A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 352 The Battle For Starfall

The Avalon soldiers saw the dwarves setting up mana cannons which popped out of nowhere.

Once they were set up the dwarves jumped on them and waited for the order. That's when Mohamet shouted. ''Fire!''

The Mana Cannons began to hum with energy, their magical conduits glowing with an ethereal light.

Arcane runes etched on the barrels came to life, and a brilliant, shimmering aura enveloped the cannons.

With a resounding boom, the first cannon fired, sending a searing beam of concentrated mana hurtling into the horde.

It struck with devastating force, carving a path of destruction through the enemy ranks.

Creatures were incinerated in its wake, their wails and screeches echoing across the battlefield.

The cannons kept firing into the swarm before they could get any closer to the weapons to be useless.

When the Avalonians saw this they ordered their own weapons and mages to launch an attack.

With a deafening chorus of incantations, the magic cannons fired in unison. Arcane energy surged through the air, and hundreds of beams, radiant and shimmering, soared into the sky before descending upon the horde.

The sight was nothing short of spectacular.? The swarm was caught in the crossfire, reeled from the onslaught.

Creatures were disintegrated in blinding flashes of light, and the ground quaked as explosions rocked their ranks.

But they were relentless, and it pressed on despite the devastating barrage. The Avalonians knew they could not rely on magic alone.

As the cannons continued to fire, the city's defenders rallied to the walls, bows, and swords at the ready.

The girls were waiting for the swarm to arrive as Ella switched to mana arrows, Nefertiti was causing chaos with her Arcane magic.

Hemera saw the sun was high in the sky and started casting her sun magic that dropped searing hot beams of light onto the horde.

Thunder and flames washed over the creatures thanks to Leira's good magic control, but all their attacks didn't slow down the swarm's march.

Halime was casting poison spells that she launched over the soldiers lines that melted Ratlings and Rat Ogres to nothing.

Talila went to join the other girls at the front thanks to her short swords. When Teuila, Sia, Hecate, Sera, and Talila saw the sheer amount of creatures they got worried.

But before the swarm arrived the city gates opened and soldiers swathed in silver armor from head to toe marched out led by the first prince of the empire Vylan Avalon.

Leira saw her brother and rushed over to him followed by Ella. When the prince saw them his eyes narrowed as he spoke. ''Sister. What are you doing here with a bunch of random girls?''

The cat girl's eyes narrowed as she issued a stern warning. "Do not insult or attempt anything with any of them, unless you wish to invite trouble upon yourself."

Vylan's eyes narrowed and spoke in an angry tone. ''Why can't I talk about some girls you've made friends with?''

That's when Thorin and Marion appeared and explained it to the arrogant prince who hadn't been up to date with the news.

Marion spoke first. ''Prince Vylan I would be careful with the words you use next. The white prince isn't known for his restraint and will kill you even if you are the prince.''

Vylan's offense was interrupted as spells crashed into the city walls, throwing everything into chaos.

Thorin swiftly clarified, "Your father has essentially given Archer the go-ahead to do as he pleases, as long as it doesn't harm or oppose the interests of the empire."

He pointed toward the ongoing battles: wyverns and a red dragon in combat, dwarves and dragon-kin standing together, and nearby, the imposing earth dragons keeping watch.

''They all are your brother-in-law's underlings and only listen to him or his girls. So behave yourself or you will have an angry dragon hunting you down.'' Thorin commented before going to talk to the girls.

When they saw Archer's uncle scaring the prince they all laughed including Leira. But they soon got back on track as the prince's soldiers lined up with the dragon-kin.

Mohemat shouted out. ''Berserkers! You're up.''

Seven-foot-tall dragon-kin warriors made their way over to the four girls fighting ahead of the frontline.

When the group arrived they spoke to Teuila. ''Your Majesty. We are here to help you. The king will be mad if you girls get hurt.''

