Chapter 16 – The War Part 1

4 months before the war.

Maford…

All the people of Maford gather at the front of the Temple of the Celestial of Darkness – Tagruer -. Most of the people wore a dark crimson robe, *well because it’s a cult thing*

Hedley: “TODAY!!! WE SET SAIL TO THE UPPER CONTINENT.!!

KILL THEM, SLAUGHTER THEM, WE WILL DRINK THEIR BLOOD,

OFFER THEIR SOUL TO OUR GOD, THE CELESTIAL OF DARKNESS – TAGRUER-

WE’LL TORTURE ALL OF THEIR MEN, SAVAGE THEIR WOMEN, AND

LET THEIR CHILDREN BE SLAVES!!!

THIS!! IS THE TIME, OF A NEW KING TO RISE!! THE WEAK WILL BE

DEVOUERED AND WE, THE STRONG WILL BATH IN THEIR

BLOODS! NOW SET OFF AND CLAIM THAT LAND..”

All the people shouts for reply, sounds of heavy foots steps, metal crashing, the warm breeze of the nearby shore, the sky getting dark. In Hedley’s thought “This is a sign, from the God Tagruer.”

All the men from Maford set sails to the upper continent, the ships where loaded with blood thirsty people, and diffirent kinds of monsters. Some ships were pulled by Sea Serpents, and the others were pulled by Large Monster Fish.

***

Upper Continent.

All the army from the three city ( Ceray, Coabluff, Khabad) were now in front of the Cathedral, they where are kneeling and praying.

Pope: “We Thanked the Divine Providence Elous, for giving us the Holy Sword, and we will forever be greateful.”

“We pray at the Celestial of Heaven – Dadea -, please give us the strength to defend our land, and our people. Give our soldiers the courage to vanquish our enemy for the sake of this land.”

A few minutes of silence. . . . . .

After that, the Kings gave them a speech. And lastly it was Captain Aslar.

Aslar: “I Captain Aslar of the 2nd division of the Knights and Paladins, swore to you, good people of Khabad, Coabluff and Ceray. That I will never let those barbaric people from Maford, to have our land, for ounce we will take this battle head on, never give up, never lose hope. The Celestial of Heaven is with us, I am with you. As long as I am here, as long as we have the Holy Sword, I will never let this country be a pool of innocent blood. WE WILL WIN THIS WAR!!!!” and dramatically pointed the Holy Sword up in the sky, and a lightning bolt strikes the Sword showing its power.

All of the woman and child were evacuated at the top of the continent, in the City of Ceray. Ships were now sailing to the Fathomless Sea (Far South of Khabad), and the rest started to move to the lower part of the continent, it was about 3 months of travel from Khabad to the lower part of the continent.

***

Aslar..

We all went back to the barracks near the river, this river was near to the end of the continent. Below the river was a land with tropical tress, far below that was a plain grass land and small hills, next was the shore. Some of our troops were stationed below the river; we also planted some magical traps on the plain grass land.

Scout: “Sir, the enemies had reached the shore.”

Aslar: “Sound the Alarm, and be Prepared.”

King Lucius: “Hahaha, this is going to be a great battle.”

King Gallio: “Stop joking around. Every time that you will fight, you always get excited. *sigh*”

King Lucius: “Well, I can’t help this feeling.”

I and the Kings came out of the barracks; a loud sound can now be heard. The sound of the alarm made everyone nervous; a lot was still praying, some were shaking, and now being scared. The moral of the people were at the lowest point, I can sympathy with them, this is also my first war, but a lot has happened when I was training inside the unknown Dungeon, I lost a lot of good comrades in that place. I realized that, I should not rely on the strength of the Holy Sword and my equipment alone, I also need my companions to look at my back, and I will also look at theirs. It helped me open my eyes, which I need to strive harder, to get strong so that my comrades can rely on me when they need me the most.

I then went in front of the army and called their attention. Before I speak I activated [Holy Body] to all of the army, it’s one of the buffs that I’ve learned from the past years of training. It helps one to gather courage, and a boost of strength. After I activated the spell they’ve all calmed down.

Aslar: “REMEMBER PEOPLE, THAT WE ARE BLESSED WITH THE DIVINE PROVIDENCE ELOUS AND CELESTIAL OF HEAVEN DADEA. WE WILL NOT LET OUR EFFORTS GO TO WASTE; WE CANNOT LET THOSE ANIMALS TAKE OUR HOME, OUR FAMILY, OUR CHILDREN.”

“WILL YOU LET THEM HAVE THEIR WAY WITH THE CITY THAT WE BUILD WITH OUR BLOOD, OUR FLESH? WILL YOU LET THEM HAVE YOUR WIVES, YOUR CHILDREN BE A SLAVE FOR THEIR DESIRES?”

Army: “no..”

Aslar: “WHAT??”

Army: “NOOOO!!!! WE WILL NOT LET THEM.”

