Before they could even start to put the dishes on the table, the earth suddenly started to rumble, and Felice did fall to the ground, luckily not injuring herself at all.
Jaana was a little bit luckier and grabbed the table and did hold on it while looking at how Elvire was doing, and she did sigh from a relive when she saw that she was holding on the kitchen counter.
The rumbling didn't stop in a while, and suddenly, there was a lot of noise from the outside, and all the warning bells started to ring, and people began to shout and panic more.
"I'm Treah, the bringer of your doom! The last thing you will hear and see! My army will destroy and kill every last one of you for the Gratagar, the mightiest beast gods that demand sacrifices!
So you all should appreciate this opportunity to become something mightier and that you will help Gratagar's cause by giving up your life's!" A voice like a thunderstorm suddenly rumbled over everyone full of maliciousness and venom to drop down the morale in the city.
The voice continued still speaking, wanting to drop the morale as low as it could and break their minds.
"There is no point of surrendering for now as you can only crawl like the insect's you are and willingly end your life and let your corpses to be food for my army that will devastate and destroy every human and eradicate them from this continent and build a kingdom for the most superior beings.
For us that you have so long suppressed, used as food and as your amusement. So now we are tired of your suppression, and this is your retribution."
The rumbling noise suddenly stopped as there was sudden golden light, and every human stopped what they were doing and kneeled and started to pray.
"You, my child, have fallen on a dangerous path and become heathen. We tolerate many religions but not those who demand humans as a sacrifice as they aren't religions anymore; it's the devil's work. Something unholy that cannot be tolerated, and it's our obligation to terminate you and get this demon-worshipping cult out of the continent and out from the whole world.
So my children even when you wouldn't worship Falcar still he is here with you all today like your gods will be so don't let that heathens word gets inside your head as today our gods are with us Falcar especially, and they are asking us to destroy that heathen human scarfing cult out from this world." The pope of Falcar ended his speech and cast a divine blessing to everyone who believed even little bit to Falcar healing them and calming their minds giving them more strength and will to fight.
^In the war room^
When the pope ended his speech he slumped down to the chair and started to cough as that divine blessing used so much of his strength, but he also said to everyone he is fine, and this is normal after the blessings, so everyone did leave him alone, but they didn't see that he was coughing blood.
"I did send a message to the capital and asked about the army, but they said the army wouldn't be ready in at least two days, and then they would need to march here so we might have to survive a week without them.
So now as a commander of the fort, I suggest that your church will get your men inside for now and let's first use our arrows and mage's to thin the enemy lines, and after it, we will use the soldiers and march from the gate to direct combat." Albert said and looked up to the church people who started immediately shout how Albert even could suggest something and how he even dared to order the church around.
But Albert ordered his guards to detain one of the loudest ones and did order them to punch him to the stomach a couple of times without injuring him.
That got the church's people even angrier, and they called Albert heathen, and they almost did draw their weapons, and Albert just smirked.
"I'm the commander of the fort yes I don't care about your status you are here now surrounded by soldiers, so I make the decision here I don't care how strong you are or what status you have as my soldiers will listen to my orders no matter if I would tell them to kill themselves.
So I suggest you shut up your mouths and listen to my orders, and you even haven't heard your pope in this matter are you going to ignore him too?" Albert asked and showed how confident he was.
"Listen to Albert tell our men to retreat to the city and listen to Albert's commands as he is the only one of us who have fought in real wars and knows what he is doing.
So I wouldn't go and offend him at all or question his orders or if some of you think that they are the better commander and knows the military tactics or how real war looks like a step up then and let's see what you have to say." The pope said after Albert as he wants mad at all that Albert did beat up one of his men as they were getting too confident and used to a luxurious lifestyle where they could command everyone around so some order would be good at them.
Everyone from the church's side didn't know what to say as their pope was on Albert's side and what he said was so true, so they were ashamed and wanted to hide somewhere when Albert's men just laughed at them and made fun of them.
"So good men hurry up and listen to the commands we have a war to fought here, and we don't have time to useless fights," Albert said, and everyone expect the pope, and Albert hurried out from the room.
