Chapter 263 10000 Ancient War
Armies were stationed. On the 4 Continents, tens of thousands of soldiers were distributed to kingdoms and small empires with low power levels.
Thanks to Selene, thousands of teleportation circles, especially teleportation scrolls, were distributed to authorised people. James wanted to win this war with as little help as possible, but he had divided hundreds of teleport scrolls between himself, Ariel and Chao to go everywhere incredibly fast.
Pixie Queen Sophia sat on James' shoulder, as usual, Ruby sat on the other shoulder, and Miracle followed James in human form.
James, Ariel and Chao were already on their way to where the most dirty mana and strange behaviour would be displayed. In short, if there was a real Fallen God at the head of the enemy, or rather, if the big 'bad' that was putting all these things into action was in these monsters, the main unit had to act.
In this case, the main unit consisted of James, Ariel, and Chao.
Selene had sworn to protect the palace of the Mountain Empire with her life or rather to protect the entire capital. This resulted in the admission to the capital of everyone in the empire who could fit in the underground shelters of the capital.
As usual, the priests and priestesses of the Church of the Night tried to detect 'evil' beings and people with 'unclean' mana and aura as they entered the capital, and they did not find anyone except for a few little devils who tried to enter from time to time.
Just in case, an ENORMOUS shield of runes was constructed around the capital and the capital was the safest place below the 75th floor.
The armies of Asgard were arrayed in the northern part of the empire, and the armies of Olympus were around the borders of the empire like a shield.
Because of the dangers within the empire, this was the place that James and the others had chosen to clear.
With each passing hour, a larger army was entering the 37th floor with the passageways, and the preparations for war were growing from one side and growing from the other. Even though they were still gathering under 6 armies, almost three million soldiers were scattered all over the four continents.
Hearing what James wanted to do, other guild owners and even the high climbers James wished to meet had come to the 37th floor at the risk of death.
Warriors of Zeus, Hades, Osiris, Freyr, Odin, Ninurta, Odin, Odin, Ninurta and many others had come to the 37th floor with their followers to support James.
Thereupon, Theseus, Perseus, Thasus and many more god-blooded heroes came to help James, and even people like Icarus, who had suffered many more evils and cruelties, came to join the war.
In short, many people who lived on the 75th floor and tried to become gods and goddesses, from James' enemies to his closest friends, came to this floor to help him and the future of the tower.
This was a war that would exist for a long, long time to come. It may have been MINIMUM in scale compared to the wars of old, but for the tower itself, which had been partially at peace for so long, it would be the biggest war in recent times.
One thing was known, however. This would be the most spectacular battle in history. A war where friends and foes would work together, where life and death would hold hands and all would share a common destiny.
A few million living beings would have to fight against thousands of Ancient Demons and perhaps Ancient Giants and other ancient monsters.
There was likely to be bloodshed, and the battle might even be lost, but at least everything would be done.
After almost a month, they came upon rainy weather. In the air cultivators were standing on their swords and following Chao with all honour, on the ground there were thousands of climbers following James with honour.
As the twin nobles returned to the city from which they had come, the sight of destruction was documented in everyone's minds. Everything was in a terrible state, they did not know where the twins' sister was, but everyone was sure that she was not dead.
Or rather, the twins had convinced everyone about this.
"Ariel," James said suddenly, and when he got the attention of the woman next to him, he added, "The ends of the city are sealed. I can feel the power of the seals from here, but I can't find any weakening spells or anything."
Ariel could understand what those words meant. What they would encounter in this city might not be an Ancient Demon or something of that nature.
After all, it was quite understandable how the Ancient Demon was brought to this floor, or rather, how it got here. The polluted mana released outside and the polluted aura kept inside had successively strengthened the demon itself and weakened those outside.
This suggested that the danger could be either on a higher level or on a lower level. After all, the fact that they now had this realisation told the entire army that they did not know the enemy they were facing.
"Master Umbra," came a voice suddenly from behind James.
James turned round to see Yorhun, the young Asgardian warrior he had met on the 25th floor. However, he noticed the concern on Yorhun's face.
"What is it, Yorhun?" James asked suddenly.
"Sir, we have received news from the north of the empire, Asgard has already started fighting, and the eastern continent has been at war for almost six hours. We have not suffered many casualties, but it is calculated that we have already destroyed six demon-beast units," replied Yorhun.
Hearing these words, James frowned and said with great sadness, "May the souls of the dead warriors rest in peace, I hope they win the biggest place in heaven." then, with the knowledge that the battle had begun, he gestured with his hand for everyone to move forward without fear.
With each step they took, the sense of danger in them was growing. With each step they took, they began to feel the presence of the thing or things following them one by one.
Each person who had this feeling suddenly began to hold their weapons tightly. From the weakest to the strongest, each of them focused their attention.
James squinted as he realised the danger was getting closer and closer.
"You all will be faster for three minutes, your speed stat will increase by 20 per cent, be ready and please be careful." James said suddenly and then, looking around carefully, he said "Heaven's Call".
This time he chose the lily flower and with it thousands of flowers with pink tips spread over a great distance.
However, the danger had reached its extreme. Everyone could see the monsters around, or rather, they seemed to be hiding and waiting for their new prey.
What they didn't know, however, was that this time the prey would not be humans or other members of their race, but themselves.
Heaven's Call was an aura-based ability, and it became much better with the addition of magic. James had used such an attack against the Ancient Giant.
Now, with this ability, he had covered the entire huge city with pink lily flowers. It was nothing more than an attack order given to over a thousand climbers and thousands of cultivators inside the city.
Exactly every single warrior had suddenly attacked.
There were thousands, maybe tens of thousands of demon beasts in front of them, but there was something these beasts did not realise.
The races on the friendly side had enormous power, they might have been dishonoured against such a large number of enemies, and they might have underestimated their strength and refused to fight, but not this time.
Because the demon monsters had bypassed the race that controlled and directed this entire army.
No one should underestimate the bottomless human heart itself, especially when that heart demands the direct destruction of enemies and marches forward as the king of an army of millions.
"ATTACK!!!"
With a single shout, hundreds of explosions, and dozens of blood-filled pieces of demon beasts began to fly in the air. It was a complete annihilation, a genocide, perhaps even a vengeful, madly burning piece of fire.
But no matter what, one thing was certain: Either this war would end in victory, or it would continue until every single friendly unit, every single friendly piece was dead.
It would be written in golden letters in the history books of the Tower's history, the name of every commander, the great General Ariel, and the king who led them would be written in golden letters in every book.
It would be a great, agonising and glorious event in the history of the Tower for generations to come. It would be the first time in the history of the Tower that not just a few heroes and races, but all heroes and races came together to fight.
No one would forget the 10000 Ancient War.
Not even the Creator himself would dare to make them forget.
