Chapter 1004 Victory

?A giant wolf released a stream of light from his mouth toward the wall, only to be intercepted by an arrow.

The arrow overwhelmed the burst of energy and eventually reached the giant wolf. The latter tried to avoid it, but it was too late. The arrow tore apart its jaws.

Unfortunately for the beast, it didn't have the time to wail in pain as another arrow arrived, exploding its head.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

The demons around it looked like they were mourning for him, but it was useless. Numerous rains of lights had been summoned, raining them down.

On the other side, there was another beast that stuck to the ground. Its body was completely tied to the ground.

The other demons tried to sever the threads, but it was impossible to do it. Another arrow then came toward this demon and blew its body apart.

Not long after, a bird fell to the ground with its body completely charred.

"Kill them!" Howard pointed forward while waving his sword to kill the remaining enemy.

There was a Superior Demon in front of them, but it was currently being drowned by a giant sphere of water. Howard and Andreas leaped into the air and slashed the Superior Demon, ending its life.

Behind that Superior Demon was yet another Superior Demon. This time, the demon seemed to be burned inside out by a radiant light that permeated the dark sky.

Howard and Andreas didn't hesitate to pass through him, leading the rest of the soldiers to the south. It was a quick battle as another radiant light killed dozens of demons.

Once they reached the corner, they saw another Superior Demon dying with numerous holes in its body. Even the normal demons didn't survive.

It was a quick operation as they made their way back to the north wall.

However, the moment they reached the north wall, they noticed that the demons were retreating.

"!!!" Howard widened his eyes in shock. This could only mean one thing. They had won.

Sadly, he couldn't cheer just yet as Noel suddenly pointed at the demons and shouted, "Kill them!"

Howard's expression turned serious. He didn't know why Noel wanted to do it, considering they had retreated, but he acknowledged the order and commanded the army to chase down these demons.

Anna said the same thing as what Layla wanted to say. "We've won."

"We've won!" The cheers erupted inside the city.

The people rejoiced and hugged each other in disbelief. The injured ones lied down with a big smile on their faces, the kids were cheering nonstop, the elderly were crying.

The soldiers on top were also rejoicing. They were jumping up and down while cheering no matter how tired they were.

Charlotte looked up with a smile. She had witnessed the ability of the previous lord, but this time, she was convinced that his son had surpassed him. "To think that we are able to achieve this in our current state."

"Indeed." Douglas smiled. "This city will become the mark of the changing era. I wish to complete this city as soon as possible and find a successor that can take care of this city. Unlike you, I have yet to find a successor."

"With this victory, we can do a lot of things. In fact, the money we can get just from this victory is insane, especially regarding the Rune Academy. The Lord has shown the strength of runes, so there's no way people will be stingy if they want to get a spot." Balott smirked. "I smell a lot of money."

"Well, the immediate danger is gone, but I'm afraid the long war has begun. I'm going to have a headache after this. But for sure, I have to spread the news as quickly as possible. Let's shock all four countries with the deeds of our Lord." Harley chuckled.

"Indeed. Even though we'll have a lot of money, I can't neglect my research. I have to make sure that these people have their bellies filled." Jasmine pumped her chest.

"It seems that breaking my neutrality by becoming his vassal is the greatest decision I've ever made." Roel smiled.

"I guess he didn't lie at that time." Khalid smiled, recalling the words that Noel said to him when he tried to recruit him.

Sandra looked at the wall and muttered, "You have worked hard, Tristan. We were lucky to meet a good lord like him."

Felicia, who was lying down, said weakly, "Long live Noel Ardagan, Long live the Ardagan Family."

The pillars of the Ardagan Family weren't the only ones shocked by this victory. Even the helpers that Noel invited couldn't help but express their shock.

"It seems that the Saintess has made the correct decision. A headquarters, huh... It seems that I have to work hard so that the Earl doesn't expel us or anything." Aurelia smiled. "Those oldies back home would definitely be overjoyed by the news."

The Water Lord smirked. "I knew it. That guy was already abnormal when I met him as a member of the Demon Relief Squad. Fortunately, my Silica Valley isn't that far from this place, so cooperation should be possible."

Clara looked at Noel with a proud smile. To think that her former subordinate would become someone she could only look up to. It hadn't even been long either. "Paul and the others would be happy to hear this."

Milfa scratched the back of her head. "What if, at that time, I lost the bet to him and ended up becoming his vassal? Nonetheless, it seems that Dimitri has chosen the correct master to serve. I still have a lot to learn.

Faust closed his eyes, recalling the time Noel helped his squad. "It's truly surprising that a person can grow that fast. Then again, I should be happy because another good fighter and lord have appeared in the Muivell Kingdom. I'm looking forward to his future achievements."

Last but not least, Duke Briton looked at the sky while thinking, 'The era is changing, the young will surpass the old... He is going to become a hell of a monster in the future. Rune, huh? I should praise His Majesty for making the correct decision by allying the kingdom with him. I can see that a lot of things that were not possible in the past will be created through runes. With this, his name is enough to make the royal family of this kingdom panic. Sadly, I won't be able to see their faces.'

Duke Briton was still annoyed by how the Muivell Kingdom acted when they tried to stop them from coming to the Muivell Kingdom. They had to pay a hefty toll and do a lot of troublesome things just to come to this kingdom.

Last but not least, it was Noel. He was standing on top of the wall, looking at his city. In front of him was the town he swore to protect. Behind him was the battlefield where he laid waste to his opponents. Besides him were the comrades that fought together with him.

This was not his victory. It was everyone's victory.
