Chapter 1041: Armies Face To Face
Pov Julius (Black Emperor):
This whole situation is going worse than I imagined, because of the War against the Church of Light, old wounds that were slowly being only in the history books are coming back.
Reports of discrimination against Humans are rising every day, with rumors of the great battle leaking from army troops to the citizens of the Black Empire, information about our allies not sending reinforcements to what could be the worst battle has been spread to all, and like any rumor, every day the truth is distorted more and more, moving away from the truth, there are even stories that our allies joined with the Church of Light to attack us.
"Sir, if I may." (Mayara)
"Come in, how are the troops?" (I)
"They're doing well, but the weather is worse than you thought." (Mayara)
"Was it the rumors?" (I)
"For some maybe yes, but most of them know better than to believe rumours." (Mayara)
"What is causing the growing hatred of the troops seems to be the War itself, at this point everyone already knows someone who died in the previous battles and there are many among them who saw Humans killing their comrades, even if it was a war, for them... " (Mayara)
"I know, this is what I feared..." (I)
Hatred and bloodlust are feelings that are difficult for Demons to resist, all this negative feeling can boost our troops during tomorrow's battle, but it will come with a price sooner or later.
"Lord, is it really that bad?" (Mayara)
"You're still young, Mayara." (I)
"You are under 50 and have lived your entire life in what may be the most peaceful period in our Empire." (I)
"We are Demons, it's our instinct to give ourselves over to our emotions and desires, but it's our pride to know where to direct it to be able to stand on our feet with our pride." (I)
"But the problem is that hatred doesn't have many places where it can be useful, what will happen when the war happens? Will the Demons forget their hatred for Humans?" (I)
"Even worse, with the large numbers of our army this hatred will accumulate in one place full of mana due to the number of people together in the same place." (I)
"That hatred and Mana during battle, where there are sure to be spells and abilities flying from every corner, all that hatred and mana will turn into miasma." (I)
The worst possible outcome would be for this miasma to come together to form a Cursed Dungeon, this would result in a Monster Wave that could destroy any organization and military strategy we make.
"In the past they were successful, but today everyone can see the lies that the light hides!" (I)
"Look behind me, the city you are seeing is not what we are defending here today!" (I)
"Look at the approaching enemy, it is not his death we seek today!" (I)
"Now look at yourselves, the reason we fight today is so that those who come after us don't have to fight just because they are Demons!!" (I)
"Today we fight for the pride that keeps us standing, for those who fell before getting here and for those who are yet to be born!!!" (I)
"So fight by my side, fight without taking a step back, and show that our pride will not be shaken even in death!!!!" (I)
"FOR OUR PRIDE!!!"
"FOR THE BLACK EMPIRE!!!"
"FOR OUR PRIDE!!!"
"FOR THE BLACK EMPIRE!!!"
"FOR OUR PRIDE!!!"
"FOR THE BLACK EMPIRE!!!"
"FOR OUR PRIDE!!!"
"FOR THE BLACK EMPIRE!!!"
I can't say how much of that hatred I was able to suppress or redirect towards the Church of Light and not the Human Race.
"(Now we'll see what their next move will be.)" (I)
In a few tens of minutes the Army of Light was facing my army, their murderous intent apparent even from a distance, now that they were close I could see to my satisfaction that we are on the same level.
Everyone gets into a fighting stance on both sides as the killing intent of the two sides collide I pull my sword out to get it in hand but before I start I look to the spot where I felt the collision of power the day before.
"(Today let's put an end to all this...)" (I)
