The group all gather in the conference room, ready for a serious conversation.

“They’re on their way, a huge mass of them, an army, led by what I think is one of the demons' generals. They will be here within a day.”.

“How long until they arrive!”, Mary asks seriously.

“We were a few days ahead of them. They will be here within 2 days max.”, Tia states.

“And who are these guys by the way?”, Luke asks?

“They’re survivors from the capital that we met. It would appear... that the demons have already rampaged through the human plains. There's a good chance that there are very little survivors remaining.”, Claire said heart brokenly.

“I’ve got a question... you said that there should be 4 generals under the demon Bheldird that took over the capital, yet only one is supposedly heading here. What about the others?”. Ray asks seriously.

“We’re not sure, but I think we’re thinking the same thing. That the others, are headed towards the Elves and Dwarves. These demons new plan, after toying with the Humans, setting them on the Demi-Humans and breaking their relations, is too new exterminate all living life.”, Claire said seriously.

“Damn it, we were foolish to think nothing would happen in these six months. Before we could even unite, the demons have made their move again. They are always one step ahead of us.”, Mary says, hands in her head, slowly panicking.

“If they are not far away now, we need to inform our forces, if there's an army of them, even with skilled warriors already here, we’d be outnumbered, some would easily slip past and rampage through the village. We need lines of defence, warriors outside the forest to stop the demons from getting in and a line of defence on the inside just in case.”, Luke states, getting into action.

“How many active personals do we have ready to fight?”, Arthur asks.

“In total there's probably 700, but ones strong enough to fight demons? Probably not many.”, Regi admits

“we don’t need many, Me, Ray, Tia, Lilly and Alex will be able t handle the majority alone. The problem is the demon general, if we’re focusing on him, the biggest threat. Then that's a problem.”, Claire states.

“I won’t be able to reach Ken and his army. But I can reach Ceasar and his, they should be a great help.”.

“Aright, we need to get into action. This is a serious life or death situation, Ray, contact your friends, Luke, gather the troops, I’m going to send letters to the Elves and Dwarves, hopefully they survive this surprise attack, and we can meet after these battles. To finally kick this demon out.”, Mary says.

And so, the day after this was hectic, now that the demons were on the move, Mary had decided not to inform the mass public on the existence of demons until after the battle, to show the people that there is nothing to worry about. Ray had made his way into the jungle and had told Ceasar the situation, which he eagerly agreed to helping.

“Besides, this situation affects all life, they won’t just harm you but us as well, even if I didn’t want to help you, I would have to fight to protect my clan and home.”.

Luke and Regi also visited their army and informed them on the situation. Telling them that they must not inform others just yet and to prepare for a battle.

And finally, an army of 200 beast men along with Ray, Lilly, Claire, Tia. Stood on the outside of the hidden beast tribe, waiting for the battle to begin. Inside of the city, a further 100 men, along with Regi, Luke and Arthur stationed themselves, far from the city, but not yet in the jungle.

As the group outside waited, Ceasar, dressed in another set of his samurai battle armour and 50 of his men, all clad in silver armour exited the Jungle.

“I have left 50 of my men close by in the jungle waiting with your vampire friend, just in case any of them get past us.”, Ceasar informs Ray.

“Perfect, now, we sit and wait for them to appear”, Ray says.

“... by the way... where do you guys find all this equipment?”, Ray asks curiously.

“...Trade secret.”, Ceasar say.

“I see...”, Ray says.

And so, the group wait and wait for the demons to be seen over the horizon. And after hours of waiting, the setting sun in the distance, a swarm of black figures appear, still a distance away, rampaging towards them.

“Alright guys, this is them, they will be here soon, so shake of any nerves you may have and get ready for war.”, Claire says seriously.

“Y-YES CAPTAIN!”, the soldiers howl.

The soldiers, who were previously slightly hostile to Claire due to her being a Human, see the swarm of demons, and all of that disappears. They hadn’t entirely believed that the demons existed and the things they had been told about the humans, but seeing the rampaging stampeded of darkness, they couldn’t not believe.

“It's about to start, are you Ready.”, Ray asks Lill, hand on her shoulder.

“I won’t lie and say I’m not nervous. But I know we can win.”, Lilly says determinedly.

“Right, we will win. You guys okay with your positions?”, Claire says walking over.

“Everyone else deal with the swarm of demons, Me and Ray will battle the general. Once all the demons are down, you guys will come and assist us if we are not finished however, if we think that he is too powerful, we will tell you to run.”, Claire says seriously.

“Right,”, Tia and Lilly say.

“If we’re struggling and it goes on into the night the better, because that means Alex will also be an option.”, Ray states.

Alex sits on a branch near the edge of the jungle, hidden by the shadows. His hair, down a serious look on his face.
