Arthur and Luna were set to unite the Orcs today. They were almost at the gate when Luna asked a question

"So why are you so confident that you will be able to convince them to join us?" She asked

"Well I'm not totally confident, but I have a former teacher there who might have a voice in the Orc nation." Replied Arthur

"I see, and how long will it take us to get others there and convince them? It's been 4 weeks since we left the Demon Realm so they should be moving soon."

"Yeah, I've realized that as well, we should try to get there and convince them all within the next week or so."

"That's quite the challenge."

"Yeah," Arthur finished the conversation as they arrived at the gate. They had a long journey ahead of them if they wanted to complete all they set out for.

Arthur and Luna arrived at the Orc capital which looked the same as when Arthur was last here, with a wooden palisade with huts situated inside the palisade. They just walked in since there wasn't any guard on duty. Arthur instantly went on high alert when he realized this "Keep your guard up" he said to Luna which she acknowledged with a nod. Slowly creeping through the city, a familiar scent hit Arthurs's noise. Blood. His fears have become a reality it seems, everyone here was already dead. Which meant the Demon Kings Forces already passed through here.

Arthur ran toward his former mentor's home hoping he would still be alive against all odds. He was sourly mistaken, finding his teacher's body on the floor coated with dark mana. Arthur was furious, stomping out of the hut he went in search of where the Demon Army was going to strike next. All the bodies they found were at least a day old, which meant they couldn't have gone far.

Tracking down the steps that were left behind, he figured out they were heading toward the Elf kingdom. He had to somehow warn the Human King and tell him to gather his forces there before the Demon King got to the Elves. They'll wipe out the Elfs if they don't hurry and that would mean the end of everyone.

"Luna use your teleport ability to get back to the Human Continent to warn the King and tell him to bring all his forces toward the Elf Kingdom or we lose this war."

"Of course, I'll get going this instant." She then zipped out of sight. Arthur could only hope that she was fast enough, he decided that he'd trail the army and strike from behind when the attack on the Elf Continent happens, maybe even kill an important figure or two before they even realize he was even there. So he set off following the large amount of footsteps that led up towards the Elf Kingdom.

Using his 'Gift of Speed' he caught up to the large army within a day. He tried estimating how large the army was again and realized he was correct in his assumption of their numbers. Now he hoped that Luna would get back in time since they were only 2 days away from the Elf Continent. He searched the army for any leading figures. That's when he saw them. The King, The Queen, and his two generals were leading the army from the front.

The Human King and Arthur already discussed who would be fighting whom. Arthur would go against the Demon King, Luna would go against the Queen, and the First Knight and King would go for a general each. All this was making Arthur's head hurt but he pushed through such trivial things. Now he just had to keep trailing for as long as possible without getting spotted.

"King, me, and Arthur were at the Orc continent when we saw that the whole race has been wiped, the Demon Army is currently traveling towards the Elf Continent. We must send all our troops there immediately or we lose this war."

"I see, so we shall." The King shouted something at one of his guards who went running off and a few hours later the whole army was at the gate ready to depart toward the Elf Continent. The Army was 80,000 soldiers with 10,000 civilians that volunteered to fight alongside them. They could only hope that they made up in power. "We will now travel towards our allies and defeat this threat once and for all!" The King shouted towards his army. "We will not be defeated by these demons! We will stand victorious!" He finished his speech and started walking toward their destination.

Luna was right beside the King with his First Knight and single war general. They were all at the same power level as the Demon Queen which she hoped was a good sign that they had more power in a single soldier than they had.

Arthur was getting nervous. They've been traveling for 2 days and the Elf continent's borders have come into view. 'Where is that damn army!?' he thought to himself. He thought that even if they didn't make it on time he would still need to fight with the Elfs for the best chance of winning this war. Since the Elfs have more than 100,000 men ready for war. He was hiding behind a tree when the Demon Army made it outside the Elf Capital. Arthur could hear the Demons chanting something in the native tongue but he couldn't see the Elf's army anywhere.

Arthur guessed that they were waiting inside the Capital to launch a surprise attack on the confident army of the Demon King. He could only hope that the Human Continents forces would be here in the next hour or this would turn ugly fast.
