“These, Death, are what the people of this world called bombs, according to the information I have gathered. When I first arrived in this world, I used my time wisely and learned what I could, starting with the language and working my way from there. These bombs are something that can be dropped on the enemy and cause massive explosions. These weapons are crude at best, but they will do the job we need. You see, they can kill humans easily. And they can cause large destruction on the terrain. This means we can use them as a means of a distraction while we go all out.” The Demon Queen of Death was never one to not know the enemy. Even if they were weak, she would be sure of what she was getting herself into first. She learned from before she was sealed it was not good to underestimate her opponent. Even now, she was learning new things.
She understood that when she saw the ice dragon and the others appear, and instead of attacking her or Death going straight for Lust, that they knew of her plans and who would be the most troublesome on the battlefield.
“We may have numbers advantage but the people who we are up against are on par with us. We are not facing a weak enemy. We need to use everything we can to take them on.” The Demon Queen of Darkness’s eyes were filled with playful light. She had not been so excited in a long time. She truly wondered just how this battle would turn out.
“Let’s hope it all works out well…. Shall I have some of my undead bring these to the front lines?” Death asked. She wanted to help as much as possible.
“Yeah. But only start throwing them when I say so. We need to throw them in an arch so that the rounded front part will crash into the ground, causing an explosion.”

A massive horde of undead were cutting a path through a dense forest. Trees were being pushed down left and right as they continued pushing forward. Staying just ahead of them was a group of wood elves and fairies each one was not looking too good. “We have to retreat quickly. This many undead is just too much!”
“Her Holiness said we had to keep our positions. She only told us to retreat if we came under attack. Our main forces are already on the move. It seems they are already aware of the numbers. They are taking extra precautions just in case.”
“Are we really going to fight this!? They even have a few undead dragons as well as giants!” One of the fairies cried out. Off in the distance was a massive skeleton twenty feet tall and bones as thick as tree trunks. But the thing about these giants was that they did not come from the other world. The world where the fairies and wood elves originated from. These giants were part of Earth’s ancient hidden history. A history covered up by the governments and scientists. Why this was, no one will ever know.
The other world also had giants, but nothing like these giants. The giants of the other world were more of an orc type of race, while the giants of Earth actually wielded great power, ruled the lands, and came from the skies above. They crashed on Earth and enslaved the humans of old, forcing them to build great monuments with the technology they were able to salvage from their crash site. They were truly fearsome beings.
“All of you relax and continue to stay at a distance. When you meet up with the army, retreat to the back and only cast long-distance spells once the battle begins. You guys have been a great help.” Juna’s voice filled the air.
“Understood.” The group of wood elves and fairies all responded.
Back in the base, Desaray waved her hand. “Prison Of Absolute Cold….” A dome of ice formed overhead. This was Desaray’s first line of defense for the base. If they could break through her barrier, which freezes everything, then they would need to use the other defenses to keep the base safe. At that time, she would be calling for a retreat.
Retreat would only happen if they start losing too many people, if the situation looks grim, or if she feels like the battle is useless. “Let’s just hope we do not have too many surprises.”
“Desa, you should rest…” Yi Ling stood at Desaray’s side.
“I can’t. My best friend is hurt. They have an army of well over two billion marching towards us. We have no idea what the Demon Queen of Darkness has up her sleeve. We have to keep our guards up at all times, especially now that our own people are out there moving to fight the massive army. Ling, you led your people as well, so you know how war is. If this was just some other kingdom, I would stand on the front lines. But like the demon queens who are not showing their faces, I also need to do the same. Only when they appear will our strongest appear as well.”
