Chapter 88 Mighty Warrior

Dry wind was blowing from the east.

Agares wasn't trying to hide his movements and everyone in the Free City realized that an army was approaching with the easterly wind.

There were those that ran away from the city.

However some acted like their usual selves, while others were showing willingness to fight.

It took two days.

The time that Agares's army took walking through the desert was like an invisible hand choking the Free City's neck.

"They're almost here."

Oros was on top of the gate and looked into the distance while putting a cigarette in his mouth. Even though it was his sixth one, no one stopped him.

Agares's army was made up of about 1,000 spirits.

While the Free City's defensive forces only had about 500, so Agares had almost twice as much as them.

Oros rolled his eyes. It wasn't easy to look away from the army that was approaching to kill them, but he looked at each and every one of their soldiers that were stationed on top of the gate.

He also saw Dargon's large frame at the end of the eastern gate. The outlaws that were in his group were standing around in an unorganized manner. He was far away, so he couldn't tell, but Dargon was nervous. Even though he fought in many battles, it seemed like war was an unfamiliar thing to him.

Ophelia looked down at Agares's army with a cold expression while having her arms crossed. Even though she looked calm, her tail revealed that she was worried and anxious. Her slightly slouched position revealed her true feelings.

All three leaders of the Free City were on top of the gate. But the House of Mammon's owner wasn't there. He wasn't even in the Free City.

Two days ago.

The moment Ophelia picked-up Agares's movement, Yong-Ho left the city.

He wasn't running away. They desperately hoped he wasn't, and he did say one thing before leaving.

'When the war starts, I'm going to cause chaos at their base. Keep defending and once things become chaotic, open fire.'

They asked how he was going to do it, but Yong-Ho didn't answer. They also asked how they would know when to open fire, and all he told them was that they would know once they saw it.

Oros gritted his teeth. The House of Mammon's guard and the Skeleton Knight was standing right next to Ophelia, which helped calm Oros down.

The House of Mammons' owner was the only one that left.

According to Ophelia, the Dark Elf guard was the owner's lover. If he planned on running away, then he wouldn't have left his lover in the Free City.

Agares's soldiers stopped in front of the various weapons that were installed outside of the gate. It seemed like he was giving them a break before ordering them to attack.

There were a variety of different spirits. While devouring the owners in the eastern region, he scouted their spirits, so there were many different types.

There were Goblins, Orcs, Ogres and even Trolls. Next to the group that looked like Lycanthropes, there were insect type spirits in various sizes and next to them, there were siege weapons and Golems.

They were pressured by the fact that there were around a 1,000 of them.

Oros took a deep breath. He heard Dargon's voice through the close-range communication device that was in his ear.

"No news from the House of Mammon's owner? Do you, do you think maybe he ran away?"

"There's no way. He's not the type to do that. He's definitely going to come. You saw his eyes too. He's not the type to run away. He's definitely going to fight with us."

Oros answered right away. He said that to reassure both Dargon and himself. They came this far, so they had no choice but to believe in him.

Ophelia didn't say anything. That's why Oros was feeling more anxious. He tried recalling the look that Yong-Ho had. The Yong-Ho that he saw in the meeting room wasn't the type to run away. If he was going to run away, he wouldn't have answered to their request in the first place.

More time passed. The wind that was blowing stopped and Agares's troops started advancing again. No, it was more like they charged.

Screams and roars filled the desert. The sounds could even be considered to be weapons. The warriors in the Free City started trembling in fear when the screams and roars hit their walls.

"Prepare for battle!"

"Prepare for battle!"

They couldn't wait any longer. They had to fight now. Oros spat out the cigarette that was in his mouth and then screamed. Dargon also tightened his grip on his mace and prepared to command the warriors. The warriors were standing in front of the weapons and were waiting for him to signal them.

The ground started shaking. Agares's troops were getting closer. Oros waved his hand and ordered them to attack.

The Orcs' roars hit the walls and the various weapons flew over Agares's troops.

Oros erased the thought of Yong-Ho from his head. The spirits that were charging rushed through the incoming artillery fire. The arrows that both sides released covered the sky and rocks and spells were flying through the air.

More sounds filled their surroundings. Roars, cries and screams were coming from all over the place. But because of that, they were able to hear better. A small whisper ripped through the cries and entered Oros's ear.

"Coming."

Ophelia wasn't looking at Agares's troops. Catalina, the Dark Elf guard that was standing next to her, turned around towards the southern region with a bright smile. The siege weapon hit the walls. But Oros didn't care. He followed Ophelia and Catalina and turned around. There was a loud sound behind them.

"Skulllll!"

