Chapter 275 - Beginning of the Invasion (Earth) (3)

“Good day, Colonel Naitel. Report on the current situation.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. We are currently in progress of cleaning out the area up to a two-kilometer radius to ensure a safe perimeter. We do not know what danger lies ahead. You have to be careful, Your Majesty.”

Joonbum nodded as Lieutenant Colonel Naitel continued his briefing.

“The group that arrived earlier is in the process of clearing. Do you remember that building, Your Majesty?”

Joonbum turned to the direction Naitel had pointed out.

“How can I forget?”

It was the building Joonbum used to use before he moved over. It was full of traces from the past years. He noted with interest that it was full of spider webs, and Naitel quickly sated his curiosity.

“That building was the dwelling of the Arachne. That’s why it is full of spider webs. However, we are using it to our advantage.”

“Advantage?”

“That is correct, Your Majesty. Because of the Arachne, the number of monsters in this area is very low. It makes it easier to clear out the area.”

“Is hunting the Arachne easy?”

“It is a powerful monster, Your Majesty. But that doesn’t make it any harder for us to handle with our weapons. We can deal with them using poison and fire.”

“Oh?”

Jinpok was curious and Naitel tensed up, but he continued on.

“The spiderwebs are their strength, but also their weakness.”

People nodded as they understood what Naitel was trying to say. As they were listening, more soldiers came through.

The newly arrived forces quickly moved to their stations as the leaders of the foreign countries were astonished by their orderly movements.

“This is astonishing. This is why the empire is number one in the world.”

“Hmph! The members from the other countries are shocked too. We can do this when we try.”

“Do you think so? We might, but you don’t need to reassure me.”

People from the foreign kingdoms had sent a mishmash of armies, largely comprised of civilian militia or criminals. To the side, were people shouting, their entire bodies wrapped in white clothes. They were the ones who took care of the food supply for the army.

“Look at them! That’s the Sadiu Army! Is that what they got? After all their hard work, their job to look after animals?”

“Hahaha! Look! It’s a fitting job for those fools.”

Some people scoffed at the Sadiu Army coming through the Gate that brought animals with them. However, there were others who watched them with envy.

“Sadiu will be the next kingdom to rise.”

“I know. It’s rumored that Chancellor Jackson is behind this.”

“Chancellor Jackson?”

“Yes. Don’t you know one of his sons married a Sadiu princess?”

“Oh, yes, I did hear about that. But, would THAT Jackson make such a decision because of his son?”

“No, but he will favor the Sadius at least. The rest is because of what the Sadiu King did.”

“Is there a way for us to try that out too?”

“No. Jackson won’t consider it lightly, sir.”

“Hmmph.”

The empire was now the number one country in their world. Without it, there was no hope of surviving and the establishing of the empire brought about such peace that never existed before.

“Sadiu will have a good future ahead of them.”

“They will get a tremendous amount of money from this.”

“We have to befriend Sadiu.”

“Yeah. But for now, we should focus on what we can bring back from here. I have brought all kinds of liquor to sell. We will be importing it through the Gate for a year, but I’ll have prepared this place so that we can create it here.”

“That’s good.”

“What about you?”

“I have a supply of women from the Palembang Kingdom.”

“Women? Are you serious?”

“Yes. I have ten thousand women.”

“Isn’t that dangerous? Khalodian is very strict about that kind of business.”

“Yes, I will abide by their rules. I am paying them with the wages that Khalodian will approve of.”

“I see.”

These were war merchants. War was where the money was and it didn’t change even if the war was in another world.
