Chapter 783: The King's Determination

The throne room was filled with tense silence as the King received the reports of the demons' successful invasion. The room was dimly lit, casting deep shadows on the King's face, making him appear much older than he was. He listened intently to the reports, his expression stoic and controlled, but inwardly, he was in a state of panic. 

As the reports continued, the King's thoughts raced. He knew that this was not a simple attack by the demons. There was someone behind it, someone who was treating the war as a game of chess. He guessed that the demons' tactics were too coordinated and strategic to be just the work of the monsters.
