Overgeared

The emergence of the great demons had something in common—there was no precursor. The great demons always appeared abruptly and were disasters, causing numerous casualties. This was why the world was turned upside down by this situation. Could humanity only watch helplessly as the great demons destroyed their kingdoms? Five great demons appeared at the same time? How were they supposed to deal with this?

People were baffled by the world messages. They couldn’t figure out what to do. This was when Basara became the focal point.

“I’m different from the emperors of the past.”

The greatest strength of the Saharan Empire lay in its vast territory and its billions of people. The empire’s vision spanned almost every part of the continent. It wasn’t a waste of money and manpower for the empire to manage over 50 borders. The empire’s ability to collect, gather, and disseminate what was happening on the continent in real time was unmatched.

The five great demons were discovered by the empire the moment they left Talima and crossed the volcanic zone. The scouts of the empire that existed in various forms were now following the great demons. The information they sent back was being spread across the continent by Empress Basara. This was in contrast to the emperors of the past, who despised and neglected the great demons’ invasion.

That’s right—Basara dreamed of harmony and politics that focuses only on the empire wasn’t her purpose. She knew that living with the other kingdoms and races, moving forward together was the way to lead the Millennium Empire.

‘This disaster... it is an opportunity to bring harmony to all.’

The empire had too many sins in its long history. There were an overwhelming number of people who doubted or loathed Basara when she advocated unity. The victims and stunned witnesses still didn’t trust her. However, Basara believed she could change it.This was why she went directly to the front lines. She wanted to introduce herself to the world, make her true heart known, and protect the world with everyone.

“We have been able to avoid the worst case scenario thanks to King Grid’s expedition against the Berserk King. There are sections where the path of the Berserk King is expected to overlap with the paths of the other great demons. We have avoided needing to deal with more than one great demon at once.”

Basara’s heart was greatly overwhelmed. She felt something as majestic as the day when she saw an exceptionally high sky. She was impressed by Grid’s insight that saw the core of the Berserk King just by looking at the path of the Berserk King’s march. Basara felt that Grid really was the great man who changed the empire. Today, she especially missed him.

‘13 minutes. You only need to buy time for 13 minutes.’

The empire gathered all the ready-to-maneuver troops. They even deployed the imperial guards to the front lines. Moreover, all the magicians and scholars led by the great magicians were gathered to make the Reverse Summoning magic circle.

That was two days ago. According to the scholars’ predictions, the time remaining until the completion of the Reverse Summoning magic circle was only two hours. However, that very same two hours also meant it was 13 minutes after the Berserk King’s scheduled arrival.

“Look here.”

In the barracks where the leaders of various kingdoms were gathered...

Basara pointed to one side of the map. It was the path that the Berserk King was taking and there was a small fortress there. “Henlutu Fortress of the Arc Kingdom. The magicians of the empire are gathering there to install the Reverse Summoning magic circle.”

“The Reverse Summoning magic circle...?” Duke Jinteri of the Glaucian Kingdom dared to ask a question.

He had felt strange since the beginning when he led the Glaucian Kingdom’s army at the command of his king who couldn’t refuse the emperor’s call to overthrow the great demons together. The ambassador of the empire had issued a memorandum that said ‘fight against the great demons and overcome the world’s crisis together’ but instead of an order, it said ‘please.’ The empire also expressed their thanks to the nobles and armies of the ‘small kingdoms’ who joined the battlefield.

of a total of 11 nations, including the Saharan Empire and the Overgeared Kingdom, nodded with determination. Seeing this scene, Basara smiled and her somewhat anxious eyes shifted to those sitting on the right. The representatives of nine races, including orcs, elves, short green people with red eyes, a short-legged person with a hunched back, etc, all stared at her
