Chapter 410 War For Astor Kingdom XII
After killing the King and slaughtering all the male soldiers, Alros gaze at where the conscripts, Noble Armies, and adventurers flee to.
"It seem there are more prey for me. Though I should hunt them down to the last." he then let out 4 of his strongest clones, before giving them one order.
"Lead the other hordes, and destroy the defense line." the clones flew to each hordes, ready to reign terror and destroy the remaining defenses.
As he watched his forces flying to their respective target, he turned towards his elite forces and yelled, "This is just the beginning! After this, we will destroy the rest of the warriors of the Kingdom, and turned it into our Dominion!"
His roar was met with even louder roars of approval, as his Monsters prepared themselves for a massacre that they will partake in soon.
All while the captives and spoil of war were put inside the system space, where they could only wait until the demon finished his conquest before their dark fate would be revealed.

"Thank the gods we get out of there fast." Duke Carn exclaimed, wiping his brows of the sweat that formed.
He could see the Kingdom's armies would stand no chance, even with the help of his forces and so decided to flee, bringing with him his soldiers. Thanks to his quick retreat, he was able to safe most of his forces save for those that were killed before.
"What shall we do now, my Lord?" his champion and strongest warrior asked.
"I like to say we can remain at our territory but that is impossible. No doubt the demon will attack it soon. So, we will go to the territory and take all of our belonging before fleeing. We will bring as many people as possible as well." Duke Carn replied.
'I could also form a new nation here when the Hero arrive and kill the Demon.' he thought to himself, eager to claim the large piece of unclaimed land in the future.
"My, what a deliciously large group." However,a voice from the air caused him freeze, before slowly looking backward and upward.
There, flying with a devillish smile is the demon, looking at him and his group like they are just prey, which they undoubtedly are to him.
"Form up!" the Duke immediately ordered. Even a group of A-rank did not stand a chance against the demon. Then again, it's likely because of the large group of monsters that appear out of nowhere.
While his group was slightly fatigued, the demon likely tire himself out flying all over the place. Besides, he doubted they could escape the demon when he could fly, so, at the very least, they have better odds facing off against the demon.
The demon merely yawned before a portal, one he seen before appear. The Duke paled as a large monster appear, followed with smaller but still large monsters.
"Trolls and Ogres!" the one at the front yelled in terror. The Duke could not blame them. The Troll alone would be enough to destroy one-fifth of his forces. Combined with Ogres, all should be top of the B-ranks, it would not be a battle, especially when the demon jump in.
The Troll did not waste anytime as it swipe its club, sending almost a hundred man flying with a single attack. The Ogres followed suit as they charged towards his forces while casting spells, killing many while forcing his mage to take action.
Unfortunately for them, the demon did not stop just yet. Soon, more monsters appeared, though it was more of the generic kind such as Goblins and Orcs. However, they were enough to ensure his army would be destroyed.
Seeing that he will not escape death, the Duke sighed before he took out a vial of poison before drinking it, committing suicide. Seeing their lord killed himself, the soldiers bow towards the monsters, causing them to stop attacking.
The champion just sighed, before bowing as well.
"We surrender."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

At the fortress, the remaining soldiers were anxious as they looked at the large number of monsters outside the gate. With all of the regular soldiers heading towards the main city, it only left the conscripts in charge, along with some adventurers and two Noble Armies, though the later are absolute jerks.
The conscripts could only sigh as they continue their patrol, in case of an attack and to appear strong to the monsters.
As they patrol the walls, the worst case scenario happened.
"Monster attacks!" sure enough, a large number of monsters charged towards the fortress. Since the monsters outnumbered them with 8 to 1, defeat is likely, even with the defenses they prepared. Explore more at empire
"Prepare to battle!" the leader exclaimed, ready to fight to death if necessary.
As they are ready to defend the fortress, a messenger appeared, looking pale and distraught.
"Commander! The Noble Armies had fled!" the Commander soon has rhe same complexion as the messenger as he fell on his butt, on the chair.
"We are done for." he said before sighing.
"Tell the soldiers we are surrendering."

The clone watched as the soldiers threw their weapon to the ground before putting their palms on the ground, a sign of surrender. While taking the soldiers was not planned, he could improvise.
"Order the monsters to not harm them. In fact, give them some food and show them a good treatment." he might overstep his bound, but the clone truly think it is a good thing to do. After all, the loyal slaves of the original had turned into formidable elites that could trample armies.
Turning them into strong forces that will serve the original would be something as a clone should do.

Alros did not know what his clones were doing, but he was also gathering captives. Some of the conscripts he intercepted immediately surrendered, along with some Noble Armies.
Those that surrender will be granted mercy and keep their life, while those that refused will die. Simple as that.
Though, he do wonder what will happen if all the people surrender. After all, he will lost a lot of potential women to fuck.
"Well, I can always make some demands. Besides, I can always claim the virgins before letting them go." in the end, he decided to not go for the married women. After all, aside from the most beautiful, they did not just fit his taste.
For the beautiful widows though, he would make exceptions. As for the virgins, except for the most beautiful, he will likely let them free after claiming their first time. After all, he only want their LP, unless if they are beautiful enough.
