Velder is the largest city Lurensia and the capital of the Velder Kingdom. The capital houses the Earth Priestess Artea as well at the Earth El.
Hearing word from Ariel, the El Search Party were informed that that Velder had been overrun by demons. The energy resonating from the city feels much like the darkness that plagued Feita. The city has fallen into disarray and the demons have launched a surprise attack from the inside. The El Search Party must put a stop to the demon's rampage before the capital is lost.
Chapter 10: Velder is in danger
Velder, the Capital City, has fallen under the Demon Forces who have been hiding the stolen El Shards. Residents have set up a station on the outskirts of Velder so that they can have better access to the Kingdom. They planned to attack from the residential areas first.

The capital of Velder is already invaded by Demons and the Leader of the Centurion Guards has temporarily retreated. They are waiting for the opportunity to attack again. Vanessa is having difficulty breaking through the Demons defenses. Let's find a way to defeat the Demons and enter the palace. Let's pass through the Residential Area 3 to approach Hope Bridge.
Raven: How is the situation? I heard there's an unknown army that suddenly appeared.
Vanessa: Velder housed the largest El Shard of all, the Earth El but one day swarms of creatures just kept pouring out of the room that kept the El Shard.
Elsword: An inside job... They caught us off guard, I wonder if they are the same ones from Feita?
Vanessa: Even our best Knights were unable to contain the massive number of demons that poured out of our Castle's Walls. We were forced to move outside the Castle Walls and make camp here.
Raven: We have to hurry, looks like the situation is similar to Feita.
Vanessa: You've mentioned this before.. But what happened in Feita?
Elsword: The demons opened a portal using the Dark El in Feita's Shrine. Their objective was to move massive armies to Elrios.
Rena: I'm sure they opened a gate to the demon world in the room where the Earth El is. We have to quickly get to the Palace and close it!
Aisha: The Earth El in Velder is known to be the biggest of all the El Shards.. If this becomes a Dark El, the power is holds will be unimaginable.
Eve: I sense a bigger energy flow than Feita. We must hurry.
Vanessa: Understood. We're formed an alliance with our Knights and outside aid. Our first priority is moving back inside the Castle. Please go inside the Castle and clear enough demons to clear a path for us inside.

Rena: Isn't there and Earth Priestess in Velder? If we were to find out about the Earth El's status, she would be the best candidate.
Vanessa: This... is top secret but with the demons invasion happened, the Earth Priestess went missing. We've had no time to look for her, since the demon invasion no one has seen her. (Listen to scout's report) What? All of the First Squad..?
Elsword: What's that?
Vanessa: We sent soldier to scout out the path you suggested but they were all killed by Demons with Black Bandanas.. They said they saw a Shadow really quickly, would you take care of them for us?

