"Are you nervous?"
"No, I'm not afraid of dying, I'm just afraid of the unexpected that may occur during the battle for my men."
Six people stood in front of the edge of the forest, three women and three men.
Namely, Noddra, Vandel, and the second counselor, a vampire woman who seemed to be the same age as Liliana with an embracing silhouette and a mole on her cheek; her name was Rosasse Sliverhoock, and she had long white hair up to her waist and was dressed in a black Gothic dress and medieval heels with a magic stick that was glowing in color.
Next to her, Sylvia nonchalantly exchanged a few words with their queen; Liliana Bloodclaw. Of course, the sixth person was none other than Alvine.
"It's normal to be afraid of battles. But sometimes we are forced to show our enemies the cruelty we can commit if we are provoked." Instead of Sylvia, it is Alvine who answers after hearing Sylvia's fear.
"Sigh, these words sound weird if they come from someone who is not afraid of battles." Liliana shook her head. She herself was no different from Alvine but she had the life of her entire race on her (frails) shoulders.
"I'm not so different from you, queen of vampires. Everyone has afraid of something, a strange man had one day asked me the same question, I had given him the answer you had just given to Sylvia. But deep down all of us know that death scares us because we do not want to give up the life we are currently leading. An almost unlimited universe to explore, new encounters, and the daily life we lead with loved ones; this is the vital force that emanates in each of us and constantly pushes us to progress to cling to the white thread that is life." He said while he was looking at the horde of animals that are a hundred meters from the wall. "Moreover, he who does not have this vigor in him does not deserve to receive the gift of life; just like me, before." He continued
"...I see; it seems that I was mistaken for you." She said, in shock, after hearing Alvine's words.
"Well, we'll start in less than five minutes. The plan always remains the same. Liliana?"
"Yes, I would take charge of the divine centaur!"
"Noddra, Rosasse, and Vandel; you know what to do, don't you?"
"Yes, my lord, you don't have to worry about the divine chimera, we are more than enough to give him a quick death." Vandel, who was considered their leader, answered Alvine's question.
"Very well, but never underestimate this beast, the toughest opponent may be the tiger under my charge but, believe me for words, chimeras are smarter with their vicious stratagems; be careful. I do not allow any of you to perish unnecessarily in this battle."
"We have heard your orders and advice, my lord." They bowed to him.
"As for you, Sylvia, among us, you are the master card we have at our disposal. I would lie to you if I said that I could hold on in front of two divine beasts for more than five minutes. So do everything possible to complete the teleportation task before this deadline." He continued looking at Sylvia with solemn eyes.
"Don't worry, master, the task will be faster than expected. But on the other hand, you, master, how do you intend to take care of two divine beasts at the same time? Even if it's less than thirty seconds, the risk is too great. Beasts may be less powerful in a confrontation because of their limited intelligence, they are still two." It was the umpteenth time she tried to dissuade Alvine, but the latter still shook only his head.
"Don't worry about that, we've already had this conversation. I am the only one able to trigger the traps that are buried here. Not to mention that the probability that divine beasts will join the battle from the beginning is too low. So you don't have to worry about me, I have to face two divine beasts only if they join the battle from the beginning; otherwise, we will just try to save more time until you come back." He said in a placid tone.
"Sigh, very well." Sylvia finally gave up, it was her last chance to convince Alvine to change roles with her. But the result is now obvious when hearing his answer.
*Dalvine, are you here? I have an interesting offer for you! *
*... Talk, I'm listening to you. *
Meanwhile, behind the wall that served as a dam, the fifth general who was the dark black giant tiger looked at the gigantic wall with a platitude.
"General fifth, what is your opinion on this wall?" A chimera with a scarlet coat asked for the black tiger.
But the reason Alvine was not too worried about this chimera was the color of her scarlet eyes! With the color of his eyes alone, Alvine could say that this chimera is different from the chimera he had faced in Brisht's tower.
Chimeras are generally classified into two different categories, white-eyed chimeras that have powers and skills related to illusion but are also the most vicious, and chimeras with bloody red eyes that are known for their fervors.
"This wall is surely the cause of the death of our scouts."
"I don't understand, what is the cause of their deaths and the construction of this wall?" The chimera asked while his snake tail whistled while pulling his tongue.
"Though for a second, seventh general. What will you do if you were in the place of our prey? You are trying to build a fort to prevent us from invading you, but when it was in achievement, one of my subordinates saw you at work. Will you do your best to prevent my subordinate from bringing me the news or will you let him go calmly?"
