Kingdom of Siltrozzo,
Main Head Quarters,
Granbell Rosso POV,
Granbell Rosso was shocked, he already knew that the army belonging to the God of Calamity was on the move but the entire world expected them to simply assault Falmuth and then move on to Dwargon. After all why bring such a gigantic army to strike down a small kingdom like Siltrozzo but that is exactly what happened. The kingdom was encircled, or to be precise the Capital was encircled but that was all it was, this small kingdom was comprised of a single gigantic city.
"What did we do?" he questioned out loud but every person in the room was silent, none of them knew what they had done to upset Galahad, a Demon Lord thought to have been sealed or in slumber for millenia. This was going to be a defensive battle and their odds weren't good, furthermore Granbell Rosso wasn't the kind of man who would let innocent civilians die.
"How goes the evacuation?" he asked one of his generals, "Well most of the population is in the shelters constructed by Lady Mariabell, but where will they go?" he said sweating a bit, the pressure Granbell exuded wasn't exactly small. Granbell smiled a bit, in the end his granddaughter really did care for the people. He looked to the cloaked figure standing in the corner of the room, "I'll be relying on you again my friend."
Razul who was an insectar that had been thrown here and was taken care of by Granbell simply bowed and nodded, "As you wish." he would do anything for the man he considered his brother. His claim about equaling Guy wasn't so far fetched either, while not the strongest by far the Insectar race was the natural enemy of the Demons and massacred them quite easily, therefore the Demons killed individuals as soon as they were born because fully matured ones could easily commit genocide against the Demons because of their racial advantages.
Razul was a fully evolved, matured and completely humanoid Insectar, anyone that came across him was quite literally fucked, he was just that strong. However, there are always stronger individuals. Granbell slammed his fist down, "The bastard wants me to hand over my granddaughter, well he can get her over my corpse! We're moving!" even if small their forces numbered almost 80,000 while they were outnumbered by ten to one they had a Peak True Demon Lord Class individual Razul and the True Hero Granbell Rosso, their odds weren't that bad.....or so they believed.

Kingdom of Siltrozzo,
Outskirts,
Galahad POV,
Galahad cracked his neck and walked out of the carriage, fully armored. He was ready to put some bugs in their place though he wasn't particularly fond of lazy him's decision to kill a ten year old girl. "Well then let us move." he said slightly raising his head and walking forward as the entire forces kneeled and made way for him.
He nodded content, this was his rightful place above others. He tuned into some conversations going on, "Well let's kick some ass and take some names!" someone said, "Gotchu my brother!" someone responded making Galahad chuckle, these types of conversation were amusing to listen to. He looked up and activated his Clairvoyance before smirking, "Oh." they were gearing up for a defensive battle, well it wasn't surprising considering their numbers were too small for a head on confrontation.
He walked to the front and curiously looked at the walls. Granbell Rosso was looking straight at him, standing in the middle of men that had been stationed on the capital walls, he raised his voice, "Kneel and submit." that would be the smart choice but apparently the enemy wasn't really fond of that choice.
This time it was Granbell Rosso's turn, he knew he needed to raise the morale of his men and so he chose to do that through a speech, "What have we done to agitate you?!" he asked loudly making Galahad laugh, "I do what I want, I need not reason for my actions." that was what he genuinely believed.
"See that my people?! He chooses to attack us for no reason at all but simply because he felt like it! He is a monster! One whose existence is a threat to the world itself, who know he may end up destroying humanity?! BUT! Do we care about that?! No we do not! We are simply people who were going about their peaceful lives when this man chose to intrude upon that! He chose to disturb our peace for entertainment?! Does he have that right?!" He asked loudly raising his hand.
"NAY!" his men cheered. "No he does not! But since we have been forced into this by him we have no choice but to fight! Therefore that is exactly what we shall do! We shall strike down this evil not for God not for some supreme entity but for ourselves! Our homes! Our families! Are you with me!?" He shouted loudly his hand still raised, he was still a Hero what sort of Hero would he be if he couldn't motivate his own people.
"OHHHHH!!!" They broke into loud cheers, Granbell was right! That monster had no right to do this there fore they would fight! "We'll resist even if it's meaningless! We shall struggle down to our last breath! Down to the last man! In the end even if we don't get our victory, we will die in peace knowing out lives were given for our homeland and for our people!!" He once more encouraged them and it worked, their morale broke through the roof as they started banging their weapons on the ground while cheering.
Galahad slightly stumbled back much to the shock of his own men, he put a a hand on his face and looked up. Everyone looked towards him wondering what had happened before, "Kuhahahahahahaha!! Fool, you think too much of yourself!" did this idiot think that riling them up would help against them, he stomped his foot on the ground making an even louder sound muting them out.
"A Hero? Hero huh?! Well fine! I'll recognize that determination of yours! You wish to face a monster?!" They had the courage to stand up and even shout in his face, that was commendable! "I'll grant that wish!" he thre out his hands as his golden wings took a more darker color, turning into a mix of silver and black as his Halo's color dulled even further.
He swung his hand, "Hear me you fools! Indeed your determination is commendabel! But you do not realize what you are facing. I shall give you a chance submit now and you will be spared!" he announced as dark clouds started covering the clear blue sky but recieved no response, they wished to trample over his generosity then fine, he closed his eyes, "If you wish to reject then you will be removed, like all others who would dare defy me." he muttered and raised his hand, his own people however looked at him like a messiah, "How kind." even after they denied he gave them a chance, that was a total of three now.
"Hear me my people! These heretics dare go against my will, I was gracious enough to give them not one, not two but three chances to surrender! But they are too blinded by their heresy to even consider my words. I declare them heretics. You people know what to do with heretics, don't you?!" he shouted giving a speech of his own, if that ant could do it why couldn't he?
"PURGE!!" loud cheers rang out, so loud in fact that the previous cheering by the enemy seemed like a simple fire cracker compared to a full firework! "Purge the heretics!!" one shouted, that was what they were going to do. Any who dare to go against the will of a God are automatically labelled as Heretics, that's just how religions work.
"Go forth in the name of the Holy God of Calamity!" he swung his hand as roars rang out, hundreds of thousands started banging their weapons on the ground, that banging was so loud it was heard be even the civilians that were in underground shelters. The ground shook under their pressure, "For the Calamity God!!" they roared as even the more beast like monsters slammed their limbs into the ground adding to it.
But that wasn't it! No far from it! Galahad walked forward and stomped his foot on the ground once. The sound of something tearing through the sky was heard before four very distinct roars rang out.
*RROAARR*
With that four gigantic dragons landed next to him throwing up dust in every direction, they once more raised their heads and roared again, "Know your place fool." Galahad muttered, yes it was commendable and very brave but extremely idiotic to literally try to go up against someone who can wipe them off the face of the Earth with a single swipe from his hands.
He raised his head slightly and grinned, "Don't think any of you will be surviving this, that would be me spitting on the courage and determination which I myself have recognized." he snapped his fingers making a golden pyramid appear over the entire kingdom, this barrier would stop anything even a soul from escaping this place and was made through Purity King Metatron, it was a barrier quite literally made out of light.
"We'll purge the fuckers six ways from sunday!" a man shouted raising his spear and throwing it directly at the wall, "What's that going to do?" an enemy soldier questioned, a single spear can't even scratch a wall much less destroy it. Except he underestimated them as the spear turned into a light beam and blew a hole through the wall before going to the sky and dissipating.
