I Become Master of Danger Zones as Incubus With Mastery In Genetic

While Alros are having fun at the border of the Kingdom, in the capital of Astor Kingdom, a group of powerful people convened due to the sudden assault on the border.

The King of Astor Kingdom, Eskol Astor looked at the elites gathered for the meeting, one that could decide the safety of the Kingdom.

From his remaining Generals, to the most powerful Noble Family in the Kingdom, they are all gathered to discuss of what action to tale against the threat of the demon, and the incoming monsters.

"Everyone had arrive, your Majesty." his most trusted warrior, the Captain of Royal Guard, Bernhardt exclaimed.

He nodded as he ensure everyone already in place.

"Very well," satisfied with what he see, he start the meeting. "We are going to discuss the appropriate action to take against the upcoming invasion of monsters."

The room went silent, as they looked at the King with upmost seriousness.

"Your Majesty, my force already scout ahead to perform aid to General Soren before we are forced to retreat." General Lanki, the General of South Army said.

"And why do you order the retreat?" the King asked, not admonishing the main, as he knew the man's credibility and he will not issue an order without any reason.

"We are in danger of being intercepted by another monster horde, a different one to the one that attack Fort Soren." the General said with a serious tone.

"A different horde? There are more monsters?" Duke Carn, the head of Loitte Familly asked.

"Yes. I have send some more scouts, and manage to learn there should be 4 to 5 hordes, including the one that destroy the Border Army." General Lanki continued while answering the Duke's question.

"Is that so?" the King said with a troubled tone. From the sound of it, he did not expect another compilation in the form of other monster hordes, yet here they are. Then again, none of meeting's participants anticipate it as well.

"So, there are more monsters. Wonderful. Are the soldiers prepared for such engagement?" the Crown Prince, Runard Astor asked.

"The soldiers are prepared, at least the standing armies. As for the Noble Armies," General Lanki gave pointed look to the representative of the Noble Families.

"We are preparing our forces as well. Though don't expert it would be easy. No Noble Families would send their armies to help in the war unless the monster hordes come close to threatening their territory." Duke Carn reminded the others.

"As to be expected by a bunch of Nobles, you bunch of greedy dogs," General Pharrell, the leader of North Army spat out.

"Why you, and you so great, you bunch of warmonger?" Duke Lorn, head of Stirlay Family asked.

Soon, it devolve into a verbal battle between the Noble and Army factions. The King shook his head as the Bernhardt slammed his foot down, causing the argument to stop.

"Do not fight in the presence of the King." he warned them, glaring at the Dukes and Generals.

They nodded, though glares were still exchanged between them. The King could feel a headache forming, hoping it won't cause more trouble for his side, though he knew it would not likely happen.

The gap between the Noble and Army seem to widen as time goes on. While he could not destroy the animosity, he could at least stop it from spiraling down into the Abyss of Civil War.

"What about the adventurers? I assume they will assist us." the King turned towards his eldest child, the one he send to contact the Guild beforehand.

"They will help, though they reminded while some adventurers will fight without any incentives, most would ask for rewards as this is far beyond what they are used to." Runard answered his father.

"Better than nothing. I will prepare a contract with the Adventure Guild after this. But first, I want to know the preparation you have made." the King looked at the Generals and Dukes, hoping they are ready for the invasion of monsters.

"The villages and towns close to the border had been evacuated early on as we commit to our retreat. We move them near big cities but it's not a perfect measure as there will be lack of space, not to mention the refugees will have no way to feed themselves.

We already paid for their food, but everything else would depend in themselves." General Lanki answered.

"The Nobles had been warned, and about half of the Nobles already prepared themselves. From arming the Noble Armies under them, to calling the commoners to be trained as militia along with building more fortifications, that is all what we can do for now." Duke Carn answered on the behalf of other Nobles.

"Good enough at the moment. General Lanki, your Army will be stationed near the border. Your duty is to observe the hordes and help defend the eastern territories. The other armies will be moved closer to the border as well, but slightly further away unless you request for assistance.

The same will hold true for the Noble Armies. Move those that have territory close to the border to assist the defense of our current border.

Disobeying will be treated as treason and the penalty would be death. Understood?"

"Sir, yes sir!" the higher-ups answered with vigor.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Excellent. Now, made your preparation. We need to be for what is to come."

After the meeting, the King head towards his balcony, inhaling the crisp cold air of the night. As he watched the bustling city, he heard footstep of his beloved.

"Alicia," he called out without turning around.

"Eskal, are you preparing for the monsters?" his queen asked, her arms dropped around his shoulder.

"I already did all I could without going straight to battle itself. Maybe I will head towards the battlefield in the future but for now, I need to ensure I survive and the Kingdom would remain by the end of this war." Eskal said calmly as he turned his head towards his beloved queen.

They soon shared a kiss, before the woman lead her King and husband to the bed, where debauchery soon follow.

"Gragghk!"

Alros looked at Gobruk with raised brows.

"It seem Astor Kingdom began to react to our action. I wonder what they will do when they learn there are more monsters than the could ever hope to best."
