Chapter 76: Facing the high demonic horde!
The following days were bustling with activity at the Silent Wind Military Base as everyone, soldiers and civilians alike, carried out their duties. Twenty days after Vlad’s return, the moment they had all been waiting for—and dreading—finally arrived.
"Rumble!!!"
Nearly two hundred soldiers were positioned atop and beneath the southern walls of the Silent Wind Military Base. They could see a massive horde of over 7,000 demons marching toward them.
Vlad had killed thousands taking down the bridge, but it was clear they gained more in the way. Luckily, most were low-level demonic beasts.
The high-ranking horde was at the base of the mountain, advancing rapidly. In less than half an hour, the front of the horde would reach the southern wall, and the all-out battle would begin—a fight where they would have to put their lives on the line.
General Anglius stood at the top of the wall, his eyes sharp and resolute, serving as a figure people could see and rely on. He had already gained the respect of all the civilians who reached the military base. They knew he was strict yet fair, and while he pushed others to their limit, he pushed himself even harder.
Seeing the middle-aged man stand with them gave the people some confidence, but the general could see how fragile that was. The seasoned soldiers were fine, but the civilians, who had too little time to train, struggled with the tension despite their Paths and Levels.
Just as General Anglius was thinking about the best way to improve their morale before the great battle, something amazing and shocking happened: a figure descended from the air, covered in lightning!
Immediately, all eyes turned to the lightning figure who descended to the top of the walls like a divine entity.
