Chapter 1496 1496. Unexpected Arrivals
"Then we should wait a little longer. Knowing Scylla she will be here soon. Once that happens I will personally take control of these border lands as patrolling troops. Scylla will lead troops to free one or two villages depending on locations." Rorick was not going to hesitate. He was the king but he also knew that if he rushed deeper in to enemy territory it could leave a kingdom without a ruler.
Scylla was not only a member of the Genesis council but also still a general under King Rorick. Therefore, she had the power to carry out his order and will. This was the best alternative to him actually going.
"Pass on the message that we are going to prepare to go to the villages. The captured demon soldiers can be held here. I will trust the Genesis council to make a proper plan for them." Walker knew that he should not decide what happened to the demon soldiers that actively chose to be terrible to their own race.
There was too much anger for those that were in the battle. Seeing the villagers that had obviously been hiding from their own soldiers that should have been protecting them harmed was too much. The feelings of everyone around Walker were too easy to see.
"But make sure you treat them properly, I want the soldiers that escort these demon soldiers to the prisons to know that these are still living beings. We are not going to be worse than those with cruel intentions." Walker was sure that this was the right move. Just because someone was cruel and dastardly did not mean that they were any less alive.
"Brother, the harpies are sharing this information. But the tamers are saying that some of the demonic monsters were under the control of demon tamers." This was an interesting development. It was pretty normal to expect that the tamers would be unable to control the demonic monsters that had fallen under Wrath\'s madness. But knowing that some had actually be tamed by the demons was miraculous.
"How many are causing problems? Are they demon soldiers or innocents?" Walker would allow the demonic monsters under the control of innocents to return to them. It would make any monster unhappy and in anger if they were separated from their tamer. The bond they often shared was deeper than most people.
What really came to Walker\'s mind was how the demons were able to tame demonic monsters. It was such a rare skill that only one person Walker had met could tame demonic monsters. "We will keep an eye on the demonic monsters. But make sure that those that are not under the control of the soldiers are allowed back to their tamer." The reassurance that Walker gave about this made Onyx rush to tell more people. He felt the same way as Walker.
"So that is why Ignus, Current, and Mordant have accepted you. A very interesting skill. It even made me rethink my control over the wind." Ventus landed in her dragonkin form. Her three children circled above waiting for her to tell them what to do. They already knew that they would be tested to protect a small village but they needed to know where and what specifically to do. This was their test to become stronger.
"We should have a plan soon. The soldiers that can move on are already grouping up to push forward. The only issue is healers. We will need more." Walker wasn\'t sure what to do. He didn\'t exp[ect that what everyone would lack the most was healers.
"Healers? That should not be a problem at all."
Terron walked up in dragonkin form. He was certainly not a healer but was saying that it was not an issue.
"You have interesting ways to get things done. I won\'t shun you completely since you might have the ability to act more like a dragon. Do not exp[ect me to like you though." This seemed to be the nicest thing he would get from the stubborn Terron. But it was an improvement.
"I will take what I can get. What did you mean about healers though?" Walker was still lost but Terron appeared to enjoy knowing something that he didn\'t.
"That human king arrived just moments ago. He is alone but for his soldiers and a large group of healers all wearing white robes." Terron was sure that Walker would understand what was going on.
"But king August should be in Diamond with the queen…" Walker jumped up and ran toward the walls. He made it in time to see a gate opening and many soldiers walking through. They were in defensive formations but that was to protect the single person in the center.
"There you are. I was trying to find others in charge but all I could find was a few commanders and a royal dragon that ignored me when I tried to speak to him." There was dust from traveling all over the soldiers, healers, and king Walker could tell they had not stopped once.
"I had to call on some very distant friends to help gather them, but every traveling healer, village healer, and healer from the cathedral within Diamond has been called out to come here. They will march all the way to the demon capital if needed." August smiled. This was his only goal. He couldn\'t allow the troops to leave Diamond unprotected. Too many were already at the border and he needed to ensure the safety of his people and unborn child.
"That\'s exactly what we need. I was just going to work on the healer shortage. We need to get them to villages that we are going to be freeing from the demons." The sudden showing of king August brought more life to the human soldiers that had been along the walls for a longer time. They had been away from home for a length of time.
The human soldiers were seeing the king of their home. The man who had asked them to give their time to protect the borders to the demon lands from danger. The man that had gathered them to keep their entire kingdom safe. It brought much more strength seeing that he had also brought them the help they needed to put an end to the war they had been fighting for so long.