Description
The Glitter Commanders are training the Arc Glitters for battle! Let's go to Residential Area 3 to defeat Arc Glitters and bring back the Glitter March!
Noel: Why are you asking a lowly bard? I left the battlefield because I hated violence..
Elsword: I don't know how it was when you were a Mercenary but this is a fight between Mandkind and Demons! You don't care what happens to Vel-.. no Elrios?
Noel: If it is the demons I guess I have no choice. Go check out the large Glitter that commands all the demons. He commands his army in a unique way. He uses music to command soldiers nearby.
Eve: They are using their weird curse waves to communicate.. This will make it easier for them to order the soldiers around.
Noel: If you just take care of him and his elites, the battle should become easier. I also have a favor, could you go and find the musical sheet for their army.
Raven: They've deciphered the code and brought confusion to the army... Impressive.
At the end of Hope Bridge… (Hope Bridge "Any Difficulty")
Chloe (Hope Bridge "Any Difficulty") 0/1
Description
While you were trying to cross the Hope Bridge to Velder Palace, a large group of Demons has ambushed you. There is nowhere to run on this bridge, so get ready to fight for your life. Let’s defeat the Demons and cross the Hope Bridge.
Vanessa: Did their line of defense already crumble? Noel is definitely a veteran.
Rena: He seems to know how to weaken demons pretty well.. Although he doesn't look all that earnest.
Vanessa: In order to get to the Velder Castle our next plan is to cross the Bridge of Hope. The enemy know how important this bridge is and my reports say they have secured the perimeter around it.
Elsword: Grr.. If it is the only entrance to the Palace you can bet there will be a lot of Demon Soldiers.
Vanessa: Our soldiers witnessed some elegant but fierce archers in the vicinity, please be careful.
Eve: Your heart is racing. Elsword, you're just... sigh.
Rena: You finally crossed the line! You cursed Dark Elves!
There are swift Dark Elves and Arc Glitter Assassins lining up at the Hope Bridge. I have a feeling we're going to bump into all the evil leaders like, Stealthy Morfos and Chloe!! We must be sure to defeat them so let's hurry up and head over to the Hope Bridge!
Unlike the normal soldiers in Feita, the Glitters in Velder are wearing decorated armor and moving uniformly under the leader, Glitter Commander. Let's go to Hope Bridge and defeat the Glitter Commander!
Vanessa: Our Allies have almost taken over the bridge completely. We just need to clear out the rest of the demons before we make our advance to the castle.
Aisha: We confuse them and get'em all at once? Got it!
Vanessa: It doesn't look easy. There are a handful of demons still resisting but their commander is quite strong.
Elsword: The soldiers didn't seem well trained, we just need to take out their commander and the rest should be cake!
Vanessa: If you can break their line of defense then our soldiers can advance and finish the job.
When Elsword and his Party reached the Kingdom, it was already burning, and the Evil Forces and the Dark Elves were to blame. After numerous fights, they finally retrieved the Evil Force plans and decided to enter through the Southern Gate, seeing there were only a few guards there. Soon after, the Party arrived at the Southern Gate and realized that it was a trick and found all the guards waiting for them there. The guards were almost all defeated until Chloe summoned the Dark Nephilim. They used magic and previously learned skills to destroy the Dark Nephilim and escaped the Southern Gate. The Centurion of Velder named Vanessa asked the El Search Party to deliver a rescue letter all the way across the sea to the other side of the continent.
After you've finally crossed Hope Bridge to the Palace Entrance, you are greeted by raging flames and destruction instead of the beautiful street that once led ot the palace. The Palace Entrance is under attack, so let's ignore the Demons at the gate and get to the castle right away!
Everything you see on the street is on fire. Fortunately the palace over the wall looks yet to be safe, but the fire leading to the Palace Entrance looks very fierce. At least you can eliminate Kenaz, the Fire Spirit born from the fire, and prevent further damage.
Noel: The cause is probably the Fire Spirits that the Dark Elves summoned from the Demon World. Those Fire Spirits can make the smallest fire into an inferno.
Elsword: Spirit...? I knew it wasn't a simple fire.
Aisha: Lies! It's probably Kenaz, it specializes in chain explosions.
Vanessa: Is that true? Then we just have to get rid of those spirits and the flames will die down.
Noel: Just defeating them is not enough, if they have just a little bit of Fire Spirit around them they will come back.
Vanessa: We have to stop any more damage damage from being done to the Castle. We just have to take care of the Fire Spirits nearby and we can stop the fire spreading.

Vanessa: A demons is defeating our soldiers. None of my soldiers can stop it
Rena: We finally got near the Kingdom's entrance.. Who is it now?
Vanessa: It's a Glitter.
Noel: What? Just from a single glitter?
Vanessa: A surviving solder told us that when the Glitter won a battle he said his name was Mcgard. He acted alone and only went for the strongest soldiers in the squad.
Noel: I guess there are demons of different types. I'm guess he just wanted to test his strength.
Vanessa: That's right, you can guess once he takes out all my skilled soldiers it will be disastrous. Please go defeat him.
The alchemy technology of the Glitters is as threatening as their necromancy. Glitter Vanguards are the formidable panzers of the demon army. They breeze through the battlefield, destroying buildings and crushing our soldiers in their way. Let's get to the Palace Entrance and destroy their weapons! Also, let's take their Alchemy Handbook from them!
You thought you cleared all the Demons lined up to the palace gate, but it looks like some of them have remained. Some of the deomns are occupying Hope Bridge. Let's return safely from Burning Hope Bridge.
Invincible Vardon (Burning Hope Bridge, "Hard or Higher") 0/1

