Chapter 188: The Army Of Darkness
In the heart of a desolate mist, the Black Fortress stands like a sinister sentinel, its towering walls cloaked in shadows.
Surrounding the fortress, an army of grotesque monsters prowls, their eyes glowing with malevolence in the dim light. The ground trembles beneath their weight as they pace back and forth, their growls echoing through the eerie silence of the desolation.
Barbed spikes protrude from the fortress walls, serving as a grim warning to any who dare approach. Amidst the darkness, the fortress exudes an aura of dread, a formidable stronghold guarded by the horrors that dwell within.
"Huh!"
"What's this?"
The mist started getting swayed and something pierced through it.
The monster guarding the Black fortress stiffened when a black trail of smoke moved towards them slowly and steadily.
If looked from above, it appeared like a thick puddle of dark clouds wiggling its way towards them.
The Orc guard named Sniar guarding walls squinted down and squeezed his eyes to look far off and the moment his eyes managed to glimpse the movements, his heart almost burst out in shock.
"WHAT IS THIS?"
Before he could mutter his next words
BOOOOM!
Huge rock boulders crashed onto the walls with a large impact.
High above the fortress, the sky was filled with the deafening roar of aerial beasts and griffins, their massive wings beating against the air as they circled menacingly.
Suddenly, from their lofty vantage point, they unleash a barrage of gigantic rocks, hurtling downward with deadly accuracy towards the fortress walls where the monstrous guardians, a mix of Orcs and hobgoblins, watched the shadow drawing closer in panic.
The first rock crashes down with earth-shaking force, smashing into the midst of the startled monsters, and sending them sprawling in all directions. Orcs and hobgoblins alike cry out in terror as the massive projectiles rain down upon them, their screams mingling with the sound of splintering stone and crumbling earth.
"Take cover!" one Orc bellows, his voice drowned out by the cacophony of destruction.
"We're under attack!" shouts another, panic evident in his tone as he scrambles for shelter.
Amidst the chaos, fear grips the hearts of the monsters as they frantically seek refuge from the relentless assault. Some dive for cover behind crumbling walls, while others flee in blind panic, their primal instincts driving them to escape the wrath of the aerial beasts.
"Alert the commander!" yells a hobgoblin, his voice tinged with desperation as he struggles to make himself heard above the din.
But their cries are lost in the chaos as the relentless barrage continues, each impact sending shockwaves of terror through the ranks of the monsters.
With each crashing rock, their defenses crumble, and the once filled with numbers of monsters standing on the fortress are reduced to cowering in fear, their screams echoing through the night as they desperately cling to their rapidly diminishing sense of safety.
The Hobgoblins shooters, who were aiming, suddenly felt their backs tingling. Being snipers, they were quite perceptive to their surroundings, but before they could react a strong wave of metal attack resonated all around.
"AAAAHHH!"
"ARGHHHH!"
"GRRRRR!"
"RUN!"
For a moment except for the sound of screams, all other noises seemed to exist.
It wasn't a battle anymore but a one sided slaughter.
With fierce determination, the ghostly army advances, their dark figures seemingly gliding effortlessly over the terrain, leaving a sign of blood, death and destruction in their wake.
The monsters on the fortress let out guttural roars of recognition, their primal instincts recognizing the threat of the approaching specters.
Amidst the tension-filled air, the ghost army slaughtering enemies suddenly halted their movements. Their faces became elated showing a radiant expression of awe and reverence as they felt the familiar presence.
Without further ado, all of them kneeled down in the ground bowing their heads.
The enemy monsters who were confused suddenly saw an immense threatening glare coming down from the faces of ghosts as if asking them to bow down.
"What I..."
Before they could finish their sentence, a slash wrapped in flames extended on the ground and the monster soon find their legs cut from the knees making them falls
THUD!THUD!THUD!
"KNEEEELL!"
BOOOM!
The ghost army went crazy seeing the monster standing and wreaking havoc cutting legs. Some even ganged up the huge Orcs and Ogre forcing their head to pin down onto the floor.
Amidst, a figure gliding through the land landed on the ground with a loud crackling voice.
BOOOM!
The ground beneath him as his feet crashed on the ground.
Then with a thud, a man with two bony wings landed on the walls and his eyes filled with an eternal primordial darkness looked up at the staggering number of ghosts bowing their heads.
"What a grand welcome!"
