The soldiers have rested up and with the help of Pete, they were easily killing the monsters in their way,
The souls of the monsters Pete killed were being absorbed by the dark holy sword,
But the next day, trolls started attacking them,
They still killed them but with there were some casualties in their side too,
After that, goblins and small monsters attacked for the day then trolls and orcs attacked for the next day,
Then orcs and trolls attacked, the combination was changing every day with seemingly no end to the monsters,
Pete was easily killing most of the monsters, so the soldiers were well rested too,
After about a week, the fight off the seemingly endless monsters, the first rate warriors has also started killing the monsters,
The monster waves getting bigger with each day, but they were still killable,
Pete's fatigue was building up due to not getting any rest.
Another week passed but the army have only travelled a quarter of the way,
Their casualties were also increasing day by day,
By the end of the month, more than a thousand soldiers were killed,
The elven king said to the dwarven king,
"Why don't we use the golems? "
The dwarven king said,
"We need the golems against the demons, we can't damage them now. "
The elven king said,
"We can't fight the demons if we die before even reaching the city. "
The dwarven king sighed and said,
"That's a fair point... so let's use the golems "
The dwarven king ordered the use of the golems,
The dwarves then filled up the golems with mana stones then sending them to fight the monsters,
This gave the soldiers an opportunity to rest,
The dwarven king then ordered Pete,
"Go and kill the monsters with golems."
Pete bowed slightly and went to kill the monsters,
The elven king asked,
"Why didn't you let him rest? "
The dwarven king said,
"We are halfway there and looking at his condition now, we can't let him rest and recover his power"
The elven king looked at the dwarven king with a confused expression on his face and asked,
"Why? "
The dwarven king looked back at him with a disappointed look and said,
"How will he go out of control if he is full of energy? "
The elven king sighed and said,
"He can go out of control without running out of energy too"
Realization fell upon dwarven king and he said,
"Well he will get out of control better if he is out of energy "
Pete was now killing the monsters with the golems,
In the next following four weeks, Pete killed the monsters nonstop without taking any break,
With each wave, the number of monsters increased and with that Pete's fatigue also rose,
The monsters were even able to damage the golems,
After all of this, they finally saw the elven city in a distance.
But the scene they witnessed looking at the dwarven city horrified them,
There were about a million monsters outside the city,
There were wolves, giant snakes and spiders, giant worms, giant bats, giant eagles, goblins, orcs, trolls, minotaur, cyclopes, undead, hellhounds and many other monsters.
If a normal person saw this scene, he would think he is in hell,
Everyone has horrified expression on their faces but only Morsh was smiling in his soul space,
Morsh was watching them with a big smile,
'These will suffice '
He then began to prepare for his longer control over the body,
The elven and dwarven kings were also dismayed after seeing such sight,
The dwarven king said,
"We can't win here.... let's go back "
The elven king said as looked behind them,
"We can't go back either "
The dwarven king turned back with a confused look but was frightened instead after seeing more than a hundred thousand monsters in their back,
The elven king said,
"We can't move forward nor go back, they must have also blocked us from the sides too. "
The dwarven king said,
"We are surrounded then... "
The elven king said,
"I don't think we are getting out of here alive "
Inside the soul space, Pete was freaking out too,
"Hey Morsh, Can you do something? "
Morsh didn't answer as he was busy making the dark energy pillars for the hole in the divine chains,
Two demon women were hovering above the monsters near the city,
One of them said,
"Sister, I think we overprepared for these ants "
"We have more than a million monsters here and a million on standby "
The other demoness said,
"We had to take precautions after they manage to kill the three sisters "
The demoness said,
"It was the hero who killed the three sisters, but I don't see him doing anything extraordinary here "
"From what I can sense, he is no more than a master ranked warrior "
The other demoness said,
"It's because he was fighting the monsters nonstop throughout their whole journey "
"There were some losses but the hero has used up more than half of his aura and haven't slept from two months "
She then waved her hand,
With her wave, the monsters started closing in,
The elven and dwarven kings now were looking left and right with a frightened expression on their faces,
The soldiers were also instinctively backing up,
