A moment later, Ron Johnson, the town lord, arrived in the town square, standing before Sir. Silvester. Everyone was nervous and tense about the appearance of their lord, anticipating the announcement he would make.
Ron wasted no time in urgently announcing that the city was in imminent danger for the first time in its history and that a horde of monsters was coming, but the frightened soldiers, knowing that their lives and the lives of their loved ones were at stake, immediately became serious. Suddenly, they heard buzzing outside the city that grew louder and louder as it got closer. The soldiers were taken aback, knowing that their usual formations against large scale invasions were not up to the task of dealing with a massive monster attack, but Ron assured them that he had made a plan, and that all available forces had been mobilized to protect the existence of the city as well as the people.
Gathering a total of 5000 soldiers, a hundred knights and about 6000 peasants in the city. The soldiers who were the major force of the defense were placed in the front line in tight formation, the 3m wide alleys were cleared in advance to make room for thousands of soldiers, the knights who were the elitist force of the city were scattered in the mass of soldiers to hide and protect the soldiers against the powerful monsters that could immerse in the battle. Both the peasants and the secondary force of the city were in charge of logistics and the distribution of weapons and provisions.
As an official gave the orders for the setting up of the defensive line, the guards Jim and his teammates were called to join the first lines of defense. The men exchanged surprised looks, knowing that their usual role was to patrol the streets and guard the city gates.
"This is a joke, I've only recently been promoted. I have no experience in the battlefield?" asked Jim, puzzled.
The official shook his head, "I'm sorry, but we need every man who can fight to protect the city. Everyone new or experienced as a guard must take a stand. We can't afford to risk letting the monsters get through our front lines because of a lack of soldiers."
The guards nodded, knowing that the official was right. They had all received basic combat training, and while they were not trained soldiers, they were willing to fight for their city and for their people.
With a sigh, Jave, the senior who was listening next door, turned to his teammates and Jim. "Well, I guess we'll have to do our best. Let's be ready to give our lives for this city, Jim you'll stay behind us, don't stray too far from us or we won't be able to protect you." he said.
The other guards nodded silently, taking their positions in the first lines of defense. They knew the battle ahead would be brutal, but they were determined to protect their home and family at all costs.
The line of defence was quickly set up, the soldiers who were stationed in front of the massive gate were quickly ready to fight the monsters.
Hearing some buzzing behind, Ron appeared in the crowd of soldiers, equipped with an iron armor, he took position at the head of the soldiers with a charismatic look, he encouraged the soldiers of the battle to come, after the short motivation given by the lord, the soldiers were revitalized with energy, they were finally ready for the battle. Later, the massive gate was destroyed and Ron, the city lord, quickly decapitated a giant wolf in 2, giving the signal for the soldiers to fight.
The battle was violent and fierce. The soldiers and knights fought hard, knowing that victory was essential for the survival of their city. Unfortunately, the appearance of a single monster tipped the balance of the battle, giving the giant wolves a brief advantage that they did not miss. The defensive line was quickly cornered by the presence of a gigantic golden wolf, and within moments half of the soldiers in the front line were dead, lying on the ground while the other soldiers filled in. The morale of the soldiers was low, already imagining the disaster that was to come, but Ron, the lord of the city and the knights who were scattered in the battle were reunited to fight the golden wolf.
The soldiers noticed this and their spirits rose, which helped to push the giant wolves back, but it didn't last long. Just as Ron's group was about to charge the golden wolf, it had disappeared from where it was standing, a few seconds later a loud noise was heard throughout the battlefield, it had become silent, the eyes of all the soldiers were fixed on one particular spot.
We all saw the city lord lying on the ground, thinking he was dead, he slowly got up. As he looked towards the horrible scene, he had a desperate look on his face which gave us even more despair at the scene. It was not necessary to see in the lord's face that we were all going to die. The lord's annihilation team was quickly destroyed, the giant wolves seeing the scene quickly began to tear apart all the soldiers in the way, the soldiers who had lost all motivation tried to flee the battlefield giving a wave of fear across the battlefield.
Jim, behind you, look out!" shouted Jim's teammates. Looking behind him, he saw the giant wolf that had jumped on him inches away from Jim, seeing what was about to happen, Jim slowly closed his eyes accepting his fate.
Suddenly, a bright light burst from the sky and struck the monster, killing it instantly and saving Jim from being eaten alive. The fighting soldiers all stopped, stunned by the appearance of the divine light that killed the giant wolf before Jim. When the light faded, a blurred figure stood on the battlefield.
The figure was unrecognizable but gave off divinity in the haze that made it blur. The soldiers were stunned by the sense of comfort and the aura of power it gave off.
The figure raised its hand and began to heal all the wounded soldiers, even regrowing the limbs of those who had become disabled in battle, making them appear as if they had never been injured.
After healing everyone, the giant wolves looked warily at the figure that had appeared out of nowhere, the golden wolf watching the scene directly attacked the blurred figure, the soldiers imagining that the figure would be torn apart like the others but the golden wolf died directly a few meters away from the figure followed by dozens of wolves that inexplicably fell to the ground one by one on the battlefield.
Seeing that all the wolves were dead, the battle quickly ended when the unknown being arrived. Ron, the lord of the city, quickly approached the being and bowed to the figure who looked at him with a divine air
"I thank you so much! I can never thank you enough for saving us, without you the city would have fallen to the monsters!" the lord said to the mysterious being while crying a mountain of tears followed by all the soldiers who had witnessed the scene following the lord in prostration and thanking with gratitude the being that had saved them.
The being who had not spoken since his appearance, began to open his mouth accordingly. "I have come here to help you," he said in a clear and calm voice. I am one of the Gods of this world, come to protect the natural balance of this world. But recently I have sensed an imbalance, a disturbance in the forces of this world.
Ron, who had heard the being's words, gasped in surprise and amazement. ' ! ! Higher beings really did exist, I wasn't crazy! All my research is not in vain, the mysterious being is not. God is before me!
"I came here to help restore the balance," he continued. "But the danger is over now, I have no reason to stay so I'm going back to the divine sky," said the God who was beginning to disappear from the world.
"Wait, wait, please! What is your name?" said Ron nervously and hurriedly to the disappearing being.
Under the intense gaze of all, the god replied, "I am the Almighty God. Edmund, the original god of the world," and he disappeared completely before the stunned eyes of the soldiers. At the end of the battle, the soldiers cheered their unexpected victories under the blue sky that lit up the city, as if to celebrate the victory of humanity. The Battle of Humec will go down in the annals of human history as the appearance of a God who descended into the world to save humanity's greatest city from annihilation.
After the departure of the mysterious being, the inhabitants of the city began to rebuild their homes and return to their occupations. Later, by order of the ruler, a temple was erected to worship the god who had saved them.
A few decades later, the temple grew rapidly in size and splendour, becoming a place of pilgrimage for people from all the surrounding areas. The priests began to teach people to be humble, to believe in God, incorporating into their religious rituals the basics of what a man must do to be loved by God. The cult of the god became more and more important in the city and for humanity, to the point of elevating him to the rank of human deity.
The arrival of the god forever transforms the city and the culture of the humans by giving them a belief in a higher being.
The temple of Humec grew to accommodate the constant influx of believers, making Humec the seat of human divinity, proclaiming the birth of the god of humanity. As a holy kingdom at the health of humanity, humans soon began to believe in the existence of gods and built temples and shrines to worship them. This was the first time in the history of mankind, that the concept of religion was established, and this opened the way for mankind to a new era of belief and devotion.
