Chapter 11
Three hours later, Thomas, Connie, and I stood looking over the battlefield. Thousands of Thomasâs demon horde faced off against a legion from Hell that outnumbered us a hundred to one.
The demons of Thomasâs army towered over humans, but the legions of Hell made Thomasâs horde look like babies. They were stronger, bigger, and meaner than the armies of Earth. I wasnât afraid of much, but they frightened me.
âWhyâhow are they so massive?â Connie asked Thomas.
âThe ones who already came up to Earth were smaller, and sick of getting pushed around. These ones here are the ones who were doing the pushing.â
âSo, youâre saying that the ones weâre about to fight are bigger and stronger than anything weâve fought before, and thereâs more of them.â
âThatâs what Iâm saying.â
Thomas turned to his men. Behind the rows of his legions were three dozen catapults full of sulfuric rock. Imps stood with swords at the ready to cut away the rope that bound them and send the boulders flying. Five hundred archers stood with them, ready to light their arrows on fire.
âSoldiers,â Thomas began. âThis is the final battle. We have trained for this too little and we number too few. Most of you will fall, perhaps all of you. But should you fall, know that your gallantry will be rewarded in Heaven!â
The demons cheered for him. They loved him, and Thomas fed on it. âYour sacrifice today will not be in vain. It will not be squandered. We will succeed. It is our only option!â
The demons cheered again. Thomas pointed his sword toward the catapults and swung it sharply toward the rift. âFire a volley of molten rock to announce our presence!â
The imps cut through their ropes. The molten rocks sailed into the air and exploded against Satanâs multitudes. âArchers! At the ready!â
The archers lit their flaming arrows and let loose a barrage into the sea of Satanâs men. A scream arose from our enemies and they charged. Thomas lifted his sword into the heavens. âAttack!â
Thomasâs legions charged into battle. The charge kicked dirt and sand high into the air and clouded the sky. Then, armor, weapons, and bodies crashed against each other like deep ocean waves against rock. Shouts rang out from both sides. Once-proud demons screamed like babies as they fell in front of us. Swords, axes, spears, and all manner of weaponry created a haunting orchestra which rang toward the heavens.
The dust cleared long enough for me to see a demon charging at me. I ducked its advance then elbowed it in the stomach and smashed its face with my war hammer. âI think this mightâve been a mistake!â
Connie ripped the eye out of a demonâs skull. âWhereâs your sense of fun?â
âThe fun is in surviving, Connie. What has gotten into you?â
âIt will all work out, Katrina.â She smiled as she sliced a demonâs throat open. âYou just gotta have faith.â
âJesus Christ. Have you turned religious on me?â
âHeâs got nothing to do with it,â Connie said. âI just know some things you donât know yet.
