5 Prelude

The sun has just risen on the horizon.

*neighhh!*

In the vast open world, five running horses is currently moving fast towards Grand Kaliweir. *tak!* *tak!* *tak!*, the sound of the horses' hooves echoes the grassland. Riding on them, is one of the top mercenary team in the capital, the Blood Lion.

They were residing on a nearby city after a mission, but after receiving an urgent message from Grand Kaliweir, their leader decided to rush there.

This group composes of a Priest, a Warrior, a half-beastman Monk, an elf Druid and their Mercenary class leader.

"Hey Barlow, why are we in a rush?" Frazier, the warrior of the group asked in a bad mood. They just completed a tiring mission and were supposed to take a break.

"According to the latest message from Grand Kaliweir, the war will start tomorrow." Their leader then started conveying them the intelligence reports he had receive an hour ago.

*khhc* "Fighting the demon lord's army will be more amusing than hunting a group of stupid ghouls." Goulde smiled excitedly, revealing his sharp fangs.

"Frazier, this war will further increase our status you know. Aren't you courting a noble lady back in the capital?" the druid Reese, tries to encourage his friend.

*tch* "We are facing a demon lord, we might really die this time." For some reason, Frazier felt something wrong about this mission.

"It's going to be fine, Luke is here. As long as your head won't explode to pieces, he can heal you back to normal... Hahaha." assured the carefree druid.

"With this speed, we can arrived there at dawn... Hiaaa!"

Grand Kaliweir, it is already the night before the war. All the hired mercenaries and city militaries are now gathered near the city wall. Moments later a very large groups of mages appear, causing the crowds to start talking with their comrades.

"Look!.. About a thousand of them are wearing green robes."

"There are even twenty of them wearing silver robes!"

"This is city is really the gathering place of genius mages!"

A Captain of a squad went up to the wooden platform and started addressing the audience, "Everyone, on behalf of the city lord, we are thankful to you for rushing here to join this war. There were some of you requiring some more time to fully prepare for the war, but the demon lord suddenly declared that he will be attacking this city tomorrow. Don't worry, as a compensation for this sudden event, we will be doubling up our agreed payment."

At this moment, a silver robe man also went up the wooden platform.

"Look that's the genius son of the city lord!.."

"He is still on his thirties, but he's already a silver-rank mage"

"Hey, who is that long bearded old man following behind him?"

"Everyone, I am sure that most of you knows the strength of the [Demon Lord], their magic reaches the Tier 5." After hearing this, some mercenaries started to worry a little. Their mission were to fight the demon underlings and while the demon lords are prideful beings, who wouldn't care about small fries like them, but the chances of being struck by one of the demon lord's astray magic is likely to happen in a heavily crowded battlefield. They can only blame themselves for being unlucky if this happen.

The young viscount started to talk again once everyone calms down, "The capital's reinforcement are on their way and the one leading them, is the third Prince who can also use Tier 5 spells."

After hearing this news, everyone below started to cheer. "Uohhh!!.. the hero is coming to fight with us!" The warriors' morale suddenly soar. "Right, so we just need to resist the enemies until he comes."

"Everyone, there is one more good news, this respected lord behind me is a wandering mage who has reached the level of golden-rank. This lord also accepted me as his first student and will be joining us in this war."

"Another golden-rank!.. delaying this fight will now be easier." everyone's fighting spirit grows stronger, as they felt more confident.

"Once the hero prince catches up and join forces with this lord, that demon lord bastard will surely die!"

*sigh*, "We will definitely witness a mythical battle tomorrow."
