The battle was almost at its peak, the surprise attack carried out by the demon clan completely overwhelmed the knights. Meanwhile, the population slowly began to wane, their attempts to evacuate through the escape route almost succeeded.
While the war was still continuing in the eastern region of the fortress ampt, this time Sebastian Austin and his knights were successfully urged by the invading demon army. The gate even managed to be broken by the demon army, although the knight army managed to subvert 3 Tyropus demons, but the other 2 were still enough to make them run out of the empire.
Defeating just 3 for an army that is less than its current number is already a miracle. What else they have to beat the other 2. Even the class knight Sebastian Austin also looks overwhelmed.
Glancing to the western region, the troops led by Pistris were already on the verge of breaking down. Even the monsters and demons managed to enter the central part of the fortress. Luckily the residents are currently in the northern region, trying to evacuate.
At the main gate, the southern. Poranda's army. They were forced to retreat from the front gate and were currently being chased by monsters and demons.
The formation and mentality of the knights crumbled as Astharot appeared holding Igor's head.
"We need to get out of here." Benak Lusio, one of the Norwegian knights who fled to the north of the gate while carrying Ilume.
"Igor.. Lutor.." Ilume was delirious on Lucio's shoulder.
*Some time ago, at the East gate.
A new demon army appeared and attacked the main gate. "Yaaaaaaaarrrggg.." Lutor was in critical condition because the poison in his body was exerting all his strength to slaughter the invading demon and monster army.
His body was full of stab wounds and attacks.. Blood poured out everywhere, but Lutor was still able to fight.
Before long he fell while defending with his sword and vomited blood. The monsters take the chance and attack Lutor.
"Magicae creation: radix longitudinem." Ilume expended all his energy in one strike.
Giant roots emerged from the ground and blew away all the monsters and demons that were trying to attack Lutor.
"Moor.." Ilume approached towards Lutor who was still vomiting blood.
Lutor looked at Ilume, he saw Ilume shed more tears than before.
At that moment, Astharot appeared above the sky. "Give up the trash." Her speech.
Lutor and the other knights looked up and saw the wounded Astharot and lost his right hand. But to their surprise, Astharot holds Igor's head without a body in his left hand.
Lutor whose vision had blackened suddenly had his pupils dilated, his muscles strengthened and yawned from the heat. His emotions and consciousness returned after seeing Igor.. Friend's killed.
While Ilume was gaping while covering his mouth, he could not believe what he saw. "Igor.."
His memory goes back to childhood.. Where the three of them meet in the church as the children of the victims of the war against the demon clan.
The three of them were best friends since childhood.. Yes, the three of them had promised to fight together until the last breath.
"IGOORRR...." Ilume shouted out tears.
"Lusioooo's.." Lutor yells.
A knight who was around the incident turned to look at Lutor. He saw Lutor's gaze, as if he knew the meaning of the gaze.
"Ferrite igne inferni.." Lutor jumped using the last remaining strength of his life.
Ilume also wants to attack but Lucio comes to head and makes Ilume faint.
"All troops.. This is the last commandment of Lord Lutor. Miss Ilume must live." Shouted Lutor with all his might.
The Norwegian knights who heard about it set up a formation and confronted the monsters who wanted to attack even though their strength was no longer possible. It's like a suicide order..
Meanwhile, Lucio.. Leaving the main gate towards the northern region to secure Ilume's safety in accordance with Lutor's orders.
That's what happened just a moment before..
1 Hour before sunrise..
Northern region.. Under the cliff, a small pier with several boats was already overcrowded and crowded by panicked people.
A mother cries for not being able to find her son in the middle of the panic on the dock. But suddenly in front of him appeared a woman in a black robe.
The woman was carrying a child. "Little sister, is she your Mama?"
The little boy suddenly pointed his hands at the woman as if asking to be carried while shouting. "Mama."
The woman wept and approached, hugging her child and thanking the cloaked woman who had helped her child. The woman smiled.. Then it suddenly disappeared right in front of him.
"Mr Salosa, you must leave immediately. The rest I'll take care of." Moro facing Sasola.
"No, until the residents actually go inside."
"Master please.. You are the only surviving noble on the island of Irian. If you fall, then I... It is better to die than to have to meet with the king and say that we knights of the Nusantara kingdom did not manage to save a single noble from the island of Irian." Moro firmly bowed.
Salosa gulped, she was still heavy to die the island at this time.
"Master.. Please, your wife and son are waiting." Again Moro looked down
"Be good."
Then..
Gebrakk.. The sound of buildings collapsing in front of the castle caught the attention of the two of them and the residents who still had not entered the castle.
"What's that!?" Moro pulled out his sword.
Meanwhile from the opposite direction.. The monsters and demons had arrived right in front of the castle.
The residents who saw it even more panicked and increasingly jostling.
Moro saw the collapsed building, it turned out to be Pistris.
"EVERYTHING.. FORMATION." Shouted Moro to the knights guarding the inhabitants.
Pistris rose from the ruins of the building. "Damn it, it turns out they can break through all the way here." He tried to get up.
It turned out that the remaining troops from the west gate were successfully pushed by the demon army all the way to the front of the castle.
"Mr Pistris.. You all right?" Salosa shouted towards Pistris.
"Huh!? Mr. Salosa, why are you still here?" Pistris was quite surprised to see that Salosa had not left the island.
Meanwhile the knights of the Pistris army were still trying to withstand the onslaught of the demon army.
"You look messy huh.. Igwan." Moro shouted to one of the knights who was dueling the demons.
"Whispering." Aspersion.
Pistris got up and took back his role.
"Moros.. Command your troops to remain in this formation and.. You're." Pistris pointed to one of the soldiers.
"Take this old man into the castle and immediately bring him down the cliff." Pistris pointed to Salosa.
"Every sir ."
"ALRIGHT.. ALL OF YOU, SURVIVE AT LEAST UNTIL ALL THE INHABITANTS ENTER THE CASTLE." Pistris shouted loudly.
In the middle of that chaos..
In the sky,..
"Igna irae."
Pistris looked up at the sky.. He was surprised, a gigantic fireball suddenly lunged. Getting close.. Until finally the light of the fireball illuminated the night around the castle.
All the people who were still panicking looked up and.. All shouting. Moments later.. A violent blow blew up the castle and killed people who still had not entered the underground passageway.
The castle was destroyed by burying people and closing the only access road to the pier under the cliff.
"liks.. It's lies!" Salosa who had not been able to enter was thrown by the explosion and did not believe what he saw.
Everyone saw it with their own eyes, now they were trapped and could not go anywhere.
The hysterical and crying sounds of the loss of the family began to be heard. The population of about 200 people cannot leave the island.
