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.
"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.
"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."
