Book 14: Chapter 4 (3)
Shortly before the outer walls were destroyed and monsters started spawning in Erkunt…
Something abnormal happened inside the royal palace.
Most soldiers were gathered in the training grounds, separated into platoons, to check their equipment. They were all nervous, some of them confused.
“To think that there were other devils…”
“Could it be that the institute was keeping it hidden? If so, then the staff is…”
All soldiers on stand-by were whispering.
Just when everyone in the palace was relieved by the news of Avaritia’s defeat, another piece of news had arrived. All palace workers and especially the soldiers were shaken.
They had to fight with mere swords and spears against a beast that could level entire cities. No matter how many they were, they could never hope to match it.
There weren’t enough anti-devil weapons to supply the whole army.
