Lown Peak was the highest peak within Khalodian Mountain . The harsh landform contained permanent snow, even throughout the summers .
"Wow, look how many we have . "
"This would be a good place to defend . "
Joonbum spoke, nodding to Jinpok's comment . There were countless soldiers and tents stationed in the area, but the problem was the giant monsters that took much more than mere spears and arrows .
"Yes, Your Majesty . Anyone who enters this region cannot simply walk out of this place in one piece . The highest peaks near Lown surround this valley and we will trap them . "
People turned to the voice and a young man walked out of the tent . Joonbum looked at him curiously and spoke his name .
"Jorge Duvall?"
"Your Majesty . "
Everyone was surprised . Jorge Duvall was a promising young genius who was gaining fame within the Khalodian Empire Army .
"Oh, is that Field Marshall Jorge Duvall?"
"Isn't he too young?"
"He was chosen out of the thousands of other competition . "
People seemed to be astonished at the famed man himself .
"It's been a while . "
"Yes, Your Majesty . "
"Shall we hear what you have to say, then?"
"Yes, Your Majesty . "
Jorge then looked around and began to explain .
"This is a natural fortress . Nothing is better than this place . We will utilize this place and keep the peace of the continent no matter the cost . If we let those monsters break through our defense line here, our world is doomed . There will be nowhere else for us to defend . If we have to bring our fight back to the capital, the consequences will be dire . "
Jorge spoke to everyone . He paused for a second for people to follow and continued .
"First of all, we will be using various poisons to conserve our new weapons and firepowder . "
"Oh!"
"Poison?"
"Will it work?"
People gasped and looked at Jorge .
"We will be using the Bering Poison and Zyelok Poison . "
These were the most famous poisons throughout the entire continent . They were also widely used as an assassination method .
"Our weapons research team tested the poison on the monsters and found them to be effective enough to be put into use . It takes time for the poison to affect those large monsters, but our team is working hard to improve their potential at the moment . "
He then continued onto the next topic .
"Next is cannon production . We will be supplied with 300 more cannons next week, and will be receiving the same amount of cannons on a weekly basis starting with that . We will also be receiving enough war supplies along with that . There will be no shortage there . "
A tremendous amount of supplies had gone into this war . The number of enemies walking through the Gate was too much to dare try to conserve any supplies or weapons . People were concerned that their supplies would run thin at this rate, but their concerns were instantly resolved .
"Hmph . But it doesn't mean we don't have to save it . The empire has opened its all storage and all citizens are working hard to provide the supplies . Do not forget that what we are using is provided upon the work of the entire empire itself . "
Everyone nodded . Yet before Jorge could speak again, the sound of a horn came from afar .
"It's coming again . "
Joonbum quickly moved up to the high wall that was built to block off part of the valley . As he and others went to the top, monsters started rushing in through the valley in countless numbers .
"It's too much . "
Monsters screamed as they began charging at the wall . Within them were familiar monsters that usually appeared in computer games on Earth . There were also monsters with dog tags, proving that these were transformed versions of human pets .
"Jorge, how is the experiment going?"
Jorge replied, "We are implementing various tests and focusing on possible plague as you mentioned, Your Majesty . As of now, we have found no evidence that it was transferred by the air, skin contact, or blood . "
"I see . "
This was what Joonbum feared most . If these monsters had a disease that could spread easily, that would mean another disaster .
"It will take time . The plague might happen later, so make sure you control and quarantine the laboratory . "
"Yes, Your Majesty . The area is located on a small island off the coast and is prepared for the worst . "
Joonbum nodded . He meant that there were bombs ready to blow the entire place up if needed .
'So, there's no danger of it spreading for now . '
"Reload!!"
"Prepare the cannons!"
Soldiers began to prepare for the fight . Soon, the cannon fire sound filled the entire valley .
