The Hero of Hypnosis

"Soldiers! Prepare for an attack!" The commander of the Royal Army shouted.

This wasn't something the Royal Army could sit back and let the local guards or adventurers handle. There were millions of undead monsters approaching the Capital, and they needed all hands on deck.

The combined forces of the Royal Army, Guards, Mercenaries, Adventurers, and people willing to fight to protect their home, the total number of people didn't pass two million. That was 8 million less than the undead army.

The bright side was that half of the undead army was cannon fodder and would easily fall to the most common soldier. This didn't mean that everything was fine and dandy. They were still outnumbered and would be overwhelmed if they didn't take things seriously.

"Mages, ready your spells! Archer, ready your bows! Soldiers, draw your weapons!" The commander ordered as the undead army marched closer to the city walls.

They didn't know how the necromancer managed to infiltrate the kingdom as a whole, but they would protect their home with everything they had.

"Archers! Fire!"

A massive cloud of arrows fired from bows and crossbows that cast a large shadow rained down on the undead army, killing the creatures made of flesh, but doing nothing against the creatures made of bone. The stronger undead also managed to avoid being harmed by the arrows and continued to march forward.

"Fire the ballistas!"

Massive arrows rained down on the undead army with magic arrowheads that exploded when making contact with the ground.

Everyone cheered as they saw the undead army was completely overwhelmed by the first wave of their defense without costing a single man's life.

"Cannons! Fire the cannons!"

More explosions went off that decimated parts of the undead army, dwindling their numbers down at a rapid pace.

"Mages! Fire your spells!"

And finally, a huge wave of elemental magic bombarded the monsters and skeletons, killing them for a second time.

When the initial attacks were finished, the undead army that consisted of 10 million undead now only had 3 million.

"Now, everyone! ATTA-KAUGHH!"

Everyone froze when their commander's voice had cut off. It sounded as if he had been hit by something, causing him to grunt in pain.

When they all turned to see what happened, they saw a large bone in his face that protruded from the back of his head. Blood poured out of him like crazy, and after a few more wheezes, he fell face-first on the ground, dead.

"Did you think your primitive weapons and spells could do anything against my army?" A creepy, raspy, powerful voice asked that covered the entire battlefield.

"You are nothing more than fuel for my Lord's army. Now do me a favor and DIE!" The necromancer, who was floating high in the sky, cast one of his spells, a purple magic circle appearing in front of his hands.

Just then, the ground rumbled, and all of the undead that were killed rose back up. Their bodies regenerated, and they continued to march toward the city gates. The only ones who didn't rise were the ones who were burned by fire. Because of this, only 8 million undead were advancing forward.

"Kill them all, my children!" The necromancer shouted

The second in command of the Royal Army could barely speak a word, but as he saw the undead army charging toward them, he summoned all of the remaining confidence he had.

"E-Everyone! ATTACK!"

Soldiers, knights, mages, adventurers, mercenaries, and other capable fighters charged toward the undead army, their cries being heard as a loud thunderous boom.

Swords clashed, spells rearranged the terrain, and everyone fought with their lives on the line. While they didn't want to die, they knew it was up to them to protect their friends, family, and home.

"Push them back! Don't let them through the gate!"

Mages and archers sat on top of the walls, providing cover fire and taking care of certain undead who managed to make it past the front line. While there was a force on standby inside the city, it was their job to make sure it didn't get to that point.

However, without them knowing, one undead managed to sneak up on them, and it started killing soldiers.

"What the?!"

"How did an undead climb up these walls?!"

"Arghh!"

"Help!"

The lieutenant of the royal army stepped up to face the undead that managed to bypass their defences.

"C-Commander?" He asked, his eyes full of shock

"Garghhh!" The zombified commander shouted

"D-Dammit! How will I tell your family about this?" He asked, crying as he faced off against his commander.

"Burn the dead bodies! Don't let the necromancer get hold of them!" A mage shouted as he burned one of the bodies of the zombified commander killed.

While they hated the idea of not giving their brother and sisters in arms a proper burial, they had to ensure their survival and burned the bodies.

"Lieutenant, I'm here to help!" A knight said as he jumped into the fight.

The commander was a Tier-7 warrior, and they were both Tier-6. While they were only one tier below the commander, the gap in power was still vast. Together, they still struggled against their former mentor and had a hard time putting him down permanently.

The battlefield was having an even harder time. Fallen soldiers were turned into undead warriors, and powerful undead monsters started wiping out people left and right.

"There are too many of them!"

"They're too powerful!"

"Hold the line!"

"Don't give up!"

Then, everything changed when a loud screech made everyone freeze in place. From afar, a massive bone dragon flew from above, its purple eyes striking fear into anyone who looked at it.

Purple flames gathered in its boney maw, and it released a massive wave of demonic flames that wiped out anyone who managed to get burned, no matter how light it was.

"ARGHH!"

"Run away!"

"Help! Help me!"

"Ahhh! It burns!"

All of the clerics tried their best to heal as many people as they could, but even their powers had limits, and the Church of Gracia, which they had called for help, was still a few hours away until they were able to arrive.

Following the dragon, an undead wyvern and drake all appeared, causing massive destruction, killing people left and right. Other powerful undead beasts and people made easy work of the living army, allowing the necromancer to turn them into undead soldiers.

Over 500 thousand people had died already, and out of them, over 300 thousand became undead soldiers.

"We're all going to die!"

"Gracia, please protect us!"

The drake, wyvern, and dragon all charged demonic energy into their mouths and fired it toward the army. The destruction it would have caused would have been catastrophic, but before it could cause any harm, a massive barrier protected the army from the demonic flames, and a wide range healing spell took care of the injuries everyone had.

"Hahahahah! Looks like all the fun started without us!" A man shouted as he leaped into the air, clobbering the dragon, wyvern, and drake to smithereens.

"I've always wanted to fight a battle like this." A woman said as she easily killed the commander, burning the corpse.

Another woman blitzed through the battlefield, slaying every undead that was pushing the front line back. "Hahaha! This is fun! I want to do this more often!"

"All of you, stand behind me!" A massive shield protected the army from the oncoming undead warriors, and a massive hammer crushed all of them who came too close, destroying the land in the process.

"Time to die, you disgusting bastards." A volley of arrows enhanced by fire spirits rained down on the undead army, killing every monster that had flesh.

Then, a massive wave of mana washed over the soldiers, restoring their stamina, strengthening their bodies, and adding layers of magical protection to them. "As long as you fight, I'll be here to help you out."

"W-Who are these people?" A soldier asked.

"Who are we, you ask?" The man who killed the dragon turned to them with a wide grin on his face. "We're Kai and his amazing friends!"

"Hell no!"

"That name sucks."

"I'd rather die than refer to our group as that."

"Wow, that's horrible."

"Sorry, but that name is pretty bad."

"Oh, come on! The name is great!"
