The two parties left on heavenly horses. The horses were 6 feet and 7 inches tall. They were of pure white color and had white, soft, ang large feathers which allowed the to even fly in the sky. Every warrior was wearing Azure armours. The two parties passed the dimensional portal, which connected the holy land of Milo Azaloth to the maniac demons' territory, where the demon lord Afrozwein was resting. When the two parties entered the demonic territory, they stayed near the portal. Scorch got off his horse and tried to take a look at faraway surroundings by his divine eyes. A few hundred metres away, he saw an army of demons preparing to attack somewhere. He talked with Lei.
"Big brother Lei, do you have to say anything?"
"Nothing important. So we have to follow the old plan that the king announced, right?" Lei replied and then asked.
"No, there will be slight changes in the plan. If we follow mine plan, the casualties will be less." Scorch said.
"All right. I understand. Can you tell us your plan?" Lei said.
"Very well then!" Scorch said and moved forward to the middle of the two parties to grab attention. When everyone started looking at him, he said with loud voice but not that much loud that it would reach the demons' ears.
"Attention everyone! I will be announcing how the raid is going to take place. As everyone knows, the demons were planning to attack the holy land of Milo Azaloth, and were traning from a long time for the day when the demon lord Afrozwein wakes. Now, they are stationed at the entrance gate of the demonic kingdom. They are atleast 500 and we are 24. 19 under my command and 3 under Lei's command. First we will charge altogether at the entrance gate. When we will reach the gate, mine party will slash the demons' army which is stationed at the gate. While you guys will be slaying the demons, I and Lei's party will sneak inside the castle and slay the demon lord Afrozwein. I don't want any casualties. After I and Lei's party will slay Afrozwein, we will exit from the entrance itself and even if some demons will be left outside, we will leave them be and retreat for the time being. If their lord will be defeated, their spirits will also be shattered."
"YES!" Everybody shouted in unison.
"From now on the battle for the survival of humanity and divinity begins!" Lei said.
Everybody charge towards the demons. The demons noticed them charging towards the gate and fired bows and spears embedded with magic. Some bows brought thunder, but the heavenly knights negated them with their godly shields. They were wearing and holding divine and godly artifacts. There was a Lancer in Scorch's party who was 6 feet tall and was very muscular. He was bald and had a moustache. He charged towards a group of demons pointing out his spear and slaying all of them. He killed at least 30 lower demons. He was targeting the demons who were in groups so that he can slay them altogether with his spears, which were called by him, the heavenly Javelins. He didn't cared about anything and kept on slaying the demons in groups but suddenly he got surrounded by a group of demons. He swung his spears and cleared the group but after clearing it, he saw a higher demon approaching him. He thought to himself,
"I can slay that greater demon if I try once! All I have to do is drive my heavenly javelin into his heart! All right! Here I come!"
He rushed on his horse towards the greater demon but he noticed something odd. The greater demon wasn't holding any weapon. He watched everywhere for his weapon but the Lancer was unable to find it. Suddenly the demon used fire magic and the wing of Lancer's horse were burnt. Lancer got shocked and lost his balance. He tripped over a demon corpse and the greater demon cracked the Lancer's skull. Lancer died but didn't felt any regret because he died after killing 30 maniac demons. Many other heavenly warrior were getting injured like this without any regret.
Schorch was a brilliant strategist and a great magic user who slayed demons by high water pressure using the water magic generated from his godly energy. He also slayed many lower level demons in his way towards the entrance.
Chen Jiang used his one hand to throw the demons in his way and other hand, which was holding a mace, to crush the demons coming in his way.
Chen Bao used high level of fire magic to burn the demons to ashes.
Xu Jin was a skilled archer and a good warrior in long range type. He fired many arrows embedded of fire magic to pierce and burn the demons in his way.
Wang Lei used his Azure emperor prowess. Lei's body was excreting an Azure colour aura which entered the demons and pierced them like an arrow.
While Scorch and Lei's party reached the entrance gate of the castle, atleast 5 heavenly warriors and 200 demons were dead. The sacrifices of heavenly warriors helped them reach the entrance. On the entrance, a huge greater demon blocked their path. The demonic army mostly comprised of lower demons. There were a few higher demons and greater demons were very rare. At that time, Scorch shouted,
"Big brother Lei and his companions, please charge forward while I distract and slay this greater demon!"
"That is not happening! We will stay here and help you in slaying him!" Lei replied.
"Please believe me! I am the third strongest person of our kingdom after my father and you! I can easily slay this greater demon but you guys don't have time! You have to kill Afrozwein before he is completely awaken!" Scorch said.
"Very well then! I am counting on you, Scorch!" Lei said.
"Yeah!" Scorch said.
After their small talk, Lei rushed towards the gate from the left side and Scorch rushed towards the greater demon from the right side. When the greater demon, who was atleast 7 feets tall, all red, had a horn on his head and looked like a pig, saw Scorch approaching towards him, he jumped forward avoiding the water slasher of Scorch.
The demon looked like a vitality-type. He was holding a huge machete. He tried to slash Scorch with that machete but Scorch dodge it. Scorch dismounted from his horse and increased his spead by surfing on the water he created. Meanwhile, the greater demon was swinging his machete in the air without knowing Scorch's location.
Suddenly, Scorched appeared from his back and slashed his hand by his water slasher. The demon's hand fell on the ground and he was bleeding from his hand.
The greater demon dropped his machete and screamed with Anger. Scorch didn't felt right at that moment. He tried to run away from the greater demon since he was no longer in a state of fighting. When Scorch tried to approach the gate, he was surround by atleast 10 higher demons.
1 greater demon's power equals to the power of 10 higher demon but slaying 1 greater demon is easier than slaying 10 higher demons. Higher demons are fast and if they are in large number they are tougher.
That day, was marked as the grim day for Scorch. He started fighting with his water slasher but the demons kept on attacking. He lost his arm.
The greater demon saw this and started his maniac laughter. He reached for Scorch's arm, picked it up and ate it as if he was showing it to Scorch.
The other heavenly knights feared and thought to themselves,
"If the commander will be killed then how can we defeat the other demons?"
Scorch saw them fearing and shouted,
"Fret not! You still have one more commander who will defeat Afrozwein in my place! Greater works require sacrifices! Put your faith... in... Wa-ng... L-L-Lei."
These were the last words of the strongest heavenly knight of the Milo Azaloth kingdom. Scorch-Milo-Azaloth and the husband of Wang Jun. SCORCH-MILO-AZALOTH HAS PASSED AWAY.
