon capital.

What shook everyone was that the mana seemed to be drawn toward the center of the demon capital. It was not coming toward them. "Break their trap and rush in!" The cry from commanders, captains, and even Walker reverberated through those pushing through the shattered walls. The stones beneath their feet being moved away by the stone elf mages.

The sudden stoppage of moving mana around the demon city made every soldier halt in their tracks. They had never been in ait where there was no moving mana. It felt unnatural. Strange. And made them shiver.

Fleur was trying her best to pull the natural mana closer but it had been pulled away from around them. Walker could feel the discomfort from all those with the ability to sense mana. "Don't stop! We can fix it!"

The party took the lead charging in to the city. They saw the partially made forges and broken open resting quarters of demon soldiers. However, the spaces near the walls had absolutely nothing. There were no soldiers. No demons to be seen at all.

"Brother, there is movement deeper." Onyx received this information from Ventus who was acting as the eyes in the sky.

"Gil, take the high ground and follow us. Midnight, hide in the shadows." Walker knew that Scylla had already split off with her own soldiers along a secondary route toward the center. He was sure she didn't know what was going on with the demons. There was no ambush here!

"It looks like they just abandoned everything." Su and Remey had been watching the doors of buildings while the group moved through the winding paths.

"I know. There is something wrong here." The mana was still stagnant around them making Walker more and more on edge.

"We have someone here!" the first call came from a dragonkin nearby.' They had found a collapsed demon on the ground near a small training courtyard.

"Alice, see to them." Walker took up a defensive position while Alice checked the demon.

"Mana deficiency." This was something that was incredibly rare. Something that many people did not need to deal with because their bodies could keep up with the mana they were using. They could recover.

"No, the mana had been forcefully drawn out of them." Walker placed a hand on the demon man's head. He could feel the slight tug if the man's mana was being stolen from his body. "The city might already have taken all the mana to the center." Onyx relayed the constant findings of fallen demon mages, peoples, and craftsmen. The entire city so far was at a loss for mana.
