“SOLDIERS!! PREPARE FOR BATTLE!!” The Galhala King’s loud voice resonated throughout the whole east walls.

“Shoot!!” (Claria)

Following Claria’s command, the archers shoot the arrows towards the demons, the magicians shoot their spells, and the other guards shoot the ballista and catapults installed on the castle’s walls.

Rain of arrows, spells, and boulders hits the demons, reducing their number. The Galhala King present only to observe directly the attack from the demons with his own eyes since they are attacking his royal capital directly, he wanted to see how the demons attacked and to see how his daughter lead his warriors.

As the one holding the supreme command, Claria gave out accurate instructions to the soldiers, and the soldiers followed her words obediently. Druid Oz could feel a great trust the soldiers have towards Claria.

As a punishment from the heavens, the demons keep on getting bombarded with arrows, explosive spells, and boulders by the soldiers. After the third volley shot by the soldiers, the demons had lost for about 10,000 in their ranks, leaving 60,000 demons left.

The demons attacking them are demonized magical beasts and several genuine demons that seem to come from the demon realm. Since there are no demonized owlfolk joining their ranks, so all of them are attacked from the ground.

Until now, the demons would only attack the outer cities of the kingdoms with at most 4,000 demons. So as Druid Oz saw the 80,000 demons advancing towards the capital city, he became even sure than before.

(They’ve finally raised the flag of wars upon us…) (Druid Oz)

“Warriors! Launch attack!!!” Claria’s command resounded through the whole east walls.

*Whoosh!*

10,000 royal Galhala warriors clad in royal golden armor flew high to the sky, and in a split second, they make a long curve and dashed towards the demons advancing towards the walls from the skies.

This is one of the reasons why the strength of the Owlfolks is fearsome. Not only their overall strength that is already high enough, but all of them are also aerial soldiers that could freely fly to the sky and attack from above.

Without being able to resist, another 10,000 demons got swiped by the strike of the 10,000 Galhala warriors. And when the Galhala warriors flew again above, the soldiers at the walls started to bombard the demons with arrows, explosive spells, and boulders again, leaving the demons no chance to even get near the walls of the kingdom.

(So they rally between melee attacks and ranged attacks, huh… It’s indeed a strategy very suitable for the Owlfolk kingdom to use…) (Druid Oz)

Because of the overwhelming strength of the Galhala soldiers, the demons got left with only 10,000 demons in less than 30 minutes. But without minding their number, they continue to advance towards the walls as if they’re having a suicide.

“Warriors! Halt!” (Claria)

Following Claria’s command, the 10,000 Galhala soldiers flew back and wair for the next command.

“Looks like I brought too many soldiers with me indeed…” said the Galhala king with a satisfied smile.

As the army of demons continues to approach the walls, the commander of the demonic army finally entered their view. It’s a 3-meters demon with blazing fire enveloping it. Judging from the look in its eyes, Druid Oz believed that the demon’s intelligence is as low as the other demons under him.

“Fire!” (Claria)

Another volley of arrows, spells, and boulders reduced the number of demons even more. But as if it didn’t have any fear, the demon’s commander continues to approach the walls with its army that had reduced to a mere 3,000 in number without showing any sign of fear.

“Fire!” (Claria)

This time, the volley of arrows, spells, and boulders finally killed all of the demons. But all of the arrows, spells, and boulders threw towards the demon commander got easily blocked by its wall of flames.

“100 men! Advance!” (Claria)

Following Claria’s command, 100 Galhala warriors flew to the sky and dashed towards the demon commander. Looking at the sight, the soldiers thought that the time for their victory cry finally appeared, but.

*Whoosh!!!*

A flame of walls even more powerful than before appeared, sending the Galhala warriors flew in all directions.

At that time, Druid Oz finally realized.

The demon commander isn’t advancing towards the capital without fear as if it’s going to suicide.

But it seems that the order it received is indeed a suicide mission.

The demon commander gathers the walls of flame and absorbs the flames to its body. And just like a walking lantern, the demon commander’s body shined.

“Stop,” said Druid Oz as he stopped Claria that about to take on the demon commander.

