Reaching the kingdom of Elves closest to Bastion City, Khalor was surprised to see how relaxed the Elvish people were calm, given the invasion happening in their forests. But, with how many adventurers seemed to go to and from the city gates, he assumed something kicked them into action.
'They reacted earlier than last time. Was it because of Leon? Or the ambassador, maybe?'
It mattered little to him, but it wasn't bad. The more able-bodied people were still alive the actual invasion started, the better position they would be in to fight it back.
For now, the demon forces crossing over should still be minimal. And the larger kingdoms should have no issue beating them back.
The issue lay in the smaller kingdoms, and the ones still budding. It was a miracle that the kingdom they had just established before the ten-year time skip was still standing.