Teuila nodded and got back to fighting as the swarm slammed into the dragon-kin and Avalonian's lines.

Amidst the chaotic battlefield, Teuila and Sia fought with a synchronized ferocity that left a trail of Ratlings, Blightborns, and Rat Ogres in their wake.

Their swords gleamed with deadly intent as they carved through the relentless horde. Teuila, her muscles taut and movements precise wielded her sword with a dancer's grace.

With each swing, she struck down Ratlings with precision. Her blade moved like an extension of herself, a deadly whirlwind that left no room for her foes to counter.

Sia, her eyes ablaze with fiery magic, conjured flames that engulfed groups of Ratlings. The searing infernos consumed her adversaries, reducing them to smoldering ashes.

Her control over the destructive power was tireless, and she sent waves of fire rippling through the enemy ranks.

Hecate thrust and spun with deadly accuracy. Her attacks pierced the hearts of Rat Ogres, sending them crashing to the ground.

Her spearwork was a masterful display of skill and strength, and she advanced through the battlefield like a whirlwind of death.

Talila, agile and nimble, weaved through the chaos with her short swords.

She darted in and out of combat, her blades flashing as she struck down Blightborns with lightning-fast slashes.

Her acrobatic maneuvers allowed her to evade attacks effortlessly, and her enemies fell before her like leaves in a storm.

Together, they formed an unstoppable team, and their synergy was on full display.

With seamless communication, they covered each other's blind spots and moved with the precision of a well-oiled machine.

Their enemies stood no chance against their combined might. But that was when the earth dragons got involved and stampeded through the swarm.

They crushed Ratlings, Rat Ogres, and Blightborns underfoot. Hours of fighting drove the swarm from the city.

The girls ordered the dragon-kin, archers, dwarves, wyverns, and earth dragons to return to the domain.

General Mohemat approached Ella and bowed before speaking. ''We have no deaths thanks to the dragon priests healing the soldiers but we need the king to heal a large group whose limbs have been damaged beyond repair or cut off.''

Ella nodded with a smile before Mohemat returned to the domain alongside everyone else. Prince Vylan's approach.

When he got closer Sera appeared and growled at him. All the girls gathered around her before Leira walked over to him and spoke. ''What is it, brother?''

Vylan looked around before answering. ''What was that portal? And why does your fiancee have such an army?''

Leira looked at him like he was an idiot before asking. ''Have you not heard the news yet?''

He nodded. ''Yes that you have a fiancee who is called the white prince.''

When Leira heard this she shook her head before talking. ''Well remember when Grandmother told us the stories of the old dragon king?''

Vylan nodded with a smile as memories came back to him. Leira continued. ''And what race was that dragon king?''

He thought for a second be reply. ''He was a white dragon! The rarest species of dragon.''

The girls started laughing causing Leira to laugh, she tried to hide it but her brother saw and commented. ''What is it, sister?''

Leira stopped laughing and answered with a smile. ''Now you know why my fiancee is called the white prince.''

Vylan's eyes widened with realization as the group headed through the open gates. Soldiers were getting treated.

As they stepped through the entrance the ringing of a bell could be heard. But soon they saw a violet beam shooting into the air.

The spell canceled out the bell chimes causing everyone to look up, that's when Ophelia Blackfire appeared and kept casting her magic into the sky.

When she was done doing that a protective dome covered the city as she descended to the street where the girls were.

She looked at them with a smile as she commented. ''Had to stop the bells before they brought bad weather that would make the battle a lot worse.

Everyone nodded before Ophelia vanished from the spot. Vylan turned to Leira and asked. ''Are you coming back to the palace?''

She looked at the other girls who shrugged before walking to the Elysian Elevator. Leira was talking to the group.

Vylan tried to talk to Halime and Nefertiti but Sera got in the way and growled at him causing him to step back in shock. ''I mean no harm. I'm just being polite.''

Sera watched him and replied. ''Don't be polite to my sister wives.''
