271 Crusade to Demon World 1 (1/2)
”We'll finally be there… in their world.”
The two men stood proud with vicious smiles.
”Yes. We'll finally have a chance for vengeance.”
The others who stood nearby also gave vicious grins.
”Hey, Hawk! Did you hear? We can finally avenge our mother!”
”Yes! And our friends!”
A large bell sounded, and a man's thick voice was broadcast from a speaker.
-We are now finished with the minimum required amount for the Demon World invasion. We thank you for your support and hard work. The emperor sends his royal family's special whiskey and highest grade wine as your reward. Also, we have food prepared for us by our Great Mother in the great hall. You can now stop work and come to the hall-
Everyone cheered in excitement. But it wasn't due to the food or drinks, or even the rewards.
”WE'RE DONE! THE INVASION WILL BEGIN!”
”IT'S TIME FOR REVENGE!”
People shouted with joy.
”Sir, everyone's excited.”
”Yes. It's the day that everyone has been waiting for.”
”Yes, sir. It's already been nine years.”
”Right. It has been a long wait.”
It had been a long wait indeed. After the Gate opened nine years ago, people fought hard against the monsters unleashed upon them. The empire was well prepared for monsters and kept its people safe and sound, but the other kingdoms weren't. They did not heed the empire's warnings and that resulted in their kingdoms left in ruins from the monster rampage.
The small towns and villages were abandoned by the nobles and their kings and they were left to protect their own from the monsters running rampant. But they were helpless against the horrific monsters.
