"Huh?" I was completely caught off guard when I heard this.
Taking a moment to gather myself, I said, "We already know that the demons are invading, that was why I went to gather more allies, right?"
The prime minister and the chancellor still had grim looks on their faces, which showed me that this situation wasn't what I thought it was. So I waited for them to explain to me what this meant.
"It's not just that, they've reached the Brightness Kingdom." The prime minister finally said in a heavy voice.
"Huh?" I was once again completely caught off guard by this.
The Brightness Kingdom was one of the kingdoms that bordered our kingdom.
That meant that since the demons had reached the Brightness Kingdom, they were basically on our doorsteps.
But how did the demons come this far into the territory of the humans?