"Rahahah! What an intelligence?! No wonder you hold this fifth place position, despite the unreasonable power of the sixth general. Speaking of him, what did she tell us about this wall?"
Hearing the seventh general mention the sixth general, the black tiger purred with malice. "You know him no, his unique skill allows him to take on the appearance of his enemy after killing him. Thanks to him, who had managed to infiltrate our preys, I now know what these insects intend to do with this giant wall. They intend to send all their skirmishes to our subordinates who will be unable to climb this wall. Do you understand what I mean by that? This means that the toughest preys await us above, the faster we exterminate them, the faster we will win this war." The black tiger spoke in a monotonous voice as he raised his head to look at the sky.
"Ho? So our preys want to send us meats of poor quality to soothe the tingling of our fangs? RaHaha!! But why do these idiots think they will be safe at the top of this wall while they watched us eat their sub-fifes? I want to enjoy good meat, general or royal quality meat!"
"Patience, my friend. Our plan is going perfectly. According to the reports of the sixth general, the two kingdoms are currently defenseless, he himself is on his way to exterminate all the vermins there! As for us, we will climb this wall with our brother emperors and exterminate the vermins there. Our weakest soldiers will take care of their sub-fifes that will be present after our departure. After all, if our soldiers are not able to take care of their ordinary soldiers, they do not deserve to join us!"
But what he did not know and that the sixth general had forgotten to tell him maybe because of his minor intelligence was the number of soldiers who had to face the holy beasts!
"But I'm a little worried. You know just like me how stupid the sixth is, I hope his information is not wrong?"
Until now, Alvine had been able to count four divine beasts which are the last three generals and the fifth general! The sixth general had been sent on an infiltration mission to the enemy base. And according to their conversations, the sixth has done quite well so far while providing them with information about their enemies.
"Don't worry about that. The only thing he is good at after the fight is infiltration! Not to mention that currently, he poses to be one of their generals. As a result, he has access to all the information! We will win this war and I will be promoted to the fourth level!"
Just after announcing these words, two gigantic wings grew on their backs while scarlet lightning danced around his body; his smooth black hairs stood on his back like thin needles capable of piercing even through black gold! "Listen to my command! The holy beasts will stay here to warmly welcome the minions who will be there in one moment to the next, the others, with me!!" He screamed these words in a majestic voice, full of dignity and arrogance while he flew in the sky to climb the wall to reach the forest.
"Well, it looks like they have voluntarily decided to leave the holy beasts behind. That makes things more than interesting." " Alvine who could see everything with her magical perception commented with these words.
"Sylvia begins the teleportation of troops." He ordered. But at the same time, he suddenly heard Dalvine's voice in his head.
*Kuku, then we have an agreement. *
Just by hearing this diabolical voice with her usual smile, for the first time, Alvine was happy to hear Dalvine's mischievous giggle.
At the same time, Alvine revealed two things, his primordial sword which was of unprecedented whiteness, including the blade itself, and his clone!
But this time, it was not Alvine's fictional soul that owned her clone, but Dalvine!
After Dalvine's appearance, Alvine did not even spare him a look. *Don't miss the terms of our agreement, you must in no way... *
*Kuku, I know, I know, stop being so boring; you might spoil my pleasure! * Just after Dalvine said these words, he sprinted nonchalantly to both kingdoms with a sublime smile.
After Dalvine's departure, Alvine put his finger on his forehead while he communicated his thoughts with Sylvia. *Sylvia, don't forget to tie this idiot who stupidly obeys the spy; just because his wife and children are hostages. *
*At your orders, master. But how do you plan to take care of the spy himself? It's a beast of divine rank, despite everything! And even if he hid his energy at our first strategic meeting, he seems more powerful than all the other divine beasts we will soon face! *
*Don't worry Sylvia, this divine beast is not only a gift for someone, but it also allowed me to have access to all my power until the battle ended! I can only thank him for infiltrating our camp! It not only allowed us to provide bad information to the enemy but also more than that! *
While Alvine thanked Dalvine's new prey, Dalvine himself made his way to his new destination with a radiant smile! 'Even if it's been millennia since I had done a hunting game, is it normal that my excitement is so powerful to the point of destroying this clone?! Kukuku! Maybe I should give him a chance to invoke his allies? Otherwise, a single divine beast is not funny to shoot down!' He affirmed while keeping his smile overexcited!
