Chapter 290: At Tyrellme Encampment
New chapter of The Demon King is out! (1/2 chapters)
Emperor Year 2325, September 10th.
I had led the army to a place called Tiefland, in the central region of Tyrellme. The Shalta Kingdom’s expeditionary force of 30,000 was filled with a unique sense of anticipation on the eve of what was likely the decisive battle. Our formation consisted of the Hou Household’s army, the Royal Guard, and the Kilghina army, which had finally finished its training and was led by Gin Toga. The Royal Guard was commanded by the parent-child duo Galla and Dolla, while the Hou Household’s army was led by Dimitri Daz.
Currently, their lieutenants and strategists, as well as other large numbers of troops, were gathered in an Isus Church. However, they were not here to pray. The church was simply the largest room in the village, making it the best place to hold this gathering. The pews, usually used for worship, had been moved aside to create a large open space. In the middle, two large tavern tables had been placed together. This was likely to be the final war council we could hold in peace before tomorrow’s chaotic events began.
“It feels strange to have reached the heart of the enemy’s territory without encountering any battles.” (Dimitri)
Dimitri said in a relaxed tone.
“We’ve been playing a game of territorial capture until now. It does feel weird, like placing a piece in the middle of the enemy’s territory in a board game where you’re not supposed to.” (Yuri)
“Yes, that’s exactly it.” (Dimitri)
“But the territorial game is over. Until now, we’ve been fighting to reclaim the lost lands of the Shantilla Great Empire. From here on, it’s a battle to bring a thousand years of peace to our homeland.” (Yuri)