Description
Vanessa wants to regroup her Centurion Guards and secure a retreat for her soldiers. Let's eliminate their greatest obstacles by going to the Burning Hope Bridge and destroying Siege Towers.
Raven: We were preemptively attacked and also lost on a strategic level.
Vanessa: Attention! Let's review our plan. Our one and only objective is to drive the Demons out of Velder! To do that we need to first. Retain as many Soldiers as we can in order to secure the City once we retake it. Do your best to keep your current forces without as much casualty!
Noel: There's the trusty leader that we were looking for. Haha.
Eve: A great leader... Now I understand.
Rena: Sigh, I guess so.
Noel: Vanessa said we have to neutralize the siege tower and retreat to minimize casualties.
Noel and Grail have figured out a way to overcome Crazy Puppet's tactics! Let's go to the Burning Hope Bridge and use Grail's instructions to take down the Crazy Puppet and collect Puppet Soul Fragments
Vanessa: We received new our Allies and the Demon Commander Crazy Puppet is currently engaged in battle.
Elsword: They aren't going to let us retreat that easily.. huh? Then I'll take them down!
Vanessa: Apparently no matter how many times you defeat him he keeps coming back to life...
Noel: Demonic spell? Velder's Alchemist Grail might have an answer for you.
Noel: What do you think, Grail?
Grail: Sip... You say he summoned a puppet? He stores him soul inside one of the dolls. You should destroy the puppet and get a hold of his real spirit and if you destroy the soul after you should rid of him permanently.
Eve: The puppet and the fancy look is to hide this trick.. Impressive, puppy.
Grail: Ahem..! If you get a hold of Crazy Puppet's soul fragment, could you bring it to me? I'll take care of it.

Eve: Is that Elsword's sister? They look so alike.
Rena: Thanks to you, Elsword is safe.
Elesis: You've really outdone yourself this time, Elsword.
Aisha: There's a difference between bravery and stupidity! You big dummy!
Elsword: Oww! My whole body is till aching!
Elesis: Haha, I see you are with good friends. Let me formally introduce myself. I'm Elesis, Captain of the Red Knights and this kid's older sister. Thanks for taking care of him for me.
Raven: I've heard of the Red Knight's Captain.
Elesis: To make it brief, I was on a solo mission to investigate the demons and that led me here.
Vanessa: Sigh... One after another..
Raven: What? 1st Commercial District is in trouble as well?
Vanessa: Our soldiers have entered the 1st Commercial Area but that area is already taken over by the vicious Demon Knight, Spriggan.
Elesis: This is bad... The soldiers won't be able to defend the refugees while retreating.
Vanessa: We have no where to retreat to now. We've already lost the 3rd Residential Area.. If we lose this one too our army will scatter.
Aisha: We just have to take care of Spriggan, right? The red haired kid will take care of the rest.
Vanessa: Demon Knight Spriggan is very dangerous, you must never let your guard down.
Grail: They may have a small frame and look weak but demons are actually quite strong and vicious.
Vanessa: Yes, just like Master Grail. You must never judge a book by its cover.
Grail: This elixir is to drug their enemies and take control of them using a powerful necromancy spell. Once they are under their control they become their mindless soldiers.
Elsword: Is this and extension of Feita? Evil bastards!

Dark Nephilim (Southern Gate "Any Difficulty") 0/1
Description
Based on the Demon Battle Tactics Plan, the escape route seems to be the Southern Gate. Let's scout the Southern Gate before you deliver the retreat order.
Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Vanessa: Based on their plans, a significantly small amount of soldiers is stationed at Southern Gate. They don't even have a commander there.
Noel: Maybe it’s because Southern Gate is full of traps to be intruders away from the place.
Vanessa: Hmm, this is suspicious, though. We should check the gate first. Please scout Southern Gate.
Quest Completion Dialogue
Vanessa: Were there more demons than their plan showed?
Arc Glitter Panzer (Southern Gate, "Hard or Higher") 0/4
Demonic Cannon (Southern Gate, "Hard or Higher") 0/4

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Noel: I'm sorry Vanessa. I may have placed us all in danger. I wanted to get our people out of here so badly I didn't think carefully.
Grail: The plan was to trick us from the beginning.
Vanessa: It's okay Noel. Besides, we had not real alternative. The demons are closing in on us. Fighting is the only way out.

