Chapter 1712: The Swedes Kingdom 1
The Swedes Kingdom.
The soldiers of this kingdom stood on the high wall, staring at the outside anxiously, hoping that their friends would be able to return and stop the danger that was about to come to their home. Everyone prayed, unfortunately, their prayers went unanswered, and there was a red flare that was shot toward the sky.
"!!!"
Everyone was in shock, then gulped, knowing the meaning of this firework wasn"t good.
"A red signal flared from the border! They"re signaling the attack of the devil!"
"Alert to the castle! Evacuate all the civilians!" The captain of the soldier quickly reacted.
"Yes, sir!"
The captain waited anxiously until his subordinate gave him a report.
"I see them! It"s a group of devils!" The soldier looked at the group of devils moving toward his kingdom through the telescope, and he didn"t realize that his body was full of cold sweat. "Their number... roughly a hundred!"
"!!!"
"Did you say a hundred devils?!" The captain was dumbfounded, but he knew that he couldn"t panic and needed to do something!
"All personnel, man your stations! Deploy defensive magic gear!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Send an aid request from Earlshide immediately!"
"Yes, sir!"
The captain gritted his teeth, staring at the devils that were about to come to their kingdom. "But how many days will it take for the request to be delivered and reinforcement to arrive?" He then looked at his people again and shouted, "All personnel, guard these walls with your lives! Don"t let any harm come to the civilians!" He then stared at the group of devils and stared at them with killing intent. Even if he had to die, he would also let them die here too!
The group of devils that rode on the top of horses only grinned and didn"t care about the reaction of the soldiers of the Swedes Kingdom since, in their minds, a human was only an insect. They were nothing compared to them.
"Destroy the wall!"
The group of the devils laughed manically, hearing those words, and directly used their magic to destroy the wall, but the soldiers of the Swedes Kingdom didn"t let them in so easily and used a magic barrier to protect the wall.
"A magic barrier, huh?" One of the devils raised his eyebrow, but...
"Even so..."
They didn"t think that that magic barrier could stop their charge!
Haru, Shin, and everyone was flying in the sky, after the reports of the soldiers about the huge number of devils that had attacked the Swedes Kingdom during the ceremonial, but before they were on their way to the Swedes Kingdom, they announced the creation of the "Ultimate Magicians" to eliminate the devils and the demons that caused a threat to everyone in this continent.
Shin, who was flying, felt cringe at the name of their team was. "I have to say, though, "Ultimate Magicians"?"
"Nah..." August snickered and said, "I think that"s a fine team name." He then laughed since he was unable to hold it anymore.
"You told me to come up with a name on the spot!" Shin was furious. "Let me remind you that you"re part of the team too!"
"Shin, you don"t need to think too much. This name is good," Haru said simply and didn"t think too much about Shin"s embarra.s.sment.
Shin sighed and said, "Still, the name will have spread throughout the kingdom already." He knew that he could only give up and accepted that name.
"Well, Shin, we have almost reached the border. You should stay focused now," Haru said.
"Eh? Already?" Shin was dumbfounded.
"It would take us days to reach here by carriage," Alice said with a smile.
"It"s good that we have reached here quickly," August said. "Shin"s magic defense gear may be good, but it isn"t indestructible." However, he knew that only many people could destroy Shin"s magic defense gear, such as... he then glanced at Haru, who was flying beside the girls.
"Still, we"re going to fight the devil, huh? It makes me a bit nervous somehow," Maria said with a tense.
"You have already defeated the catastrophic level of demon, Maria. You are already stronger than the devil. You should believe in your strength," Haru said.
"That"s right." Shin nodded.
"Sicily, rather than fighting, can you look after the wounded?" Haru asked.
"I understand." Sicily nodded.
"As for the rest, pair up and take down the devil together," Haru said with a serious expression.
"Yes!"
It might be their imagination, but they could feel an aura that made them unable to refuse him somehow, but they had to admit that nothing was wrong with his order, and they followed subconsciously.
Haru then looked at Shin and asked, "Shin, you"re alright on your own, right?"
Shin nodded with a smile and said, "Yeah, you don"t need to worry." He didn"t think that those devils could cause harm to him. Still, he needed to be careful. After all, if he lowered his guard, he might be defeated like how he was defeated by Haru before.
Then before long, the Swedes Kingdom appeared before their eyes, but their expression became serious since they knew that this kingdom was in ma.s.sive trouble.
The soldiers of the Swedes Kingdom couldn"t even defend the walls, and they were killed directly by the group of the devils.
After the group of devils entered the Swedes Kingdom, they directly destroyed everything, burning the house with their magic, and killed everyone they saw in front of their eyes. As long as there was a human, they wouldn"t let go of them!
A woman carrying her daughter ran as fast as possible, and behind her, two devils attacked her with magic, teasing her, cornered her as if they were playing a game.
The devil laughed and shouted, "Come on, come on!" He raised his palm and kept sending out a ball of magic power one after another.
The other demon also did the same. "If you don"t run, you"ll get hit!"
*BOOOOM!*
The ball of magic caused an explosion, and the impact of the explosion threw the woman off.
"Mama!" The little girl cried loudly while her mother hugged her tightly, protecting her from the two devils that tried to kill them.
"Please don"t do this!" The woman begged.
"Huh? No more running?"
"Then I think that it"s time to ki--"
The two devils were about to end the woman and her daughter, but suddenly something from above pressed them into the earth.
*Crack!*
The sound of bone being broken into pieces was heard, and the little girl and the woman saw a wall-like barrier that pressed two devils into the flat.
"Can you stand up? Or do you need help to evacuate?"
The little girl and the woman looked at the big brother that suddenly fell from the sky. Even though his face was very ordinary, they had to admit that he gave him a sense of security, and somehow he was quite pleasing to their eyes.
Haru looked at the little girl and the woman, afraid that the woman might have already become a widow. He looked at the devils that had wrecked everything, killing everyone, and tortured them without mercy, making him sick and sigh. He thought it might be better to end all the devils right away without waiting for Shin to end them.
