It's too late. "
Osis stood on an unnamed hill northeast of Starwind City, overlooking the tragic war scene, and sighed heavily.
"It seems that I still misjudged that lord's ability, and the destruction of Star Wind City is inevitable."
Under Starwind City, the demon vanguard brought by Moore was still attacking the city day and night. The scarlet tide lapped at the city wall, washing away some broken waves every time.
The human defenders used their own blood to guard the lives of the people in the city.
However, they are like prisoners on death row. Although they can still hide in the cage to breathe for a while, they do not know that the end is approaching and death is imminent.
This scene felt very familiar to Osis.
After Jorvik lost the decisive battle, the night when the demon army came to Talengarde was so similar to the crisis facing Starwind City now.
"I didn't expect...the people I spent my whole life trying to save would not be able to escape the fate of death in the end."
"They must know this news," Osis thought. "All the blood of the Griffin Principality should not be buried in Starwind City."
Osis sprang into action.
The big demon knelt down half-kneeling, leaning on the ground with his fist. A circle of scarlet flames appeared out of thin air, igniting the hay on the top of the mountain.
The next moment, his figure crossed time and space and appeared in Starwind City.
When it arrived, its sharp claws crushed the thick stone bricks, and what came from its nose was the aura of light that disgusted all demons.
Osis looked around and found that the place he was in was very empty.
"This... seems to be a square?"
As a demon reincarnated from a human, Osis vaguely remembers his visit to Starwind City as the military commander of Talengard in his previous life.
The picture in my memory is almost the same as the scene in front of me.
The holy light on the spire of Elrath Cathedral was bright, dispersing some of the dark red clouds lingering in the sky. The military-style city lord's palace was rough in shape, standing on the east side of the cathedral like a tower.
On one side of the square, the majestic divine buildings show the glory of mankind, and the air is filled with the strong smell of fireworks unique to prosperous cities.
"Yes, I remember..." Osis opened his mouth and murmured, "This is the central square of Starwind City."
Different from what I remembered, there was a monument carved in white stone erected in the middle of the square, and behind the monument floated a flag that I had never seen before.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Silver Star Griffin flag, Osis was stunned.
How long has it been since he saw the flag of the Griffin Principality flying in the sky?
A rush of running sound came from behind.
"Devil! You are not allowed to defile the Morning Star Monument!"
Osis turned around, a thin figure reflected in his yellow eyes.
A little human boy was holding a short sword and facing him with a stern expression.
"Norman!" An older girl ran over, came behind the boy, and dragged him back, "Go back to the shelter, it's too dangerous outside!"
The boy named Norman looked at Osis with hatred. The child's face was stained with blood from unknown sources. When he was dragged away by the girl, Norman still waved the dagger reluctantly.
"Sister Xuerou, let me go! Uncle Hank was also killed... I want to avenge everyone!"
Osis watched the two children arrive at the edge of the square with cold eyes.
Suddenly, a ferocious-looking flying monster emerged from the red clouds above the square, roaring and attacking Norman and Xuerou.
Osis took a few steps and punched the monster above Norman's head to pieces. The demon's bones and blood were sprinkled on the boy's face.
Norman looked up at the big demon blocking the holy light, his face full of surprise.
He didn't understand why Osis would kill fellow demons.
Osis looked down at the two petrified children, grinned widely and said, "Brave Norman, in return for my saving your life, please help me find the commander of Starwind City. ....." Osis scratched his head, "...by the way, tell him that the blood reward is here."
The boy looked extremely surprised, said nothing, and in turn dragged the girl and ran away from the square quickly.
"There is a lack of guard power in such an important place as the central square. It seems that Starwind City is at the end of its rope." Osis boomed.
While waiting, he came to the center of the square again.
"Morning Star Monument, right? This thing seems very important..."
Osis looked at the contents recorded on the monument:
The Undead Chapter, Starwind City's Third Guard Company—All Soldiers
Captain of the Third Defense Company of Starwind City——Evan
Fjord Village Guard Captain——Jim
Stalker of Blackcliff - Carlisle
The Unknown Warrior of the Claws of the Gryphon - "The Messenger"
Talengard garrison leader, blood reward——Osis
Chapter Master of the Griffin Claws - Umberto
...
Behind a long list of carefully engraved names, there are also a lot of dense handwriting, some of which are dotted with fresh blood marks. They seem to be the defenders of Starwind City who recently died at the hands of demons.
Hunter and Militiaman of Stonehearth Village——Pierce
Dragoncalling Harbor Auxiliary Army Soldier——Bard
Star Wind City Construction Group technical craftsman and militiaman——Hank
...
Standing in front of the cathedral of Elrath, looking at the all-white Morning Star Monument, Osis was speechless for a long time.
"It seems that they made much more sacrifices to build and protect this city than I imagined."
"But why is my name still here?" Osis murmured in confusion.
"I did it," a man's voice came from behind. "I suggested that the lord add your name to the monument. At that time, we all thought you were dead."
The big demon turned around and saw a short-haired man wearing griffon armor and covered in blood.
"Is it you? Are you the commander of Starwind City now?"
Osis recognized Dewey, whom he had met outside the slave camp at Talengard.
Dewey looked at the other person with a complicated expression: "Yes, I am Dewey, but I never thought that we would meet again in this way, and Tangtang's blood reward turned out to be a demon."
Osis roared with laughter: "Dewey, throw away your ridiculous pity, I ventured into the city to give you a warning."
Dewey frowned and said in a nervous voice, "What kind of warning? Are all the demons in Talengard coming out?"
Osis shook his head: "The matter is more serious than you think. The undead and mechanical legions from the west have arrived in Talengard. They will merge with 400,000 demons to form a million-sized army. The army..."
O'His paused, allowing the shocked Dewey to process what he had heard before continuing.
"This army will reinforce the Broken Star Legion entrenched in the north of Falkenridge, and jointly launch an attack on the "last barrier" high wall, with the goal of capturing the Falcon Principality and then completely occupying the entire empire. "
"Before this, Starwind City will be like a speck of dust, blocking the way of this army."
Osis said in a serious tone for the first time: "Dewey, there is no time in Starwind City. Before the millions of troops arrive, lead everyone to break out of the city."
Dewey looked at the big devil with a serious face and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked: "What should we do with the hundreds of thousands of people in the city?"
Osis answered without hesitation: "Most of them will die during the breakout, and the rest will be killed by the chasing demons. This city is destined to have only a very few people able to escape and survive, just like ...Same as Talengard once was.”
"Then, please excuse my refusal," Dewey replied firmly.
