บท 68: The Calamity God Returns
Next Day,
Undisclosed Location,
No One POV,
A swarm of soldiers, that was the only way to describe the current scene. The army had officially begun moving after gathering up at the capital and was being led by Galahad himself. There were soldiers as far as the eye could see, not only humans but with monsters in the mix too. This was one of the most powerful militaries in the entire world and even a Demon Lord couldn't afford to agitate them without reason.
Dragons circled over head eventually roaring just to assert their dominance, with the ones at the head being the four Dragon Kings directly under Galahad. The strength of every single individual here was almost S rank as the minimum, S Rank in human terminology not the monster one. That was because they were being personally trained by Rein herself.
Yes it sounds impressive too but this is a world which favors quality over quantity no matter what meaning if they were to be assualted by something much stronger than them then they would drop like flies. They were moving through numerous Western States and were on their to the Kingdom of Falmuth well to be exact, their actual destination was the Kingdom of Siltrozzo but it was directly behind Falmuth so they had to pass through there.
The Western States couldn't do anything to oppose them because while they were numerous, they were small in size and their individual military didn't amount to much. With the declaration that the God of Calamity himself was leading this crusade none of them had the guts to stop, question or even fine them for it lest they risk complete annihilation.
The army was comprised of Dragons, human warriors, mages, majin as well as monsters. Then there was the artillery as well, magical canons and then the traditional stuff like Catapults and the like, there were also the Magical Bombardment Corps skilled in the deployment of Nuclear Magic. Again it is clarified that this was all only because Mizari was the one responsible for them, she wanted praise for it! Hmph!
Of course initially some did try it but they were given only one answer, no an order, "Move or I'll end your pathetic existence, trash." with the threat coming directly from the Calamity Lord himself there was no one who could argue, that was because the entire world knew he was completely capable of doing that with ease.
Galahad of course was in his carriage and asleep as Mizari sat next to him, the battle would be managed by the prideful side but outside of that he was still his usual lazy self. Another woman sitting beside him looked at his sleeping figure confused, Gods are supposed to be hot yes but are they supposed to be this lazy and undignified? "Yes, that's it." she muttered making Mizari shush her. That simply made all who see it feel closer to him, why? Well according to Mizari it's his way of showing his trust in them! (A/N: Bullshit!)
"What are you doing My lady?" she questioned Mizari who shushed her again. She was currently busy with staring at her Master's face as he slept, she hadn't met him a lot after being given her job in the church so she needed to refill her energy. Before she realized something, did he send her away because he didn't like her? Was it because of her emotionless face?! She tried to make a small smile with her fingers confusing the woman.

The Frozen Continent,
Guy Crimson POV,
Guy had just recieved information about her old friend's movements, she had agents planted across the entire world so of course she got the information as soon as the event happened. Galahad was finally moving! "That lazy prick got off his ass huh?" she smirked and folded her arms. Leaning back she let out a long sigh, it was quite worrisome to see him just disregard his position as a Demon Lord and not do anything for centuries.
Hell some people even started questioning his existence, but with this he was undeniably back! "Calamity God's return huh? Maybe I should congratulate him with a gift." she remarked looking up in thought, it had been a while since they last met! Velzard curiously looked over, "What kind of gift?" she asked. "My body?" Guy responded with a grin making Velzard sigh.
Velzard looked around for a bit, "Maybe I should get a gift too?" getting manhandled by Guy made her realize how he must have felt being slapped by her, on top of that she also learnt that the incident was the brat's fault and not Galahad's at all! Well she did beat the shit out of Velgrynd for it but still she felt like apologizing, especially because Galahad was one of the closest people to Guy.
Guy narrowed her eyes, if Galahad was finally announcing himself again then that meant that major things would be happening from now on. Oh she had long figured out that Galahad possessed some sort of way to see the future but what about it? It changes nothing. Also it was time to call another Walpurgis!

El Dorado,
Spiral Castle,
Leon Cromwell POV,
Leon's eyes slightly widened in surprise, Galahad was moving? Something was definitely up! He needed to find out, "I see." he muttered out leaving Claude surprised, "Nothing more, my Lord?" he asked bowing, a gigantic war was about to take place but this was the reaction? As expected! "Yes." Leon answered shortly before getting up to leave.
A Walpurgis was necessary now, something was up if Galahad himself had announced his presence. The one Demon Lord who had next to no ego and usually stayed quiet unless approached was moving. On top of that, Galahad was among his few actual friends and because he had only three or four of those, he didn't mind keeping an eye out for him.

Land of Puppets Jistarv,
Clayman POV,
Clayman's face turned red from anger as he heard the news about Galahad's movements. He slammed his fist down in agitation breaking the table. That stupid Demon Lord who refused to acknowledge him and had been silent for centuries fucking moved. Clayman was extremely angry, this ruined many of his plans. "Damn him!" though not being recognized agitated him even more.
Clayman was extremely arrogant. Therefore someone considering him not even worth their time was something he couldn't permit no matter what! He looked up and started laughing madly, "Fine then! I'll see how you fare against me!" he smiled widely and got up to leave, it was time to call another Walpurgis.
His confidence wasn't baseless either, if even Milim could be mind controlled then as someone weaker than her Galahad should definitely be controllable as well. All he needed to do was acquire another one of those artifacts which let him control others. The price would be hefty but he would acquire one of the strongest militaries as the trade off. What a good plan!

Holy Kingdom of Ruberios,
Luminous Valentine POV,
Luminous had already been keeping an eye out for any declarations from Galahad so of course she learnt about it as soon as the army started moving. She was happy for him, finally he had decided to take his rightful place and stand above the inconsequential creatures he usually meddled with. "So he finally has pride." she muttered before smiling.
Yes the Ten Great Saints were dispatched as well but she got a favor from Galahad as the trade off, all was fine with the world! Oh they had lives? Well she didn't really care about some humans dying off, though she had made sure to send a message to avoid killing them as it would cause too many problems.
She folded her arms and smiled smugly, now she had to make sure that pride stayed and he didn't forget his position. Hm Hm She would make sure of it! She stood up and went off to sleep for a while, a Walpurgis was necessary!

Galahad POV,
The Western Council had stopped his forces from crossing the river that separated the two pieces of land, they had stationed guards at the bridges and refused to let them march. This is because their march broke all their aggression related rule, a fighting force of nearly 800,000, of course they felt threatened!
But they were dealing with the wrong Galahad, he walked out and cracked his neck before holding up his hand, "Move, trash." but seeing that apart from some people shaking in fear he inspired no others actions he narrowed his eyes, "Can't you hear me fools?! Move or forfeit your lives!" he shouted again this time a bit angry, who were they to deny HIM passage? "Heretics!" one of his men shouted angrily.
But they didn't budge, "P-Please hol-!" someone was about to come forward in order to negotiate with him but he didn't want it, these trash had gone too far by going against his will. He raised his hand and brought it down, "After I was gracious enough to give you a chance, you denied me. Well, I allow you to suffer for your mistakes." he said smirking arrogantly as a pillar of light of descended from the sky.
"M-MOVE!!" someone shouted in fear but it was useless, forget killing them that pillar eradicated the entire area leaving behind a gigantic crater in it's place, however their death wasn't the punishment. "Struggle as you will." he said walking back into the carriage. The punishment was the water problems they would face because one of the major rivers was now non existent.
"Hail the Calamity God!"
"All Hail Galahad!" This was testament to his might, those foolish idiots deserved it! A bridge formed over the crater making passage for them, those heretics deserved it.
