The After World Breaker
Chapter 26: Two different sides of a rusty coin
In the tent where the soldiers were being treated. Allenz is served with wheat soup and boiled potatoes. With a thick cloth covering his back to warm himself up.
Splitting the potatoes with his hands, it looks like the contents of the potatoes are still warm, with smoke billowing out. Blowing the potato several times, Allenz ate the potato. From inside the tent he thought of other circumstances, because at this time the snowstorm was underway.
Looking from the sidelines of the open curtain tent, the current conditions are bad enough to do any activity. But, why did the kings make plans earlier by invading the demon territory, which was this plan with the remaining warriors. Meanwhile, other soldiers who are in recovery are here with some soldiers to guard the area around the camp.
Continuing his dinner, Allenz just prayed they would return quickly, as they had not returned since noon. Today, it was almost midnight, but there was no sign of another coming back.
...****************...
In the forest that appeared to be burning and badly damaged, the attack from the human side caused a devastating impact to the demon territory. Because the location of the forest that has been seen destroyed by the human side managed to enter the eastern region of the demons.
That was why the human side decided to continue attacking this region, as they had already entered the demon territory.
"Continue attacking!!" Shouted Valrius.
The human side got into a city on the eastern side of the demon territory, and bombarded the place to cause damage and panic for the residents there.
People are running around looking for shelter. Some demon troops came and tried to evacuate the residents. There were even some residents who had come to attack the human side.
From above the airships dropped gunpowder barrels and fired on them with cannons. Blast everything down below, kill whatever they're through.
"Fucking humans!! You will receive the consequences of all this!!" Bump a demon, and attack the incoming Brave Rider fleet. However, the demon was hit by a puncture from the spear used by one of the Brave Riders. Until the spear went through his upper stomach.
Some of Diamondnia's troops were shooting at demons who were trying to escape with light magic.
Nearby, Zen and Iris are looking for a demon who appears to be hiding in the building. Slaughter them no matter if they are found or not, by blasting or burning the buildings they enter, so the demons will exit the building and they will be ready to slaughter them outside.
Many female demons who carried her child, or demons who were unable to fight ran away. Until there is a pure demon who tries to fight with determination running towards Diamondnia's army. Using the Demon Awaken, and being able to kill and injure several warriors, but with another Diamondnia warrior directly shot at the demon with light magic until the demon disappeared into dust.
This insanity reached where Krampus was, he was very angry when he knew that the eastern region was attacked, even a city was destroyed and the inhabitants were wiped out.
"Give the Hellar demons to come and save the residents who can be evacuated!!" Declared.
Approximately twenty Hellar demons were deployed there, with several large horns, bodies that were no less large like gorillas, appearing like flames wrapped with some armor as his body, eyes that were fiery and terrifying as they looked. Flying towards the eastern city, they saw a sea of fire, from that city to the nearby forest. Descending in the west of the city, the deployed demons looked around, only the ruins of the buildings were destroyed. Not even a few they saw many demonic corpses that were there. Their deaths vary from magic attacks, weapons or being hit by buildings.
Until they walk, they meet some humans who are chasing the inhabitants of other demons. Enraged, one of the demons in the blink of an eye reached where the human troops were chasing.
With a sigh, the demon raised the soldier's head with one hand and gripped firmly, until the soldier's head was crushed like porridge. The fellow human soldiers looked frightened by the appearance of a demon that killed one of their comrades.
Until the demon army that was sent came from the great demon earlier. Those demon troops easily slaughtered the remaining humans.
Looking around the already-wracked. The demons decided to split up in groups in various cities. "Hellars...."
"Hellars..." That was all they said in a horrible tone, according to the name of their troops taken from their own words, namely 'Hellar' .
The Hellars immediately jumped high and headed for all the cities, some landing in a deserted place but having some casualties of this attack, the Hellar troops quickly helped the victims; Some descended in front of the king's convoys; some landed behind Zen and Iris; others were to the north and northeast, where some Brave Riders were located.
The arrival of Hellar forces was highly unexpected by all the parties who met them. Moreover, to them these Hellars were so new, they had never seen such a monstrous demon.
"Everyone's alert!" Lennard. The two sides looked at each other, the three Hellars took out their weapons which mostly used mace or axes. Roaring loudly, Hellar at the position of the king's fourth convoy. They came quickly. Although their bodies were large, but their speed could not be underestimated.
Running like four-legged animals, they came quickly and instantly raised their weapons high up to hit the ground.
At Zen's position, he turned around by finding the two newly landed Hellars. Feeling strange with the appearance of the two Hellars, Zen prepared with his weapon. Turned his suitcase into a gauntlet. One of the Hellars advanced first, as the two of them faced off against the Hellar quickly in front of Zen giving the man a giant fist on his face. Zen in a building.
Iris immediately roared at Hellar who had already hurt his master. Without Iris noticing, the other Hellar directly hit Iris from above with his mace, putting the two into great conflict.
