First Encounter

After some time passed by, all the knights and other warriors were gathered in the court yard. Everyone was standing in line waiting for their order to act. At this point Gerald Wimbledon exited the building and went to an elevated position.

"My brothers. It is finally time, the moment we came here for will soon be upon us. The devils spawn will shortly show themselves. We, the glorious knights of Graycastle, are tasked with defending the north-western region of the wall. Let's show these church goers how we, the prestigious knights of Graycastle deal with our enemies! Let them fear us!"

Speaking these words, the whole courtyard was broken into cheers. The sound was so high that it felt as if there was an earthquake going on. Holding his hand up, the cheers started to dim. "Now before we move out, it is important that everyone kno-" "BANG!!! BANG!!" Before Gerald could finish up his sentence, bells could be heard from the watchtowers.

Everyone started to tense up a bit, it was so far, they would finally face their enemies and witness the demonic beasts. Forgetting his previous sentence, Gerald ordered his soldiers "As you can hear, our enemies have arrived. Let's not keep them waiting. Move Out!"

…

Climbing up onto the wall, James could feel his nerves getting tenser by the second. It is finally time to prove to everyone that coming from a lower class nobility does not matter when facing the enemy. Everyone bled the same color blood. It was time to rank up prestige.

Staring into the horizon, James could see hundreds of beasts charging towards The Holy City. There were various beasts, including demonic boars and demonic wolves. Hundreds of crossbowmen as well as archers readied to lose their bolts and arrow.

Not even 10 breaths passed and James heard the order "Loose!" coming from the side. At this command, every ranged soldier shot their projectiles towards the beasts. Many arrows and bolts either missed their targets or just bounced off the hard skin of these beasts. James now understood the ferocity that these beasts have. However there was no way that these beasts could do something to them this high up.

Projectile after projectile was shot towards the beasts. After roughly 5 minutes, the numbers of these beasts started to dim down. It was clear that these walls were the reason that The Holy City of Hermes could survive for all these years.

"bwAAAAAAAHHHP!" Just at this point, a horn was blown. James heard somewhere that these horns were meant for special occasions. "Either a demonic hybrid was approaching or…" Just before James could finish his thought, he saw a dark cloud moving closer to the walls. It was the second option. Hundreds of flying demonic beasts from all sizes came towards the walls.

It is so far, "finally I can show them what I can do" James drew his sword and got ready. Counting down every feet that the flying beasts came closer to him in his heart, James could feel the excitement mixed with his nerves. Just a bit more, and it is time to fight.

As the flying beasts were at the walls, James heard the order to charge, "CHAAARRRGGGEEE!!"
