Chapter 8

Ingredient Deficency

The next morning, our forces gathered together and set off toward Vahn. Most of us walked. A few rode on Struts—those bird-like Demon Beasts with fluffy feathers, gangly legs, and long necks. However, they weren’t the only mounts people were riding on.

I glanced at a large reptile as it passed by me, its four long legs granting it a swift stride despite how ponderous it looked. This one had green scales that glistened in the light. Yellow eyes with no whites stared at me as it went by. I’d only seen a few Land Drakes before, but I’d still seen enough to recognize one.

It took two hours to reach Vahn from our current location, but that was partly because we moved at a slower speed so as not to exhaust our fighting forces too much. When we finally reached the city, and I got a good glimpse of it, I could only frown when I didn’t immediately spot anything out of place.

“It doesn’t look like there’s anything wrong here,” I muttered.

“It does seem rather peaceful, doesn’t it?” Kari added.

“That peace is deceptive,” Tungsten said. He and Erica were marching alongside us. We were at the head of the procession. “It might seem peaceful now, but that is only because those invaders have slaughtered all the people who were living there. Wait until you enter the city.”

This man had a very blunt way of speaking, but I figured his gruff attitude was just a part of his personality and tried not to let it bother me. Kari didn’t seem bothered either. On the other hand, Erica was rolling her eyes at the man.

“Everyone!” Erica shouted as she turned around and glanced at our army. We were about five thousand strong, which wasn’t much compared to the forces arrayed against us, but that didn’t stop her from exuding an aura of confidence. “An unknown force of strange creatures has invaded one of our cities, taken the lives of our people, and disrupted the peace we have maintained for thousands of years! We cannot allow such villainous acts to go unpunished! Today, we will teach these invaders of the mistake they made in coming here!”

The woman was a great orator. Her words had a rallying effect on our troops, causing them to cheer, shout, and stomp their feet. I recognized that it was probably more than just her words. The women of the Battling Valkyries adored her, and the men of the Paladin Sect coveted her strength and beauty. It wouldn’t be outrageous to consider her an object of worship among the masses. I’d heard through the grapevine that Erica even had her own fan club.

Axel was an honorary member.

“Are all of you ready?!” Erica demanded to know. The resulting roars made her turn around and point the massive claymore in her hand at the city. “Then CHARGE!”

Her words were like a battle horn that echoed across the vast plain, and with her command, the men and women of the Paladin Sect and Battling Valkyries broke into a sprint.
