Chapter 369 The Stampede

Barbara began her address. "My brothers and sisters of the Highlands. Sons and daughters of the Aura bloodline. For a long time, we have suffered. Suffered under the thumb of the Vandora kingdom. They come with their weapons and their puny dicks, to take our land, your hard work, and your sisters and mothers..."

Her eyes looked round, staring into the pupils of the soldiers, as if to read their minds. "...your wives, and your mothers!" she pointed at them. But no more. NO MORE!" she screamed and they echoed after her, "NO MORE!!"

"We shall go into the heart of their land, and bring unto them the justice of the Highlands. We shall touch their hearts with our fists and rip it out of their chests.

We shall pay them a thousand time, for the pain they inflicted unto us and when we are done, we shall take what rightfully belongs to US!

Are you with ME!?"

The crowd of battle hungry men and women echoed a war cry in response.

As they did, Barbara waved her hands and her Core beast rushed to her. A red core beast, a long descendant of the phoenix.

instantly, she mounted it and so did Mani and Chiron, on their own beasts.

She kicked against its stomach and it charged in forward.

And so did the army.

Their thick hides were marked with cores that glowed ominously in shades of blue, green, and yellow. The blue-cored beasts, rare and particularly fearsome, led the charge with a thunderous ferocity. Their immense size and strength made them natural leaders in this wild exodus. Following them were the more numerous green and yellow-cored beasts, each formidable in its own right.

As they surged through the forest, ancient trees that had stood for centuries were uprooted or snapped like twigs. The unstoppable force of the stampede turned the lush woodland into a scene of destruction. Amidst the chaos, smaller creatures, unable to match the speed or might of their larger kin, were trampled underfoot, their bodies crushed into unrecognizable masses of flesh and bone.

The terrifying procession of core beasts didn't stop at the forest's edge. As they burst through the treeline, the nearby villages found themselves directly in the path of destruction. Homes that had stood for generations were flattened in moments, reduced to rubble under the onslaught.

Villagers, caught in the midst of this unforeseen disaster, ran screaming from their homes, their cries of terror piercing the air.

Children clutched their parents, their faces etched with fear, while the elderly could only watch in despair as their world was torn apart.

In some corners, people fell to their knees, overcome by the magnitude of the devastation. They prayed, some weeping.

believing that this was indeed the end of days. Their prayers were desperate pleas, lost in the cacophony of the beasts' roars and the crushing sounds of their rampage.

The scene was apocalyptic - a relentless tide of nature's fury, unleashed without regard for friend or foe. The core beasts, driven by the overwhelming fear aura, knew only the instinct to flee, leaving a trail of carnage in their wake as they bore down on the Vandorian camp, a dark cloud of destruction ready to engulf everything in its path.

As she watched this, Barbara smiled.