The dwarves send the golems around them making a wall of golems,
But even with the golem wall, the fear in the eyes of the soldiers was clearly visible,
Pete was standing on the shoulder of an golem looking at the monsters,
The elven king said,
"The hero is our only hope now "
The dwarven king said while lifting up his hammer,
"Like I said last time, I am not going down without a fight"
He then shouted with aura infused in his voice so the whole army can hear him,
"Don't cower now, our enemies are right in front of us, we have no way to get out of here alive "
"But I am not going to die without taking a thousand of those ugly bastards "
"What are you going to do, let them trample over you or take at least half of them with you "
The soldiers knew that there is no way to escape but the dwarven king's words lit a fire in them,
They all shouted with all of their might,
"WE WILL TAKE THEM DOWN WITH US "
Their shout even stopped the monsters for a second,
But the monsters started running towards them after hearing the shout,
It was like an invitation for a feast for them,
The elven sages quickly put up a barrier around them leaving the golems outside to fight,
Pete was also left outside the barrier with the golems,
The dwarves loaded the cannons, the first rate and master rate warriors manifested aura weapons around them,
The countless aura weapons made it look like the sun has fallen to the ground,
Every weapon was now aimed at the monsters and the monsters now were in front of them,
The dwarves shot the cannons, the warriors shot the aura weapons before the monsters could even reach the golems,
*Boom*
Their attacks were so powerful that the monsters in front simply vanished,
The attack even made a circular trench around the army,
With the continuous attack, the trench even deeper and wider,
The trench now acted as a grave for the monsters where they would jump in but can't get out,
This boosted the morale of the army, but the flying monsters were now coming towards them with full speed,
But the attacks from the aura weapons disintegrated them before they can get close to them,
The two demonesses were watching this from afar,
One of them said,
"Sister, let me go there and destroy those ants. "
Other one said,
"There is no fun in that, we came here to have fun, didn't we? "
"Also they will soon run out of aura "
The aura weapons were seeming to be uncountable so the monsters too.
Pete was also attacking with dark swords and was absorbing quite a lot of monster souls,
The dark energy in the dark holy sword was getting stronger with each soul,
It was going all well but soon the aura of the first rate warriors were depleted, decreasing the numbers of the aura weapons,
Now only the master ranked warriors were attacking with the aura weapons,
But the trench was holding off the monsters before getting killed by the master ranked warriors,
Pete's sense were dulling but he was holding up his ground,
The monsters that were even scratched by the dark swords were dying,
With this Pete was practically defending a whole side of monsters,
The blood of the monsters was now filing up the trench making the soil muddy with blood,
After couple of hours, the aura of the master ranked warriors was nearly depleted,
Their attacks were getting weaker and slower,
The single hit monster was taking multiple hits now,
The dwarven king said with aura infused in his voice,
"Send the golems to the trench and rest a bit to recover your aura "
The golems were sent in the trench attacking the monsters in the trench,
The golems were strong but nowhere strong enough to stop thousands of monsters,
But with the help of cannons, they were able to held off the monsters for the warriors to rest,
The soldiers have now seen a hope of getting out of the battlefield alive, so they all brought out their rations and fed it to the first rate and master ranked warriors,
The warriors ate the things that have most protein to recover their aura quickly,
The combination of golems and the cannons was holding up monsters quite good,
After about an hour of resting, the warriors were able to recover some of their aura,
The elven king said to the dwarven king,
"How long can the golems and cannons stop the monsters "
The dwarven king said,
"We have mana stones for days so the cannons can be fired indefinitely "
"But the golems are getting damaged, and we can't repair them mid battle "
The dwarven king then sighed and said,
"At this rate, the golems can only stand for couple more hours and the magic cannons alone can't do much damage without the golems tanking. "
The next couple of hours felt like an eternity to the soldiers,
But now, the warriors have recovered their aura and were ready for the next attack,
They all lined up and manifested aura weapons and started shooting them at the monsters,
Most of the golems have been destroyed and the remaining one can't do much at this point,
The aura weapons were killing the monsters at alarming rate giving the soldiers hope to get back alive,
