Chapter 78: "For Queen Seraphine!"
The large room where the speeches happened was packed again. Everyone knew what was about to be announced. The war will come to an end today one way or another.
Bea walked at the head of the leadership to the podium. Her hair was braided tightly so it wouldn't move during the fighting. She wore and armor Item, that one of the monsters dropped. It didn't do much just increased her physical protection.
It also gave her an air of authority she never before possessed. The armor was brown with black lines decorating it. It went with her hair. She also summoned her sword giving her even more dignity.
She arrived on the podium. Behind her stood Lucy and Faith, Bea initially wanted Hellfire, but his height would undermine her aura. Which meant her speech wouldn't have as good of an effect.
And that was the reason for speeches, to give the soldiers morale before they march to their death.
Bea took a deep breath and all the sound stopped within the room. It was like nature itself was listening to her. At that moment she felt it. Bea nearly understood something about herself, but it was just out of her reach.
'I'm close to furthering my Heratige, but there is something missing still.'
Dismissing these thoughts she turned to the crowd and smiled. This is what they worked towards for months and it's about to become reality.
"We have been stuck in Havel for months, because evil kept us in his clutches! Today we will destroy that evil! NIGHTMARE WILL DIE!"
"HE WILL DIE!"
"But we won't going to stop only him, NO! All of them, people who hurt us, killed our friends, tortured our family! THEY ALL WILL DIE!"
"THEY WILL DIE!"
"And most of all, the main purpose of this mission is to FREE OUR QUEEN! Who sacrificed herself so we could fight another day! FOR QUEEN SERAPHINE!"
"FOR QUEEN SERAPHINE
FOR..."
The crowd didn't stop the last chant until they began the march outside. They only stopped then, because it would have been dangerous to keep shouting on the streets.
Together they marched, there were a lot of people flying in the sky. All of them with some kind of transformation. Bea felt weird about it.
'Leading this many people, and most of them will probably die. But it's not like we hid this fact from them. We even asked them multiple times, that if they are uncertain in the success of the mission, they should leave.'
Bea lead the army, next to her walked Hellfire, Faith, Lucy, Will and Clockwork. Killshot and Witchdoctor were at different parts leading their respective units.
Their plan was quite simple, break the enemy's defensive line before they can reinforce it. There's going to be a rush to the walls, after that there will be chaos.
Initially they wanted to send a small team into their headquarters, but most of their army is stationed near there. It would be a death trap, especially with Nightmare inside.
'That insane fuck, wouldn't leave Sera. He schemed for too long to just leave her unattended... Hold on Sera, we are going to save you!'
The night was weirdly calm, but also the sky was cloudy. There was no star visible.
They approached the outskirts again, they will start the attack from the north and work their way down southward. Bea stopped just outside the killing field, behind her the army stopped as well.
The guards haven't noticed them yet, but in a minute or two they will be spotted.
Bea held up her sword and a green aura began glowing on her blade. With that done she turned around and said to the deathly silent army.
"For Queen Seraphine."
Then she began sprinting to the wall, behind her the army echoed the war cry, only they were a bit louder.
"FOR QUEEN SERAPHINE!"
The enemy didn't even have to turn on the alarm, the shouts were more than loud enough to signal their attack.
In a second railgunfire began to rain on the enemy, Killshot was doing his job yet again. The enemy was surprised, but soon their own shots came back as an answer.
Sadly for them the flying Evolved were already too close and they decimated the guards on the wall.
Bea was still a bit far away from the wall. The whole thing was at least 20 meters in height, but she didn't care. With one move and using a large portion of her Essence, she summoned vines and broke the wall.
Both armies were stunned by this display, but in truth it wasn't really impressive.
'The wall wasn't the best quaility, a strong wind could knock it down.'
But it didn't matter, the attack was a clear display of power. It increased her armies morale, while decreased the enemies.
With nothing to block their approach Bea and her army entered The Hold and came down on the fledgling enemy army, like a warhammer, breaking their lines even further.
Leading the charge Bea didn't stop, only killed. She knew what streets to take for the fastest route to the headquarters and in about 10 minutes of constant fighting she reached it.
Sadly her momentum was stopped by the enemy army. There was at least three times as many enemies in front of her, but she didn't care, her blood was boiling and with a war cry she charged the enemy line.
Behind her army followed and attacked the enemy. But before they hit their stable defensive line, vines grew from the ground displacing and even killing most of the enemy vanguard. Bea was using a lot of Essence, but she didn't care.
'I will kill all of them!'
In the next second she hit the broken enemy line and the massacre started.
With a swing she decapitated an enemy, then cut the throat of an other, then stabbed another. She moved trough them as a whirlwind, making perfect cuts and stabs. Every blow was deadly, she cut through the enemy line in a minute, but what came next took away from her war spirit.
In front of her was a well managed enemy line, with shield in the front and ranged in the back.
'This just got a lot harder!'
But before either party could make a move, something very weird happened. The ground rumbled, some of the people even fell over. Then there was a loud explosive sound and the night sky turned bright. It was like the Sun came up.
In a couple of seconds Bea's eyes finally gotten used to the brightness change.
'What... what is that?'
In the previously empty sky, a new star was shining bright.
