202 Chapter 202

The soldier’s mouths led wide open and their mind became blank witnessing the scene.

Their entire froze with fear witnessing the scene up ahead.

After the dome exploded, huge fumes of dark smoke rose high into the sky forming an obscure dark cloud covering the only rays of the moon which shook away the darkness of night.

The fire from the incident lit up the whole fortress destroying the whole place of impact.

BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!

As the mini explosions rang one after another, small shockwaves were created that forced the soldiers to step back followed by the scattering of things inside the storage.

Rain of pieces of scarps, metals and broken things started to fall from the sky.

Due to the explosion, many things inside the building were burnt and destroyed while many things detonated and blasted away from that place.

The soldiers with pale faces stared at the sky as a rain of metals fell hitting them.

Many even passed away after being hit by shockwaves carrying huge prices of debris swept along it.

The soldiers and guards near the place tried to put up the fire and minimize the destruction but everything was in pain.

The food stored there had been burned, and the weapons had been damaged, the war horses and beasts that were stored there along with men guarding the place seemed to be wiped away.

Not a single remaining of the people present in the building left as they were annihilated without leaving behind ashes.

Some even pissed and wet their pants due to fear and everyone stared at the Demon masked with a sorrowful tone while many tried to speak with a trembling voice.

They wondered whether this man was speaking the truth and he fed on their fear and despair to grow stronger.

So, in that case, wouldn’t he just leave after feeding on their fear?

“Why are you attacking us? What wrong did we commit?”

“Please spare us?”

“Please have mercy on us?”

“We are just innocent harmless citizens who are stationed as guards here.”

Painful shrieks emerged all over the place as they asked the same question and begged him to spare them.

Alex stared at the horror-stricken faces and spoke with a loud voice.

“Harmless, my ass!’Alex snorted inwardly.

When they passed through this place, there were roughly around 700 soldiers stationed there but currently, there were only about 300.

It shows just how much they wanted to intimate them and make them succumb to fear.

Trying to harm them as bandits was not enough for them so they tried to show their might to scare them by bringing a strong military force while Alex’s troops passed through here.

Some even questioned him whether he was a man or not.

‘I will show you how big of a man I am.’

“You haven’t committed any crime today but all the crimes you have committed till now have filled the pot of sin and your atrocities can’t be stuffed in the pot anymore.”

“So, now it’s time to pay back,” Alex spoke with a sneer

“Kill them and raid the place,” Alex ordered and waved his hand signalling that the short break time was over and slaughter time had begun again.

Alex forces who appeared swiftly also disappeared as swiftly as possible in the darkness of night and made a huge noise.

While most of the people slept in their cosy beds after going through all sorts of hardships and work of the day, the upper echelon of society was forced to wake up from their good night’s sleep.

Alex allowed some people to escape to spread his glorious acts otherwise everything would become in vain, isn’t it?

Terrible news struck most of the noble houses. Since most of the heads of the houses had gathered in Duke Walmart territory currently, the entire Bright was devoid of the top echelon who were responsible for making important decisions.

They escaped, beat the drums, let the cat out of the bush and informed every official they found.

Most of them were sceptical and wondered whether it was true or not.

Many thought of them as drunkards while many thought that they were sent by someone to spread the news. After all, how can a mighty stronghold be taken down so easily at dead night when many of them were present in the afternoon at the fortress?

Still, some decided to believe in them and started to spread the news which circulated like wildfire.

Since most of the heads of noble households were away it was too late to receive the news. Still, they acted as quickly as possible and sent their forces to help.

…

The bloody killing at night came and left fast.

In less than two hours, Bright soldiers who were stationed at the fortress were completely wiped out after their last scream resonated under the night sky.

The warriors of Leonhart after finishing their job and looting the place quickly disappeared into the darkness like ghosts in the night.

Except for the blood running on the ground and the bloody smell from the one-sided cruel slaughter that occurred at the place, there was no trace of the enemies who were rampaging out here and the place was completely shrouded in silence.

After more than an hour, finally, some other sounds made the place feel alive.

A small team of cavaliers in silver armour that were riding on dark armoured horses were rushing towards the fortress and they were followed by armoured infantry with torches in their hands.

The cavalries were rushing ahead with a tense expression and the atmosphere was quite solemn. They have already prepared themselves mentally for the danger that lies ahead.

Getting the news, they acted as quickly as possible trying to negate the damage.

Soon they got close to the battleground.

When they arrived at the foot of the hills, one of the cavaliers leading them frowned along with his guards who paced themselves.

He made a hand gesture to the cavaliers that were still charging after him at full speed, and the cavaliers behind immediately slowed.

They drew out their swords and held them tightly onto their shields as they all went on horses.

“What a thick, bloody and pungent smell?” One of them muttered as they felt a sense of eeriness permeating from the surroundings.

With a question on his mind, the leader strode forward slowly.

As he entered the pass, he saw the huge shadow cast on them and he rode forward, he stared at the scene with a mouth wide open as he saw a small hill blocking the entry

An eerie night wind blew by and brought along a thick, disgusting and bloody smell that made him and the rest of the cavaliers want to puke.

The horses that strode forward with all their might were scared and these horses with a horror-stricken expression stepped back continuously.

The cavaliers stopped and asked the men to light up the torches and move them forward.

Whosssshh!!

The flames of the torch flickered in the night breeze and lit up the darkness in front of them.

“Aaaaaahhh!”

“What the hell!”

A soul-wrenching noise echoed throughout the place.
