Gate: Thus the Sorcerous Kingdom Fought There

CHAPTER 19: Aftermath, Politics of the Mounteback

Several days have passed since the horrible demonic invasion of Jaldabaoth. The demon emperor and his servants brought great calamity upon the capital of the Saderan Empire.

Even now, the rogue demonic forces the Demonic Emperor left behind in his retreat roamed through the landscapes, terrorising, consuming and killing everyone who they could reach.

Scattered, right, but not less deadly and even more dangerous without their master's leash around their neck. If angels were hard to control, demons were even worse. One little slip and they could go berserk or worse, turn against their own summoners.

Burying themselves deep in the ground, using their wings to fly far away, hiding in the shadows. Some of their ground speed reached more than one hundred km/h. With such physical capabilities and now controlled by their own bestial instincts of self-preservation...

They either banding together in smaller packs under the leadership of a stronger demon, hiding, waiting the best moment to stalk an unsuspecting prey or merely raiding caravans using their superior strength and agility.

Even now, the hunt still ongoing. All three sides participated in the raid. The Sorcerous Kingdom, the JSDF and the Empire as well did it's best to contribute the cause, defend the home soil from those vicious creatures.

More and more adventurer teams started to flow in the direction of the Capital, hearing the news of the great destruction in the wake of the beast, seeking to find fortune.

A demonic invasion meant free targets, free fledgelings to hunt, and most importantly, secure money for the professional adventurers.

Easy money that hard to come by nowadays as less and less area remained uncovered in the map of the Sorcerous Kingdom, less and less threat and treasure lies uncovered.

The Adventurer's Guild in the Kingdom offered a vast amount of money for trophies, and such decorations usually brought fame and prosperity for the hunters who recovered them.

Naturally, professional hunter units also roamed the ground and the skies. Trained directly to seek and eliminate dangerous opponents like demonic beasts. Wearing both heavy, medium and light cloth armour.

One of these militarised units consisted the order that was specialised the hunt of the demonic elements. The Paladin Order of the Sorcerous Kingdom, the order only called; Dawnblade.

The Knights of the order rigorously trained and equipped by heavily enchanted gear just to find and exterminate demonic entities.

The order of Dawnblade back in the kingdom quite famous, its Highlord possessed great power, trained by Shalltear and the Supreme Highlord itself by the Sorcerer King's orders.

The organisation also owned several fortified forts and a great deal of financial support. Although, in the recent years this support seemed to diminish a little bit as less and less threat started to appear on the radar.

As the high brass said; they needed to reorganise the resources elsewhere... usual excuse to rob the order of its rising power.

Although every member of the organisation received training to able to ride at least one kind of ground or flying mount, they received an order from the Highlord himself to help out the JSDF and the Empire if needed.

Namely, the brass of the JSDF decided to send reinforcements to help with the hunt. Because of this, the JSDF requested the help of the experts from the Sorcerous Kingdom.

The decision to seek the opinion and the help of the professionals those dealt with such Supernatural threat was reasonable. The percentage of demonic encounters back in Earth closing to zero, even less when it comes to the self-defensive division.
