Chapter 399 War For Astor Kingdom I
As the Giant Stone Golem took steps closer to the city, the soldiers were mobilized, though none of the said soldiers were sure what they could do against the giant creature.
"They are sending us to die!"
"Where are the B-rankers?! Hell, where are the A-rankers because that monster is an A-rank!"
Despite the complaint of the soldiers, they continue marching to the walls, knowing there should be a good reason for it. Or so they hope.

"This is bad." King Eskal exclaimed as he heard news from the messenger hawks from other cities just now.
Giant Stone Golem had appeared, each one more than able to create a breach on the wall of the cities.
They also reported the hordes moving in behind the golden, likely capitalising on the future breach.
As if the Astor Kingdom would let them do as they please.
"Order the mages to target the golem. Do not paid heed to any of the monsters. Your priority is the Giant Stone Golem."
He could hear the Leader of Astor Mage Force giving instruction to the lower ranked mages. In the end, it is the only way they could hope to destroy the golem without suffering heavy casualties.
"Fire!" soon, barrages of spell flew towards the golem, shattering part of its heads and making it lose a large portion of its right arm.
Yet, it continue it very slow walk to the city, which is terrifying as even charging at the wall could lead to it, the wall that is, destruction.
"Fire!" another barrage of spell flew once more towards the golem, who cannot handle the second barrage, especially when an experience A-rank war mage with another A-rank mage, this time from the Adventure Guild, helped in taking it down.
As the golem crumbled, the soldiers cheered, with motif them happy they don't need to battle against the giant monster.
Yet, King Eskal could feel in his intuition that it was not over just yet.
"W-what?"
"By the gods, there are two of them now!"
Sure enough, two Giant Stone Golem arrive at the same time, lumbering towards the wall.
Though, unlike the previous one, the King could spit several part of the monsters lit up.
"Fire!" already havkng experience in dealing one of them, the Leader of Mage Force order another barrage.
As the spell was about to hit the monster though, different part light up, as barriers appear around the monster, reducing the damage done by the spells.
"No." King Eskal could not even help to reduce the terror his soldiers feeling. He was the same as them as the Giant Stone Golem continue it slow charge to the wall, but this time, with protection against magic.
"We need to find a way to destroy the Magic Circle!" even though the barrage failed against the newly arrived monsters, the Leader managed to remain calm while giving an assessment on the best and only way t destroy the monster.
"Send in our elites to get on the Giant Stone Golem! We cannot let them rampage any longer!" a group of elites were quickly mobilized with special potions that could erase Magic Circle.
As for why they have does, it was in case the demon is close enough for them to chuck the potion on him, as it also work on reducing mana pool while making them unable to use magic.

For the small group of elites, it's member are two Royal Guards, two captain from one special company and three elite soldiers equal to a commander in strength.
Riding on horses, they head towards the nearest golems, carrying punches containing the vials of Dispelling Potions.
"Get ready, we will climb on them as quickly as possible." one of the royal guards said, having been chosen as the leader for the dangerous mission.
The others nodded, knowing their lives depending on if they listened to him or not. As they near the feet of the golem, the horses trembled in fear as each stop the giant monster took, the earth quake.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The group split up, one searching for any places they could scale on while the other observe the hordes in case they send monsters after them.
"There is a place to climb." one of the elites exclaimed, pointing at a small ledge that would have nearly impossible for almost anyone to even try. Almost.
"It is good enough." one of the criteria chosen of the members of the Golem Destroying Mission is to be a good climber.
A rope with a hook attached to the end of it was given to the strongest thrower of the group, who throw it with such force that it penetrate deep into the Golem.
"Let's climb." the leader of the group gave the order to which the members slowly climb the rope like a bunch of monkeys.
Meanwhile, those that remained on the ground watch the hordes cautiously, hoping to not Garner attention from them.
Even if they did, they hope to attract the hordes focus to them at the very least instead of making them send flyers to the climbers or worse, have the Golem slapped them like a bunch of mosquitoes.
"They better be quick, or they will not be able to stop the Golem in time."
-x-
Fortunately for the climbers, there are many jagged places, giving them both foothold and handholds.
Before long, they found the first Magic Circle. With no hesitation, one of them pour the potion on the Magic Circle, causing it to erode.
As it did so, the others quickly head to the remaining Magic Circle, as while there are many runes littering the monster's body, only few vitals to maintain the shield around it.
It did not take long for the rest of the elites to find their targets and pour the Dispel Potion. When the last of the Magic Circle was removed, the elites quickly climb down, as it will get dangerous on the Golem.

"They finished their jobs. Now it's time for us to ours." the Leader of Mage Force said to himself before pointing at the Golem.
He had the decency to wait for a few seconds for the elites to climb down before unleashing a powerful barrage of spell.
"Grand Fireball." a large fireball, one that as large as a building appear on top of him, causing the around him to feel the smouldering heat.
He then waved his hand, sending it flying to the Golem with no protection. In a single hit, the monsters exploded into burning rocks and dirt, the attack something that it could not handle.
