Grey sky, the sun is completely invisible. The thick dark gray clouds blocked its rays. There were several people passing around the large mansion with dark blue roofs. Some demon warriors also occasionally appeared to wander around.
Braaakk....
The mansion's huge door opened violently, making everyone in there look straight at the source of the sound.
Rhodri was seen grinning, the armor had been fully mounted on his body. A silver sword with a black handle in its grasp. A horrifying grin was clearly visible on her lips, behind her Aslyn with a blank look following Rhodri. Without expression he stood still like a living human statue.
"Prepare the whole army, today we will fight against the kingdom of Aldwick and his allies!!" Rhodri's orders in a loud voice.
"Yeah...!!!" Cheers were heard from every Rhodri supporter.
Rhodri walked over quickly, she was standing in the middle of the mansion courtyard. Seen his lips began to mutter pronouncing sentences that are difficult to understand. Not long after he pointed his sword at the sky. "O damned souls, demons filled with thirst for a dirty human soul. Rise up and stand with me to take back what was promised!! Rise, RESURRECT!!!"
Ccrreeby..
Rhodri stuck his sword on the ground, slowly the ground around the mansion trembled. Before long a crack appeared where he stuck his sword, the crack began to extend and widen to form a stepped road. At the bottom of the crack was seen a hot lava flame flowing, from it appeared monsters, demons and also souls filled with hatred they walked up the stairs.
One by one they began to march, until the ground closed again as if it had never been split. Rhodri scanned the thousands of demon and monster troops before him with a wide smile filled with satisfaction. "This time, you're gonna ruin Devian." Mumbled sure.

Alice's body trembled violently, looking worriedly on Devian's and Alexis' faces. "What's going on?" Devian asked one of the healers.
"It looks like the apple is starting to react, the devil's apple is the same as the resurrection ceremony that is by eliminating the human soul. But since the Queen is a whole human being, we can only rely on the demon blood flowing in her body. His pain would exceed that of a half-demon awakening. Their human souls will be burned in the body and replaced with demon souls. If the Queen can't survive... "
"Shut your mouth!!" Devian looked at the healer fiercely. "He'll survive."
"Are you sure?" Alexis was doubtful. His red iris stared at his mother's body, a feeling of compassion seeing his mother in pain between life and death.
"I believe him." Devian grabbed Alice's wrist.
He closed his eyes and drained the energy he had. It was only a moment that Devian drained his energy that someone entered the room hurriedly.
"Sorry, Your Majesty!!" It looks like Howen is looking down to pay his respects.
"What's the Howen?" Ask Alexis.
"Rhodri has prepared his army for Aldwick." Howen.
Alexis quickly stepped away. "You stay here!!" Devian's Order.
"Staying the life energy on the Queen, I'll put it on the glass outside." Devian looked at his wife.
Jemari Devian stroked his wife's face. "You must endure!" the whisper slowly while softly peeling the wife's forehead.
Devian immediately stepped away, the red robe he had been wearing off him with a single jolt. Let the red cloak lay on the floor. "TORN!!" call Devian.
It wasn't long before Torn appeared beside Devian. "Your Majesty!!" Torn is saluting.
"Gather up all the top brass, get all the troops ready. We welcome Adrian to the Aldwick border." Devian's Order.
"Okay, Your Majesty!!" Torn is gone.
Before long Alexis had followed Devian's steps. "I'll go to war."
Devian didn't pay attention to Alexis at all. A few servants ran up to Devian in armor. Two people swiftly attached the armor to Devian's body.
"Do you ignore me?" Alexis began to raise her voice.
At the door to Aldwick's palace. Devian stopped, letting his servant restructure his armor again. "You're not ready to face them. Stay here and take care of your mother." Devian stared at his servant who walked away from him signaling their task was done.
"You underestimated me? I also have my own army, I have to save the girl."
"You can do anything after it's over, but this time I won't let you go against my orders." Devian said coldly.
"You have no right to rule me, I am King." Alexis is getting emotional.
