Elius' Palace.
Elius and Nekabudzer stood before all his demons.The Gorts, numbering in the thousands, were obediently waiting for an order from Elius.
“Tonight, we're going to war. I want, everything to destroy whatever is in Metis cloud. Make that useless palace crumble!”
Elius's words disarm Gort's thoughts. Thousands of creatures are indeed synonymous with damage and destruction to anything they see and go through. In addition to the words of Elius, it makes the demon creature more and more. And the cheers of the soldiers of his followers, increasingly make the atmosphere of war more vibrant.
“Whatever Sir's orders. We will do it!” said one of Gort in the form of a buffalo.
“That you guys should do. I want, you guys do the things I want,” said Elius smiling obliquely.
Gort's army turned back, and the number of thousands now left the palace of Elius. Heading to the cloud palace of Metis, their minds were already baptized by the evil brain of Elius.
“You see Nekabudzer. According to your orders, we will make a great war this time. And this is the biggest war we have ever fought after hundreds of thousands have passed!”
Nekabudzer and Elius watched every beat of Gort's steps. Those big horned bodies, really are very destructive. Even the walls of Elius' palace they dared to damage it. The rumbling sound of their steps was so loud it sounded.
“Ehm ..., this time you really want to destroy the cloud palace of Metis at once by getting Lausius. I can't hold you back, except to support you!”
“It should!” elius Sahut. “Whatever I do, you have to support me. If I can conquer Lausius, then I make sure you no longer need to protect me.”
Nekabudzer. “If not for my agreement with the great Lord (Dad Elius?) I won't do any of this.”
Nekabudzer glanced at Elius, the man silently watching Elius' face on a devious mission.
“You see. What are they doing?”
Patriarch Zhu and Zurry watched Elius and his Master's palace from a hill not far from Elius's.
Both of them flew, watching the steps of the thousands of Gort that had been influenced by Elius.
“Supreme lord Patriarch Zhu. What we should do now. Are we going to join Elius in attacking the cloud palace of Metis?”
Patriarch Zhu shook his head, as his hands played a long ring that looked like a fingernail. In his hands, everything he could do without having to buttress on others.
“I don't want to dirty my hands just for this little mission. Conquering that young Lausius, I just need to snap a finger.”
“But, Lord Arch. Day ....”
“Ssst ..., don't discuss the child's advantages in front of me. Don't spoil my happiness of seeing this epic story.”
Patriarch Zhu said, It is indeed difficult to refute. Zurry wouldn't dare say if he had asked to be quiet.
Constantly watching Elius and Nekabudzer, the woman smiled with a snort.
His fingers could not stand still, as if asking the owner of the body to quickly cast magic, or raise his sword. Patriarch Zhu's hands began to act, provoking his Master.
“You see. They will attack. We follow them from behind.”
Back Patriarch Zhu said. His attention was still on the flapping wings of Elius and Nekabudzer. The two men had already left their palace, following his soldiers who were made up in two parts. Gort and other general forces. A useless soldier.
The followers of Elius, so eager to fight. Patriarch Zhu's interest in participating in this war, will not be at all slack.
After a low flight, Elius rode his horse. So devious was Elius at his concentration that Elius was unaware of the presence of Patriarch Zhu and Zurry. The two demons had already observed their movements from the very beginning.
“Come. We follow them,” take this woman.
Down, the two also rode horses. Elius is already away.
The sound of Elius's horse-whispering sounded so vigorous and dashing. That night's battle, it felt more terrible than any previous one.

Jessica was in Sean's room, the boy helped Sean pair his elaborate clothes. Rather meticulous and trained, every detail of Sean's clothes, Jessica noticed the details.
“Is this outfit not too big, Jessica?” sean asked for an opinion.
Jessica replied. “I think you fit this outfit so well. Not greatness or smallness, instead you are more dashing.”
“Really?”
Jessica nodded. “I said honestly.”
Sean looked at himself again in the mirror. Sure enough, actually Sean seems to fit the clothes. After noticing himself, Sean turned around.
“Let's go out. The palace officials are waiting for us,” invite Sean to pass.
Jessica nodded, following Sean who had already left her room.
Inside the palace, the higher-ups were already lined up neatly. Stand up, line up perfectly. Seeing Sean coming, everyone looked down.
Jessica is proud to be behind Sean. As if, those people were also bowing themselves to him.
Meanwhile, Lord Shutanhamun stood on his throne. Waiting for Sean, who is heading for him.
But, before that happened, a soldier suddenly came. Breaking into the palace, his breath hunting.
“Yang noble Lord majestically. At the border ...”
“Return your breath first. Speak slowly,” pinta Sean.
The man squabbled before Sean and the others. After that, the man continued his words.
“At border. Gort and Elius' army attacked. Part of the soldier was wounded.”
Hearing the man's confession, everyone who was inside the palace was dumbfounded.
“You're not kidding, are you?” sahut Yudhar asked.
The man shook his head. “Hamba injured. They attack using arrows.”
The soldier showed his shoulder, which was already bleeding. Sean saw it, he knew this situation was gripping.
“Then, I'll go to the border.”
Sean thoughtlessly twisted his body, trying to leave the palace. However, Lord Shutanhamun stopped his steps.
“Do not be rash. You need to measure this plan first before going to the border.”
