Last Hero
Chapter 20: The East Fortress

After the banquet and resting, Fel explained everything in front of us.

The seven deadly sins intend to destroy the demi-human capital by using the ancient magic of an explosion magic.

They would send their magic to the sky, and when it was able to form a gigantic magic then the entire demi-human country would be destroyed.

Each of the seven deadly sins was in the eastern, western, northern and southern fortresses and three more people were in the palace.

This allows us to be able to defeat each one of them, one is defeated then this magic will not work.

The problem is that we do not know who is in each place and how their capabilities, in terms of war we are outnumbered and also lack of information.

However, there was no way but to do it, everyone nodded in agreement.

Marie and Kila are going to the North Fortress.

Yue and Noel will go to the Western Fortress.

Fel and Carot are going to the South Fortress.

Me and the princess will go to the East Fortress.

I was surprised that the princess herself would participate in this war but she clearly seemed ready for whatever happened.

"Then each one of us brings a little army and whoever is finished goes straight to the palace."

We all nodded in response then dispersed with the horses each had prepared. Kokoro and I led in front of and behind us the strong and strong knights followed.

"We won't know how many people will be lost in this war, I'd at least like to remember the faces of everyone here."

What he said was appropriate, however we do not know what kind of opponent we will face.

From a distance we could see the fort in question, in the center of the building a laser-like beam had been shot up into the sky.

There was a crystal-like object placed there and everyone took turns casting magic into it. Our goal is to destroy it.

Kokoro glanced at everyone to make sure everything was ready, he drew his sword then said attack and we followed him from behind.

There was no plan we could use in this place except to attack directly to the point of the fortress.

The guards who were aware of our arrival began to turn the bow towards us and then thrust a lot of arrows at us.

Kokoro cast a unique magic to install a barrier that makes the entire arrow hit the wall invisible until it falls on the ground.

A large-bodied knight carrying a giant spear took over at the front, he pointed the tip of his spear and it pierced through the gate until we could get into it.

I chose to jump from the horse and climb to a high place to take down the archers. They are quite troublesome if not handled first.

I pulled the sword and kicked them to the ground.

"You!"

Some of them used swords as well and I balanced their play, the thumping sounds rang out from all directions along with the dazzling glint of the two metals colliding against each other.

I pushed out his sword then moved swiftly to slash at them, this was the result of my training all along.

A few arrows shot at me and I slashed them into small pieces.
