Chapter 140: Kalusia’s Border Wall
A little over a month had passed since we healed the first lesser demon, and by now, we had managed to clear most of the desert from the Kalusia forces, who had retreated back to their territory behind their borders.
The prince of the Droman Empire had joined the battle a few weeks prior and was leading a group in a different spot of the desert, so I hadn’t gotten to meet him yet.
Our forces were split into three large groups. The ones led by the prince covering the southern side, the Aridonia army holding the north, and our group went through the center, led by Empress Lyssandra and having a mix of both armies together.
Most of the soldiers that we cured of their curse decided to join us in the fight to retake their country, which was commendable considering what they had gone through.
During that time, I got to learn the enchantment that Melina used on the black pearls and was able to make my own golden pearls to heal the lesser demons.
However, we had only cured about fifteen of them, which was nothing compared to how many there were.
The problem was that the black pearls weren’t easy to find. All the ones we saw we took from soldiers before they could ingest them.
Now that we were closer to their border, I wondered if we could locate one of the small towns that the healed beastkin told us about, where they had ample supplies of black pearls.
Thinking of a new plan, I called upon Rio and Lampart, who were members of the Dawn’s Defenders and were supposedly the best at discreet operations.
