Supreme God Of Yggdrasil

Chapter 27

E-Rantel

Ramposa returned quickly to the fortress city with some nobles and the rest of the warriors of the Warrior Captain. The fast trip was not good for his heart but with those monsters behind them he did not care about his health.

The citizens were surprised looking at Ramposa returning so quickly from the battlefield without his guardian and the army in his back. It made them think that war was lost. Many families in E-Rantel felt sad about their relatives that did not return alive.

The King had lowered his head looking at the cup of water. His eyes were full of tears but he could not let them fall.

How did this happen?

That question was in his head all the time. It was supposed to be a small skirmish and returned home. But who had thought that this will turn into a nightmare? Who had thought that the Empire would bring the legions of hell and the devil himself on the battlefield. No, that can't be called a battlefield. It was a slaughterhouse. He had sent his soldiers(peasants) on the hands of the butchers.

He had just doomed his kingdom. That army might be marching to this city by now and he was standing here. What can he do? He is just a mere old man that can't even walk properly.

"Gazef…"

It was impossible for his loyal Warrior-Captain to survive in that hellscape. Even his son might be inside the stomach of the beast that captured him. That carnage was the beginning of the end for the Kingdom.

Suddenly inside the room came the Vice-Captain. He had been outside in the walls to observe if the enemy was advancing here.

"Your Majesty, we saw three armored dragons flying near the city. The enemy is marching here, we must leave E-Rantel."

The nobles that were silent all this time gasped in shock. The enemy had dragons their ranks. What can be worse than that? On the other hand, Raeven had changed the horse to go immediately to his wife and son.

"And when they reach the capital? Where to escape next?" asked the King with sadness.

The Vice-Captain lowered his head. He was the King, he is supposed to protect the citizens and not run away like a coward, but this time was different. The heroism will be crushed in front of that army.

"Your Majesty, we have made an oath. We will protect the ruler of this land no matter what danger lies in our way."

That loylty was wasted on him, but he had to listen to the man.

"Fine then. Let's go." said Ramposa while raising.

They went outside and took their horses to ride to Re Estize.

Ramposa felt wrong to leave the people of this city like this. They are as important as those of Re Estize, but this will be the first city to be invaded by the enemy. He hoped with all his heart for them to stay strong.

Rampos III disappeared from E-Rantel without notice, leaving the city at the mercy of fate.

The city guards upon the walls were looking at a massive army coming at the direction of E-Rantel. They were more than twenty thousand. The city guards thought they were lucky for not going to Katze Plains to fight the knights, but to think the war will come here was unbelievable. There were 260 soldiers in this city and they can not fight an army like this.

The only way for survival was to surrender without fighting, but the enemy had in their ranks undead, goblins, beastmen, elves and… humans. How can the humans work together with those creatures? It made no sense for the city guards. The citizens were alarmed from the bell of the tower and all went inside their homes.
