May 6, 1163 Zaenium.
Southern Red Cliff Forest, Servini Kingdom, Beastman Empire Marhamzan.
Daytime.
Laciel teleported to this place along with Hazura and Yagwar.
“If not wrong, this is where we met for the first time, ‘kan?” ask Yagwar.
“True. That was 9 days ago. But since then, we have experienced many things,” Laciel replied.
[Chapter 44: Duel and Meeting I]
They fly towards Servini Kingdom, with Hazura holding Yagwar.
“Down or will we shoot!” threaten the Deer soldiers at the Capital Fortress.
“So, is this the Capital City of the Kingdom of Servini?” laciel muttered.
In front of them was a large octagonal city surrounded by two layers of high walls at its periphery. And beyond it are thousands of acres of farms and fields.
“Stone once,” ketus the soldier. “Shoot them!” his orders.
The dozens of Deer warriors holding bows immediately prepared arrows then shot towards the three of them.
Klang's! Klang's! Klang's!
The arrows shot out quickly, but bounced when it was about to hit Laciel and the others. There was a thin membrane reflecting it, that was Laciel's Absolute Barrier.
“Khafirium. Fear.”
As soon as the spell was over, most of the Deer warriors fell to their knees. Their legs shook and were unable to support their weight. There are also fainting and some are reflex running because of fear.
Laciel flew close to the fortress, but did not land and was still at the top. Trying to show his strength and power.
“Call your leader,” his orders to those soldiers.
Many left the fort. Almost everything, except the one that fainted on the spot.
“Laciel, please hold back, huh? At least, as a friend of his son,” pinta Yagwar.
“I no longer care,” firmly Laciel. “Time we stay a little, and I'll eradicate whatever gets in the way. If he is indeed a partner, then he must show it directly.”
A group of Deer soldiers came to the fort. They wore metal armor and carried weapons like spears and arrows, surrounding a person in their midst. The Great Servus.
“You! You are the Demon King of the East, ‘kan?! I don't care what you want. Get out of here, I feel the consequences!” shout Servus.
“This is the Great Servus? Turns out he was just a coward who took refuge behind his soldiers.” Laciel.
“You!”
“So, you intend to side with the Emperor? If so, I will finish you here,” Laciel said.
“You know nothing! Two of my children kidnapped them. In order for them to survive, naturally I must side with them! Can't you even think clearly?”
‘Isn't he the one who doesn't seem to be thinking clearly?’ inner Laciel.
“Hazura, protect me for a moment.”
“Good, Your Highness.”
Laciel cast a spell.
“What do you want to do? Everyone, attack him!” Servus commanded his army.
“Hiya!”
The Deer Warrior charged towards them.
Hazura fended off their spear attack with her spear taken from the inventory. His spear could easily destroy the enemy's weapons, shields and armor as it was one of the 7 Artifacts of the Devil World.
Not a single soldier was able to break through Hazura's defensive line. While behind Laciel had already finished his spell. Now a crack opens in the sky. From there came dozens of monsters.
“Tower of Mana!” Laciel used another spell to help him. His magic energy was quickly depleted with just that one spell alone.
Laciel's Demon Army immediately helped Hazura. Seeing that there was no chance, Servus chose to turn around and take out a thousand steps.
“I won't let you escape,” Laciel said.
Laciel began chanting another magic spell. A magic circle was formed in front of him. The circle was black with a terrifying aura emitting out from it. Even the effect was more sinister compared to the previous Fear Skill.
The magic circle was perfectly formed then gave rise to ten chains with black aura and began to wrapped around Servus' body and all of his troops. Each chain has a different use. Some were absorbing magic energy, withstanding power, restraining movement, and others.
“Ugh! I surrender!” shouted Servus in a desperate tone.
However, Laciel did not care about it.
“Laciel.” Yagwar held his shoulder.
He's a little snapped.
“That's enough,” says Yagwar.
Laciel stopped too. Lowering hand. The magic circle in front of him disappeared. The remaining spells of Portal and Tower of Mana are still active.
...*****...
May 6, 1163 Zaenium.
The King's Palace, the Capital of Servini Kingdom, the Beastman Empire Marhamzan.
Nightfall.
Laciel sat on the throne of the king. The size of the throne was huge as it was indeed used by Deer Beastmen that were higher than ordinary Humans.
In front of him gathered the Servini Royal Council, Yagwar, and some of his own subordinates. The one on his side was sitting on a chair on the edge of the room. The Servini Royal Council stands in the middle. It's like a high school kid being punished in an OSIS room.
Laciel tapped his black sihr stick onto the floor. He rarely used it because without a helper magic wand alone his magic power was already great.
“Gentlemen, I want to ask you, just one time.”
Laciel's hanging speech increased the tension in the throne room.
“Who would you like to follow?” tanyakanya. “The Lion Emperor is holding your King and Prince hostage? Or, the Demon King who is on your King's side?” inexplicably.
All the board members were nervous. They're sweating cold. Wet their soft clothes.
It should have been easy for them to answer Laciel's question. However, most of them were more obedient to Servus than Viksen. Their egos are also high, as tall as their horns.
No one answered Laciel's question. Anybody.
“Enter them into prison,” Laciel said.
His subordinate demons also carried out his orders. They keep their mouths shut.
There is only one who says, “Death to you, Devil.”
Outside, the Demon army still arrived even into the night. The one who originally wanted to protect, now looked like an invasion.
All parties have prepared themselves. And this war will soon reach its peak.