Aslar: “NEVER FORGET THAT I AM HERE, KING LUCIUS, KING GALLIO..”

“AND DON’T FORGET WHOS BY YOURSIDE, LOOK TO AROUND YOU, YOU HAVE YOUR COMRADES, YOUR BROTHERS, YOUR FAMILIES,

WATCH THEIR BACKS, AND THEY WILL WATCH YOURS.”

“NOW GO TO YOUR STATIONS AND PREPARE FOR WAR!!!!”

On that place a battle cry can be heard from miles.

***

The night was young, cold breeze from the ocean can be felt; the sound of the waves from the shore can be heard. All the ships were now docked, splash of water and footsteps were everywhere. And only one voice can be heard.

Hedley: “Scout the surrounding, load out all the stinking monsters. I’m

sure that they’re all hungry for fresh meat,. HAHAHA!!!”

The rouges used the skill [Shadow Blend], their body was now covered in a black smoke, and this skill was very useful when the night falls. The rouges starts to move and they are now moving in the shadows, cannot be heard, and cannot be seen.

Other men started to open the cages inside the ships. Banging, whipping, and growls of huge monster were playing.

The men put a huge wooden plank at the sides of the ships; they started whipping the monsters to move it out of the ship.

Man: “Move, your ugly ass, move.” As he whips the monsters that has collars and chains attached to its neck..

The monsters were huge.

Man: “arrgghh.. What a pain in the ass is this, you want to eat right? So move your ass to the shore you ugly trolls.” The troll took a lot of whipping but it seems like some of the trolls were not affected by it.

Hedley bring different sub-species of trolls.

1 - The biggest troll was the Mountain troll, with a body of a fat adult human, with rocky skins, and holding a club like rock. About 5 to 6 meters tall.

2 – Blood troll, probably the weakest troll, about 2.5 meters tall. With crimson red color of the skin, equipped with wooden clubs, they only suck out blood of their pray. They’re more likely to hunt in groups, and when thy’re hungry for blood, that’s when their strength doubles.

3 – Swamp troll, green in color, with lumps of flesh at their back, the ugliest of all trolls (I’m sure of it). They spit out poisonous saliva, and they were also called suicide trolls. When they got killed, a special part of their intestine releases a chemical, and when that chemical is released their intestine bloated and then explodes. They will release a flammables gas, and when it ignites, the damage of the explosion will be tripled.

4 – Sea trolls, a troll that adapted to the environment of the ocean. They wield spears as weapons, they have a dark blue skin color, and some of them have sea shells that were wrapped on seaweeds for camouflage. And because they were used in fighting underwater, the pressure helped them improved when they’re on land, because they can strike fast, and they are the second fastest troll.

5 – The Elder Troll, they are more of a Hybrid Beast. (maybe some troll raped a beast, and that’s where the elder troll came out.) The elder troll’s name came from its appearance; it has a long white fur on its chin that looks like an old man’s beard, with sharp teeth, long claws like a beast. (Imagine a werewolf with white fur, but less fur)

***

Scout: “My Lord, there are magical mines all over the grassy plains.”

Hedley: “Good job scouting, well just send the Mountain Trolls in the front lines.”

Suddenly they’ve heard a loud battle cry.

Hedley: “HAHAHA, getting high hopes of winning this was, pathetic..”

“MEN, SEND OUT THE MOUNTAIN TROLL!!! LET THEM CLEAR OUT THE MAGIC MINES. HAHAHAHA. AFTER ALL THE MINES WERE CLEARED, SEND THE SWAMP TROLLS, THEN THE BLOOD TROLLS, AND THE SEA TROLLS AND THE ELDER TROLLS, LET THEM HAVE A FEAST!!! HAHAHA.”

Elous taken a nap after he had played with Selena, he was now alone on the bed, because Selena goes back to her job. Selena also did shut’s her eyes, but Elous has a habit of “OVER” sleeping.

***

Outside Elous’s room.

Cassandra: “Let’s go!! Let’s wake God”

Diana: “Hey Cassandra, hold on to your horses.” As Diana hold the back of Cassandra’s armor, and picks her up.

Cassandra: “W-why?” with teary eyes

Selena: “It’s because you’re going to do that “wakeup call” again to God.”

Cassandra just sticks out her tongue like a child.

Marzanna: “hihi *giggles* , we should just wake God in a normal way. Let’s go inside, the war is about to start.”

Cassandra: *sigh* “okay, okay. Diana, please put me down.” Diana obeyed Cassandra and gentle put her down.

Cassandra: “Now, let’s wake that sleepy head God, hihihihi” as she push open the double doors of Elous’s Room.

***

‘hmmm, I felt presence inside my room, must be them waking me up, but I still want to sleep, and lay on this soft bed. hmmmmm’

“ouhhhhhh” air escaped through my mouth. When I opened my eyes, Cassandra was not on top of me, seem like she jumped, and landed on my body.

Marzanna: “Hey, big-sis Cassandra, that’s not a normal way to wake someone up.”

