Demon General
Demon General
After Pallandro's---[Grand Fireball] incinerated the poseidon beetles, giant vines suddenly blasted out from the ground. Demon general Desrook directed it to climb the wall, creating a natural ladders.
"[Summon forest protector 2nd Tier--- Botanical Lion]"
A total of five-hundred rose-like lions appeared---
"[Summon forest protector 3rd tier--- Cactus Fighter]" followed by a hundred humanoid cactuses.
All of them started sprinting up the vine ladders. Desrook then controls a vine to lift him up to the top.
Watching this--- Pallandro started casting [Grand Fireball] the second time.
But a new swarm of black locust and a group of poseidon beetles have descended between him and the demon general--- ready to act as a meat-shield.
*arhg!*---'This bugs are annoying',
"Prepare the mystic cannons!--- aim at those plant monsters first!"
---Pallandro yelled, while he stopped casting his magic, preserving his mana.
The soldier started to activate the mystic canons, runes started to shine as a concentrated amount of mana begins to gather on its tip.
"Fire!---"
With a loud roar, the 20 mystic cannons fired a linear accelerated mass of destructive energy
---reaching the might of Tier 4 magic attack.
Seeing this, demon general Desrook also unleased a defensive Tier 4 spell---
"[Wall of Ivy]!"
An impenetrable wall of solid woven vines appeared--- acting as a shield to protect the botanical lions and cactus fighters.
*Boom--- Boom*
---most of his summoned servants manage to survive, but Desrook was left with less than half of his mana pool.
Still, Desrook successfully reaches the top of the wall.
"[Summon forest Protector 4th tier--- Giga Plant]!"
Three fifteen meter plant monsters that looks like a toad with a big mouth appeared, they then started attacking the mystic cannons.
The cactus fighters and botanical lions also started attacking the hired mercenaries and mages the moment they had reached the top.
While the swarm black locust are just too countless, a large mass of them were still sweeping the battlefield.
"Motherfucker!--- 'these mystic cannons needed more time to make another shot.'
Even if this cannons can fire a Tier 4 destructive power-- its huge cooldown time is really problematic.
Pallandro was raging as he looks around observing the state of the battlefield.
He realized that the other <Silver-rank> mages assigned to protect this gate were currently fighting that Necromancer general 300-meter away--- they are in more unfavourable condition than him.
'I have to kill this Druid general first, looking at the amount of monsters he has summoned---
I am very sure that he's almost out of mana.'
"Mages, concentrate your attacks on those 3 giant toad-plants, protect our mystic cannons at all cause!"
---he was flying towards Desrook, while giving this order.

On a different part of the East Gate--- tens of <Decayed Commander> is currently leading hundreds of <Shadow Ghoul>.
Both have <Low-Tier Physical Nullification>--- but they are weak against fighters with bludgeon type weapons.
That is why, they are currently dashing toward the sword wielding warriors.
The hordes of <Wandering Mummy> were attacking the green robe mages. They might be slow, but it would take two blast of [Fireball] to kill each one of them.
The focal point in this battlefield is at the center, where three <Silver-robe> mages are currently fighting three <Giant axe mummy>.
Two of it just got destroyed to pieces.
"Savant!--- your mana is almost depleted! I Dezard, will be taking your head as a trophy—Hahaha."
The strongest among the three laugh loudly.
"Kekeke--- ignorant little kid, it's still too early for you to defeat an old freak like me."
Savant spoke hoarsely, as he raised an ancient looking urn to the sky---
"[Soul absorbing Bone Tower]!"
Demon general Savant summons a towering pillars of carcasses.
It releases a corrosive miasma that melts the dead bodies of the surrounding fallen soldiers and mercenaries
---turning them into murky energy that heals him and replenishes his mana.
"Kekekekekeke!--- that was only the beginning brats,
[Summon 4th Tier undead--- Skelesaurus]!"
A boned dinosaur monster was conjured to the battlefield and it started charging towards the surprised mages.
"Let's see how long you can last to this monster who is immune to magic--- Kekekekekeke"
Savant gave off a sinister laughter while watching the one-sided massacre that follows.

At the Northern gate.
While the giant <Metal-armoured Bugs> are wreaking havoc on the huge iron-gate--- those 30-meter long <Giant Centipedes> were slithering their way up on the wall.
All the mystic cannons above were aiming at them--- waiting for the order to fire.
"Fire!!---"
The robust build Captain shouted, as he gives his order.
*booom--- boom*
*boom*--- chunks of meat blasted away from the giant centipedes' body, but they still continued to slither upward.
Its entire body is being protected by a durable exoskeleton, especially the head--- very few of them died during that bombardment.
While all these things are happening on the surface, the armies of <Underground Arachnid> are burrowing deep through the earth--- creating a tunnel as they bypass the huge wall.
The third demon general Emerald wasp, is currently riding on one of them.

This swarm of <Underground Arachnid> suddenly appeared behind the ground troops, who has all their attention focused on the huge iron-gate--- ready to fight once it gets breached.
As the armies of underground arachnid crashes with the unprepared soldiers, Emerald wasp managed to sneak close to a large group of green robe mages
---using her stealth skill [Refract Carapace].
"[Infestation Pandemic tier 4--- Mind Pollutants]."
Emerald wasp silently used her strongest racial skill.
An invisible mass of dust proliferates the air around its unwary victims. If someone would investigate closely this dust--- they would discover that they're actually a cluster of microscopic flies.
When the mages inhaled this dust particles, they experienced something similar to hypnotism.
They turned into a zombie-like state that would follow the commands of their queen.
"Listen closely my loyal workers, kill all those soldiers handling those mystic cannons up there." The group of dazed mages started moving, fulfilling the command of their queen.
They also broke out of their assigned station--- causing the fighting soldiers in the frontline to be left without any backup and support spells.
With this blunder, they were slowly getting crushed by the intense assault of the armored bugs.

At the top of the high wall, the soldiers and mages were busy fending off the giant centipedes when suddenly---
[Fireball]
[Earthbind]
[Freezing knives]
[Lightning]
---a barrage of spells rained upon them.
[Thunderball]
[Fireball]
[Freezing knives]
[Earthbind]
[Thunderball]
Before they could react to the sudden sneak attack--- at least 60% of them were already dead.

Three hours have passed since the start of the war--- the amount of death reaches more than a thousand.
The prime casualty came from the soldiers of this city. There was a commotion occurred atop of the wall a while ago, resulting in many deaths and the losses of many mystic cannons.
On the other hand, the hired mercenaries were in a better position since their team composition are well balanced.
"Barlow!--- Is it still not time for us to strike?"
---the violent half-beastman asked as he kicks an incoming armored-bug.
"That bastard hasn't appeared yet, we will be the one fighting the reinforcements he will be bringing."
The <Lion Blood> group who have been fighting casually all this time, had slowly maneuver away from where the crucial fights are happening.
Some groups were also doing the same--- gradually amassing around Barlow's group. All of them wears a red clothing on their arms.

On a different part of the battlefield, two <Silver-rank> mages are currently fighting against another four silver-rank mages, those two would sometimes act as a shield protecting Emerald wasp from attacks.
Suddenly---
*Boom!*
A sonic wave blasted up in the air followed by a loud--- *crashhh!*
---crushing sound.
Something or rather someone, has crashed into a tall concrete building. Some of the nearby warriors saw an old man with a long white beard trying to get out of the rubbles. His hair was disheveled--- with one of his arm severed.
A hundred meters away from him, were the Demon Lord Hannigan and a mysterious black robe man wielding two sabers.
They've been fighting for an hour now, and it seems like the winner has finally been decided.