Stealthy Morfos (Southern Gate, "Hard or Higher") 0/1
Invincible Vardon (Southern Gate, "Hard or Higher") 0/1
Mcgard the Blitzkreig (Southern Gate, "Hard or Higher") 0/1

Description
The gate is surrounded by Glitter Leaders, like you expected for the final trap of the Demons. Let's defeat the Giltter Leaders at the Southern Gate and help the citizens and garrison soldiers to escape safely.
Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Noel: This isn't good. The leader of the Glitter, especially the ones in Velder, are especially tough. I don't think we have a chance.
Vanessa: Noel, worrying won't make them go away. Let's focus on one thing: breaking through to the outside.
Noel: I'm sorry for showing weakness, Vanessa. This is why you're a centurion and I'm a simple bard.
Vanessa: No, I'm not trying to-- ...Thank you for the compliment, Noel. Whoever they are, our decision is made. Let's do whatever it takes. Are you with us?
Quest Completion Dialogue
Vanessa: Is Chloe also at the Southern Gate?
Noel: Can you tell me more about the creature she summoned?
Rune-Imprinted Stone (Dark Nephilim, Southern Gate, "Very Hard") 0/1
Description
As long Chloe is alive, Dark Nephilim will come back from different dimensions. Let's bring the Dark Nephilim Summoning Instrument from the Southern Gate to Grail.
Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Grail: I didn't know Dark Elf Chloe is able to summon superior Demons. The Demon world and our realm are separated by time and space. Even if we defeat Dark Nephilim, Chloe will summon another one from a different dimension.
Vanessa: Grail, are you saying it's impossible to defeat Dark Nephilim?
Grail: No, there's a way. Summoning something from another dimension requires a medium. Chloe must have used some item related to Dark Nephilim to create a summoning pentagram. Please bring those items to me. I can use them to sever the connection between Dark Nephilim and this world.
Quest Completion Dialogue
Grail: Okay, this is enough. Once I cut ties between Dark Nephilim and this world, he won't be able to come back ever again.
Noel: Adventurers, Centurion Vanessa is looking for you. You should go to her.
Noel: Hey you- Vanessa is looking for you. You should go to her.
Quest Completion Dialogue
Vanessa: Welcome. I've been expecting you. With your help, we of the Velder Garrison were able to gather at this refugee camp. Thank you. I asked you to come because I wanted to remind you of our second task. Since we successfully accomplished the first task--gathering and reorganizing the Velder Garrison--it's time to move on to the second task. And I can't do it without you.
Vanessa: As you know, we've sent letters to the Red Knights stationed across the continent. None of the messengers have returned and there are no signs of the knights. I hate to ask, but would you deliver this letter to the Red Knights for us? Please help us.
Eve: Awaiting clarification.
Vanessa: As you know, we've sent letters to the Red Knights stationed across the continent. None of the messengers have returned and there are no signs of the knights. I hate to ask, but would you deliver this letter to the Red Knights for us? Please help us.
Chung: How can I help you?
Vanessa: As you know, we've sent letters to the Red Knights stationed across the continent. None of the messengers have returned and there are no signs of the knights. I hate to ask, but would you deliver this letter to the Red Knights for us? Please help us.
Elesis: The Red Knights have been dispatched on a mission...Did you approve the retreat?
Vanessa: Yes, that's right!! Do you remember your S.O.S. to request support to the Red Knights, the strongest troop in the kingdom? None of the messengers have returned and there are no signs of the knights. I hate to mention it but is it possible for you to take request this message by going there yourself? Please help us.
Add: Keke..I think I know what you want to say..but let's have a listen anyway.
Vanessa: As you know, we have sent a letter of distress and a request for Red Knights assistance. None of the messengers have returned and there are no signs of the knights. I hate to ask..but would you be able to join the dispatch army to Hamel. I'm alittle concerned that the port of Hamel is already occupied with demons by now. I trust that your services will be successful results. Thank you again for your courage.
Lu: Your majesty already knows what you're going to ask... however, I will listen to what you have to say.
Vanessa: As you know, we have sent a letter of distress and a request for Red Knights assistance. None of the messengers have returned and there are no signs of the knights. I hate to ask, but would you be able to join the dispatch party to Hamel. I'm alittle concerned that the port of Hamel is already occupied with demons by now.
