Chapter 514: Fairy Tail Demolition Team Begins Work
"W-what was that?!"
"The... the gate... it’s gone!"
"M-Monsters! They’re monsters!"
The guard captain stood frozen, eyes wide in disbelief. "Impossible... this is the thickest gate in the world! It’s supposed to be indestructible! It can withstand anything!"
And yet, through the remains of that legendary gate, four people calmly walked into the capital like it was just another day.
At the front strode Gildarts, cracking his knuckles with a casual air. Rhodes walked just behind him, gripping the Fairy Tail banner with pride. Mira and Erza flanked them, their magical pressure radiating like a storm.
Once inside, Rhodes planted the base of the flag into the stone, anchoring it deep into the street. His voice rang out loud and clear, reaching every ear nearby:
"Fairy Tail, recognized as the number one guild in the Kingdom of Fiore, having been attacked without cause by Edolas, now officially declares war on King Faust and the royal forces of this land!"
His eyes swept across the guards, civilians, and hidden onlookers.
"This war will not end until Edolas surrenders. All those who raise weapons, military or civilian, shall be treated as enemies of Fairy Tail. Our target is the palace. If you stand in our way..."
Rhode’s fingers tightened around the pole as he raised the banner high.
"...then be ready to face the consequences."
