279 Beginning of the Invasion Earth 4 (1/2)
”The empire's creation of liquor is amazing.”
”Isn't it because of them?”
”No. The empire was ahead of its time even before them. But they helped speed it up. They helped advance many areas. The most interesting thing is their education.”
”R-really?”
The middle-aged man nodded and looked at the people who came from the emperor's homeworld.
”Do you see him? Black hair, brown eyes. He's one of the people from the Emperor's homeworld. We will come across many of them. As far as I know, there are a huge number of them out there.”
People were confused by what he said, and so the middle-aged man lowered his voice and continued, ”The emperor's homeworld has advanced technology. What do you think it will happen when we acquire those people? It would be impossible under normal circumstances, but this place is in chaos. What if we save those people?”
”Oh!”
”Then…!”
”Yes. People from other countries are trying to do that as well.”
”Those fools. I wondered why they joined the war.”
”Do you think the empire is too naïve to not think about the possibility?”
”No. There are eyes all over the place.”
”Oh.”
”We can't hide anything from Khalodian here.”
The merchants agreed with each other. They valued information above all, and it was Khalodian that held all the information in the world.
”Khalodian is a scary place.”
”Yes. But they are not tyrants.”
”Yes, that is fortunate.”
As the merchants continued discussing with each other, people walked out of the Gate and headed to their stations.
Joonbum stopped as he heard a distant growl. He raised a hand as soldiers turned their weapons in that direction. Something shot up into the sky.
”Whoa.”
”It's big!”
Jinpok spat out in shock and Joonbum was equally astonished. It was a weird animal he had never seen before on Earth.
”It's really huge. Since when did Earth have such a thing?”
It was a black bird with a wingspan of ten meters. One flap of its wings caused a gale as the bird screeched and flew away.
'So, Earth is a monster world now. It's good that we came here. What would've happened if all of those monsters passed through the Gate into Khalodian?”
It was definitely fortunate for them. If those monster birds were to come through, there was no way to stop them with the defensive walls constructed around the Gate.
That was just a small issue, the bird was actually one of the smaller ones. There were some beasts that could be easily considered as dragons.
