The demons stopped right outside our archers' range after they got here but they were in range of the mistmen but I had them hold fire for now until we figure out their plan.
After a minute two figures walked through the army of demons they were wearing regal looking armor.
The first one's armor was made of steel with a red gem in the middle he had steel shoulder guards his helmet had goat horns and a spike on the top. His skin was red he was about 6 foot 5 he wielded a sword with a dark blade with a few runes engraved in it his eyes were blue with a bit of green in them.
The second one was female she was wearing a large coat that went down to her feet with fur at the collar of the coat she was a succubus but with a dark magic demon appearance she had no weapons so I guess she uses magic I heard the flapping of wings beside me Hecale landed beside me and was shocked.
"Mother."She said my eyes widened as I looked back at her there was definitely a similarity to their looks.
"What should we do with her?" I asked.
"I would like it if you captured her alive she was the only one that was ever kind to me in Tartarus,"Hecale said. "The other appears to be one of the seven demons lords. Be careful around him." She said.
He didn't look that dangerous but if Hecale is worried I should be careful.
"Fire," I told the mistmen as they fired ice spikes at the demons they all hit their marks causing the demons to panic and charge. The archers fired immediately seeing as how they were now in range the wave of arrows wash over the demons as the orb glowed inside the bag as it gathered their souls.
"Ram the gates." One of the demons yelled before being shot in the neck with an arrow.
Some of the demons were lifting battering rams and they were now trying to break through the gates any demons who had shields were blocking the arrow from hitting them." Bring them down." I said as my bonemen and Regem's archers started to join the fight as they got on the wall.
They were starting to break the gates and the death knights were using their massive shields to plug any holes that appeared.
They were now breaking through the gates. The undead were the first to fight them as Regems guards were trying to get the civilians to safety. I looked to where the demon lord was but he was gone, however Hecale's mother was still standing there.
"Where did he go." I said looking for the demon lord but no one could find him.
They had now broken down the gate and I jumped out the wall to join the battle but I was flung through a building as soon as I touched the ground.
I got up out of the rubble and looked around for what attacked me then out of nowhere the demon lord appeared in front of me and jump kicked me into another building. "What the fuck." I shouted as I went through another building.
I got out of the rubble again he appeared but I managed to dodge his next attack by jumping on top of the building I sensed no magic when he attacks so it must be his speed.
"You're not using magic are you?" I asked and I saw him grin under his helmet.
"You are one of the few people to figure it out before they die. My speed is what made me a demon lord." He said.
He lifted his sword and disappeared again only to reappear in front of me and for some reason, I was feeling a bit of deja vu from what I did not remember. Our fight continued as we crossed blades he was slower for some reason when we were fighting close quarters so he is limited to what he can do when he has little room to move.
He thrust his sword forward but I swung my sword around so it only grazed me on my shoulder. He then looked to a nearby building and vanished. I quickly looked at the building and he reappeared, still in the stance he was in when he vanished that is when it hit me. After seeing this I had a theory, however it was very risky but had a good chance of succeeding.
He got in a low stance with his sword at his side and vanished again and instantly reappeared in front of me. I put my sword to my side and blocked his blade. "Yes, it worked." I said.
"What do you mean and how did you block my attack." He said.
"It was risky but it works I figured out with your speed you have little control over it. That is why you have to stop to attack; you can only travel in line of sight. That is why you looked at the building. Not only that but you can not speed up your attacks in a close quarter fight, so you use your speed to get a jump on your opponents." As I explained he became more and more furious as his movement become filled with rage and much more predictable. Suddenly I remembered where I've seen this before. It was Dispo all over again. Even though this demon had little control over his speed he was still difficult to fight. Even though I could read his movements he was still very fast.
He tried to swing his sword at my head but I leaned back to dodge it. Even still it scratched my cheek. I got back in my stance and tried to stab him however he jumped back only causing my sword to get caught on his helmet pulling it off his head.
He lunged at me with his sword pointed forward. I saw that this was my chance. Ducking below the blade I thrust my sword forward through his gut. He fell to the ground behind me with my sword still through his stomach. He started coughing up blood as he got up.
"You will never win this war. This is only the beginning of the end for you and every mortal on this planet" The demon lord said as he tried to pull out my sword casing him to bleed faster. "Circe's demon army is endless it is hopeless to fight us." He said as he pulled out the sword which was the only thing that was keeping him from bleeding out. He collapsed on the ground from blood loss dying shortly after that.
I heard clapping behind me and turned around to see Hecale's mother standing with a smile. "Handsome and clever I like you already" She said I held out my hand and my sword flew towards me and into my hand as I pointed it at her."There's no need for that I came to surrender to you." She said but I doubted that.
"Forgive me if I have my doubts." I said as she took off her coat. She wore a black skintight bodysuit that nearly blended in with her skin the only thing that revealed the suit was the ends of the sleeves being red showing she was actually wearing something. She had no sword or any kind of weapon hidden under the coat.
"I am unarmed," She said I lowered my weapons as my undead grabbed her arms and put magic suppressing cuffs on her, taking her away.
"Master I believe it is time to use the shadow demons," Phantom said as he left my shadow he was right we never tested them and we did not know their capabilities.
"Hmm yes, I suppose you're right. Go have some fun." I said as my shadow started erupting. Shadow demons starting flying out and letting out terrifying screeches that caused demons and citizens alike to cover their ears and cower as they heard them.
The shadow demons were using their long claws to rip through the demons armor and weapons they were also grabbing them and carried them high in the air and dropped them to their deaths.
We heard roaring in the distance as the battlefield outside the city was suddenly covered in flames, the dragons had arrived just in time to finish off the rest of the demons.
Torch, Regem, and Daron walked towards me Regem was covered in demon blood but Daron was perfectly fine. "Hey, Daron where were your warriors during all this?"I asked him and he laughed nervously then Regem stepped in.
"I asked him and his warrior to watch over the people in case the demons found another way into the city," Regem said and I nodded and the shadow demons started flying into my shadow. I looked back to Regem and the others and they had angry looks on their faces."Why do you have demons under your control!" He yelled.
"I created them a while ago but never had the chance to test them they seem to be effective in the fight they are shadow demons they are made of shadow and most of the time reside in my shadow when they are not fighting for me they are no danger to us but to the demons that is a different story," I explain they still had an angry expression but they understood and put it to the side for now. "Now I must return to Minas Morgul to resume my duties," I said as my undead left through the portal and I did shortly after the undead went back into storage except for the undead knights which rejoined the royal guard.
