Outside the kingdom of Aetherion a fleet of floating Ships could be seen descending onto the forest outside, The propulsion caused by the ships thrusters blowing away most of the land and animals residing in them
As soon as the ship had landed, the backside of the ship started to open outwards and settled into the form of a Ramp
As all the ships were landed and each ship was opened, From the inside Numerous
numbers of soldiers could be seen marching outwards, Running and forming a semi circle
position around the kingdoms perimeter
Then from the Largest ship that had landed Ten people simply Got off as they made their
way to the front
These people were known as the Holy knights of the Legion
Gauss The Rampager, A Special Grade 2 Steel Mage
Immanuel the Bolt, A Special Grade 1 Electricity Mage
Mrs Voldegauld the Unforgiving, A Special Grade 1 Fire Mage
Moca the Gentle, A Special Grade 1 Wind Mage
Cyra the Warrior, A Special Grade 1 Light Mage
Raphael the Hawk, A Special Rank 2 Bow Specialist
Natasha the Undead, A Special Grade 1 Summoner Mage
Dimitri the Savior, A Special Grade 1 Healing Mage
Thiva the Titan, A Special Rank 2 Tank
Ford the Mustang, A Special Rank 2 Tank
As all these knights assembled at the front of the squad, which consisted around Thirty
Thousand soldiers each of them knitted in their most powerful Armour
Gauss turned around with a Stoic expression on his Face and started Speaking
"We have received Information from our Detection Squad that the beast that has brought so much misfortune to our Kingdom is being kept here" Gauss spoke out with such seriousness the soldiers standing infront of him suddenly stood even more straighter
"And it should also be noted" The voice of Mrs Voldegauld suddenly spoke up "That the
rulers of this kingdom have not notified us of the Beasts presence" Mrs Voldegauld finished as she pointed her long dark fingers straight towards the kingdom, A look of Hate in her eyes
A tiny and meek voice immediately followed after as Moca stood forward "Now we don't
know for sure why The rulers haven't contacted us, Maybe they are trying to extract information from him?, Or maybe the beast has took over the kingdom, whatever it is we should go in and help them" Moca replied with a sympathetic tone as she talked in favor of the rulers
Mrs Voldegauld immediately turned around to face Moca "What they do or not do doesn't
concern us, Stop trying to defend the criminals Moca" Mrs Voldegauld slightly raised her voice at Moca while staring at her
A hand softly caught Moca's shoulder "Hey back off of her, She simply gave some of her
opinions, if anything we should be listening to her, Everyone here is saddened by the loss and destruction that happened because of this beast, And only Moca here is giving level headed opinions"
Immanuel Spoke up for Moca as he squeezed her shoulders a bit
Mrs Voldegauld looked at Immanuel with a look of annoyance and turned around with a
huff as she looked forward at the kingdom
"Thank you for that Immanuel" Moca replied with a smile as she placed her hand over the
hand on her shoulder a slight blush appearing on her face
"O..Oh that's completely fine Moca, Always happy to help" Immanuel replied as a slight
blush formed on his Face
The Wind started rustling again when Raphael spoke up "I'm gonna go and perch on top of our ship, If anything happens I'll inform you guys" Raphael walked off with his bow and quivers fully stocked up
"Thiva, Ford you're with me we're gonna go up to the Kingdoms entrance and ask to meet with the Rulers" Gauss spoke as he stood up straight from the tree he was leaning on,
Before leaving towards the kingdom Gauss turned towards Immanuel who was preparing his weapon, Gauss handed him a small silver coin "The second this coin in your hand bends in Half, you will start the attack
Immanuel nods towards Gauss as he returns back to polishing his Blade
At the back of the group no one could exactly see the Wide and Crazed Grin Cyra had on
her face due to the mask she was wearing
She was breathing quite heavily, the sides of her lips Bleeding slightly from the force of her teeth biting down on them "Just a few more
Hours master and I can finally be in your presence" She spoke as her Hand started
Crushing the Shield she was holding
The Sun was starting to set as three figures could be seen walking onwards the kingdom of Aetherion
"I'm gonna request to see the rulers and when they come here I'm gonna tell them what's Happening, If they seem hostile I'll activate the signal, If they seem co-operative we move forward" Gauss explained as he walked towards the Kingdom gates
The Golden Dome from Earlier sprang up again as it prevented people from crossing into the kingdom
Soldiers could be seen at the towers situated On the Bridge walls
"What is your business here" One of the Soldiers spoke up as he readied his crossbow
"The kings are busy right now, And they are not Taking any visitors" Another Soldier replied as he cocked his crossbow and aimed it at the three figures
"I apologise for my intrusion, I'm simply here to talk about a certain guest of the kings, Tell
the King's that Gauss from the Legion is here to See them" Gauss replied as he used his
Steel Magic to lock on to the coin in Immanuel's Hand