On the northeast side, the Brave Riders faced more Hellars there.
The Hellar saw someone coming with a horse and a spear. But Hellar's unkempt speed went straight through the Brave Rider, until he had grasped the Brave Rider earlier, causing his horse to run away just like leaving his master.
Hellar saw the Brave Rider he got, with a face that struggled to escape from Hellar's grasp. Without further ado Hellar ate the Brave Rider's head and threw away his body, then followed up with the other Hellar fellow. Behind him were many corpses of Brave Rider troops and horses belonging to them, even some headless.
In the northern part of the city, other Hellar forces landed, with those traversed by the residents fleeing in the opposite direction. In front of them were the alliance's airships that destroyed the buildings beneath them.
Grunting furiously, the Hellars jumped high, and someone caught a cannonball, then threw it back at the airship.
Until several high-jumping Hellars landed on the decks of those ships. The crew and soldiers were surprised to see a huge and far more terrifying demon appear before them.
Furious, the Hellars destroyed the ships they came to, causing them to fall in the middle of the city. About 13 alliance ships fell in the city.
The southwestern section of about four Hellars was watching and leading the demon inhabitants who had made it out of the city to go to another city that would house these refugees.
Looking from afar, though it is difficult to see due to a snowstorm. However, it still looks color to the brass from afar, where the location of the city was before.
One of the Hellars who took the refugees immediately left by flying to return before Krampus. It flew quickly, and it only took about half an hour for the Hellar to inform Krampus that the city was already completely destroyed, and only about a thousand more they could carry, although he hoped that Hellar who was still in the city could find other residents and be taken out.
Krampus gave the order to have the alliance troops repulsed or eliminated as much as possible, and if they could stay there for an hour. If it had been an hour, and the alliance army had not retreated, then it was Hellar's army that had to retreat. Because, Krampus will use Old Human anti-aircraft weapons that he took from German territory first, to rain down the city that soon became the dead city.
Zen and the alliance were troubled by the arrival of the Hellars. Maybe Iris can match the Hellar's strength, but not her. His strength when compared to a single Hellar demon was like a deer fighting a lion.
Pretty much injured, Zen decides to go to the place of the kings, hoping to get help from there. "Curtain, Iris, we're getting out of here!!"
Iris who heard Zen's orders, went straight to where her master was, and took her master away from there.
"We must go to the place where the kings are gathered!"
Hearing the order, Iris took Zen to the location where the king's convoys were located. However, the result remained the same as her. The convoy was attacked by another Hellar. Running towards the convoy, Iris lunged at one Hellar that tried to re-attack the convoy, forcefully pushing one hellar with her head. making Hellar was pushed until hit by a house and hit by the house.
Hellar who was hit by the iris came out of the rubble that hit him, then roared furiously. but Hellar's focus was stopped when he heard the sound that made Hellar just leave along with the other Hellars in the city, leaving the convoys and Zen in quite a state.
Trying to help each other and heal the wounded warrior, Zen asked about the Hellars who had suddenly left.
"Why did the demons leave?!"
"I don't know, but I don't feel good." Said Woulle who felt awkward.
Willle's guess turned out to be correct, before long from the sky appeared several attacks that were heading towards them. Hail the town with a number of rockets on them. Making everyone seek shelter.Many soldiers who did not have time to protect themselves were affected, the airships were also affected, until they hit each other.
It took fifteen minutes for this attack to take place. Looking around, this place was getting more and more destroyed after the attack, flattening whatever was in the city.
After seeing the attack just now, Eryk became unsure of continuing to assault the demon territory any further, as there were several factors, such as, like there would be an attack like that and they had lost a lot of troops especially after the appearance of some powerful demons that came suddenly.
"I'm not sure if we continue this attack, it will be very dangerous for all of us. Plus the weather's getting worse at the moment." Eryk. "We'd better go back, and wait for the weather to improve, or we'd better stop attacking here."
The other kings agreed, much riskier, if continued. After all the remaining parties, brought along the corpses of the troops they could find to take home.
With bad weather conditions making their trip difficult, cold temperatures, strong winds, heavy snow make their feet difficult to step on. Which in the end, they decided to return with everyone aboard the airship. Meanwhile, horses, wagons, and chariots will be brought by people who feel strong to travel back.
Returning by hitchhiking on an airship, they returned to camp. It took me about twenty minutes to get back.
In the distance above the tree with a gray form, and smoke that enveloped his entire body. Watching all the things that just happened. "At the end of the day no matter if it was a human or a demon, they would do the same. However, their race is different. They'll get rid of each other and do damage." Said the figure, pointing his hand at the sky and like trying to grasp the moon covered with clouds and strong wind. "Like two different sides of a rusty coin. Although it has different sides, but both sides it has rust on their sides."
After saying those words, the figure simply disappeared amidst the unfolding blizzard, allowing this world to spin by itself. And see the end to the fate of all beings in that world.
