Cardinal Leon had temporarily taken control of all military power in the capital. As such, he directed the guards on the city wall personally. If he had not done so, all of the guards would have been paralyzed by fear.

The arrogant Cretans had been completely demoralized by the recent news from Holy Seville. If the Cardinal had not brought 20,000 soldiers as reinforcement and personally reassured the people that the pope and saintess would send help, the capital would have fallen already.

In the last few days, they had received intelligence that the Holy Seville Empire would arrive today. As such, they had taken their weapons to attack the capital.

Leon knew that the human alliance army was heading over. However, if they could not arrive before the Holy Seville army, he knew he could not hold this city with less than 100,000 soldiers.

Moreover, the other side had the holy knights and a divine artifact with a power far beyond common weaponry. So, he knew how terrifying it would be if Saintess Kelly personally led the priests into battle.

Dong Dong Dong!

The emergency bell sounded. However, it was unnecessary, as all of the guards on the wall could already see the huge army looming on the horizon.

Theyre finally here!

So, that is the army of Holy Seville!

Lion King Will is coming. That legendary king of the orcs, who was chosen by God to wield the Sword of the King!

All of the people on the city walls were looking at the black dots on the horizon. Many knights were carrying banners with countless infantry following behind them. The lines stretched as far as the eye could see.

The enemies were like waves in the ocean, covering all of the earth with dense formations of pointed spears that gleamed in the sunlight. Many of them held flags denoting the various militias and families within the orc nation. The flags fluttered in the wind menacingly.

The most eye-catching flag was the flag of the emperor. It depicted a golden lion on a scarlet flag and it was flown high above the others. Verthandis holy knights of the north were grouped around it.

Once again, the city was overcast by clouds. Even though this was just another cloudy day, the citizens in the capital felt personally forsaken by God. Neither light nor warmth reached them and they found the oppressive atmosphere to be suffocating.

Cardinal Leon stood on the city wall, clothed in red and gold. He had a battle scar on his face that emitted an air of authority and intimidation. But right now, even he felt a deep sense of uncertainty.

Emperor of the Holy Seville Empire, Will Eranbell! Someone in the crowd shouted, as the sound of hooves stampeding from afar and the screams of the warhorses travelled across the plains. As the hundreds of thousands of soldiers descended, they generated a massive dust storm. No one had ever seen such a terrifying scene before, including Cardinal Leon.

No one believed that the troops within the city would be able to defend against this attack. As all of the elites were killed in the Depps Grand Canyon, other than the reinforcements from the church, the soldiers were new recruits. After witnessing the march of the hundreds of thousands of enemy war veterans, the recruits knees were weak and shaking.

One young man, who had just donned his armor for the first time, said despondently, Were all going to die here.

A middle-aged soldier kissed the ornament on his chest and said, God have mercy.

A teenager, who had yet to grow a beard, dropped onto his knees and clutched his headas he repeated to himself, Dont be scared. Dont be scared.

Cardinal Leon sighed. It seemed the human reinforcements would not make it on time. As the Cardinal of the Church of Light and the highest commander within Crete right now, he could not retreat. After all, he was the defender and representative of his faith, so he could only die here fighting the infidels!

Leon drew his sword and roared, FOR GOD!

Across the wall, all of the soldiers of the Church drew their swords and also screamed, FOR GOD!

The atmosphere then stabilized, as most of the troops accepted their impending deaths and reignited their faiths. The rest of the troops also settled down, gaining immeasurable courage from their religious beliefs.

Just as everyone braced for the attack, the army in the distance stopped. The defenders became confused for a moment, but then they heard noise coming from the other side.

What is that?!

Its the reinforcements! Theyre here!

The knights of the Church of Light and the allies of the human country!

There are the allied nations, the Kingdom of the Church of Light, the Kingdom Rosa Doro, and the Duchy of Creer!

On the horizon, troops carrying flags with the insignia of the sun had just appeared. Countless human knights finally rushed over, while the huge army appeared by the southern hills.

The Holy Seville army had also seen the incoming human army, which is why they had stopped. As the capital was situated on the largest plateau within Crete, it was on a very flat area. As such, you could see armies coming in from all directions.

No one thought that both armies would arrive at the exact same time! The human allied army had barely made it in time to stop the advance of Holy Seville!

Our allies are here!

The reinforcements from the Church have arrived. Her holiness has led the army outside the city.

We are saved!

When the guards within the capital received this news. All of them were so relieved, they burst into tears. Many of them cheered as they walked outside. All of the soldiers hugged each other and thanked the Lord, the Church, and the Saintess.

Outside the city, both sides now amounted to over a million troops. At this moment, on the Sumerian plains, the armies on both side were marching towards each other.

Standing on the city wall, everyone felt excitement coursing through their veins. They were watching the birth of a legend! The people were beyond themselves, exclaiming loudly

Are they going to fight?

This will be a war that will become the stuff of legends. We are witnessing the creation of history!

Fight! Fight!

Many knights from the Church Corps within the city wanted to open the gates, so that they could go out and join the human allied army under the banner of the Saintess. They felt ready to fight the barbarians and the infidels!
