The Ice Lich expected at least some of Hell's forces to come to his aid, to Rufus' aid in all reality. However, one by one, it seems as everyone seemed to decline the offer. It came as a mild surprise to Ghelgath as he was sure that at least the majority would step with him. Then again, compared to everyone here, he's the outsider. Everyone here is fire-based for the most part, while he was simply an ice demon. Everyone just stepped back, all but one. Sliske, Ira's now proclaimed "champion", turned to issue a confident smirk, stating as much as he would like to fuck the queen up, that the majority sided with her and henceforth he won't be as foolish this time. As he rose into the air, the demon ripped open a portal revealing his own prepared force. It seemed as if he was ready for such a conflict. His forces were indeed powerful, but nothing Ghelgath hasn't seen before.
Sliske declared his loyalty to Ira and gave the Lich King one last warning to surrender or face his wrath, with dark energy pulsing from his fist. Both forces were equally sized, and arguably equally matched. The ice from Ghel's army can withstand great temperatures and are incapable of melting. Their ice powers can even freeze fire depending on the attack. Physical damage can only knock these opponents down. Now it all depends on the commander of each force. Whoever wins can take the place of Ira, or perhaps knock down Ira. Meanwhile, the Queen nonchalantly told them to finish it up quickly. And she wasn't worried about the return of Rufus? Something seemed suspicious. But Ghelgath wasn't going to back down. His two fists pulsated into cold-blue flames, the burning sensation of frost-burn fueling his strength and power.
"Tsk tsk tsk," he taunts as he spat on the floor,
"A shame that you can't see the bigger picture Sliske ole' pal. Even if you defeat me, Rufus will be coming back here at any moment. And by hell will he be back with a vengeance."With a powerful stomp of his foot, the entire ground floor (minus the throne or anywhere that is blocked by stairs) was covered in ice. Holding his Lich Axe, he points it at Silske with a sneer.
"Let's see how long til' you get frostbite shall we?" Ghelgath says one last time.
And then, with a snap of his fingers, the army charges at their opponents. The frigid soldiers make up the first front, some just wielding swords, with some wielding shields, along with the regular incubi, succubi and imps as they charged in first. The second front supports the first front by giving in covering fire, wielding lobs of frozen blobs that completely freeze an opponent upon impact. And some ride on the backs of the giant Ice Golems that make up the last and third front as they bash into the ground revealing giant ice spikes from the ground. The Ice Sergeant follows Ghelgath as he too charges into the battlefield. If Silske is going to retain his position of allegiance to Ira, he'll have to fight on the Ice Lich's front.
