Army Angel: The Dark Side

Intermission Part 4

Sitting in Singasana, the emperor saw Norberta.

"Say! Did the summoning succeed?''

"Yes, your highness! Summoning managed to summon 5 Heroes." Answer Eloy Norberta.

"Do they look strong?"

" Please forgive your Majesty. I can't confirm that yet, but from their magic energy, I can confirm that they have amazing magic seeds."

"So so. Our sacrifice is not in vain. Good."

The sacrifices were fought between the western empire and the eastern kingdom.

In the last war the death toll reached 28,000. What a fantastic number of casualties considering this was a battle between the 2 great empires of the 5 great empires in the Noersia plains.

The beginning of the battle was to fight over the eastern mountainous region bordering the gold-rich kingdom. Actually the series of pegunungan east of the Empire is a rich mountain of gold. However, the mountain range was controlled by the Eastern Kingdom which had a territory larger than the empire and was its sworn enemy.

Although the reason is clear to fight over the financial resources of the country, but behind it all there is a goal that is more important than a mountain of gold.

The real purpose of the battle was to reach as many casualties as possible to kill the Heroes.

The summoning of heroes is only done when the situation is very urgent and the required soul sacrifice is very large. Because of these conditions, and the risk of failure is very high, then this magic entered into a forbidden magic.

Although great sacrifices are made but this does not guarantee they can call heroes, because the chances of the call are only 10 percent and often fail.

So a successful summoning of 5 heroes at once is luck and an unmeasurable feat.

The Eastern Kingdom decided to try to summon the Heroes as they obtained a prophecy that the Demon Lords or monsters of destruction would rise up and would likely cause chaos.

It would even likely destroy every Kingdom. Whether which kingdom is meant, but the possibility that will be attacked first is the eastern kingdom itself.

After the Emperor got the news, immediately the empire ordered war preparations and an ultimatum challenge letter open to the kingdom to fight for the Gelber Berge mountain region, as well as ordered to perform the hero summoning ritual as well.

Not wanting to be invaded first by the Eastern Kingdom and get a big loss, the Emperor decided to attack first to get the hero along with the golden mountains.

The war lasted for 2 months. After a fierce battle between the two camps, the war was won by the empire with a death toll of 8,000 troops. While the enemy lost with a loss of approximately 20,000 lives.

The casualties in both camps are counted very much. Especially in the eastern kingdom. However, actually, the casualties are also very large for the empire considering that the imperial army is a quality army that has the military capabilities of trained soldiers that are different from the royal army, the majority of which is collected from its territories and some are not soldiers only a volunteer soldier.

But at the expense of 8000 people, the empire gained the military power of 5 heroes along with abundant gold-producing mountains.

If the legends in the Empire's records were indeed proven to be true, then a high-leveled hero himself could be likened to 3 thousand soldiers attacking simultaneously. With the existence of 5 Heroes itself on the side of the empire then arguably the emperor has 15 thousand soldiers in terms of quality 5 individuals. Therefore, the Emperor felt very lucky.

Later the Emperor received news that added to his pleasure.

"How lucky we are. Call those heroes here!" With a smile the Emperor commanded Norberta.

"Your Majesty."

"Bring those Heroes to the throne room!" Eloy Norberta immediately obeyed the Emperor's order and ordered one of his men to summon the Heroes to the throne room through her communication magic.
