The World Serpent

Chapter 120 - 120-The Northern Army

In the Western Outskirts of the City Bez Erk, An Army stood. It was an Army sent by one of the Northern Nations of the Continent Debilis. The Army consisted of 10,000 men. With 1,000 of them under cavalry. The Northern Army got sent to investigate the City of Bez Erk as information told them about its destruction. A Monster attacked the City, which caused most of it to be ablaze. Of course, they didn't believe it at first, but as they saw the City in front of them burning into damnation. They had no choice but to accept it and stood from afar while watching the City. 

"General, is what I see in front of me; Real?" A Soldier questioned while gazing upon the Blazing City. The Northern Army General calmly sat on his horseback as he stared at the City of Bez Erk. He sighed after a while of gazing and answered. "It's real... The Sin City of Bez Erk has fallen." 

"But how is it possible? Not even the Supreme Nations would attack the Sin City." The Soldier couldn't believe what was happening in front of them. The Sin City of Bez Erk has been something like a damn for the Northern Nations. A Rivalry between two factions though it simply ended with skirmishes and war. 

The Soldiers within the Northern Army also couldn't believe what they were seeing. After all, the famous Sin City was where all the Powerful Criminals stood. It was where the Criminal Empires gathered. The Organized Crimes would fall into chaos after the destruction of Bez Erk. 

"Don't forget that the City of Bez Erk wasn't fighting an Army. It was fighting an Entity." The Northern Army General spoke with a stern voice as he turned his gaze towards the Information Officer who stood right beside him. The Information Officer nodded and prepared himself. He then took out the papers and started explaining the whole situation. 

"At the Night, The Northern Outpost near the City of Bez Erk turned their alarms. They sent information about the City, and it concluded like this." 

"Nighttime, the City of Bez Erk, Attack by an Entity from unknown Origins. A Serpentine Monster with a Gargantuan Size. Silver White Scales, Golden Amber Eyes, Bat-like Wings, and a Dark Horn. The Serpentine Monster could make objects float to the heavens and make them fall back to the Earth. Dangerous Monster and its reasons or motives of attacking are unknown." 

After hearing the explanation of the Information Officer, The Soldiers nodded in understanding as they found themselves in silence. They couldn't release a single word as they were thinking of the Serpentine Monster. Their imaginations ran off as they started creating images of the Serpentine Monster, which shook their body. 

"No need to let your mind instigate fear. Aren't you, my Soldiers?" The General spoke with a calm voice that echoed within the Vast Field of the Outskirts. The Soldiers nodded as they slapped themselves to relieve their bodies from shaking. They never thought they would fall into fear, but it was Normal for them as they were thinking of a Monster that never existed within the Continent of Debilis. 

"URAHH!!!" The Soldiers shouted their warcry, which echoed within the vast field. The silence that enveloped the night got broken by the Northern Army's War Cries. Though, their shouts didn't last long as they could see Four Figures within the distance. The General squinted his eyes as he was curious why Four Figures appeared in front of him.

"Are they survivors of the City?" A Soldier questioned while staring towards the Four Figures. They didn't seem to be under any injuries, and they looked like they came from a Noble Mansion before meeting the Northern Army. The Northern Army General looked upon the Four Figures and shook his head in disagreement. 

"They aren't survivors. They are far from being one." The Northern Army General spoke with a calm voice as the Soldiers turned their gaze towards him. If the Four Figures in front of them weren't survivors, Then what were they? The Soldiers found themselves in confusion as the General continued his words.

"It seems that the ones who brought the Serpentine Monster onto the City of Bez Erk are in front of us." The Northern Army General's words made the Soldiers find themselves in disbelief. The one that instigated the destruction of the City of Bez Erk was in front of them. There is a possibility that they would be the next ones in the meat grinder. 

Of course, most of them wouldn't want to be in the meat grinder, but what could they do other than wait for the General's orders? The Information Officer turned his gaze towards the Northern Army General and questioned. "Are you sure about that, General?" After all, it was hard to believe. The Information Officer wanted the General to be sure. 

"I'm quite sure about it. I doubt that there are any survivors within the City of Bez Erk." The General nodded as he was sure about his decision and words. The Information Officer sighed and looked upon the Four Figures. "What do you think, should we do?" He asked as the General started thinking about his plans. 

It took a while, but the General answered with a calm voice. "Fighting against them would be foolish. The only thing we could think of is hope that they aren't crazy for blood." The words of the General echoed as the Soldiers and Officer sighed in relief. They turned their heads towards the Four Figures and waited for them to try to communicate. 

One of the Figures disappeared and appeared right beside the Northern Army General. The Soldiers quickly prepared everything as they pointed their weapons towards the Figure. Though, one hand of the General was enough for the Soldiers to not attack the Figure. "Don't attack if you don't want to die."

The Soldiers heard the General's words and started thinking for themselves. Most of them sighed and stood down from pointing their weapons towards the Figure. The General then turned his head towards the Figure and spoke with a calm voice. "Are you here with hostility?" It was a simple question.

The Figure slightly chuckled after hearing the General's words. The Actions of the Northern Army were under the guess of the Figure. It seemed that the information about Persia has started to spread within the Northern Region of the Continent Debilis. The Figure stopped chuckling and spoke with a seductive voice. "I'm not here with hostile intentions, General. If I am here with hostile intentions, Your Army would have disappeared before I stand in front of you." 

"I see. I understand your reasoning." The General sighed as the Figure finally revealed her complete appearance. The Soldiers, Officer, and the General could see a Beauty beyond one's imagination. A Beautiful Lady that could topple nations. It was the only description they had about her. 

"Anyway, are there any reasons why you are here, General? Are you trying to help the City?" Statera questioned with her seductive voice, which echoed within the vast field. The General gulped and answered with a calm voice. "We aren't here as reinforcements. We heard of a monster attacking the City. We wondered if this Serpentine Monster would start attacking the Northern Nations." 

"Hmm... That's a good reason, so I won't try digging further." Statera nodded in understanding as she would have done the same if something was causing trouble near her territory or borders. Statera then continued with her seductive voice. "The Serpentine Monster you are talking about wouldn't try attacking the Northern Nations. After all, it has more problems to deal with." 

Statera then turned her head towards the Blazing Cty of Bez Erk and once again continued. "It would be impossible to salvage anything from the City." The General raised an eyebrow as he was curious about what Statera was trying to say. But then, The Northern Army saw something unimaginable.

A Giant Rock fell from the Heavens as it hit the Earth. A Bright Light illuminated the Continent. A Shockwave formed, which passed through the Heavens and Earth. It created a Thunderous sound that kept ringing within the Northern Army's ears. *BOOM!!!" An Explosion echoed as a Mushroom cloud revealed itself within the City. 

"What the-" The power brought upon the Explosions was something unimaginable for the Northern Army. 

Statera and the Three Figures furrowed their eyebrows as they turned their gaze towards the Heavens. They could see a White Nebulae illuminating within the Night Sky. Its bright light shone over the Continent of Debilis but despite its beauty. Statera wasn't happy. It was a concentrated Energy of Mass Destruction. 

A Shooting Star fell from the Heavens as it landed right beside the Northern Army and the Group. Despite being a Gigantic Shooting Star, It didn't cause that much destruction, which was strange. The Dust covered everything, though it started to fade. Time passed by, the Shooting Star finally revealed itself. 

It was the Demon Serpent who was seemingly injured.. The Group disappeared from the spot and reappeared right beside the Demon Serpent with worried expressions.
