Heavenly Kingdom: The Kingdom among the clouds

Chapter 37: Absolute Defense II

[Northern Border of Celeste Kingdom]

On that very night of the same day, while the soldiers of the Amid Empire were changing their soldiers and personnel's for the night shift along the walls of the northern border of Celeste Kingdom, a sudden event was currently happening below the walls as numerous shadows could be felt bypassing the ground on the dead of the night

Coincidentally such shadows were the soldiers of the Celeste Kingdom who were seemingly sneaking their way up into the wall by the use of magic

In all thought the plan for such operation in the night was quite simple, simply some few experienced soldiers that has both speed and flexibility would try and infiltrate the wall through the dead of night and secretly take out the guards guarding the wall one by one

After doing that they would then proceed to open up any passage ways or gates that may lead into the other side of the border or the inner rooms of the wall to make the hidden army on the plains to enter the vicinity and finally take out the remaining force that are resting and unexpecting the arrival of the enemy

All in all such an operation would only be done by the men and people of the Celeste Kingdom, while the angels themselves would wait behind the coating of clouds in the sky and only help if problem arises in such an operation

Since the army if Celeste Kingdom couldn't compare to the army of the Amid Empire in comparison to their strength and defenses, they then have no choice but to use such an underhanded tactic to win agaisnt an overwhelming enemy

With such things laid out right infront of them, soldiers on a tight black outfit which fits the environment of the night then slowly ascended the walls step by step by solidifying the mana unto the sole of their feet and arrive at the wall itself

Upon arriving they would then hurriedly try to find any guard along the wall and sneakily execute them from behind

In that moment blood had then been shed in the dead of night as the soldiers of the Celeste Kingdom takes out the soldiers of the Amid Empire that are situated on the wall

Soon after for what seems like a few minutes or so, the soldiers of the Celeste Kingdom who had successfully sneaked in then finally got rid of the soldiers along the walls and silently split into groups to try and open every possible passage the army may enter to seige the wall

Of course this thorough action also took another few minutes of the soldiers time as one of them finally reach the wheels for the gates of the wall which keeps it closed, but before he could turn the wheels and open the gate itself, a spear then suddenly pierced him from behind as a voice suddenly sound out in the darkness around them

"Looks like some cockroaches got into the wall under my nose, I really am degrading in terms of sensing intruders"

While the other companions of the pierced soldier was surprised and shocked to see their comrade getting killed out of nowhere, some of them got out of their trance and shock much earlier as they tried to finish their job and open the gates, but of course the enemy in the darkness wouldn't just sit idly and let them accomplish anything

True to that Benkei then suddenly came out from the shadows as he swung down his spear towards the soldier that was reaching out to the wheel gate, but before his weapon could even reach the said soldier, some of the soldiers comrade then jumped into the trajectory of his spear and tried their best to defend against his strike with a parry

Unfortunately Benkei saw through that soldiers intent and swiftly redirected the angle of his spear and slashed through the soldier that was trying to parry his attack, but that didn't end there
