253 Defense of Lown Peak (1/2)
”That is Lown Peak, Your Majesty.”
Lown Peak was the highest peak within Khalodian Mountain. The harsh landform contained permanent snow, even throughout the summers.
”Wow, look how many we have.”
”This would be a good place to defend.”
Joonbum spoke, nodding to Jinpok's comment. There were countless soldiers and tents stationed in the area, but the problem was the giant monsters that took much more than mere spears and arrows.
”Yes, Your Majesty. Anyone who enters this region cannot simply walk out of this place in one piece. The highest peaks near Lown surround this valley and we will trap them.”
People turned to the voice and a young man walked out of the tent. Joonbum looked at him curiously and spoke his name.
”Jorge Duvall?”
”Your Majesty.”
Everyone was surprised. Jorge Duvall was a promising young genius who was gaining fame within the Khalodian Empire Army.
”Oh, is that Field Marshall Jorge Duvall?”
”Isn't he too young?”
”He was chosen out of the thousands of other competition.”
People seemed to be astonished at the famed man himself.
”It's been a while.”
”Yes, Your Majesty.”
”Shall we hear what you have to say, then?”
”Yes, Your Majesty.”
Jorge then looked around and began to explain.
”This is a natural fortress. Nothing is better than this place. We will utilize this place and keep the peace of the continent no matter the cost. If we let those monsters break through our defense line here, our world is doomed. There will be nowhere else for us to defend. If we have to bring our fight back to the capital, the consequences will be dire.”
Jorge spoke to everyone. He paused for a second for people to follow and continued.
”First of all, we will be using various poisons to conserve our new weapons and firepowder.”
”Oh!”
”Poison?”
”Will it work?”
