Summoning the Cold Rivalry

Chapter 54.2069: Distant past

Location: Southern Philade sea
Approximately 18,000 years ago

"Oh lord, they are coming!"

"Jump off the ship! Now!"

Elvens sailors desperately jump off their warship in order to escaped the demonic wyvern that dove down on them. Wooden body of the ship burst into flames as those fireballs from the wyvern impacted it. Sailors who were in the sea got picked off by wyvern with the creature biting them to pieces, among all other 130 ships on the sea from both the coalition and Elven kingdom, one stood above the rest. It the flagship, Qua-toyne Which would be given a name to the future generation's capital city and an entire country as a honour.

"Look at all this.. if it keep going like this, we will eventually be cornered at our own shores" Admiral Ejei spoke out.

"..We hadn't heard from our command for a day now, Admiral. Is it really alright for us to stand here and wait till help arrive?"

"You meant the emissaries? Heh, nice joke young man. I'm not even sure if they existed" He replied.

They look out at the battle infront, a massive demons army is marching through the sea like it a land. The fleet fired out hundred of explosive arrows at the enemy, it is the most effective method but one thing for sure is that their ammunition wasn't unlimited. After entire day of delaying the marching force of demon lord's army their supplies was inevitably depleted. Not to mention the wyvern in which they had no countermeasures against.

The coalition got nowhere to go and if Rodenius fell into demon lord's hand then it would be over for them all.

"Look! It the devil!" One sailor distressed.

Over the horizon appeared a large squid like creature and a dragon standing on it. The demon lord came to this battlefield himself..

"..There's nothing we can do"

"Send your prayer to the sun god! Please! Please.."

"Let her hear our prayer and send in the emissaries as fast as she can..!"

Everyone on board started to lose hope in this grim darkness of reality. For once, every races banded together to faced a common enemy. Every life began to prayed, they prayed to the last second and even with wyvern diving down on them, they didn't cared anymore. All they hoped was to survived and lived on. Just like that, almost as if the god had heard their prayers. Demonic beast infront of them burst into flame of fury, their wyvern dropped into the sea.

"Wha-?" Ejei flabbergasted.

"Look! From the direction of the coast!"

Everybody turned their attention toward that general direction. A fleet of iron ship is just over there in the distant, they were surprised and filled with hope.

"That flag.. red circle..? Don't tell me-!"

"It the emissaries!! They are here!"

"We're gonna make it!"

The crews celebrated, happy with the fact that their prayers was heard. Loud explosion echoed throughout the sea as the battleship fired it's gun, the shell found it's mark on the marching demonic army and completely decimated their ranks.

"Such destructive power! They are really the emissaries!"

A6M Zero fighters flew over their fleet in a glorious sight. It outclassed every demonic wyverns in the vicinity with the machine gun shredding wyvern flesh like it is nothing. Just like that, the demon army started retreating. Something they never thought to witnessed since the battle of Philade. The fleet wasn't in the good condition either so they went back to Rodenius to rethink their strategy.
