The Empire possessed a vast territory.

They had expanded their borders slowly over time, with the original settlers having established themselves in the wide plains.

Even though cities and villages were built, it was a difficult task to fill the entire plains. There had been no need to do so in the first place.

As a result, the Empire had many plains nestled between its territories. Some of these plains even bordered the Ruern Kingdom, a kingdom that had now fallen into ruin.

Upon hearing the news that a demon was approaching one of these plains, the subjugation team had already gathered there in advance.

Murmuring.

Countless people had gathered in one place. Empire knights, their soldiers, the forces of the kingdom that had lost its land and now burned with a thirst for revenge, and even a group of adventurers from other worlds.

With some forces from neighboring kingdoms also joining in, the crowd was surprisingly large, even though they had gathered hastily.

Having seen Belled before, there was a sense of ominous tension among the soldiers. Refugees from Ruern had done their best to spread the fear of the demon.

After all, the kingdom had fallen in just two days. It was bound to have a profound impact.

Seeing this, the second and fifth knights’ commanders shook their heads.

“This doesn’t look good. Momentum is half the battle, and they’re already scared.”

“They’ve been listening to useless talk from the refugees. The demon will arrive soon. Tch.”@@novelbin@@

Given the situation, both commanders of the knights had joined the subjugation. There wasn’t time for more, as the third and fourth knights had already been dispatched to the fallen Ruern Kingdom.

“Ugh, just yesterday I was flirting with a good-looking refugee. Now look at this mess…”

“Enough with the chatter, make a plan. Odelia.”

“Alright, I’ll boost the morale of the scared ones. Serena, you handle the strategy for the soldiers. You’re good at that.”

Perhaps it was because the two commanders had gathered, but the order was maintained. Those who were overly frightened were encouraged by the second commander, while Serena formed battle lines to prevent confusion.
