On the other side of the battlefield, as the winds roared and lightning fell, the Riders kept smiting their enemies with ease, for nothing could stop them.

After all, they had been summoned to deal with someone much more powerful.

That meant that anyone else was simply too weak to challenge them.

Their numbers, their spells, their strength...

None of that mattered before them.

For against those that are an incarnation of a primordial storm, those things were equivalent to a child fighting against the wind itself.

*NEEEEIIIIIGH*

And as they galloped through the battlefield, wreaking havoc, and bringing death to all, their horses neighed, relishing in the crunching sounds of those crushed beneath their thundering hooves, for they were unlucky to stand on their path.

"[DRACONIC BRE—ARGH!"

"[DRACONIC TORR—ENBRH!!"

"[DRACONIC WAI—GAHG!!"

"Pointless."

Coldly declared Bellary as she impaled, not one, nor two, but three Lesser Dragon Lords with her lance and threw their bodies to the side.

"And yet...the undead have started to outnumber the living."

Then, stopping for moment, she surveyed her surroundings and said that as the right half of her face returned to the guise of a metallic skull and with an intense red bead of light as an eye.

An eye that could see many things including that which is curse of...unrest.

And she saw many...

From bone warriors, ghouls, and liches, to types of undead that were not in the battlefield before.

Bone Chimeras, Red Liches, Fiery Blood Skulls, and even Black Skulls Berserkers. All were undead only found in legend or, in Bellary's case, her memories of an ancient time.

"So, she truly seeks to unleash that thing here... It could have been effective in bringing ruin to this land, but now...our King will not stand idly before it, nor her forces."

With that, the right half of her face returned to its new normal as she tapped her horse's side...

*NEEEIGH*

...and went back to killing just as her subordinates were doing, for her King demanded that her enemies were to be lay waste.

Thus, it shall be done, regardless of what happened.

Meanwhile, at the Capital's main plaza, most of Kingdom's forces prepared to enter battle as they waited for the rest to arrive there.

As for the civilians who usually filled such place and its surrounding streets, if they were not helping with carrying things or delivering weapons, then they were staying at home, just as the guards had asked them to. No one disobeyed. And why would they? The fate of their home was in the balance, no petty reason was enough to risk that.

"We cannot let our esteemed guests be the only ones to be protecting our Capital."

So said a blonde woman with elegant armor.

She was the current head of the Pyr Household, Countess Myriel Pyr.

""""Yes!"""

""""It is as you say, Milady!""""
