[Current location: Holy empire – Capital city]

"Hey, what do you think his holiness plans to announce?"

"Maybe it is regarding the incident regarding goodness Akima?"

"No. I think it maybe related to the fact that the second church linked to the holy mother has been destroyed."

"SILENCE!" – shouted a loud voice, instantly silencing the whole crown of people that had gathered at the plaza in front of the holy castle.

"The holy emperor shall now make his announcement!" – said the paladin as he moved away from the magic device, before moments later an tall middle aged male man with silver beard and very muscular build approached the magic device, before moments later activating it and causing several floating screens to appear, showing the image of the man.

[Emperor and pope of the holy empire – Ruler of the Everlast Empire – Deus Kielich]

"My citizens." – said the holy emperor as his voice echoed through the entire capital city.

"My subjects."

"Fallowers of justice and holiness."

"The reason for my announcement is simple."

"Our empire has finally recovered its strength, allowing us to once stand up on our two feet."

"We had exterminated every single fallower of the demons and other unholy beings from our lands, bringing the peace to our lands."

"…"

"But unfortunately, this peace that we had once managed to recover will be soon destroyed once again."

"You may had heard about our lose to the vampires and their slaves."

"You may had heard about the church of wind and adventure getting destroyed alongside the wind dragon tribe."

"You may had heard about those who defy the heavens and hell themselves."

"They call themselves Pilaf."

"They are organization of the terrorist that are brining nothing more than destruction and chaos to the world, hunting down those who even dare to pray for the gods."

"They are not even fallowers of the demons or those who bring fourth the parasites from the other world."

"No."

"They are people consumed by madness, greed and pride."

"They are just pure monsters that wishes to destroy our entire world."

"And right now these monsters wishes to destroy our empire!"

"The dragon clans that fallow them!"

"Fire, earth, water, darkness, light and nature dragon clans plans to attack our empire!"

"And with them, the vampires!"

"They seek to destroy us!"

"They seek to destroy our faith!"

"They seek to destroy everything we had built for!"

"They wish to bury our history!"

"But will we let them?!"

"NO!"

"Will we allow them on trample on us?!"

"NO!"

"Will we allow them kill our young?!"

"NO!"

"They will archive nothing!"

"They wishes to destroy us?! They wishes to fill us with despair!?"

"HA!"

"Let them try!"

"These monsters and their fallowers will be the only ones who would meet their end!"

"We are justice!"

"We are future!"

"And we are blessed by the heavens themselves!"

"If those heretics think that they can invade our lands and be victories, then let them come!"

"And let the heavens themselves judge them!" – shouted the pope emperor, before moments later the entire skies around the holy castle was enveloped in the light.

Cheers and screams of the people could be heard through the whole city.

"The day of judgment for these monsters has come!"

"And all of them are welcome to try and take on the judgment of heavens."

And like that, the war was declared.

The holy emperor who had found out about the dragon clans as well as the vampire plan to attack the holy empire had declared war on both of them, before then starting up his preparation for the war.

At this point the war will happened to matter what and nobody will be able to stop them.

As for who would join the war between the holy empire and vampire-dragon alliance? It is still unknown.

Some gods of hell may decided to try and join the war.

Some gods of heavens may decide to lent their strength to the mother of light.

Or maybe spirit may decide to take some actions and reveal what they were preparing?

This is all unknown.

What is only known is this.

One side will face a total annihilation.

This will be the only outcome accepted by either side.

…

And like that, the days passed by quickly.

[Current location: Holy empire – Port city – night time]

"Report." – said the man with eye patch.

"Still nothing sir." – replied a marine.

"There was still not a single unusual activities on the sea, not there was anything going on with sea monsters."

"By the looks of things, they are not coming here today either."

"Hm….. That doesn't matter. Keep up the watch." – said the man with the eye patch.

"Yes sir." – replied marine.

"…"

"Em…. With all due respect…. Shouldn't we sent one of our scouts ships if we want to keep the watch over the sea?"

"With the god of deep sea forces gone, we have now far easier way traveling back on fourth on the ocean."

"And so does our enemies you stupid idiot." – replied the man with eye patch.

"If anything, the seas are still our enemies."

"The traitorous merfolk and water dragon tribe are probably working together."

"With their help, any form of battle on the seas would be like entering the jaws of the monsters."

"That is why our ships are stationing right next to the ports as well."

"Fighting in the open seas would be a straight up death sentence."

(Not only that, we would also be a sitting ducks for them.)

(The vampire weapons known as "planes" can not only fly around very fast through the skies, but they can also fire long range attacks using their guns.)

(The only way we could possible even try and get them would be the use of angels or the gryphon riders.)

(However, the dragon clans may use this chance to launch their own attacks against us from below.)

(We need to somehow keep the enemy attention split or-)

"SIR! EMERGENCY!" - shouted the soldier as he rushed into the captain cabin.

"The enemy ships has been spotted!"

"!"

"All hands on the deck! Sound the alarm!" – shouted the captain, before moments later every single ship sounded the alarm, causing the entire city to prepare itself for the combat.

"How is the situation?" – asked the captain with eyepatch as he got on top of the ship deck.

"Several ships…. We can't exactly tell yet if they are either dragon or vampire ships…" – said the man with the telescope.

"What about the skies?"

"Already on it!" – said the gryphon rider before then taking off to the skies alongside his beast.

"Keep your watch! The enemy may not only come from the above and from front, but they also may very well came from below!" – shouted the captain.

"I want every single one of you keep watch!"

"You! Order our ships to prepare to move out!"

"If the enemy posses a long range cannons like before, then we maybe be forced to move out ships closer to them!"

"You! Priest! If the red signal comes, don't wait for my order! Order all flying angels, gryphon rider and anything else we have that can fly to deal with the flying machines!"

"Hey! What about the barrier!? Is it good to go?!"

"Yes sir! It maybe not as powerful as Great Barrier, but it should allow us to take few hit safely." – replied the mage who was tinkering with a giant glowing stone.

"Good! Make sure that every single one of them are fully charged and ready to be activated at any moment!" – said the captain as he took a telescope from one of the soldiers.

"…"

(Even though there are quiet amount of ships, I don't believe this is their entire force.)

(No.)

(They may be hiding underwater.)

(Water dragon maybe hiding underwater in order to try and avoid our detection.)

(There is also a chance that there are some other ships hiding behind-)

"!"

(Red flair?! Already? They really got that close to us from above?) – thought the captain as he saw a red flare going up, before moments later every single one of the flying units take off to the skies.

"Okay men! This is fight to the last! Use every bit of ammo we have!"

"Don't care about wasting ammo, just everything!"

"Sir! The enemy is finally in sight!" – shouted the soldier with telescope.

"Can you tell now a properly what we are dealing with?" – asked captain.

"…"

"Hey! Answer me!"

"Em….. Sir…. We don't see…. There is not a single dragon ship there." – said confused soldier with telescope.

"What?" – asked confused captain as he used his own telescope once again.

"…"

(He is right! There is not a single ship that is used by the dragon tribes?!)

(So does that mean that the vampires are attacking us on their own?)

"…."

(Do they really believe that they can take us on, all by themselves?)

"…"

(No…. Something is off…. Something feels way too off!)

(But what?!)

(I can tell that they are planning something, but what exactly?!)

(Why would vampires come here alone without any assistance from the dragon clans?!)
