"My lord wait I can't keep up at this speed!" Rizer complained
"Just keep flying we have to reach the capital!" Huntross replied
"My lord this is too much!" Rizer complained
"I don't care!" Huntross snapped

"Deploy defensive barriers!!" Azimuth ordered as a group soldiers rushed forward casting large barrier shields to block incoming cannon fire
"Incoming!" The spotter called before a barrage of explosives collided with the shields detonating on impact
"Barriers holding minor damage sustained!" The soldiers reported
"Continue to advance!" Rias called "Luna, Caren take the two you brought with you along with a group of soldiers and attempt to clear a way for the main force to advance until then we'll hold the line here!" Rias ordered
"Right!" Luna replied
"As you command!" Caren replied
"Catherine, Galen you're with us let's go!" Luna said
"You five with me!" Caren said pointing to a group of soldiers
"Incoming second wave!" The spotter called before once more cannon fire rained down on the barrier shields
"Quickly before they launch another attack let's move!" Luna said as the group rushed off
At this point in time Rias and what was left of hell's forces were attempting a frontal attack using the main road so she could move so many troops quickly but to no one's surprise the half-bloods began setting up barricades with artillery cannons which has brought hell's forces to a crawl
"Alright cannon two is down how about three and four!" Luna asked removing her sword form the large and now deformed cannon
"Just finished cannon four!" Caren replied
"Galen should have the last one down shortly" Catherine said
"Kinda odd how there was so little defense here, I mean the only people here were the cannon crews and a few soldiers nothing of any weight" Luna said
"Yeah the barricades before now had much tighter defenses" Caren added
"Maybe they got word we were coming a retreated?" Catherine said
"If that were the case why would the ones who were here stay" Caren replied
"Fair point" Catherine said
"Something's not..." Boom!! "right" Luna said the three slowly turn to look in the direction of the explosion
"Oh yeah come and get it!" Galen yelled as he smashed and destroyed the cannon and its crew his dragon emperor equip
"He's really going at it huh" Luna said
"Yup" Caren replied
"Yeah he doesn't get to do this very often" Catherine said
"What's that armor?" Caren asked
"That's his Dragon Emperor's Scale-mail, it's one of his many abilities" Catherine explained
"Dragon Emperor?" Caren asked looking to Luna for an explanation (because she's has Dragon blood)
"Basically it's a sacred treasure that was passed down through the Dovas family up until they died out" Luna explained
"Oh" Caren replied
"Yeah he bought it from some old dude in a pawnshop and when he put it on it was bonded to him so only he can use it until his eventual death" Catherine added
