Chapter 158: Age of Tyrants (8)
* * *
The vanguard of the Crescent Alliance’s 6th legion had captured the Habsburg Empire’s fortress city of Krems!
It wouldn’t be enough to simply say it was captured. There was a slaughter. Even though there were two swordmasters, Beleth swept through the fortress like a violent gale.
Every last imperial soldier resisted till the very end as if they were trying to prove to the world that they were the most elite soldiers. They didn’t start flailing like animals once their chances of survival vanished completely. They persistently and tenaciously fought back desperately in order to at least take one more person with them to the grave.
They fought back while believing that the more they struggled, the longer their empire would survive.
“Ooh.”
Demon Lord Beleth could only be moved by their valiant spirit. A single tear flowed down his crude face. Beleth was an emotional man. Even if he couldn’t think with his head, he knew how to feel with his heart. He gave an order as his emotions gushed forth.
“Slaughter all of the people within the fortress. Make their final moments more tragic so that they will be decorated as heroes.”
Beleth had lived for more than a thousand years. He knew rather well what he had to do to remain in human history. He went as far as to slow his advance to personally kill the humans that were residing in the fortress.
