Chapter 254: The Nation's Armies

[Country of Sysca, Holy Palace]

One week has passed since that time when Kaido and his crew passed the bridge, the army of the Country of Sysca are now marching towards the huge teleportation circle made by the mages

The target location for the destination of these magic circle was the empty plot of land Screa Port City

Not only that but all of the kingdoms that are allied with them started to move as well as their soldiers March forward

Just as promised Pope Basil has divided his Royal Knight's into two groups, rank 7 to 12 are in charge of the crusaders army of the Country of Sysca, while rank 1 to 6 are in charge of guarding their city

At the same time Raguel has finally recovered from his injuries and plan to head over towards the battlefield once more

King Emperor Ergo however gathered his remaining Empire's army and joined them on their March for two reasons, first is to raise their morale, while second was to get revenge on the people that was responsible for the Empire's fall

Walking out of the hallway Raguel could see that sea of soldiers below as they were being cheered on by the masses

"Human's are really interesting... They know that they are heading into the battlefield and yet they are being greeted and cheered on by the crowd as if this was their game" murmured Raguel as he felt that he was getting stronger by the days passed

That time as he was contemplating, a sound of another person rung out followed by the clanging of its armor

When he turned around he could see the King Emperor was armored a red armor from head to toe as he too look at the army below

"Is that so?... I think that's what it means to be a human Hero-sama" said King Emperor Ergo

"I guess it is but you your majesty is quite interesting too, we all know that your chances of dying on the battlefield is not zero and yet you still wanted your revenge even if it causes your life" said Raguel

"I've already lost too much, I won't back down now" said King Emperor Ergo

After that he looked down once more and finally said something

"The number of our army together with the Empire's army are about 30,000 humans and that is only our first army" said King Emperor Ergo

Hearing that Raguel just nodded

Soon after they saw their army was marching towards the portal in a proper way, seeing that Raguel soon sighed while the King Emperor wore his red helmet as the former said

"It's time for war"

[Ingra Kingdom]

On the Ingra Kingdom king Simon was also getting ready for war as he puts on his armor together with Prince Johannes as he puts his

With one order from the ruler of the empire, all kingdoms started mobilizing towards Screa Port City and now are marching down towards the battlefield

"Father!" Called out Prince Johannes

"Son... Looks like war is inevitable" said King Simon as he puts his armguard

"There's nothing we can do father... That bastard Kaido, I haven't heard from him since... But I know what to do, in order for us not to raise suspicions we ourselves just needed to follow through the Empire's wants" stated prince Johannes as he puts his chest plate

"I see... How many are our numbers for our first army per request of the empire?" Asked King Simon

"About 5,000... We are a small kingdom after all"

"I see...

This time however right after they finished putting on their armor, the crystal for communication suddenly rung up as it suddenly projected Ingrid's worried face and the background of the Demon's continent wastelands

"Father! Are you really going through this decision?" Asked Ingrid worriedly

"My daughter... My precious daughter... Your as beautiful as your mother the day I met her" said King Simon as she longingly looked at Ingrid

"Father!!!"

"My child no need to worry about me, it's my decision to go, you just need to follow what you wanted to do, I have General Stone and your brother join me on the battlefield" consoled king Simon

"I don't care about my brother!" Said Ingrid

"That's harsh you know... No wonder I liked you, but nevertheless I can't touch you now as you belong to that bastard... If I have to choose between you or me, then I'll have to choose my life over yours" said prince Johannes

"Go away!" Retorted Ingrid

"Ingrid! I won't know what will happen in the Frontlines but let me tell you before it's too late... Your father is proud to have you as my daughter... I love you Ingrid" said King Simon

"Papa... Please I wish you safe"

" I wish myself too"

Soon a tear fell down on Ingrid cheeks as she carrassed the screen which was also the same for King Simon, since this was war they won't know if they will survive and be able to live through it

With a single nod Ingrid reaffirmed herself and wished them luck before turning the projection off

As for King Simon he suddenly walked ahead as he looked up at the ceiling and mumbled

"She grown to be a wonderful and string woman" he muttered as he thought of his deceased wife

"My time is near, wait for me"

[Grand kingdom, Beastman Country]

Meanwhile the same could be said for the Beastmen as they started to move from all over the continent and started to head towards their airships

As the humans were going to take the sea route to reach the intended checkpoint in the Demon Continent, the Beastmen however were going to take the sky route to get to the designated checkpoint

As all kingdoms of the continent started to move, grand kingdom himself were mobilizing their army infront of the Capital's walls as the citizens cheered for the first army consisting of 10,000 soldiers from the Kingdom alone

As Alduin and Xyrus finally taking a break to heal their wounds from the battle 1 week ago, they soon decided it's time to return to the battlefield once more but this time with the full force of the three races

