Queen Without Crown

Chapter 116 The Battle Continues

The Daemonie troops who attacked the Angsana army were warriors who had magic abilities. They transform into beings who have more power than normal humans. Some of them took the form of a half-animal human. They completely combined their physical skills and magic power.

When the Elfian army came, the Daemonies were massacring the remnants of the Angsana army. About seventy percent of the Angsana Kingdom troops defending their borders in the region have been killed.

Duars..

A giant catapult belonging to the Daemonies again destroyed the Angsana formation. His big bullets hit the exhausted soldiers and then collapsed to the ground. The ground on the river bank became a landslide. The stones clog the flow of water so that the turbid water overflows.

King Satria spurred his horse faster and broke through the battle. There was a look of relief on the tired faces of Angsana warriors who had fought all night under the rain.

Although arguably their arrival was too late, but the presence of the Elfian troops could at least foster the spirit of the Angsana army again.

Ssiiing..

Arrows flew from the bows stretched out by the Elfian warriors. Several Daemonie warriors fell from the backs of the squama.

Trang..

The fight becomes more balanced. Especially when the big catapult belonging to the Daemonie successfully overturned.

Eldrige jumped off his horse by pointing his sword towards the dog-headed creature that wanted to pounce on King Satria from behind.

Sreet. cras.

Graaa..

A human half-dog growl blared as the sword in Eldrige's hand slashed through the monster's neck. The head of the monster drooped almost severed with blood pouring down. As the monster collapsed, it slowly became human again.

"Thank you, Eldrige." King Satria smiled from the back of his horse right after he had knocked a Daemonie warrior to the ground with a hole in his chest that spurted blood.

The combined Elfian and Angsana forces finally succeeded in repelling the Daemonie army before afternoon. Soldiers exhausted from fighting for hours now rest on the banks of the Banger River, which borders the Angsana Kingdom with free passage between kingdoms.

Under the darkening sky they gathered around a campfire whose wood they gathered from the dry pine branches along the river.

Then they ate from the rest of the provisions in the form of dry bread. Angsana soldiers served grilled fish, but they ate without taste. The dinner was quiet because they were too tired to talk.

However, King Satria and King Purnama sat face to face in front of the tent and chatted. Although their victory this time could not be too proud but the Full King insisted on celebrating. King Purnama poured wine for King Satria and tried to convince him to drink.

When King Satria refused, King Purnama put the cup into King Satria's palm and squatted his hand forcing him to drink.

"A man should drink." The Full King smirked. The cut on his cheek stretched as the man's lips formed a smile.

Eldrige who was sitting a little far away noticed the behavior of the somewhat disrespectful Full King. But King Satria's reaction was unexpected. The man lifted his cup and put it on his lips and gulped the contents.

The full King was satisfied. He often heard rumors that the current Elfian king was not drinking wine, but it turned out that it was all just a rumor.

The King of Satria did take a sip of his drink but he did not swallow it, but without the knowledge of the Full King, he secretly mocked it.

King Satria poured wine into the cup of the Full King and the man immediately gulped it down.

"The palace of Angsana has been captured by the Daemonies. " The voice of the Full King sounded bitter.

King Satria inevitably ended up looking at the man with pity.

"My family didn't even survive. " The Full King's lips quivered and tears streamed down his injured cheek.

"Sorry, I don't know. What about the Angsana people? "

"Thousands of people have been slaughtered by those monsters. Some managed to escape. We're here to help people who want to go by crossing the river." His spit was bitter and his throat was choked.

"We have to try to take the palace back. " Said King Satria.

"But how? Today we survived very lucky. "

"There's gotta be a way, man." Enthusiastic words slid from the lips of King Satria.

The Full King nodded his head as tears streamed down his cheeks.

King Satria still accompanied King Purnama for the next hour to listen to the outpouring of the Full King's heart. When the moon was rising from the top of his head, King Satria was ready to rest.

"Didn't His Majesty not drink wine? " Eldrige can't wait to ask what's holding her heart.

"That's called manners, Eldrige. I can't possibly refuse the full King's request outright."

Eldrige nodded in understanding. Although he lived much longer than King Satria, there were still some things he learned from the Elfian leader.

"Eldrige, haven't you been able to use the dimensional hole? "

"It's a pity not yet, Your Majesty. Queen Malea has locked all paths since the Daemonies infiltrated. "

"Ah, I'm worried about my wife and my daughter."

Eldrige nodded. He was worried about the same thing. Especially since she heard that Princess Juwita's school was attacked.

