Chapter 437 - Proven Worthy.

As the King along with the Goblin Demon Leader were discussing what happened and when it happened, yet another Guard burst through the Dining Room Door and alarmed. "Sire, Demons! Over 200!"

Hearing, understanding and fed for battle. Kutuk grabbed his bag of gold, piled up at exactly 500 Coins now. Throwing the bag over his shoulder, he ran across the table knocking a couple of goblets over and reached the Door.

Looking at the two men behind him who have been left in shock, he forced an encouragement. "It's time for battle! Come!"

Spending a handful of seconds trying to comprehend what just happened, Eric and the King dashed after Kutuk following him out of the Castle.

Running across the Throne Room, not quite the time to fly off to battle yet since they are inside the two men were gifted with a moment to think.

Looking at the Goblin Demon far outrunning the King and Eric with his little Goblin feet, all Eric could think of. "Why do these Goblin Demons have pink skin?"

It's the most bizarre color he saw on a living creature although Kutuk and the rest of his kind's skin have a dark shade of pink. This colour makes them seem less intimidating but Kutuk is proving in some ways that he is a force to be reckoned with

...

Finally making it to battle, they've managed to figure out that the Demons are attacking from the left side. We can use the gate as a point of orientation to figure out which the left side is or we can specify that they are coming from the Forest instead of the Sea which is near the right side of the Kingdom.

The Demons have not yet reached this beautiful Domain, thankfully the Fire Controllers can deal some to half a damage to the whole group of enemies approaching.

They see Mogranius up in the air, enslaving one handful of Demons after the other with his Fire blessed by the Source. Although short tailed, his Fireballs are stretching 6 foot in width!

You would think an Ignite at such a case would be sparing with Stamina to contribute more in battle! But when you consider that there are around 200 Demons, it is the wisest solution to blast more and slice the battle's arms and legs before it advances where Civilisation stands.

King Michael didn't waste a break of a second to join this battle, fear nonexistent but concern to keep his own Guards safe growing like a fertilised plant.

Fire stretching 4 feet wide echoed beneath his feet, raging across the sky as he tried to reach the Demons as soon as possible to end them there. He can't afford for more of his Guards to die.

Flying fast and barely able to see, he did notice something he had doubts about. The Goblin Demons tightening their weaponry and running in battle with a l.u.s.t for blood!

There are few who would face against Clawed Demons, you would expect less from a demonic branch of Goblins whose individuals are 4 foot tall each.

700 Goblin Demons, all willing to aid in battle although the exchange for gold has been made transparent earlier. They are doing it for gold, but their battle morale says otherwise.

As the two large forces met, King Michael could see a wall of blood separating the Clawed Demons from the Goblin Demons!

Eric has been following the King as they soared across the sky, and now they both have managed to finally reach the battle field. Active 200 meters away from the Kingdom.

Unleashing a few Fireballs as they made their way to the Ground, with a plan to attack the Demons from behind in order to tame the masses.

Trying not to burn any of the Goblin Demons 30-50 meters on the other side facing this battle head on. King Michael shouted to Eric, "Short tailed Fireballs!"

They wasted no second. Fire broke from their palm, granted illumination around their hand just for a moment and 5 foot wide Fireballs battled the wind before they've encrusted these Clawed Demons with much deserved Semi-holy Fire!

Eric could hear Demons howling from the other side, screams of pain aren't easy to tell apart from screams of craze but the Goblin Demons managed to make the two sounds differ. As if the young Electus doesn't have enough nightmares!

"Come here blow horn!" A lady Goblin Demon went into an attempt to lure a Clawed Demon to attack.

As the Clawed Demon ran away from its large group, charging against the small 3.10 foot lady Demon and engaged to a high jump... The Clawed one felt a large pain in its throat, painting a 4 foot line of blood across the stomped on snow.

So small, yet so dangerous. She tightened her hand around the Battle Axe's handle, found satisfaction from the blood on her steel and shoulders and finally charged against a Demon who has leaped from the group and failed to pay attention towards all directions.

Mogranius flew across the sky, gazed upon the Kingdom's one and a half Platoon of Humans running towards battle and isolating the Demons from the left side.

With the Goblin Demons isolating the front and the right side, compressing the Demons in such tremendous blood puking way. King Michael and Eric were already shooting from behind so in one way this means that the Demons are being attacked by all four sides although this wasn't planned.