Diana sent a flying fist to Cassandra’s head. “uhhhwaaa, hey Diana, hold back a little.”

Diana was glaring at Cassandra with red eye, and was emitting a black aura.

Cassandra: “Okay, okay.. I’m sorry.. hmmm God please forgive me.” As she lean forward, and our lips met each other.

Diana sends another fist to on top of Cassandra’s head. “ouch”

Diana: “You’re being unfair, and I’m sure that you planned it from the start.” Cassandra just replied with a tongue “Bleeeeh”

Marzanna: “uhmmm, I – I… I want a kiss from God too.” She lowered her head with red cheeks, being shy as always.

Selena: “To be fair, I demand that we should get a kiss from God.” *what!! When did Selena became that kind of a person –Elous*

Diana: “ haha, Good thinking Selena.” And Diana gave Selena a thumb up, with a full smile.

*sigh* I just gave a wryly smile at them. I gave each of them a light kiss on their lips. And now they all have pinkish red cheeks, they all have different cute expressions; my heart was pounding like crazy. Having four beautiful angels right by my side makes me happy, I didn’t even notice that I was smiling on my own. hahaha

Selena: “ohhh, I almost forgot, my God the war is about to start.”

Marzanna: “Nn, that’s why we are her to wake you up.”

“haha, thank you my Valkyries, now let’s go and watch the war.”

They all nod at me.

***

We teleported to the Floating Island of Eclipse where the home of the Celestials were. We were greeted by Dadea, Evrasil and Yhhena. I asked my Celestials to call the other Celestials, within seconds they all vanished with magic.

I erected a building next to the temple of the Celestials, the theme was also like a temple build in granite and other smooth rocks, in the middle was a huge fountain, and on top of that fountain was a huge sphere of water that will serves as a monitor. *I didn’t put a Flat screen tv, cuase there is no tv in this world, yet maybe.. I just want to stick on an old magical themed monitor.LOL* Around the fountain were lazy chairs, cause I want to relax while watching this war, and eat some pop corn. Well for Etarr, he got a hot magma chairs that will suite him perfectly, I put a temperature barrier so that the heat will just be on the rage of the chair, and for Evrasil, he got a BIIIGGG cushion.

After that I turn on the big monitor, and put different perfective in it. I put one at the champions (Hedley & Aslar), another for both the armies, and multiply bird’s eye view. *like multiple channels on the same screen* Hmmmm I think its all set.

A few minutes later, the Celestials entered the building, and in a line they all bowed and kneel before me,.

Celestials: “We greet thee, the All Mighty God, Our Creator, The Divine Providence Elous.”

“hahaha, good thing that you all came, I know some of you are busy and all, I gave you all my thanks for coming here. Want some fried chicken wings maybe?”

Dadea: “No, it’s our pleasure to accompany you...” Cut off.

Etarr: “Yes, my God, we loved to accompany you, and watch the war with you, and if I may ask, what’s that? Smells good.”

Tagruer: “I feel hungry all of a sudden.”

Evrasil: “It’s the wing of a chicken, marinated in some kind of flour with herbs and spices as seasoning, then fried in oil.”

“yeah, quite right Evrasil.”

Etarr: “hohoho, I want one.”

Dadea: “Hmph,” Dadea flicked Etarr’s hand before he can get one chicken, a bit mad for cutting her sentence off.

Etarr: “Hey, what was that for,tsk.. Anyway I would love to take a bite on this chicken wing.” As he grab one, and took it with one bite..

“Hmmmmmm, better than eating souls.”

Yhhena: “I’m sorry my God, but can I please pass on this one?”

Voslene: “Me too, please forgive us for refusing, the oil seems bad to my complexion.”

Ohh shit I forgot that, Yhhena is the Celestial of Plants and Animals, that chicken wing is a no!no!, and Voslene is the Celestial of water surely the oil will be bad for her.

“hmmm, I got an idea.”

With a swoop of a hand, I was now carrying different kinds of chocolate, from dark, to brown and white.

Yhhena: “Hmmm smells sweet and delicious.”

Voslene and Yhhena took each a bar of chocolate and take a bite, and after that, they take another bite and another. They are now drooling.

Voslene: “ahhhh, the sweet taste that melts inside your mouth. This thing is to die for.”

Someone was tagging my armor from the back, and when I look who it was, it was Marzanna with a drooling face and sparkling eyes. I also gave her a chocolate.

“Here you go Marzanna.” After I gave her one, I pat her head.

Marzanna was now smiling and munching at the chocolate like a hamster munching on sunflower seeds. Her expression was soooo kawaii.. J

After that I led them to their seats..

Etarr: “wow, this chair really suites what I like, hahaha, warm and cozy, thank you my God.

“hahaha, it’s nothing.” After that I created different kinds of food and beverages. And now the show was about to start, I dimmed the light inside the building, to make it more of a cinema type.. LOL