"I... " Eldrige tried to find a way. Suddenly his face beamed while staring at the face of King Satria.

"Hows it? " Ask the King of Satria when he saw the change in Eldrige's face.

"I think we can ask Queen Malea for help with scrying." Without waiting for King Satria's reaction, Eldrige immediately placed the index tip on his temple. He immediately concentrated on contacting Queen Malea.

"What's up, Eldrige? " The soft voice of a woman greets Eldrige's ears.

"Can His Majesty help us to see the situation of Queen Gita and Princess Juwita? "

"Of course, Eldrige."

Eldrige opened his eyes. The darkness around them was suddenly shrouded in a glowing white mist. The fog spread and enveloped them.

Suddenly before their eyes was seen the Elfian palace tower. Both bodies seemed to float closer to the tower. Then without warning, their bodies slid down and caused a turbulent sensation in the stomach.

Now they seemed to be walking in the corridors of the palace. To the right they look clumps of roses wet with dew that looks shimmering in the moonlight.

They arrived in front of the king's room. Eldrige decided to let King Satria alone, the elf turned his gaze away.

King Satria as if through the door and suddenly was already in his own room. His eyes stared at the body of a woman standing in front of the window, looking back at him.

It was the body of the woman he loved so much. She is Queen Gita, his wife.

"Dear." The two hands of King Satria clasped the woman's body but seemed to embrace the air.

The woman remained standing staring out the window unaware of her husband's presence. Queen Gita looked pensive while occasionally stroking her stomach.

The woman looks so beautiful and soft. He misses that woman very much. Missed the woman's body in her arms.

Realizing that he was not really there, King Satria now just stood right beside his wife's body. The man tried to sniff the scent of the woman's body but all he smelled was the smell of wet grass.

Meanwhile Eldrige who was outside the king's room, suddenly seemed to move. Now he's in a dark room. Light enters from the window that is left open. The window curtain seemed to sway slowly in the wind.

A canopied bed stood in the middle of the room. The mosquito net fabric that dangled all the way to the floor fluttered softly.

Eldrige walked over and his eyes caught the figure of someone lying on the bed. Eldrige's body broke through the mosquito net and was glued to the face of a sleeping girl.

The girl's eyes were closed with a smooth breathing sound as her lungs pumped oxygen and made her chest rise and fall regularly.

"Jewith." Eldrige's voice resembles d*sahan's.

His chest was pounding. He never knew that the feeling of longing could be so excruciating. It was as if there was a fire igniting his soul. His body was instantly engulfed by a vibration that made him almost unable to control himself.

Eldrige sat down next to the bed and looked at the plain face. He could not hold his hand to touch her. But his fingers just escaped through the girl's face.

Eldrige soon realized that this was just a scrying effect. Queen Malea had already kindly given him the chance to see her lover.

*****

Princess Juwita suddenly woke up. Her lentic eyelashes gnaw like the flapping of a butterfly's wings. He's feeling a little uneasy. He just dreamed that Eldrige would come visit him.

The mosquito net that covered his bed moved in the wind. The soft sound of friction caused when the mosquito net was patting the side of the bed caused a strange feeling.

Then he lifted his back and sat down. There was a strange sensation, as if someone touched his face until his skin felt bristled. The touch felt foreign as well as familiar.

The touch spread fine until it stroked his lips. His heartbeats grew faster when suddenly the shadow of Eldrige flashed in his eyes again.

Finally the girl closed her eyes and enjoyed her imagination.

*****

A group of troops was seen moving down the cliff near Wira Sukma forest. The army consisted of Daemonie soldiers who rode squama and armed various weapons.

Then some group followed behind. The next group looked even more special. They rode elephant, a giant elephant with long tusks that almost jutted to the ground. The ears of the animal were decorated with earrings made of iron.

On top of the animal's body was a chair that was given a canopy. A high-ranking Daemonie was sitting on that chair. And a coachman sat in front to control the elephantas.

There were about a hundred elephas in the entourage. And behind him was a troupe that rode a dracon. The beast was shiny and could spit fire from its mouth. The animal's nostrils sometimes emit smoke that smells of burning.

And although they currently walk on all four clawed legs, they are able to fly by flapping wings similar to bat wings.

The motorcade then broke up when it was already on the border of the Kingdom League territory. They took two different routes. One of them entered the territory of the Nord Kingdom.

Queen Malea lowered her hand. The entire scene before him instantly disappeared. Her soft face looked riled up.

"It's time."
