Centerville

***

In the snow-covered plain, there was a circular wall made of snow and inside there was a camp filled with beasts/monsters and some humans.

In a tent made from various leathers Jordan, the group leaders of various groups, and beasts handlers gathered around a table.

On the table, there was a map with the layout of Centerville, and on the map, there were five camps marked with two different colors, one was for the three camps under angel control and the other one was for the two demon camps.

With the plan already made, they were only making sure that everyone knows what to do.

Jordan "so everyone understands what they are supposed to do?" "yes, yes", "ok we will start when tomorrow just as the sun rises, for now, you can rest"

With this everyone from the tent returned to their stations in the small tent camp made around 1,5 km (1 mile) away from the Centerville. Around the camp, there is a wall made of snow to make it look less eye catching. It wasn't perfect but it was enough, with a bit of luck they shouldn't be discovered, and even if they were it wouldn't change anything.

The sky was still dark when the group entered Centerville under Jordan´s lead and upon entering the town Jordan stopped and waited for all of his beasts/monsters/humans to gather and once they were gathered he spoke to them "We will split into two groups now, the first group will go with me and we will attack the 1 angel camp while the second group will attack the 1 demon camp. NOW ARE YOU READY? NO HESITATION! NO MERCY! GO AND WIN!"

With a roaring sound, the group split in two and began to move towards their targets.

Jordan rode Max and neared the angel camp, hundreds of beasts behind him, about five of them were in the third phase, few dozens in the second phase, and the rest in the first phase.

On those beasts there rode goblins that were birthed by the mother goblin, those goblins were all relatively weak with only the basic training but what they lacked in experiences they made up with ferocity, they will make perfect foot soldiers same with the dozens of ratman that followed, also there were few lizardmen that were evolved enough to stand the cold and also dozens of humans that… well they were there to prove themselves to ear more benefits and gain access to rare techniques and spells or just the mana crystals that can be used to speed up their mana refining.

In total there were about five hundred able fighters with relatively good gear under Jordan and the second group was even bigger to compensate for the lack of Jordan himself.

The first group approached the first angel camp and began to line up before the wall, the sun was rising and various panicked shouts could be heard from the camp, Jordan ignored those panicked defenders and cast his mana shield, he was confident in dealing with anyone in the camp there as he already scouted all the camps but its better to be prepared for any unexpected abilities the angels may have.

After conquering the shield Jordan gathered a bit of fourth circle mana and used it in its raw state to a made hole in the shabby wall.

The wall which was made from all matters of materials and spikes was easily destroyed and a huge part of it just flew all over the place with a loud bang. Jordan pointed with his war-ax at the hole in the wall and shouted "SURRENDER AND YOU WILL GET A CHANCE TO LIVE! ATTACK!"

All the attackers under Jordan's control poured inside the camp and slaughtered anyone who didn't immediately surrender.

Two angels ran toward Jordan, one held a flaming sword while the other one was standing in the back and was preparing some kind of spell. Seeing the angels approaching Jordan didn't hesitate and infused his tattoo with fourth circle mana.

With the huge speed boost, Jordan managed to close the gap in seconds, and before the angels could even react Jordan was already right in front of the angel warrior.

Jordan used his control over the shield and let it crash into the angel mage, the angel mage was thrown on the ground, and meanwhile, Jordan continued to take care of the angel warrior.

Jordan infused his hands and the skin on them turned black, after that Jordan threw the war-ax he was holding at the angel.

The angel warrior had no time to dodge and so he was forced to block with his big flaming sword, and that was exactly what Jordan wanted. Jordan caught the angel´s hand that held the flaming sword and then threw the angel over his shoulder, with the angel on the ground Jordan infused his legs with mana as well, the skin on Jordan´s legs turned black as well and Jordan began to stump the back of the angels head.

Soon with a pop sound the angel's head cracked and turned into a white bloody mush, "YOU MONSTER!" the angel mage who was thrown to the ground shouted, and Jordan while streams of tears poured from his eyes. While laying on the ground the mage cast an air blade aimed at Jordan, with the distance being so close between them Jordan had no time to react and was forced to take the spell head-on.

A deep gash appeared on Jordan´s chest and few drops of blood poured from it but that was all, with speed visible to the eyes the gash on Jordan's chest began to close, seeing that the angel mage was beyond being stunned.

Making use of the situation Jordan close to the angel while he controlled the mana shield to move towards him. Jordan stepped on the angel mage and moved the shield´s sharp side on the angel's neck, gripping the other side with his hands Jordan began to use the shield as a guillotine and after several bashes, the angel's head departed his body.

Jordan looked over the humans that surrendered, about half of the residents of the camp surrendered but that was still a bit too much there is a need to reduce the numbers a little but that´s ok, it´s all part of the plan.

Jordan began to speak to the scared humans that were sitting before him all tied up "I understand your feelings, but I don't really care, you were my enemies and now you will be my slaves (forced workers) if I wish for it, your only chance now to be free or even citizens is to fight for me. Bring me an enemy´s head and you are free, bring me five and you are a citizen, bring none and you will be a slave"

The humans cried and sobbed while a few of those especially brave stood up and began to protest "We will-" before the protestors could finish their sentence they were killed.

Jordan spoke once again to the tied up humans "try to run away and you will die, try to protest and you will die, try to defect and you will die, understood?"

None of the humans spoke but they all did understand the situation they are in, Jordan "good"