As Alduin packed up his inventions, weapons, and toys he soon started to wear a leather armor together with a long noble shirt, as for his will be armor, he can just conjure it up using his materialization magic, thus he always has his armor with him

As for Cyrus he was now covered in battle robe as his coat flutters

With the trait of the wolf Beastmen Alduin will finally be able to go all out and might be possible to use his berserk mode which is unique technique only applicable to Beastmen

"Hero-dono! Alduin! It's time" said Xyrus

"I see... With this the Goddess wants would be fulfilled, we are already at the climax of our journey and if we win... Another peaceful era will emerge" said Alduin

Hearing that Xyrus can only sigh as he said

"You just wanted to slack off during that time and drown yourself with women from different parts of the continent, you maybe the hero in our citizens eyes but I see you as a disgusting and trash hero" said Xyrus

"I'll take that as a compliment"

"Truly..."

After that both of them headed down towards the front of the capital as numerous airships could be seen being brought over by the workers under Alduin and presented their majestic and dominating aura

Seeing this of course raises their morale to the highest which in turn made the citizens chant Alduin's name

But what's more surprising was that Alduin for some reason could see the King of the grand kingdom in the castle walls seemingly excited to see him leave once more

"Coward king... I'll deal with you after this" he mumbled before instructing everyone to board the ships

Thus the Beastman army are going straight towards the Demon Continent's border

*********

[Endroga Kingdom]

As the only Elven kingdom inside the sea of trees, Queen Vivian, Horus, Elijah soon gathered the Elves from different parts of the see of Endroga kingdom towards the castle walls

Naturally as a disciple of Horus and in order to gain worldly experience Cara the beastwoman will together with Horus on the battlefield

Observing the incoming waves of elven soldiers Elijah himself could see their number rising with the help of the system

"Looks like we will reach about 20,000 elves for the first army" estimated Elijah

"Is that so? Well our numbers will rise once we joined with the other races in the Demon's continent" said Queen Vivian

"But you shouldn't forget that the spirits, fairies, pixies will be coming too which will be eventually lead us to 40,000 on our side of those little guys are included" said Horus

"I feel glad at the same time sad since not everyone can join" said Queen Vivian

"It's only natural since some of them rely on nature to pass by, and the Demon Continent is a land filled with wasteland, which will bring them to an disadvantageous position when a right broke out" said Elijah

Hearing him say that both Horus and Queen Vivian were surprised

"I see looks like all those knowledge makes it worthwhile" commented Horus

"Huh!!! What do you mean?"

"My child is really smart" said Queen Vivian

"But I am smart even before" retorted Elijah

"Sure sure! Whatever you say kid" replied Horus

With that he waved his hand and handed Cara who was silent her own staff that would help her amplify her magic, of course the latter was excited seeing the staff

After that Horus once again returned his gaze towards the army below

"I'll transport everyone to the designated location once they are all here"

Once he said that the other three nodded their heads, at the same time the World Tree shined down and started giving buffs towards the army below as if it is acknowledging them and wished them good luck

Of course this raises their morale which everyone wanted

*********

[Demon king's Castle, Demon Continent]

In front of the castle walls an army from the first main army of the Demon's were assembled

All of them were waiting for this moment as they wanted to conclude who will win in this war

Seemingly the four vassals together with all of their assets were going on this match towards the battlefield

Based on their information they estimated that the war will happen at the bridge as it was the most tactical place that would restrain the flow of the enemy's March

With this expectations the Demon's Army roared in excitement to see the blood of their opponent's

Of course the Demon king was currently talking to his vassals together with Asuto

"How much is our estimated number by the Demon army alone?" Asked by the Demon king

"Around 40,000 for the first army" said Larval

"Plus 5,000 on the vampires side first army" said sirius

"5,000 on the first army of the undead" reported Hepta

"And 10,000 for the other monster races and 10,000 for my toys" said Larval

"I have none under me my king, for my strength alone could match a whole army" said Belial

"Is that so? I wish our army a victory" said the Demon king

This time Asuto who was quiet all the time spoke up

"Should I join? I believe that the battle would instantly finish when I'm there" he said

"No need! You'll be our reserve after all we can't show all of our cards already right?" Said by the Demon king followed by the nods of other vassals

"If you say so" said Asuto as he backed down

With the the Demon king nodded as he looked towards the army and proudly said

"Let's win this war and show the enemy what true despair is like... I in my name and title as the Demon king ascertain to you that we will crush them all"

With that the whole Demon army will soon be joined by the other races as they proceeded towards the bridge which is expected and estimated where the battle will break out in the future

With a sounding March the battle that will decide their fate will soon arrive
