<h4>Chapter 188 188:The Army Of Darkness</h4>


    In the heart of a deste mist, the ck Fortress stands like a sinister sentinel, its towering walls cloaked in shadows.


    Surrounding the fortress, an army of grotesque monsters prowls, their eyes glowing with malevolence in the dim light. The ground trembles beneath their weight as they pace back and forth, their growls echoing through the eerie silence of the destion.


    Barbed spikes protrude from the fortress walls, serving as a grim warning to any who dare approach. Amidst the darkness, the fortress exudes an aura of dread, a formidable stronghold guarded by the horrors that dwell within.


    "Huh!"


    "What''s this?"


    The mist started getting swayed and something pierced through it.


    The monster guarding the ck fortress stiffened when a ck trail of smoke moved towards them slowly and steadily.


    If looked from above, it appeared like a thick puddle of dark clouds wiggling its way towards them.


    The Orc guard named Sniar guarding walls squinted down and squeezed his eyes to look far off and the moment his eyes managed to glimpse the movements, his heart almost burst out in shock.


    "WHAT IS THIS?"


    Before he could mutter his next words…


    BOOOOM!


    Huge rock boulders crashed onto the walls with arge impact.


    High above the fortress, the sky was filled with the deafening roar of aerial beasts and griffins, their massive wings beating against the air as they circled menacingly.


    Suddenly, from their lofty vantage point, they unleash a barrage of gigantic rocks, hurtling downward with deadly uracy towards the fortress walls where the monstrous guardians, a mix of Orcs and hobgoblins, watched the shadow drawing closer in panic.


    The first rock crashes down with earth-shaking force, smashing into the midst of the startled monsters, and sending them sprawling in all directions. Orcs and hobgoblins alike cry out in terror as the massive projectiles rain down upon them, their screams mingling with the sound of splintering stone and crumbling earth.


    "Take cover!" one Orc bellows, his voice drowned out by the cacophony of destruction.


    "We''re under attack!" shouts another, panic evident in his tone as he scrambles for shelter.


    Amidst the chaos, fear grips the hearts of the monsters as they frantically seek refuge from the relentless assault. Some dive for cover behind crumbling walls, while others flee in blind panic, their primal instincts driving them to escape the wrath of the aerial beasts.


    "Alert themander!" yells a hobgoblin, his voice tinged with desperation as he struggles to make himself heard above the din.


    But their cries are lost in the chaos as the relentless barrage continues, each impact sending shockwaves of terror through the ranks of the monsters.


    With each crashing rock, their defenses crumble, and the once filled with numbers of monsters standing on the fortress are reduced to cowering in fear, their screams echoing through the night as they desperately cling to their rapidly diminishing sense of safety.


    When the monster from inside came out to survey the surroundings, they looked up and saw arge horde of dark beasts soaring into the sky carrying huge chunks of rocks which were released when they hovered on them.


    BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!


    "RING THE BELL!"


    "ATTACK! WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!"


    Screams of bewilderment and agony started ringing one after another as rocks reduced them to meat paste and their body exploded into pieces of meat under the assault of the gigantic rocks.


    The archer taking the aim, tried to deflect the blow but it was toorge.


    At that time, a few hobgoblins fired an arrow filled with an immense amount of power and struck the air.


    BOOM!


    The air crackled as the rocks burst into pieces under their assault.


    While new hobgoblin troops guarded the walls, others ran in disarray forming an empty patch.


    Soon, a dark mist rose over the walls and


    As the assault from above started to subside a horde of monstrous creatures stationed around the ck Fortress suddenly stiffened, their senses attuned to the approaching darkness.


    From the mist-shrouded horizon, a legion of spectral figures materializes, their forms flickering like shadows in the night.


    The Hobgoblins shooters, who were aiming, suddenly felt their backs tingling. Being snipers, they were quite perceptive to their surroundings, but before they could react a strong wave of metal attack resonated all around.


    "KHUMMM!"


    "GRMMMM!"


    "KAAAAAAHHH!"


    Holding their heads that seem to burst apart due to a splitting headache, all of them fall down to the ground.


    Blood streaked down from their lips and other orifice as they rolled like a beast howling in pain.


    Then, a shadow figure of a woman with a glintful smile materialized.


    Swaying her hips in delight, she walked through the fear ridden horde of enemies.The air stirred around her as arge wave of mind attack surged from her that crashed onto the mind of the enemy monster like waves of tides.


    The enemy fell down, soon found a trail of dark marks passing through the neck after which a fountain of blood sttered.


    Dark knives danced crazily, slitting their throat.The blood flowing down from the corpses coagted forming a huge mass then exploded with a rupture and shot out piercing the enemies.


    "AAAAHHH!"


    "ARGHHHH!"


    "GRRRRR!"


    "RUN!"


    For a moment except for the sound of screams, all other noises seemed to exist.


    It wasn''t a battle anymore but a one sided ughter.


    With fierce determination, the ghostly army advances, their dark figures seemingly gliding effortlessly over the terrain, leaving a sign of blood, death and destruction in their wake.


    The monsters on the fortress let out guttural roars of recognition, their primal instincts recognizing the threat of the approaching specters.


    Amidst the tension-filled air, the ghost army ughtering enemies suddenly halted their movements. Their faces became ted showing a radiant expression of awe and reverence as they felt the familiar presence.


    Without further ado, all of them kneeled down in the ground bowing their heads.


    The enemy monsters who were confused suddenly saw an immense threatening reing down from the faces of ghosts as if asking them to bow down.


    "What I..."


    Before they could finish their sentence, a sh wrapped in mes extended on the ground and the monster soon find their legs cut from the knees making them falls


    THUD!THUD!THUD!


    "KNEEEELL!"


    BOOOM!


    The ghost army went crazy seeing the monster standing and wreaking havoc cutting legs. Some even ganged up the huge Orcs and Ogre forcing their head to pin down onto the floor.


    Amidst, a figure gliding through thendnded on the ground with a loud crackling voice.


    BOOOM!


    The ground beneath him as his feet crashed on the ground.


    Then with a thud, a man with two bony wingsnded on the walls and his eyes filled with an eternal primordial darkness looked up at the staggering number of ghosts bowing their heads.


    "What a grand wee!"
