Novel Bin 154 Chapter 153
Leon felt Yuki\'s despair through the call; he had understood her message. He had to kill Alexei even if his attack causes her death indirectly. Japan would suffer a big loss by losing the two remaining members of the imperial family, but she still was willing to die as long as Leon kills Alexei. Leon also lost his hesitation and made his twenty thousand skeleton archers and wizards move.
When they got close enough, the soldiers left the city to attack, and several choppers also came to offer support. When they were on his range, Leon made all the skeletons attack the space ahead of the soldiers with Fireballs and Fire Arrows. All the snow around melted, and the ground burned until it became dark and lifeless. So many projectiles destroyed over an area that was equal to the size of a big stadium. When they felt the heat, the soldier broke into a cold sweat. All of them remembered the message that Lennart and his teammates passed to the soldiers.
"I will forgive them just one time."
While that message was echoing through their heads, many soldiers run away to the city and toward their homes. They would take their families and friends and leave the city instead of facing an army of monsters that could burn them to a crisp. Before the choppers could approach half of the first group of soldiers had run away, and with each passing moment, more and more felt like it was useless to fight. Still, some of them stayed behind to fight. Leon didn\'t know why they insisted on fighting even when Leon gave such a clear warning. Perhaps it was loyalty; perhaps they wanted to keep their ranks, maybe they thought Leon would destroy their hometown just for the fun of it. Either way, it didn\'t change anything to Leon.
"It is a pity…" Leon murmured.
It was a pity to see soldiers dying due to a fool\'s actions, but Leon didn\'t think twice when they charged to attack the skeletons. On the second volley of attacks, one hundred and twenty-four soldiers died after being burn to a crisp. It was the first time Leon killed someone, and he just didn\'t kill one or two, he killed more than one hundred. Still, he didn\'t hesitate because they were fighting to take his head.
Three hundred soldiers were sent to stop the skeletons on the first wave, one hundred and seventy-six fled, but on the second wave, only ninety appeared. The other two hundred and ten ran away when they saw their companions burned almost instantly.
Even from far away, Leon could see that the vast majority of soldiers were running away. However, he didn\'t have time for that. The choppers were surrounding him, and they had mages and archers ready to attack. Leon also gave them one chance, he flew upward to avoid their attacks and shot Fire Arrows and destroyed their propellers. The soldiers jumped from the vehicles, while some were trying to make sure that they wouldn\'t land and hit their heads against the ground, a few tried to attack Leon and three guys managed to hit him with Thunder Arrows.

"Truly, a pity…" Leon murmured and used the gravity ring to make sure that those who attacked him would fall to their deaths.
Leon only wanted to make allies and work together to find a way to seal the dungeons and get rid of the monsters. But not everything was so simple, some people don\'t listen to reason, after all. While the skeletons were approaching Moscow and killing those who weren\'t smart enough to run away. Leon shot down the choppers, but only for a while. Even the pilots of the helicopters gave up on the idea of approaching him; it was close to suicide after all.
Eventually, the skeletons reached the steel walls, but they quickly melted the obstacle. Without any enemies trying to attack him by the skies, Leon decided to follow the army of skeletons. Soon, he regretted the idea due to the smell of blood and burned flesh. Leon puked several times after seeing burned bones. It was the scene of hell, and it was the hell that he had created himself.
Now and then, Leon would make his army stop just to make sure that citizens would have time to run away. Despite that, he burned every single building on his path. He couldn\'t make twenty thousand skeletons fit in a single street after all. So, they destroyed blocks and marched above them. Even after causing so much destruction, Leon confirmed that Alexei wouldn\'t give up so easily. Hidden under the debris, Leon felt the presence of several soldiers very alive. When he was close enough, they left their hideouts to attack him, but Leon attacked them first with stone arrows to their heads. They died even without noticing that Leon had noticed them.
Leon and the skeleton army marched to the center of the city where Alexei\'s building was. Occasionally stopping to attack some suicide soldiers and to give enough time to the others run away.
Eventually, Leon and the army arrived at their destination. It was quite a nice building, but Leon felt like destroying it without a second thought. However, he couldn\'t, Yuki was still there. So, he just picked his cellphone and called Alexei. Soon, Alexei accepted the call.
"Last chance, Alexei," Leon said. "Give up now, and I will grant you quick death."
"I\'ll choose option number two."
"… There is no option number two." Leon sighed.
Leon heard Alexei laughing; he was laughing as if Leon hadn\'t destroyed a good part of the city and still didn\'t suffer a single loss to his army. He only understood why he laughed when he saw a silver object coming out from one of the windows of Alexei\'s building. Leon couldn\'t tell what that was from so far. However, he discovered what that was when he saw the object emitting electricity. The bastard did really have a railgun…