Five sides actually! We did mention that Mogranius is taking enemies victim from above.

A 4.2 foot tall Goblin Demon swung his Battle Axe to the right and saw Demonic claws crack along with one of its horns. Such damage would require tremendous force! Worthy! The Goblin Demons are proving theirselves worthy!

As Eric surrendered his attention to the largest group of Demon howling and burning on his left side, he did not notice that a couple of Demons have slipped from the Slaughter and are coming his way.

GIIIIAAAAAA!

One of these foul Clawed Demons shouted, piercing ears with its foul sound and now being just 6 feet away from Eric while the other Demon is behind the first, only 9 feet away!

Out of a Sudden, taking half of a second to their advantage. Two Goblin Demons leaped with their right foot forward and Jaw kicked the two Clawed Demons who would have ripped Eric in more pieces than Ladia can heal.

Their one handed battle axes held so tight that it's wooden handles are close to cracking, the Goblin Demons jumped a foot high almost at the same time and ripped through the Clawed Demons. Cutting their heads off, sacrificing the sharpness of their Weapons as bone was worked on.

Swing after swing, Fireball after Fireball and slash after slash. The unified Armies massacred their way through this crazed threat.

An awkward situation arose at the end as they raised Weapons against one another. They did not expect for this battle to be this short, especially the Guards. So when the last few Demons were put down for good, the two different origins met with each other and took a second to realize that they technically aren't enemies.

King Michael shouted the Celebration and broke the silence at the same time as he shouted. "We won!"

Thunderous shouts of Glory and joy thundered across the fields a split second after, getting louder by each shout.

The Goblin Demons making the most noise while the Platoon and a half of Humans trying to shout louder than them 7 Platoons!

It is obvious who the odds favour at such a call for Glory.

...

Finding King Michael in the midst of the celebration, catching up with him late although Leader Kutuk did not fail to contribute in this battle. The two Leaders made their way back to the Castle together.

The Goblin Demons proved their selves extra ordinary in battle, so the King does not want to miss this opportunity. He wants to form some sort of an Alliance with this Demonic branch in exchange for their services.

Making it into the throne room, but sitting around a table on the right side of the room and cutting the Royalty crap to not make Kutuk feel as less. King Michael first complimented. "Your Army was amazing! We lost 60 men in a battle a bit bigger than this one!"

Although he knows that the Goblin Demon Army is amazing, Tutuk wanted to put pressure in some other facts that led to success. "They just knew what to do. These Clawed Demons are apprentice practices in our Realm."

Battle-wise, it is certain that these Goblin Demons are ahead with their work although just carrying rusty Iron Battle Axes.

To win him over, King Michael decided to become truthful about the economic standards of this Era before he learns it from anyone else and costs Havoc with his Army. "I haven't been the fairest with you. 400 Gold Coins is no pay befitting the services you bring on the table. You deserve more."

Catching the King at a loss for words, Kutuk Re Qutuk directly answered. "I know! Salaries at the ill.u.s.tratian motherland start at 800 Gold Coins."

Confused, not knowing what to think first. King Michael could only ask. "Then why did you ask for 30 Gold Coins a week in exchange for peace if you know that you can demand thousands."

Hearing sentences that the King might never hear anywhere else, ever! Kutuk explained in detail. "Because you didn't attack us even though I threatened to attack your Kingdom. You welcomed me in the Castle and fed my men and women for free! You showed us... what you people call Humanity while everyone else we ran across for the past 260 years have called us Ugly and Demonic."

A tear almost dropping from his eye, King Michael began to be eaten by guilt but Kutuk lifted the mood when he added. "Plus we don't need much gold, we just need it to look nice and shiny. We can get food, wood, clothes and Iron ourselves therefore Gold only needs to look pretty for us."

Grateful that he met this man, King Michael decided to make an offer that is much befitting to these wonderful beings but first started it off with a Compliment. "You truly are Peaceful Demons."

And since Kutuk mentioned something about a reward from their Lords earlier, he decided to use a similar route. "I'm willing to pay you 5,000 Gold Coins if your Soldiers can teach my men those battle tactics that work well against the Clawed Demons. Apart from that Gold, I can bestow above your Army 10 Hectares of Land be it on land or in the Forest. I don't know if you understand how Hectares work though... but my point is I need you and your Army close by."
