Another three weeks passed.

Once every three days, the demons will send an army of 100,000 towards the capital city, and the battle will commence. The demons continue to attack from the east, and they keep on sending powerful demon commanders that ready to self-destruct in their every attack.

But even though they attacked the capital city with an army, the villages and cities at the Galhala Kingdom’s outskirts are also constantly get attacked by tens or hundreds of demons. But with Druid Oz’s familiars and the noble’s soldiers collaborating, they successfully guard every city and village of the Galhala Kingdom.

Every morning, Claria will patrol to each wall to look at the soldiers. To make sure they could arrive quickly every time there will be an attack, the soldiers no longer trained at the royal training ground, and train at their own respective barrack’s training grounds.

With Druid Oz’s summoned insects looking out the kingdom, they could ready for any battles at any time. Druid Oz will notify the kingdom whenever there will be an attack, letting the soldiers be prepared beforehand.

The casualties at the Galhala kingdom’s side haven’t passed 10 in number, but that’s not the problem Druid Oz and the Galhala King are concerned about.

“The question is until when will we hold out like this, huh…” Muttered the Galhala king.

Because of the large-scale attacks that the demons had been launching towards the Galhala Kingdom, the Galhala King once again summoned all of the generals and nobles of the kingdom to discuss about what action the kingdom will take.

Since there is no internal strife of power inside the Galhala kingdom, the Galhala King could calmly open the current state of the kingdom to the nobles without hiding anything. 

“The house of Liamore are ready to march and face the demons, my king. With your order, my soldiers will immediately march and slay those demons” said one of the nobles.

The demonic cores inside the demons are precious. They could be used to make magical weapons, armors, and items. And not only that, they are used for other purposes as well. The demonic mana residing inside the magic core could also serve as a source of energy to power up a magic ship or a golem. Because of that, the nobles are even eager to fight the demons and obtain their magical cores to strengthen their territories.

“I’m glad to hear that, Duke Liamore. But we haven’t confirmed where the demons made their base. Since it’s too risky to send a scout, we’ll be waiting for the result of my future son’s familiars’ investigation,” Replied the Galhala King.

“I see. So Lord Ren is the one investigating the base of the demons, huh? That’s reassuring!” said one of the generals.

The Galhala Kingdom has 5 generals, and Claria had just become the supreme general by the Galhala King’s decree two weeks before. Since the other generals knew how competent and strong Claria is, they gladly accept her as their superior.

“Indeed. The general princess’s fiance never failed our expectations, after all,”

“True. I still think that he should take one of my daughters to be his mistress, though,”

“You need someone in the same or at least near the general princess’s caliber to be able to get close to him, you know?”

“Well, indeed…”

“Now, going back to the topic,” said the Galhala King as the nobles started to chatter with each other because Druid Oz’s name got mentioned.

“It will be just a matter of time before he found the base of the demons. So for the first advance, I will appoint Duke Liamore and Duke Mollan to handle and command the first attack on the demon’s base. Are there any objections?” (Galhala King)

“””None!”””

“Then please prepare your warriors as fast as you could. The other nobles could feel free to give aid towards the dukes, the royal army will also send some of our warriors to aid your attack,” (The Galhala King)

************************************

For days, Druid Oz had been stretching his summoned insects search for the demonic base. He let the summoned insects enter every cave and every dark place and search in great detail.

Even though the number of the summoned insects got increased much more than before, there are also much more casualties on them because of the battles with the demons.

With Claria’s help, Druid Oz could understand the map of the Eastaria continent even better since Claria used to go outside the kingdom when handling some of the kingdom’s external affairs. And since Claria is now living together with Druid Oz at the late general’s house, she could help Druid Oz every time she didn’t look after her soldiers.

And after searching painstakingly for days, Druid Oz finally found out where the demons are.

“This is…” Druid Oz muttered in shock.

“What is it, Ren?” Asked Claria.

“I found it,” (Druid Oz)

“You found what?” (Claria)

“The demons’ base… They are at the Griftania empire’s imperial capital… I caught a glimpse of a horde of demons there… But I couldn’t see anything more since my summoned insects died because of the intense demonic mana at that place… But I’m sure it is… They are at the Griftania empire’s imperial capital!!” (Druid Oz)

“I’ll go tell father and mother!” said Claria as she rushed outside the house and transformed into her owl form before flying towards the royal palace.

“She’s sure diligent, huh…” Muttered Druid Oz with a wry smile.

“Now… Let’s continue the scouting…” Druid Oz closed his eyes.

He had lost 30 infernal mosquitos that scouted the imperial capital of the Griftania empire because of the terrifyingly dense amount of demonic mana running on the air.

So this time, he’s going to transfer a part of his mana to help the next squad of infernal mosquitos and instruct them to cover themselves in a fire barrier that they could make.

“Now proceed,” (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz commanded the next squad of infernal mosquitos to enter the imperial capital of the Griftania empire. After a while, the scene of countless demons idly standing and staring at the imperial castle entered Druid Oz’s view.

“That number… It’s more than hundreds of thousands… And the one holding the absolute command must be residing inside that imperial capital, huh…” (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz instructed his infernal mosquitos to enter the imperial palace, but when they about to get near it.

!!??

“They died!? What is that red-colored wall… Is that a barrier…?” (Druid Oz)

When the infernal mosquitos about to get near, the infernal mosquitos got burnt into cinders by a red-colored barrier and died.

“Tsk! I guess I’ll try sending a group of frost bees next,” (Druid Oz)

With the remaining infernal mosquitos of the second group’s member, Druid Oz observes the army of demons inside the imperial capital.

“They have not demonized magic beasts or Owlfolks…” (Druid Oz)

The demons that are standing idly outside the imperial castle of the Griftania empire are obviously demons coming from the demon realm. They didn’t have any characteristic of any beasts, and the thick demonic mana they’re emitting is definite proof of their identity as demons.

But something bothered Druid Oz.

A normal demon usually has an intelligence higher than a magical beast, but the demons that are waiting outside the imperial castle of the Griftania empire are just staring at the imperial castle with an absent-minded look as if they are brainwashed.

Druid Oz tries to command another group of infernal mosquitos and kill one of the demons using it. But after the demon died, a shocking sight caught Druid Oz in surprise.

“T-They’re eating it!?” (Druid Oz)

The other demons in its surroundings immediately jumped and devour the demon that Druid Oz’s infernal mosquitos just killed. They pushed and brutally struggle with each other to eat the corpse of the demon that just got killed.

And after they finished eating the corpse, they went back to their position and continue to stare at the imperial castle of the Griftania empire. The corpse of the demon that Druid Oz’s infernal mosquitos just killed vanished, not even a trace of blood and a single bone could be seen.

Looking at the scene, Druid Oz shocked, relieved, but breaks a sweat as well. It means that the reason why the kingdoms he investigated before didn’t have any corpses on them is that the demons that attacked it ate the corpses to the point that they didn’t leave a single bone or blood.

And at the same time, it means that those kingdoms’ citizens and soldiers didn’t turn into a demon as Druid Oz worried before. But at the same time, Druid Oz sensed that the demons that just ate the corpse got the demonic mana inside them increased slightly.

And after taking another look, Druid Oz realized that the strength of the demons here is on a whole different level.

“This will be a hard fight indeed…” (Druid Oz)
