Haturdas the Demon lord of the Ifridus race brought his army to make the first attack but he saw the peculiarity of the castle that had been controlled by humans from another world.
Arungal Castle had now been enveloped in some sort of unknown object but Haturdas did not want to think too much about it in this attack and intended to continue advancing to lead the army of Ifridus, who was not aware of it, Nelfire and Imp who are the demon race who master fire element magic.
Antonio and the people in the Arungal castle saw the approaching demon army from a distance so Antonio immediately prepared his troops to defend the castle.
"Antonio seems to be a demon army that is not coming too much, is it possible that the demons are underestimating us?" Said Miranda who saw the demon army coming.
Miranda is indeed a dragon that can be******* tens of thousands of troops with her powers but for others the troops that come are still demons that are said to be stronger than the human race.
"I don't know what that means because I thought the kingdom of Munarak would send four or five divisions of demon troops but that came not even half a division." Antonio said commenting on the number of demonic forces coming.
"Isn't this good that my disguise as a human being won't be exposed because I don't have to change my form back into a dragon in front of the people in the castle." Miranda.
Antonio had also thought that Miranda would object if she had to dismantle her disguise as a human in front of others but now the problem did not need to be worried anymore because the number of enemy troops was only about half division or about twenty-five thousand troops.
"Miranda then I guess only I should turn into a dragon because the number of demons there is still dangerous for the people in the castle." Said Antonio.
"That's good because I also want to see your form as a dragon because once one of my subordinate dragons had said that your form as a dragon is very extraordinary even has twelve horns." Miranda.
Antonio thinks 'It must be a dragon that sees me who is changing shape during a mission to the north but it is true that the black dragon Salzela once said that the horn of a dragon is a crown symbol of the dignity and strength of a dragon.
"Miranda but later you will have to hit my head after I turn into a dragon." Pinta Antonio makes Miranda a little confused.
"Why are you asking me to do that?" Ask Miranda.
"Miranda I don't really understand either but when I turn into a dragon my consciousness disappears whereas my body will continue to move berserk and attack anything without me being able to control and with just a violent clash in my head my consciousness will be able to return." Bright Antonio.
"Surely I never knew it because when I used Polymorp's magic power I didn't experience it." Miranda said, who also just found out.
"Ah it turns out you don't know either but I think it happens when people who make a change of form to stronger beings." Said Antonio.
While Antonio chatted with Miranda the chief representatives of the temple were seen approaching to the place where Prince Antonio was standing on the balcony of the castle of Arungal.
"Prince Antonio's large enemy army has come and it's not dangerous because the number of demons is almost three times the number of our entire army here." Said the Bishop of Asgur who was worried.
"The intention of the arrival of the holy army from the four temples here is indeed as you said just now, but we also have to think about the strength of the enemy so that we can survive here?" The bishop of Argur.
Antonio saw the three chief representatives of the temple who were also there with the bishop of Asgur who did not bring enough Paladin troops because their duty here was too sudden to have had time to prepare all that.
"You Paladins from the temple should go home if you are afraid of facing the devil we can overcome all the demons by ourselves." Said Antonio.
The representatives of the temple there did consider the words of Prince Antonio a little because some of the Paladin troops they brought looked very restless just by looking at the large army of demons that came closer, he said, but they could not leave because it would be a shame if the holy army were to escape in fighting the evil demons.
The blue bishop of Asgur also thought that Prince Antonio must have some kind of plan because Prince Remaria was seen to be so calm in the face of the threat of the incoming demon army.
"Your Highness Prince Antonio then what should we do to help you here?" Ask the blue Bishop of Asgur of the Arasian temple.
"Hm. so you've decided not to step down, so, then for the Paladins and Priests to each side of the castle tower have them cast protective dome magic all over the Arungal castle to make a defense, The adventurers brought by Mr. Erban will protect them against the demon who broke through." Said Antonio.
"We're the only troops from the temple and guild guild then what about Remaria's army?" The Bishop of Asgur said he felt little objection to the fact that Remaria's forces were not involved in the plan.
"Mr Argur Remaria's army led by commander Ramdira will hold off the enemy's main army who managed to reach the castle from the front while Miranda and I will be busy enough to rush into the enemy ranks to slaughter them." Said Antonio.
"So you alone with Miss Mira who is about to advance isn't it too dangerous because those demons must be so strong that we might even have trouble holding back the onslaught of demons in this castle." The bishop of Asgur.
"Bishop Asgur you worry too much anyway look most of the enemies are just weak Imp demons and all we have to watch out for are the 5,000 Nelfire and 2500 Ifridus who look pretty strong there." Said Antonio.
The Demon army was getting closer to the castle and everyone immediately put themselves into the position requested by Prince Antonio in the plan to defend the Arungal castle.
"Mr Kurgo will Prince Antonio's plan really work?" Ask the Bishop of Asgur who spoke to the representatives of the adventurer guild guild.
"The blue bishop of Asgur do you still doubt the ability of Prince Antonio and whether you have forgotten all the extraordinary things my prince has ever done, Prince Antonio is no ordinary man he is a hero who has changed the history of the world with his own power." Said Nobility Erban Den Kurgo representative of the guild of the western continent.
The Bishop of Asgur did know quite a lot about Prince Antonio but he still found it hard to believe that Prince Antonio bravely advanced himself to challenge this kind of danger with complete calm.
