Chapter 350 Begin Of War
The soldiers at the outpost had boring days for the past few years. Aside from some monsters attack, there is nothing else to be done in the outpost.
It come to the point some of the soldiers wishing for there to be a action elsewhere, to curb them of their boredom.
"This is so boring. There is nothing to do here," one of the soldiers complained, his eyes trained to the forest.
"There is no helping it. After all, this outpost is to protect against, or serve ss a warning bell against the demon," another soldier replied.
Few years prior, a survivor of a monster's attack had been taken in by the army. He had told them that a demon is the cause of all it before dying to fear and stress.
The results is the mass mobilization of the soldiers of Astor Kingdom, with an entire army being sent to the border of Lunos and Astor, to keep their eyes on the sudden moves by the demon.
However, from the lack of action recently, the demon either a figment of the man's imagination or that it had been gathering strength to launch an attack to the Astor Kingdom.
"I still think the demon thing is a bogus, and the man hallucinate and was seeing thing," the first soldier said.
The other one was about to reply when he see something at the corner of his eyes. Turning around, the sight that greet him froze him in fear.
And not just him, it did not take long for the other soldiers to see it, causing some to kneel in fear and terror.
Heading towards the outpost is a large monster force, one greater than have ever seen. The worse part is not the assortment of monsters, with number that could reach up to hundreds of thousands, but instead the figure who is flying above the army of monsters, the being malicious aura can be sense from a large distant.

"Oh, my, lord,"
"Quickly! Sound the bell!" Your next journey awaits at empire
'Then again, it's likely the demon will not care for the monsters,' the Commander thought. After all, it seem to be the common theme of any stories regarding demons, in that they are very selfish being, one that will use anything and anyone and discard them the moment they no longer of use.
Still, knowing such thing will not help his men. He need to do as much damage to monsters forces as he could.
As he pondered over the best way to inflict the greatest amount of casualties, the monsters arrive at the walls, already draining and filling the trench with dirt and dead bodies of their fellow monsters.
Seeing them being so close, the Commander decided to no longer be indecisive and shouted his lungs out.
"Men! We will die today, I will not lie you about that. But, will you die as cowards who flee from overwhelming forces, or will you die as soldiers of the Kingdom?!" his words ignite the blood of his men, all roaring in fury and rage as they prepare to fight against the monsters of the demon.
And so, the 500 strong men of the outpost clashed against the hundred of thousands monsters, as steel ring against stones, woods and bones, both side doing their best to slaughter one another.

"What a great man. Too bad you are my enemies," Alros muttered, watching as the Goblins began to remove the equipment of the soldiers. As for the bodies themselves, while he did not care for it, to give them for his monsters to feed on is horrible, even for him.
Instead, he had the monsters build a pyre, so they could burn the bodies as burying them will took too much time, one they did not have. After all, the army at the border should have hear the ringing bell.
Lira had told him the meaning of each ringing. If it is ringed three times, it mean a large invasion forces had appeared. Since that was the case, there will be scouts sent by the main army of the border.
Sure enough, his mana sense allow him to detect the presence of few men riding horses just out of sight.
They clearly possess abilities to see further than what should be possible, as they quickly retreated without getting any closer.
The Archdemon sigh, before a twisted smile formed on his handsome face.
"Well then, General Soren. Let me see, whether you can entertain me or not? Will you able to cause heavy casualties or will you crumble under the waves of monsters heading your way?"
