A few minutester Oliver entered the office and Andrew mentioned the idea of using some guards as an audience for the dancers to practice. Oliver thought about it for a moment and then said, "It can be done, as long as there are no more than 10 people or we will have problems with the defenses."
Andrew nodded and gave him the list of guards he''d chosen. Andrew was always watching everyone in the Heavenly Pce with his Eros eyes, to see if there were any changes, whether they were bad or good, that''s why he knew who the most loyal guards were.
It was not strange that the most loyal guards were the oldest since they had been with him the longest and had developed a feeling of respect and loyalty towards him by the way he treated them.
Oliver took the list, reviewed it briefly, and nodding his head, said, "Okay, I''ll notify them so they can report to the dance room after breakfast tomorrow."
With that topic concluded, Oliver left to brief the selected guards while Andrew and the girls remained in the office discussing various topics.
While everything was going on as normal in the Heavenly Pce, a falcon had arrived at the messenger tower at the castle. The administrator of the ce took the message from the falcon''s foot and after reading it, he ran to the meeting room where the king and the ministers were discussing the stampede of monsters.
Zelfit was reporting on the defense strategies they were adopting when there was a knock on the door that interrupted him. "What''s going on?" the king asked aloud, and without the door being opened, one of the guards was heard to report, "The manager of the messaging tower has an important message."
"Let him in," the king said again, and the door opened. The man entered the room and after bowing and greeting all present he respectfully delivered the message to the king.
The king read the message with a serious expression and told the man who had brought the message, "Send homing pigeons throughout the city, from noon martialw is dered until further notice. Only food, medicine, and weapons stores can conduct business, the monster stampede mighte tomorrow."
The messenger promptly replied, "Immediately, majesty" and departed. The moment the study door closed, the king passed the message to the ministers to read and avoid unnecessary questions.
When everyone had read the message, they were all serious. It wasn''t the first time they had faced a stampede of monsters, but ording to the message they received, this time it would be much bigger.
That was not the only problem. The message also said that the scouting team had spotted two peculiarities. The first several flying monsters could be in the stampede, which was bad news since they could overrun the wall.
It wasn''t like there weren''t any flying monsters in the past, but they were always few in number, since in the ck forest there weren''t many flying-type monsters, but this time they had spotted a lot of them and that was troublesome.
The other peculiarity, which was also bad news, was that the scouting team had seen a group of hooded men inside the ck forest. Unfortunately, the scouting team couldn''t capture or know what their purpose was, but the fact that they were in the ck forest when a stampede wasing was not a good sign.
They all had bitter expressions on their faces, but they couldn''t do anything at the moment, they could only face the problem in front of them and that was the stampede of monsters, so the king said in an authoritative tone, "Zelfit, report about the flying monsters, strengthen the crossbows and let the magicians be attentive to the sky".
The king paused and spoke again, "As for the men in the ck forest, we will deal with themter." Zelfit responded with a short, "Yes, majesty" and hurried away.
The others remained in the room discussing other matters until the meeting ended an hourter. Now the king was alone and he said softly, "Demon, have you found anything?"
And from the shadows, the hooded man from thest time emerged and delivered a letter to the king before disappearing into the shadows again. The king was not bothered by the man''s attitude, because he always acted like that.
The king opened the letter and upon reading it, his expression turned deathly cold as he said, "Keep gathering information". This time there was no response, but the king knew that his orders had been passed on.
Shortly after the castle''s messenger tower manager received the king''s order, arge number of homing pigeons flew through the city reporting martialw and everyone knew then that the stampede of monsters wasing.
Since the fact that there would be many flying monsters this time had also been notified, everyone was in a panic, as those monsters were the biggest threat, as they could cross the wall without any trouble.
For that very reason, Andrew and Oliver decided to cancel their n to use the guards to help the dancers, as they needed every man to protect the Heavenly Pce now that they knew that flying monsters wereing.
Andrew also consulted with Fluffy if there were anybat skills he could buy to defend himself now that there was such a risk as flying monsters, but he ended up disappointed, as he didn''t have enough points.
Andrew couldn''t help but get annoyed at how expensive thebat skills of an Eros god were, since he had close to 5 million points and it still wasn''t enough. That frustrated him.
Oliver made sure that all the residents of the Heavenly Pce knew about the new threat and it worried them, but since there was not much they could do, they could only pray that nothing bad happened to them. story-at-MvLeMpYr
The threat from the flying monsters was so great that everyone in the city was depressed and the residents of the Heavenly Pce were no exception. The anxiety was so great that even at night Andrew and the girls did not feel like having fun and just went to bed early.
The next morning, the atmosphere in the city was heavy and depressing, as everyone knew that the monster attack could start today. The meeting that Andrew had scheduled with Nad had also been postponed, since with martialw it would beplex to meet, not to mention dangerous.
The hours slowly passed, increasing the anxiety and worry of the city''s inhabitants, and afternoon, the city''s rm sounded. The soldiers quickly began to mobilize and take their positions.
On the wall, Zelfit looked to the horizon where a ck patch could be seen on the earth and sky. More than 2,000 ground monsters and close to 1,000 air monsters made him put on a serious expression because as long as he could remember, there had never been such arge stampede.
Monsters of all shapes and sizes were running and flying with murderous res and saliva dripping from their mouths rushing into the city and when they were a few kilometers from the city, Zelfit shouted, "GET READY!!!"
