Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

1166 Believe In Me, And Believe In Him

Elysium…

After the migration of Karshvar Draconis and the Crystal Palace to the lands of Espoir Frieden, Princess Valerie and Prince Aur no longer showed themselves to the public.

Hereswith also announced that she had taken the two as her Disciples.

As someone who was now beloved by everyone, Hereswith's declaration was received positively by the citizens of both Dragon Kingdoms.

The preparations for the counterattack were well underway.

Although the bulk of the Draconic Armies, as well as the members of the Alliance who decided to join them in battle, were going to leave, they couldn't leave their people completely unprotected.

So, they left a quarter of their Kingdom's forces to defend their people and maintain order.

The Elves would also be sending a Delegation to help the Alliance fight against the Abyssal Lords, who had thoroughly conquered the Western Region of Elysium.

There was also one powerful faction who had made a name for themselves during the Abyssal Invasion.

It was none other than the one and only Mythical Guild in the world, Heaven's Gate.

Led by Great General Garret, the Floating Fortress, which was called Edea by the majority of the Alliance, would also join the war.

Inspired by their ability to travel anywhere, King Azza and Keoza decided to bring along three uninhabited islands from their own Domain, which they would also use as flying fortresses to house their armies.

Currently, everyone was busy building barracks and houses on these floating islands, which would serve as accommodation for the soldiers.

After hearing about the Alliance's All-Out Counter Offensive, the Abyssal Lords on the North, South, and Central Regions of Elysium migrated West in order to join Nyarlathotep's Abyssal Army.

Days turned into weeks, and finally, after a month, all preparations had been completed.

"I'll be going now," the Dragon King, Azza, said to his wife, sons, and daughter, who were all looking at him with worried looks on their faces.

Seeing their expressions, the Dragon King chuckled.

"Why are you all looking at me like this?" King Azza arched an eyebrow. "I am the strongest being in Elysium. Do you think I will croak before that bastard Keoza does? Not happening."

"Just come back to us safely, Azza," Queen Saphira said. "I will look after our children while you are away."

"Mmm," King Azza nodded before kissing his wife's right cheek.

He then glanced at his sons, as well as his daughter, Valerie, who was carrying Lux's child.

He was still very annoyed that the Half-Elf had managed to worm his way inside his daughter's heart.

Although she had completely forgotten about him, she was no longer ignorant of his name, thanks to Ari's stories about how they met in the past.

Keoza's powers were preventing Valerie and Ali from having a relapse, which would make them forget about him again.

"I'm off," King Azza said before turning around. "Wait for my triumphant return."

Without another word, he opened his draconic wings and flew to one of the floating islands in the sky, which would become his flagship during the war.

Keoza was also bidding his farewell to his wife, Queen Evangeline, and daughter, Aurelia.

"I will return, just like how I returned to be with the two of you again," Keoza said softly. "Evangeline, look after Aurelia and her unborn child."

"I will," Queen Evangeline replied before kissing her husband's lips. "I'll be waiting, even if I have to wait forever."

Keoza's gaze softened as he hugged his wife close to him.

A moment later, he also hugged his daughter, Aurelia, who was doing her best not to cry.

"Believe in me, and believe in him," Keoza said as he lightly patted his daughter's back. "Both of us will return to you."

Aurelia nodded, holding back her tears.

"May fortune be with you, Father," Aurelia replied. "Both you and Lux are strong. I believe that the two of you will come back safely."

Keoza nodded. He then glanced at Lady Augustina, who was standing a few meters away from them, and nodded.

The two then flew toward one of the Crystal Islands in the sky, which they had chosen to be their flagship for the war.

On the floating island of Edea, Garret and the members of Heaven's Gate stood in front of their guild headquarters and looked in the distance.

When Keoza arrived, he told them the true identity of their Guild Master, whom they had all forgotten.

They were surprised, of course, but they recovered just as fast.

All of them thought that the one who founded Heaven's Gate was a mysterious figure who had left them to explore the world.

However, he left his daughter, Eiko, behind, who took the helm of Heaven's Gate for a period of time before she passed it to General Garret.

Eiko had her own battles to fight, and she couldn't always be at their Guild Headquarters to take charge of everything.

Because of this, the Guild operations were left to the two individuals who usually handled everything whenever Lux was away.

Garret, the one who handled matters that required the Guild to mobilize, and Emma, the one who handled logistics and half of the administrative duties of their Guild.

"Is everyone ready?" Garret asked.

"Yes," Emma replied.

Garret nodded. "Good."

The floating Islands of Karshvar Draconis and the Crystal Palace all moved forward.

There were also two other floating islands accompanying them.

One looked like an altar, while the other looked like a floating graveyard.

The Divine Army of Light and Memento Mori were also joining the battle.

For the first time in hundreds of years, the two warring factions would fight side by side on the battlefield which would decide the fate of their world once again.

The Beastkins, the Agarthians, and the other members of the Alliance were riding on their own flying ships, flying at the rear of the floating islands, maintaining their battle formations.

"Let's go," Garret stated before raising his fist toward the sky. "For Heaven's Gate!"

All the guild members did the same and shouted in unison.

"""For Heaven's Gate!"""