“But cake. This situation is much more gripping than what we imagined!” sean is angry.
“I know that. But, if you come to the border unprepared, I think the palace troops will be pushed back and even lost. We can't risk this big!” lord Shutanhamun said.
“Prince. Let us go there. The prince remained in the palace, while drawing up the plan.”
Amuria replied, followed by Crypto and others. Driyad bowed before Sean.
“We're going to the border now. Preferably, the prince stays here,” he said.
“This problem does not lie with you. But I'm. This is all because they want me!” sean reminded everyone.
Everyone knows that Lausius was the cause of the chaos. Not because he is the destroyer of nature and peace, but his soul is hunted. There are so many people who want his soul, but Sean still does not care about his own safety.
“We don't have time. Instead, I go to the border now!”
Because there was so much speculation about who would go to the border, Yudhar took the initiative first. He without waiting for Sean's approval, directly rushed outside the palace.
“Yudhar, you ...”
Sean wanted to grab it, but the boy was already lost in his sight.
“I'm sorry Sean. I think I agree with Yudhar.”
“Eed, you ..”
Sean couldn't hold Edward back either, he followed Yudhar's steps. Leaving the palace, the boy ran away as fast as lightning. Both of Sean's peers, so stubborn. However, Sean admits that they are braver than he thought.
Crypto bowed before Lord Shutanhamun, then he said carrying out his idea.
“Sorry Lord. I also feel like I have to go to the border right now. Currently, there is more precarious than anything.”
“I'm also coming with you,” says Amuria. “We'll go together.”
If he could leave, then Driyad would not be easily underestimated. Not to forget, Driyad does not want to miss this. He wants to participate in the war.
“Don't forget me. We go together!” said Driyad was burning.
The old man standing in front of his grand chair, could only sneeze. He massaged his chin, the white beard was thinking.
“Good. Then you go now there. Make sure you repel the attacks of Elius and his soldiers. I'll be there soon with the palace troops!”
“Command Master, we carry out!”
Crypto withdraw. He also stepped out, followed by his two comrades. They can't stay silent in this kind of situation.
All that's left are the palace guards, and Sean and Jessica. Not to forget, the old man was there too.
“Grandfather, I have to get there now!” whining Sean again. He was very adamant, making this old man unable to refute any longer.
“I know, this time has come. I want to ban you, but I also cannot oppose the will of fate. What do I have to say right now in order to keep you in the palace?”
Sean bowed, putting his hands together. “Let me serve the god Opis, as a knight of the land of heaven.”
Exhaling tiredly, the old man allowed Sean's departure. The old man was eager to admit, that he was so heavy doing it. However, since Sean's stubbornness had dominated Lord Shutanhamun's thinking, then there was no other choice. The old man could only tell his touch.
“Hopefully, the sky-highs bless you son,” he said with a heavy heart.
Sean rushed over. Leaving the palace, but Jessica pulls Sean's arm. Before Sean left, Sean looked at Jessica's face that was about to shed tears. On top of that his face looks unwilling to let go of the boy.
“I'll be fine. You don't worry!”
Sean understands Jessica, he must be worried about her safety. With a heavy heart, Sean let go of Jessica's handrails.
“I have to go, all the safety of the population is in my hands!” sean continued saying.
There's no other option for Jessica to let Sean go. Jessica, however, had no right to keep the child by her side.
Looking at Sean who was gone, Jessica could only pray for his safety.
Hopefully, you're okay, Sean.
Leaving Jessica, Sean really can't bear. Sean had to do it. Arriving in front of the palace, Sean took the white horse that had been prepared for him. Not to forget, Sean was commanding one of the soldiers who was nearby.
“Send the war troops now to the border. Prepare complete weapons and armor, let no one lack. Some follow me, we must arrive at the border as soon as possible.”
After telling the soldier, Sean immediately whipped his horse. He sped up the horse's steps, to get there earlier than he expected.
††††
Arriving at the border centre. Some of the steel walls of the border fortress have been broken. For getting a hot stone throw from Elius' team.
Some of the soldiers were already injured by the fire arrows. Gordon had already dispelled some of the Gorts who were trying to break through the border entrance. The strong body is still powerful in the affairs of war.
Amuria and the others instantly took out their respective weapons. One by one they crushed the heads of the Gorts and the servants of Elius.
“How many of their numbers?” ask Crypto to Gordon.
“Nearly one hundred and fifty thousand troops over. Half his servants, half that disgusting demon,” Gordon responded quickly.
“Is your prediction accurate?” asked Amuria.
“I make sure so.”
Although Gordon doesn't know exactly how many of them are, his estimates may not be wrong.
Being at the border fortress, they paid more attention to the faces of those criminals. So many demons and servants of the war soldier Elius, making Gordon and the others horrified.
They are many, like ants that are gathering. In the middle of the dark field, that collection of horned and fully armed stealth looked unperturbed.
Elius stood at the very front of the line. On his horse, he was the leader of the war.
“We wait for the prince. He's probably on his way here. We need a lot of troops, at this time many border troops are down. We can't attack with a small amount like this!”
Amuria nodded, as Crypto said. Their tactics aren't perfect to plan, that's why? They need Sean now.
“Possibly, the great lord will arrive shortly.”