After a few minutes of Silence the gates suddenly started to drop down, As the gates
settled down five figures could be seen
standing Behind the Gates
"Greetings Sir Gauss, what a pleasant surprise, what must one of the Holy knights of the Legion be doing at the Kingdom of Aetherion" Escanor replied as he put on a Fake cheery accent
"I am here on official Legion business I'm afraid, I'm gonna cut to the chase, You are
holding a Beast in captivity, A beast that has caused a lot of troubles for the Legion"
Gauss replied as he looked straight towards the figures
"I'm sorry my friend but there is no beast here, Just an old friend who came to visit, I'm
quite sure he has done nothing of those sorts of crimes, he would've told me If he did
someth-" Escanor started speaking but was interrupted as Gauss Raised his voice to
announce something
"Fifteen deaths of the Legions soldiers were reported to be in the casualty list of this beast, With two of them being the now deceased God Rank fighters in the Region"
Gauss replied as his eyebrows smushed up together in annoyance, "I have no idea what this deal of your's is with this monster but I'm asking you to hand him over to us right this instant" Gauss shouted as his voice shook with anger, the Crossbows the soldiers were holding being crushed because of its Steel casing
The five figures did not respond to this but on the inside they knew just how bad they
messed up
"Guess the kid wasn't as smart as he looked" Tesla muttered as he stepped forward "I'm sorry for the amount of chaos Our friend has caused you, We the ruler of Aetherion are willing to pay for and cover for any damages dealt by our friend"
"Do you honestly think this is about money" Gauss looked at them furiously as stepped
forward "What we want is Justice for our Fallen comrades, So do not think money will fix this probl-" A gust of strong wind could be heard as everyone turned to look at the sound
On top of the Tower of the Bridge a Figure could be seen crouching down on it Staring right at Gauss
What Gauss felt in that moment could be described as sheer terror, it was like being
plunged in cold water as he started directly at the blood red and lifeless eyes of the figure,
The figures flowing white hair, The figure looked like the devil's Incarnation
"What do you want with me" Afo spoke as he looked down towards the human who was
now visibly shaking
"Y..You murderer" Gauss weakly spoke out as he immediately sensed out and crushed the coin in Immanuel's Hand
"Speak up insect" Afo yelled back as he jumped off the tower intending to land on Gauss, instead he was suddenly blocked as two shields immediately clashed on top of Gauss protecting him from Afo, Afo sighed as he a stepped on the shields and jumped back
"Listen I don't know what you want from me but you better Scram" Afo spoke up as he
stood tall, the air around him whipping around
A hand clasped down on Afo's shoulder "I can sense enemies coming in, Do not kill anyone and stick to knocking the enemies out" The voice of Tesla could be heard from his Side
Afo shoved Tesla's hand off
Outside the war-cries of thousands of soldiers could he heard as the ground started to vibrate from the intensity of their marching
From the forest soldiers could be seen running out with their weapons held high, the rest of the knights running alongside them
"Raphael now" Voldegauld announced into a prism, as she looked back towards their ship
"Roger that" a response was sent forward as Raphael docked up a special glowing arrow
"let's see how well this works" Raphael readied the arrow and shot it off towards the Giant Golden Dome
The arrow could be seen zipping past everyone as It struck the Dome exactly where Gauss was standing
Nothing happened for a bit but suddenly he Dome started to tear and crackdown as the
golden pieces started falling apart
"PROTECTION RUNES DAMAGED"
A voice rang out from Tesla's pockets as he pulled out a Tiny Gem
"They have infiltrated our base, We need to protect the people" Tesla announced with
urgency as he signalled for the others to stand guard
Tesla raised the gem to his mouth as he spoke into it
"Activate War protocol"
Immediately the kingdom started to rumble as the portion with the citizens inside started to sink into the ground, while the exposed part started to be covered up with a layer of dark stone
"It's gonna take at least Fifteen minutes for the process to finish, Until then we defend the Kingdom" Tesla replied as the other Rulers grouped up next to him
"And Afo keep the casualty to a minimum, don't kill any more people unless you absolutely have to" Tesla spoke up as Afo was preparing to charge in
"Yeah I know keep the destruction to the minimum blah blah blah" Afo replied as he got into a battle stance
The winds started howling wildly around Afo, The Five rulers also got into their fighting
stance as each one of them could be seen glowing slightly
On the opposite side Electricity, Fire and Various other attacks could be seen lighting up the battlefield
"We can finally be one again my darling" Cyra whispered to herself as she bashed the
already deformed shield she was holding onto into the head of one of the soldiers while no one else was looking
