42 The War

"Skeletons to the right!"

"Dammit! Where's the mages?!"

"They're concentrated on the southern wall, we need to make due with what we have here!"

"Draugrs to our left!"

"Golems to ou…

"imps to….

"your mom to…

"Hey! That's a stone golem you c*nt!"

"like I said"

On the western-northern wall, soldiers were busy cutting down the Demons. 

They may have the lowest number of troops on the walls, but a soldier from the strongest kingdom shouldn't be looked down on. A single regular soldier could easily kill a Peak True Profound Realm in 1 move. This is not including their armors, weapons and enchantment boost granted by mages.

The higher ranked soldiers are all much more powerful than these regular soldiers. Not to mention geniuses in the kingdom.

As they are fighting, a black robed figure was watching them from within the castle walls. It had a small bump on his bag, it looked like it has scoliosis.

'The Demons Army looks like the Profound Beast I know. Except for some beasts and humanoids, I am confident I know their strengths and weaknesses. After 2 weeks of fighting, they would probably sent in more powerful Profound Beast soon.'

This black robed figure is exactly Yun Che, and the girl. 2 weeks have passed since he escaped from the palace and he has slowly gotten information on the unique Profound Arts he saw earlier, they are called 'magic' by everyone here.

They also called the Profound Qi as 'Mana'. They are two general paths for the warriors here, either they focus on their body and body enchantment spells or they focus on using 'Mana' to use various spells and the such.

The rank's name were the same for some reason.

"Big brother, what are those giant cats with the puffy hair on their heads?"

The girl, Mia, was not sleeping this time. She was beside Yun Che for the 2 weeks and hugs him like a koala does to its mother every time they went out.

"Those are called black mane lion devils. They are very tough but these soldiers can handle them."

Mia has already seen countless dead bodies during these weeks. Whether they were Profound Beasts or the Soldiers, Mia has already seen many and gotten slightly used to it. She still feels sad about it.

Compared to our stone cold Yun Che, Mia was like the fluffy golden clouds.

"Big Brother, should we help them?"

"No, I am only here for your safety okay? We're not going to help them."

Mia sighs, she had already asked this question every time she gets near to the walls and Yun Che refuses every time.

"Let's go"

"okayy"

Yun Che and the koala like Mia ran back to the slums area. Yun Che had already made a small hidden base with his skills, they wouldn't be found out easily.

During these 2 weeks, Yun Che had stole- borrowed some herbs to refine into pills using the Heavenly Poison Bead. Those pills would heal, empower for a short time, recover stamina and Qi and various other uses.

Yun Che couldn't access his spatial storage from the bead but he could still use it's primary function to detoxify and refine pills.

Yun Che had also 'borrowed' some books regarding magic and started learning from it together with Mia.

Time flew by and another 2 weeks have passed. 

Nothing changed except for stronger units coming from both sides, the 10 Judgment Saints were now actively fighting on the battlefield. Their core regiments were still staying back and helping out for some short time, they wouldn't use much strength to make sure they were at peak condition when fighting the 20,000 elites.

As for the Superior Demons, they would be handled by the elites of the elites and the Judgement Saints.

Some elite demons were sent to probe the kingdom but the assassin's division smoothly wiped most of them out.

One day, the Demon Army stopped sending in their Demons. This was a bad omen and the Kingdom went on full alert, following the King's order.

To the King, this was the 'calm before the storm'.

The King was right as the next day, massive groups of elites started to siege the walls along with the regular Demons. The regular soldiers were having a hard time defending the walls with only catapults and their weapons.

A lot of casualties appeared in only a dozen minutes. Soon, the elite regiments under the Judgement Saints were deployed and held off the threat, saving thousands of lives. 

Ballistas were carried to the top of the walls and shot at the elites, they were controlled by a group of 5 archers so it's accuracy was improved.

Every shot from the ballistas killed at least 6 demons with some being elites. They were much stronger than catapults.

The war was so fierce that it affected some of the citizens. Some, who were closer to the walls, experienced earthquakes frequently and ran away from the walls. They were afraid of the war.

The Queen's mage division were the least affected as there were too many mages for the Demons to get close too, of course this would only last until the mages ran out of mana. A fatal weakness that mages desperately wanted to reduce.

Luckily, backup came in time and helped the mages. The healers casted a spell to quickly recover their lost mana. Soon, the Queen also came and casted numerous powerful spells that massacred the Demons. The Queen was a very powerful mage.

Overall, the kingdom managed to restore the previous stalemate and fought off the Demons. Regular soldiers weren't as effective anymore so they supported the elites from the various regiments.

During this period, a shadow quickly sneaks in the Capital City. Nobody noticed this as they were too concentrated on the Demons and the shadow was too fast.

This shadow headed towards the Royal Castle sneakily. It used a route that had been planned beforehand.

It went towards the slums first.