"really? Let's see." Iris Devian lit up bright red and in an instant Alexis' body was in control. Suddenly he fell to his knees before his father. "That proves that you are still under my rule, in this kingdom you are still a prince who must obey all my commands."
*****
"Soft and cold, what is this?" Alice touched her forehead.
His body still felt hot, but the warm touch on his forehead made the pain in his body slowly disappear.
"You must endure" the echo of Devian's voice came back.
"Devian" muttered Alice trying to find the source of the Devian sound.
"I have to do something to get back." Mumbled Alice.
*****
"She said I wasn't ready? Let's just see." Alexis clenched her hands tightly.
Alexis's quick footsteps run down the corridors of the Lucery kingdom. He was trying to find a way out, but he just kept circling between the same rooms. When Alexis was confused Howen was seen coming out of one of the rooms there.
"Your Majesty!!" Howen saluted Alexis. "Sorry for all my negligence." Howen looked down full of regret.
"Can you apologize later. I gotta get out of here." Alexis seemed to be trying to figure out which way he should go.
"Just for nothing, His Highness Devian is installing magic here. No one can come out without his permission. It's to prevent the Queen's healer or guards from getting out of here." Howen.
"He's even prepared it so far." Alexis was in disbelief. "Then should I just shut up? I have to save the girl."
"I object to your decision."
"You don't usually oppose my decision." Alexis sat on the floor leaning against the walls of the black Stone.
"Because of him, you almost died. I hate him!"
"As always, you're always honest Howen. But thanks to him I survived too. How'this? I don't like to be indebted. Don't you want to help me? What if this is my order?" Alexis glanced towards Howen.
"I will carry out all your orders. But, with your current condition it is impossible if you advance in the war." explains Howen. "I will oppose anything that endangers your life. Because my job is to protect and protect you."
Alexis breathed a heavy sigh. "You're right, even I've run out of sense to persuade you." Alexis Mumbled.

Within hours the demons had set up tents along the Aldwick border. Some demons were seen starting to forge their weapons. Prepare war chariots that will be used by Devian and also the commander and general who will participate in the war.
Several human soldiers passed by transporting supplies from large wagons to storage tents. Treatment tents are also expected in minutes. Not to forget, the largest main tent among other tents had also stood up.
Inside, the tables and chairs have been arranged in such a way. All the high officials of the demon lord had been present sitting quietly waiting for the King to start the war meeting this time around. Before long Devian walked into the tent, with quick footsteps he sat on an empty chair. "Torn, how's it going?"
Torn stood up and saluted, he swung his hand in front of the table and the entire empty table suddenly turned into a vast, lively field. "Right now that the enemy army was on its way, the route they were about to cross was the forest of darkness. If we block them right out of the woods... "
"They must have predicted it, Adrian wouldn't fall into the same trap." Cut Devian. "Send an army of spies and archers into the forest of darkness. Finish one by one their troops without Adrian knowing, at least we reduce the number of enemy troops."
"But, it would be very dangerous if they were caught." One of the military leaders.
"Therefore I say not to be caught. Besides even if we can't attack, the spy team will give a report on the enemy troops." Devian. "Then, what is the strategy on the battlefield? I think Adrian will bring his army of stupid demons again." Devian Murmuring.
"Their demonic forces are no match for Lucery's army. We won wars hundreds of times over centuries."
"Don't underestimate them, we don't know Adrian's powers." Devian Murmuring.
"What if we put an army with a long-distance ahlian here." Torn pointed at a plateau higher than the other plains. "The archers' squad, the witch demons as well as the special-capable demons."
"Good, put an army of speed and dexterity on the front lines. Use the big-bodied demons to protect them. The troops who have the strength of the weaponry will advance with me. Is it clear?" Ask Devian.
All nodded in agreement with Devian's plan. "All right, all back to position." Devian's Order.
Devian stared intently out the window. "From Adrian, this time I will make sure your soul will be blurred even hell will reject you." Devian muttered furiously.
