Nine Tailed System 171 Third World War

A messenger reached the King of Grangold.

Messenger: My liege, the enemy mass has approached the target point!

Grangold King: Alright… Forward guard, advance! Archer corps, prepare to fire!

Queen Ant: First Ant Corps to the left wing. Second Ant Corps to the right! Draw the enemy into the planned salient, and then crush them in a pincer!

As the opening battle is moments away, the soldiers began their planned movements. Against the fully prepared defenders, the attacking Chimeras are charging headlong down the center…

Grangold King: Let them get closer… Now, deploy the Golem in the center! Magic Corps, provide support!

Queen Ant: They've charged into the salient! Ant Corps, advance and pincer the enemy!

In front of their eyes, the fierce battle started as the two forces clashed.

The human soldiers held a defensive line, with their spears pointed at the charging Chimeras. As the Chimeras slam into the wall of spears, their powerful charge is cut short.

From over their head, magic arrows fell like rain on them.

As the charge is halted, the giant Golem steps forth, raging and pounding the massed Chimeras.

Without turning away, the Grangold King calmly watches the scene unfold before him.

Grangold King: ...We will accomplish our duty. So please, Marco, we're counting on you…

[Harpy Village]

Lucretia was flying in the sky, observing the incoming army.

Lucretia: They're arriving… Our preparations are ready, correct? Remember, there is no approaching the enemy.

Harpy 1: Yes, my Queen!

Archer: Once the front line becomes at risk, we shall fall back to the secondary line!

Lucretia: ...Then prepare the volley, Archers!

Archer: Fire, fire!

Boy: Eat our arrows!

The villagers, all armed with bows, shot in unison at the charging horde. As quickly trained amateurs, the arrows flew in every direction, with poor aim…

Lucretia: Now, Harpy Corps! Direct the hail with our wind!

Harpy 1: Everyone, let's go!

The harpies flapped their wings around the swarm of arrows, creating a vortex of air. Directed by the wind, the swarm of arrows all increase in speed and funnel towards the charging mass.

Lucretia: Second team, volley!

Soldier: Bring more arrows, we'll pincushion them!

Girl: I can fight with this, too!

More arrows are shot into the vortex of wind, riding it directly into the enemy. But one of the Chimeric Beasts, able to avoid the arrows, charged into the line of archers.

Villager: Hya!

Lucretia glided down and attacked with a sharp blade of wind.

Lucretia: ...Hah!

However, the swarm of beasts is nearly at the front line…

Lucretia: Field Force, step forward! Protect the archers!

Harpy Warrior: Understood… Charge!

The armored harpies skilled at melee combat swooped down from the sky, wielding spears, they pierce into the charging lines, each as powerful and as fast as a ballista shot.

Lucretia: More of them approach, continue firing!

Harpy 1: Yes!

The mixed army of Harpies and human Villagers clashed with the Heavenly army, under Lucretia's command.

[Succubus Village]

The former prostitute, now Succubus, was fighting against an Angel Soldier.

Maccubus: Don't underestimate a prostitute's training from bar fights! Haa!

Angel Soldier: Kya!

A slap filled with all of her power slammed into the Angel Soldier's cheek. In another area, a Lencubus was fighting against another Angel Soldier.

Lencubus: I sucked a lot of power in preparation for this battle… My magical power is at maximum!

The assaulting angel army rushed into the town, defended by succubi brimming with energy. Having sucked up extreme amounts of energy from the male volunteers the night before, they are flowing with magic power… Are we sure they are succubi and not saiyans?

Witch Succubus: There are huge numbers, but not as many as last time… And these once invulnerable angels seem to be quite poor at actual hand to hand combat!

Angel Soldier 1: Wh… What the…? I… Is this blood? From me…?

Angel Soldier 2: D...Dirty… M...My white clothes got mud on them!?

Many angels stood stunned on the battlefield, stupefied by their first experience of actually being attacked in their once incorporeal forms. Most of them are experiencing "Pain" for the very first time.

