I saw as they flew through the air and the archers fired but they were only just out of reach and the rest of the undead were getting into position and waiting for the gate to open and Phantom and Thanatos were in the front waiting for their signal to charge in.
I cast a protection spell on myself and an invisibility spell and my body was now invisible and my soul left my body and my soul could not be seem and I could not interact with the world around me I could interact with souls though so I could instantly kill the caribou I could get my hands on and I flew to the fort and landed on the ramparts and I watched as the skeletons and Hecale neared and they fired their arrows and Hecale fired shot of magic and she landed next to me not knowing I was watching her and she was kill the caribou near the pots and one snuck up behind her and I shoved my hand inti his back and he screamed in agony as I pulled out his soul and Hecale looked behind her to see the dead caribou with confusion as I consumed his soul and it tasted like a sundae and she moved on to destroying the pot and spilling it contents on the caribou and setting them on fire and the skeletons were already trying to open the gate but were struggling since they weren't that strong to begin with and some of the skeletons tried to defend the others trying to open it and most of the skeletons were destroyed by now and Hecale was by throwing the pots at the gate and setting it on fire so it will burn sown but that will take a bit.
I was eating the souls of another caribou when I saw a demon jump out a window and faced Hecale and I leaned on a nearby wall and watched.
"I have been told to drag you back to Tartarus by your father." The demon said and the demon had red skin and large bat wing and he wielded a long sword and he charged Hecale and swung his sword but Hecale used her claws to block his sword. "Who is your master?" He asked and Hecale smiled.
" He is a god and you couldn't fathom his power." She said
"But a god of what a god of weakling like you." He said mockingly.
"He is the god of darkness and death." She said and he grinned and I knew he sent a message telepathically but to where I did not know and Hecale pushed him off her and tried to stab him with her claw but her used his sword to knock them out of the way and he punched her in the gut pushing her back a few feet but she was left unaffected by the blow and I saw the gate was crumbling now and I heard marching outside and I saw the archers on the wall firing arrows and then they were shot with arrows as well and the fell of the wall and I saw their souls hovering over their body and I grabbed a few of them for a snack and I continued to watch them fight and I heard the undead ramming into the door trying to push it open and I looked back to them.
Hecale was dodging his swings as she used her wings to speed herself up and she flew through the air and The demon followed her and Hecale tried to slash him with her claws again but he blocked it but he was forced backward and he fell to the ground and Hecale was flying towards him and he rolled over and dodged her claws again and he stood up and held his sword.
I was watching Hecale and I saw she wasn't sweating or breathing hard and then she started to yell as she was surrounded by a magical aura and I could tell she was stronger then she was a second ago and she used her magic to increase her speed as she used her speed to appear behind him and stab is shoulder she was fast and she withdrew her claws from the demon and he covered his wound with his left hand and he held his sword with his right and his sword glowed with magic and it shot a beam of magic she wasn't prepared for and she was knocked to the ground and she demon was quickly on her as he tried to strangle her but she grabbed his arms and struggled to keep them from her neck and I walked up behind him and shoved hand in his back as he shouted in pain and I was reviled and his back glowed and Hecale looked at me as I pulled out the demons soul and he fell to the ground dead and I ate the soul and I returned to my body and I teleported inside the fort and help Hecale up and we were surrounded by caribou.
"Look like w have a fight on our hands." I said as Hecale dusted herself off and nodded as they charged and I stabbed a caribou that was behind Hecale and she used her claws to kill the one behind me and she rolled over my back and slit another's throat throat and we both turned around and stabbed the same caribou and I jumped over her and kicked another in the face a and he flew into group of soldiers and they fell down when he collided with them and the gate burst open and undead rushed in killing the caribou on the ground and more of them exited the buildings and engaged the undead and Thanatos killed too of them at once and consumed their souls and they turned into revenants as they fur turned white and they charged their former comrades and the door to the main bolding swung open to reveal the general and he brew his blade and charged the revenants and he cut off their heads and I teleported in front of him and he swung is sword and since I didn't know how much stronger my body was since my ascension I coated my arm in a magic shield and blocked it and his sword broke as grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up with one hand and he struggled for a moment before I snapped his neck.
After he was dead I saw some archers on the wall and I threw him with more strength then I usually use to see what would happen and he flew like lightning as he collided with the archer and the wall behind them was destroyed as they flew through the massive hole they created and they flew away about 30 feet from the fort before hitting the ground dying from the impact and making a crater where they landed.
"Well I think that does it." I said as I looked around and I held out my arms and the black mist form on my hands and it drifted to the ground and spread throughout the entire fortress and the bodies shook as they turned into black armored undead and stood at attention as they gathered at the gate.
"Most of you undead will stay here to protect the fort and keep it defended." I said and they saluted and Hecale walked over to me. "To bad we didn't get the chance to use the shadow demons." I said as they crawled out of her shadow and entered mine again and I felt contentment from them as they slumbered in my shadow and Phantom shortly joined them as he too slumbered.
"Yes and thank you for saving me even though I'm the one supposed to be protecting you." She said with a giggle and we exited the fort the undead that would be coming with us and we camped near the fort when we saw the sun had nearly set and now that we had the fort we could lit some fires and I could make something for Anna and I cooking a few strips of bacon and Anna left my arms and was curled up on a nearby rock waiting for it to finish cooking and once it was finished I placed the bacon on the rocks and she ate them and she slithered off somewhere and I walked around the camp the fort gates were being replaced with new ones and they were being reinforced.
After I walked around the camp I saw the general and I walked up to him.
"General what is our next target?" I asked and he looked at me and to some of the papers he was holding and looked through them.
"Some small towns and a city just before we reach the capital." He said I was surprised I thought this war could last months but if could be wrapped up in a single month maybe even less and I nodded and he walked off I wonder who the liches are faring.
