The seventeen million troops comprised of many countries and cultures, but they had one thing in common .

Revenge .

There were those who had lost their loved ones to the monsters . They cheered on Emperor Joonb.u.m's plan to invade the Demon World . Thoughts of revenge were powerful motivation for the people . It even made people who couldn't join the military stay together with that one hope .

Lots of people donated their money and a.s.sets to help with the military .

And the number of troops soon increased . After three years, it now stood over twenty-eight million, with twenty-three million of them just being infantry .

They were equipped with a new type of rifle that used anti-monster bullets which had powerful venom coating . They were also given anti-monster shotguns that fired two hundred iron bullets at once . Of course, the ammunition also had venom coating .

And to aid with any sort of danger, all users were given special antidotes and healing potions .

The Ainos potions were proven to work on most wounds . They were considered miracle potions . The only problem was that they needed a lot of ingredients .

Joonb.u.m and Doral quickly formed a special troop to gather the needed ingredients .

They first went to capture live Zyeloks . After capturing a huge number of Zyeloks and a pen was built to contain them, they began hunting down Gartz . Gartz were powerful monsters that were once considered the kings of the mountain .

The special troops captured the Gartz, which were slowed by the poison, and kept them contained in a metal pen . The Gartz were kept alive in good condition as people gathered blood from them . They first reacted violently to being captured, but they quickly adapted to their new environment .

They even became docile toward the Ainos who fed them . And thus, creating potions became much easier .

The increase of potions was a blessing to all . The Khalodian Empire provided the needed potions with the cheap price of future labor . This allowed many people to be saved from diseases and severe wounds .

"The Gate has reopened . "

Joonb.u.m opened his eyes in shock as Jackson walked up to him .

"Are you going, Your Majesty?"

"Yeah . "

Joonb.u.m laughed . Jackson stated, "We do not know what might happen after you're gone . The world changes . History proves this . "

"Does it?" Joonb.u.m answered without any concern and smiled .
