"R-really?"

"Yeah. I'm taking a Khalodian s.h.i.+p at the Seirati River at end of this plain. It moves out to the sea and then I can take the s.h.i.+p there again to Khalodian."

"Won't it cost a lot?"

"Yeah, it will take everything I have, but I heard they provide you with everything you need if you get there. You can get a job, farmland, a house… gotta get out of this h.e.l.lhole for our kids."

The entire world was in dire need of help against the monsters. There were many countries where their capitals had fallen, and even some countries had already been destroyed. The land that the humans occupied had become less and less as the areas occupied by monsters kept expanding. However, there were still regions that were relatively safe.

To the west was a vast desert area. Countries that were inside that desert were safe from monster attacks as monsters did not venture into such a harsh environment. This made desert countries a perfect place to hide. Most people who had no way to reach Khalodian went into the desert. However, they still had their problems as those countries had no way to farm. Therefore, they were in need of food. If Khalodian did not supply them with food, they would have no way to take in such a huge number of refugees.

The Tei Kingdom and Sadiu Kingdom were two countries who benefited the most from this. Sadiu especially as it was closer to Khalodian. So, they were able to fight back monsters with the help of Khalodian. Half of Sadiu was a desert, but the other half was right beside the Khalodian Mountain Range, with monsters rus.h.i.+ng down at them. Yet, they were successfully able to drive back the monsters.

"Kill those monsters!"

The battlefield was terrifying, with flesh and blood spread all over the place. Soldiers quickly attacked from the frontline as medics ran around the back to help any injured soldiers.

"It's already been 7 years," Marquis Ronald said, exhaustion apparent in his expression. It had been 7 years since they started fighting monsters that attacked the land. It was now rumored that half the population of the world had been wiped out.

Most of the lands were destroyed, with the n.o.bles and kings running away without fighting to protect their lands. Only Khalodian and those countries who were friendly towards Khalodian were able to successfully defend against the monsters.
