183 All Out War Part Four (1/2)
Beast Kingdom…. One week ago...
Tall trees and jungle overgrowth covered the lands. A young girl with white cat ears sticking out of the top of her head and a white tail with black stripes protruded out at the bottom of her lower back. She stood in front of a similar featured but larger and more well bit middle aged man with her cheeks puffed out. The look on her face would be considered cute if it was not for the furrowed brow.
”Father, why are you attacking Alastine?” The young girl asked. Her voice filled with anger.
”Why? Why not? Alastine has no idea what they are sitting on top of! Half of their lands hold one of the richest minerals in all of Phantasia! Plus we are not the only ones who will be attacking. We got news back from the Empire, after putting a little pressure on them, in return for retrieving the demonic plagues as they seem to be called in the outside world, they will send their imperial army to attack Alastine as well. ” The middle aged man replied.
”Father are you… You have gone crazy! I will not stand this any longer!” The young girl shouted out before turning and running out of the room.
The middle aged man helplessly looked at the young girl running away and sighed. ”Follow her!”
”Yes, your Beastliness!” A young man with black cat ears and tail appeared from the shadows and chased after the young girl.
”Sola, in due time you will understand that your father is doing this for this kingdom. So we can survive far, far into the future.” Sitting down at his desk, the middle aged man pulled out an ancient looking scroll that had some strange designs on it. He could only hope that one day he will be able to understand the strange language on this scroll.

The Kingdom of Alastine… Present time…
Forty five minutes had passed and Alicia was in tatters. The onslaught of wave after wave of Demonic Plagues would not stop. It felt that the more they killed the more that would attack. The number of Knights and Soldiers they had available was now down to less than five hundred. The fifteen minute rotation would provide much needed rest but it was just not enough. Just fifteen minutes fighting demonic plagues was enough to make one feel like they had been fighting for days on end.
This was due to how fast the demonic plagues were. Everyone had to push their body's speed to the limit just to keep up. Those who failed to do so would either end up dead or severely injured. The death toll for Alicia's side already rose to six hundred out of two thousand. The most casualties happened after the half hour mark.