The chief of the village, Succubus, yelled.

Succubus: Everyone, keep going! We must defend this paradise of ours with our own hands!

Under the directions of the chief, the battle continues on. The Succubi defend their precious village, one they can finally call their own… Home.

[Yamatai Village]

Shirohebi was watching from a tall building, and cried out.

Shirohebi: They've come… Everyone, spring the ambush!

Gob, on her oni form, and the Nekomata yelled.

Gob: Here I come!

Nekomata: Nyaa!

The Yamatai Village were allied with the nearby Elf Village, so they were there too.

Samurai Elf: Now, go! Get them, sisters!

Kunoichi Elf: We shall uphold the promise of our ancestors!

The Yamatai monsters defenders sprung from their hiding places, assaulting the invading Chimeras from the rear.

Angel Soldier: S...Stop that! Don't lick me there!

An Angel Soldier was being licked everywhere from the Akanames, the same one that were flung away from Marco's charge…

Akaname A knockout from our licking attack!

In the midst of the assault, a young boy was pushed down from the Chimeric Beasts...

Boy: Stop! Uwaa!

But…

Yamata no Orochi: You beasts! What are you doing to the people of my village!?

The Yamata no Orochi was free once again, and now defending the village. She crushed the beast with a single blow.

Boy: Y… Yamata no Orochi! Thank you so much!

Yamata no Orochi: Haha… Thank me with your body, instead. Come to my cave after this is over with…

Shirohebi: Don't play around, Orochi. Don't make me sorry I unsealed you…

Yamata no Orochi: ...Hmph, I won't disappoint you. You young ones should just sit there and watch me destroy them…

Another powerful blow of hers knocked away more Chimeric Beasts. But more come to fill in their seemingly endless ranks…

Shirohebi: I'll never let there be another sacrifice in this village again! Everyone, hold strong!

Samurai Elf: Understood!

The army of the Heavens crashed into Yamatai Village from the front. The peaceful village of the east quickly turned into another battlefield…

[Port Natalia]

Meia and many other mermaids were on guard.

Meia: Everyone… Attack with the Water Hammer!

Mermaid 1: Hya!

Standing on a line, the Mermaids threw hammers of water at the invading Chimeras. The salvos of water slammed deep holes into the invaders, dealing terrible damage.

Angel Soldier: Don't flinch! Advance! Any who retreats will suffer Ilias' wrath!

But the huge numbers of enemies can't be held back forever…

Angel Soldier: Be crushed, you dirty mermaids!

Meia: Kya!

As one of the Angel Soldiers was about to cut Meia… A powerful pearl white tentacle slammed into the angel, tossing her aside.

Kraken: I was a little late… the Queen of the Southern Seas has come to lend her assistance.

Meia: Thank you for helping us, Queen Kraken…

Kraken: And… I'm not the only reinforcement, it seems. Has your attitude changed, Mermaid Queen?

The Kraken's gaze fell on another arrival, and Meia followed her sight before her eyes widened in surprise…

Queen Mermaid: …

There she was, she and her elite guards.

Meia: My Queen… Did you come to help!?

Queen Mermaid: We will repulse the attack on the mermaid and human town… Now, follow me!

Mermaid General: Yes!

The elite soldiers of the Mermaid Queen rushed into the throng of enemies. The battle to decide the fate of the mermaid inhabited coastal town has begun…

[Heaven]

Marco: ...Well, I expected a bit more colors…

Alice: The truth is not like you always think it is…

There were trees everywhere, far away from them there were hills, and over their heads there were clouds, but the only colorful thing are the rays of light that touched the leaves, everything else was just light blue…

Marco: *Sigh* Whatever… HAIL THE NEW FUHRER OF THE THIRD WORLD WAR!!!!

He yelled while holding the Doomblade upwards, and then he and Alice heard a familiar and celestial voice.

?: So you've finally arrived…