There was a fiery path in the distance and it split the sky. Oros had seen it before, so he knew. It was Yong-Ho. Oros was sure that he had returned.

Yong-Ho wasn't the only one that returned.

The ground was shaking. The spirits near realized it. It wasn't because Agares's troops were charging, and it also wasn't because their weapons were hitting the walls and ground.

Oros knew what this shaking was. He experienced it several times while living in the southern region.

That's why he almost couldn't believe it.

He almost doubted it. Before he could say it, the thing that he was imagining appeared in front of him.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!

It shot out of the ground while roaring. It was a large Land Worm. On top of that, there were three of them.

"Land Worm! Is he really controlling a Land Worm?"

Dargon was shocked. Oros shook his head. He realized what was happening after seeing the Land Worm and fire moving faster than Agares's troops.

"He's being chased. He's being chased! He's brought the Land Worms here!"

The Land Worm's roar was louder than Oros's scream. Agares's troops stopped moving during that moment.

Both sides were attacking each other nonstop, but now both sides had stopped at the same time.

Everyone looked at one area. And Yong-Ho gave his order while everyone was looking at him. Salami flapped his fiery wings once more.

"Attack!"

He soared into the air. The fire provoked the Land Worms and Salami started descending while feeling thrilled and excited. Salami descended as low as possible.

Yong-Ho focused. He gathered the mana that was contained in the bracelet on his left arm. It was the reward he earned from clearing the third floor. It was the same bracelet that Kaiwan had and mana was contained within it.

Two days.

That's how long it took Yong-Ho to find the Land Worms. And he was even able to gather three of them. He was extremely lucky with the timing.

Salami charged through Agares's troops. His troops couldn't even touch the fire because it was charging at an extremely fast rate. The moment Salami descended to the lowest point, Yong-Ho released all the mana that was inside the bracelet.

The mana exploded. While the gray-colored mana was moving violently, Yong-Ho grabbed the handle that was on Salami's back. He ordered Salami again.

"Fly!"

Salami's fiery wings were flapping in the air. Salami felt like his body was going to break, so he used gravity to help him fly. He soared vertically. Salami was able to fly faster thanks to the wind and the fire that flew all over the place.

It's only been a few seconds since he released his mana.

A black shadow appeared above Agares's troops' heads. The shadow covered the skies and they believed that it was a disaster they couldn't escape.

The Land Worms were no longer chasing Yong-Ho. They instead started to attack Agares's troops as if they were drunk by the mana that was floating in the air. The ground started shaking and screams and cries filled the air. The result of the smaller Land Worms' movements were terrible.

The roars were louder than the screams. Bones and flesh had been crushed and within moments, many spirits had lost their lives. What made it worse was that the Land Worms weren't planning on stopping. This was just the start of the disaster.

The ones that were on top of the gate were at a loss for words.

Oros looked shocked.

What happened?

How did Yong-Ho bring those Land Worms here?

Do they just watch?

No.

Even though the Land Worms were large and strong, they couldn't kill 1,000 spirits. Even though Agares's troops were in a chaotic state, they weren't just going to be killed by the Land Worms.

Yong-Ho only gave one order. And there were those on top of the gate that didn't forget.

"Attack! Attack with everything you got!"

Opehlia ordered. The Free City's warriors felt overwhelmed, but they soon came to a realization. This was the time for them to attack. The Land Worms and the Free City weren't allies. There was no need for them to distinguish between allies and foes.

"Shoot!"

"Shoot!"

They attacked both the Land Worms and Agares's troops. And then there was another order.

"Skullll!"

The gates opened.

A black vehicle left the Free City like an arrow that had been shot. Behind them, monsters that were carrying the Skeletons charged forward. Ophelia's elite troops also followed behind.

Skull went around the battlefield. The Land Worms were rampaging in the middle of Agares's troops. The area was big and soldiers were standing around where the Land Worms were. Even though they didn't die from the Land Worms' attacks, they were still in a chaotic state.

Skull and the elite soldiers were charging towards them. Thunder was released from Skull's hammer and the Skeletons and elite soldiers attacked Agares's troops with their lances. It almost looked like a very strong black wind.

Fire appeared in the sky. Yong-Ho rolled his eyes after watching the fight while riding on Salami. He saw Catalina releasing black mana from the top of the gate. Even though she was far away, he assumed she felt him watching. He thought he had even heard her voice.

Yong-Ho smiled. He raised his right arm and grabbed the lance that was created from the fire.

He wasn't just going to watch. This war was Yong-Ho's.

Salami roared and flew down again.

The left side of the battle.

Skull and the elite soldiers were fighting on that side, so Yong-Ho and Salami also headed in that direction.

Yong-Ho's lance then transformed into a fiery one.
