Chapter 63: War of Lathunia

The kingdom of **Lathunia** stood tall amidst the chaos, its soldiers holding the frontlines despite the overwhelming numbers of the demon army. Though outnumbered and battered, Lathunia's defense was bolstered by one key figure: a prodigy spearman, who had earned the title of the **New Hero of the Spear**. His prowess alone had turned the tides in several battles, inspiring the troops to push beyond their limits.

Finally, after weeks of fierce fighting, **Division 10** arrived. They were the last division to reach the kingdom, joining forces with the others that had come before them. The army of Lathunia had been waiting, their resolve wavering, but the sight of the elite divisions brought hope back into their hearts.

Inside the grand hall of Lathunia's royal palace, the gathered captains of the various divisions stood before the king, discussing their strategy. The tension in the room was palpable as they understood the gravity of their mission.

At the head of the group stood **Captain Aria**, known as the **Trident Queen** and the commander of **Division 2**. Her eyes were sharp, her presence commanding. To her left was **Captain Elizabeth**, the healer and leader of **Division 6**, a woman with gentle features but unmatched mastery over restorative magic. Next to her stood **Captain Roy**, the elite archer of **Division 1**, his bow slung across his back, and his eagle-like gaze scanning the room.

On the opposite side, **Captain Donn**, the hulking figure of **Division 12**, rested his massive axe on the ground. His bald head gleamed in the torchlight as he crossed his arms, waiting for the king to speak. His brute strength was legendary, and despite his stoic demeanor, everyone knew he was as fierce in battle as he was loyal to his comrades.

Finally, **Captain Elara** of **Division 10** arrived last, but her entrance was met with respectful nods from the others. She was known for her tactical brilliance and her ability to enchant her sword with elemental magic. Her presence completed the ensemble of powerful captains.

The king of Lathunia, a weary but determined man, stood before them. He wore his crown, but the weight of the war was visible in his eyes. His advisors stood behind him, but it was clear he was looking to the captains for answers.

**King of Lathunia**: (firmly) "I thank you for coming to our aid. Lathunia has held strong, but we are on the brink of being overwhelmed. The demon army continues to press us from all sides. We need a plan—a decisive strike to turn the tide."

Captain Aria stepped forward, her trident held at her side.

**Captain Aria**: (confidently) "Your Majesty, we've been coordinating with the other divisions. Our forces are now sufficient to mount an offensive. But we must use strategy, not brute force, to break the demon army's lines."

Captain Elizabeth chimed in, her voice calm and soothing.

**Captain Elizabeth**: "We have the strength, but the key lies in maintaining our stamina. The demons have been wearing down your forces, and many are injured. My division will set up a healing camp on the frontlines to sustain your troops during the battle."

Captain Roy nodded, his hand resting on the bow.

**Captain Roy**: "Our archers can provide cover from the high ground, picking off key targets. We'll aim to eliminate their commanders and disrupt their chain of command."

Captain Donn grunted, his voice gruff but resolute.

**Captain Donn**: "Once their lines are disrupted, my division will lead the charge. We'll cut through their ranks, but we need to be fast, strike hard before they can regroup."

The king listened carefully, then turned to **Captain Elara**, the newest arrival. Her division was known for versatility, and the king trusted her tactical insight.

**King of Lathunia**: (seriously) "And what of you, Captain Elara? What part will Division 10 play in this battle?"

Elara stepped forward, her enchanted sword glinting with a faint aura of magic.

**Captain Elara**: (calmly) "Division 10 will coordinate the elemental defenses and offenses. We'll be the force that pushes into the heart of the demon army. With Aria's support on the frontlines and Roy covering us from the heights, we'll create a path. But more than that—we need to take out their general."

The room fell silent at Elara's words. She had identified the most dangerous piece of the demon army's puzzle—their general, a powerful figure who had been directing the demon onslaught from the shadows.

**Captain Aria**: (nodding) "It's risky, but if we succeed in eliminating their general, the demon army will crumble."

The king nodded slowly, weighing their words.

**King of Lathunia**: (decisively) "Very well. You have my blessing to proceed with this plan. But remember, Lathunia cannot afford to fail. Our people are depending on you."

The captains exchanged glances, the weight of the responsibility sinking in. The path ahead was dangerous, but they had faced worse odds before. With their combined strength, they had a chance to turn the tide of the war.

As they left the royal chamber to make final preparations, the captains knew that this battle would decide the fate of Lathunia—and possibly the entire realm.

As the captains left the royal chamber to finalize their preparations, a pair of figures lurked in the shadows nearby. **Akane** and **Yana**, both members of Division 10, had been discreetly hiding among the ranks of knights. They had overheard the entire conversation, their expressions a mix of determination and apprehension.

**Akane**: (whispering) "Did you hear that? If we can take out the demon general, it could really change the tide of the battle."

**Yana**: (nodding) "We should find a way to contribute. This is our chance to prove ourselves."

They exchanged a glance, both knowing that their skills could play a crucial role in the upcoming fight. As the knights around them began to gather their weapons and armor, Akane and Yana steeled themselves for what lay ahead. The fate of Lathunia—and their own destinies—was about to be decided on the battlefield.

With a shared sense of purpose, they prepared to step out of the shadows, ready to fight alongside their comrades in Division 10.
