Defence 1

Three days after our small victory a much larger human army arrived. They found some of those fleeing soldiers who told them of the battle. That made them more cautious. The armies marching here joined forces before arriving. That took much of their time. Thanks to this we got more time to prepare.

Now is been a week since their arrival and they haven't made a move yet. In the meantime they set up a camp nicely with defences too. They have also sent soldiers around to explore the terrain. After they got a grasp on it they have made a wall to surround us completely.

Unfortunately for them like us there's not much material to work with here. Their camp defences are mostly made out of dirt and rocks found here and not much more. They tried making a watchtower but give up because of lack of materials. They have actually made some siege weapons like trebuchets but in small quantities. This place doesn't have much to offer thankfully. By the way this also means all of my defences are made of dirt or rocks found here.

Even so thanks to magic they and we are able to make some fine works with dirt and rocks in a short time.

I must say. This army it's huge. I know from my spies that the supply line is huge too. Because all this area has been devastated they have to bring supplies from far away and in large quantities for such a huge army. This is one of the reasons why many armies are actually on standby all over the place. Officially they are looking for demon survivors and clearing the way. The truth is the rivalry between the countries involved is great. They don't want to spend more than necessary on this campaign.

For starters this place is a really critical area. The dungeon is on a hill near the edge of a huge valley. On this valley once ruled a republic but it was unfortunately surrounded by four greater powers. There has always been tension between these nations. The four great powers wanted this place and it actually allowed the republic a long life but it didn't last forever. Fifty years ago this valley was invaded by their armies. It almost escalated in an all out war between four great nations but ultimately it was avoided and the valley was divided between them thanks to the intervention of some heroes. They are very influential. Even so the tensions didn't end there. Minor disputes over the borders threatened to broke in war. To avoid this the entire area was demilitarised eight years ago. Again thanks to the heroes. Truly marvellous.

Now this area is heavily militarized. Some rumours between the higher ups say that most of the heroes are currently trying to alleviate the tensions between the great powers. It seems that in the end the worst enemy of humanity is itself. I would love to see them fight between themselves. The irony of it is that this valley now is for the most part a wasteland.

Anyways those rumours say the heroes will not be coming anytime soon. Unfortunately these are just rumours. My spies are actually pretty good at their job but that kind of information seems to be not here to begin with. That is why I sent a spy outside this valley. I want to infiltrate the real headquarters of this operation.

This headquarters should be somewhere outside the valley to the north... Yeah that wasn't very specific. Unfortunately that is all I know.

The army here is from the seven great powers and some minor nations on their sphere of influence. Apparently there is no hero present but my amazing spies told me that there are two entities with a huge amount of energy in the camp. Unfortunately they weren't able to see them. I guess they should be those two again. I will be able to have my revenge... somehow.

I have new traps for them and also a huge surprise for their army. I should be able to lure them if they come out and kill them. The main problem is that girl. She is a very cautious one. Well now I will not be able to go out to fight them. The army is way too large for me to try an attack. This time I shall defend behind these walls. But that doesn't worry me too much. I have more traps behind the walls anyways. They will suffer soon enough these horrors.

...

Or so I thought but they haven't made a move yet after another week. They really got on my nerves. I felt so stressed that I was about to attack them instead but somehow chose to wait a day to do it. I wanted to go directly to the heroes and have my revenge at any cost.

Unfortunately my dreams never come true. They attacked the next day. I'm now facing their army as they advance to our walls. A while ago they have started to attack with their trebuchets. Most of those attacks have been neutralised by our magic. Was that why they made so few? No well I suppose that numbers large enough would actually made a difference.

Still... I wonder why they don't have any cannons. Truly mysterious. Is it because of magic? To be fair I don't know much about their civilization. All I have seen are their armies and the debris left behind by my demons. Maybe I can go and see the world of I survive... and if the demons don't destroy it first.

Finally they got between our range. A series of attacks are interchange between my demons at the walls and the soldiers advancing. They got no covers on this battlefield plus I made the terrain somewhat hard to pass through. They only got the covers they made. Magic makes this all the more hellishly. Fire spread across the land, ice stakes cover the walls, rocks are all over the air and the wind rage against the walls. This is chaos. I could have thought it would be this great.

The last time the fight was mostly melee because the enemy rushed to help the hero and the magicians had to help with the rampart. Now the fight is all ranged. This is beautiful but they haven't stopped to admire the scene they made but instead keep going forward to the wall.

Alright I have to keep it together too. The great battle has started. More difficult battles may come in the future but now all that matters is to win this one. My life depends on it as well as the ones of my enemies. All of us are fighting with our life at stake here. The world destruction or a life in hell. I have chosen. I will win. I will kill all those who oppose me.

The front soldiers arrived to the ramparts and are crossing it. Most of them are crossing through the especially most easy parts. That is just right my friends. Don't you know that going to hell is easy? Well too late anyways!

The ground breaks apart and hundreds of soldiers fall on a pit filled with spikes at the end. Most of them meet their end there. Hell does not forgive any mistakes only a benevolent God would. You guys came to the wrong place. You are all going to die.
