Chapter 252: To the war (III)
As the end of the year arrived and preparations were completed, the forces of the Xaos Kingdom began their march toward the Azarin Empire’s capital. The defenses of Xaos City were left in the hands of Overlord.
All the cities surrounding Inkmetal City had been completely cleansed of any possible threat to Xaos City. Any force wishing to harm the Xaos Kingdom’s civilians would have to traverse thousands of kilometers, giving Vlad more than enough time to mobilize his forces.
The only military power that did not march to war was the forces stationed at Nagan Mountain led by Brigadier General Mitchell. The pool of Demonblood Molten Essence was critical for the growth of Vlad, Jormungandr, and Ouroboros, and it only took one person to destroy it, so it could not be left unprotected.
The civilians in the city, especially the young, watched the military forces of the Xaos Kingdom with awe and wonder. The warriors exuded an aura of might and respect, inspiring a desire in them to join their ranks.
The Warriors, clad in massive armor resembling moving fortresses, marched alongside Mages wearing magic robes, each garment enchanted to enhance their magical power and defenses. Every one of them was a Demon Soul Master, their bodies and spirits continuously strengthened by the sealed souls of demons.
The forces were divided into three distinct legions, each with a unique role in the impending war.
The first and largest legion, known as The Golden Wave, was composed of four thousand and two hundred Mortal Tier soldiers and one hundred and twenty Champion Tier soldiers. This legion was led by the formidable Grand Marshal Anglius, a giant man standing nearly nine meters tall, clad in golden armor that gleamed with the power of his Devil Bloodline.
Grand Marshal Anglius’s massive size carried many complications in his daily life, but when it came to leading men into war, it was perfect. His imposing presence inspired the troops as it constantly depicted his power.
Thanks to his constant marches across Knight City, Grand Marshal Anglius had gained a massive amount of Origin Force. He not only killed a lot of demons, but he also obtained part of the Origin Force earned by the men under his command, as the Plane Will considered he deserved a portion due to his flawless guidance. Thanks to the continuous improvement, his body had already reached Level 10, and his energy pool was bordering Level 7. It was only a matter of time before his battle power broke into the High Champion Tier!