*Tap!*

With a small tap of his staff towards the ground, vines appeared from the ground below the demons and strangled all of its limbs.

Knowing that it had become impossible for itself to approach the capital even further, just like a bomb that about to explode, the demon’s body shone even more. The soldier strangely looks at the demons, but the Galhala King and Claria finally realized what the demon commander is about to do.

“Take cover!!” (Claria)

“Get down!!” (The Galhala King)

“Now!” (Druid Oz)

Following Druid Oz’s words, four frost lions suddenly appeared from the ground, surrounding the demon commander. And before the demon commander could explode itself, Druid Oz’s frost lions froze the demon commander and its surroundings, preventing the demon commander from gathering more heat and exploding.

“Good job, guys,” Druid Oz praise the frost lions. And as if they heard Druid Oz’s praise, the four of them rub themselves with each other as if saying a good job to each other.

“A-As expected of Ren’s familiars, they’re so strong indeed…” said Claria.

Druid Oz’s familiars are high-ranked magic beasts, the highest of them are at the [Duke] rank, and it seems that because of the battle with the demons, it won’t be long before one of Druid Oz’s familiars breakthrough the [King] rank.

Just like Druid Oz’s other familiars, the frost lions are one of the strongest magic beasts in the magical forest of Everdeen. Not to mention their physical strength, their ability to cast high-leveled ice spells are even more terrifying. And to add the fact that they travel in groups made the frost lions even deadlier. Druid Oz thought that it’s lucky that the original Oz didn’t meet any frost lion or other high-leveled magic beasts when he first arrived at this world.

“We won!” One of the soldiers breaks the silence with its victory cry.

Following the soldier the other Galhala soldiers roared and cried, celebrating their outstanding victory.

The walls are unscathed, there are no casualties, only the 100 Galhala warriors that got sent flying by the demon commander got injured by its flame, but none are dead. It’s nothing less than a great victory.

“Thank you, Ren. Without you, we wouldn’t know the demons are advancing here. Once again, you saved the kingdom again,” Thanked the Galhala King as he pats Druid Oz’s back.

“It’s my honor to be able to help, your majesty,” Druid Oz humbly replied.

“HAHAHAHA!! You should just call me father already, Ren!! Soldiers!! Let’s celebrate the victory!!” said the Galhala King cheerfully.

“””YES!!!””” Replied the soldiers with full of vigor.

One by one, the soldiers approached Druid Oz and express their gratitude towards him, saying that there will be lots of their comrades will die if he didn’t notify the kingdom about the approaching army of demons.

“Aren’t you a popular one?” Teased Claria as she suddenly appeared behind Druid Oz.

“Not like I wanted to be one, though,” Replied Druid Oz weakly.

Looking at Druid Oz’s weary state because of the soldiers, Claria couldn’t help but chuckle.

“They’re just expressing their gratitude to you, isn’t it fine? Come on, let’s go home,” said Claria as she pulled Druid Oz’s hand.

Druid Oz and Claria left the east walls to the soldiers stationed there to clean up and went to Druid Oz’s house.

“*Phew!* Looks like today went well,” said Druid Oz as he let out a sigh of relief.

“Yeah… How is it? Does the strength of this kingdom’s warriors impressed you?” Asked Claria. As a general of the kingdom, her warriors are her pride, and she’s eager to hear Druid Oz’s praise of them.

“Indeed… Their physical strength is high enough and added with their ability to fly faster and more agile than even other magic beasts made them even stronger that it felt unfair,” (Druid Oz)

“Fufufu! Of course! But not all kingdom’s warriors are strong as them, okay? They are that strong because my father and I trained them painstakingly!” said Claria proudly.

“By the way Claria,” (Druid Oz)

“Hm? What is it?” Asked Claria.

“Why are you here. Isn’t it’s time for you to go back to the royal castle?” Asked Druid Oz as he saw that the sky and long dark outside.

“Eh? Ah! My mother instructed me to stay here starting today. Since there are lots of rooms here too, and it will be easier for you to notify me if there is another demonic army advancing towards the kingdom she said,” (Claria)

“H-HUH!?” (Druid Oz)
