The Legendary Farmer's
Chapter 29 - Preparation for Invasion

As the death of the Demon King was being talked about in almost all corners of the Zerenian civilization, things that no one ever expected began to show their fangs. In another part of the world, a place that the Zerenians had never known, right at the foot of a mountain, an enormous gathering of power was underway. Hundreds of thousands of tents had lined up neatly, and thousands more were being erected in haste.

From the four directions of the wind, rows of soldiers lined up neatly following the streets, entering the growing encampment. Their steps galloped slowly, treading steadily until the ground under the footing solidified perfectly. No one's making a sound. No one protested or chided. All move with complete confidence. Ready to support their leaders to seize the land that has long been desired. Without fear of death.

Torches with blackish-blue flames lit up throughout the camp, illuminating the pitch-black darkness and becoming a friend to all its inhabitants. No exception to the area at the end of the campground, in front of a cliff wall that is partially decorated with various symbols and writings.

"How's it going?" ask the large tall humanoid figure. His blackish-red body was standing upright staring straight at the cliff wall. The huge horn on his forehead curved slightly towards the back with full dominance. A fairly large blackish-red flame floated haughtily between the ends of the two horns.

"Not long to the General. The portal will open exactly one week from now." The smaller figure answered. With a gesture full of respect, the figure wrapped in black magician-style clothes bowed his body ending his sentence. Try to be polite and respectful.

"Good! This time I myself will first enter the portal. I will not let events like before repeat." reply big-bodied figure. Sharp look.

"We will always support you General" said one of the figures standing behind the so-called General.

"Prepare all of you. This time we will stab the back row of lowly creatures." the person who bears the title of General ended his sentence with a loud laugh.

"Life Demon! Eternity will always be with us!" said the other figures around the General simultaneously.

The fifty-centimeter-wide stone slab became Paijo's seat. A small bonfire curled up right in front of the teenage boy. His fire tongue swayed gently under the glitter of millions of stars, burning a number of tree trunks that were deliberately stacked to resemble cones.

"So what are you going to do after this?"

Paijo looked to the right. His gaze fell upon a white cloud the size of an adult's fist that was drifting not far from his shoulder. The figure that also looked like a piece of cotton was flying to and fro nimbly, making the silhouette strokes of his eyes and mouth more visible.

"It looks like I will sell my hunting results yesterday first." replied Paijo. His gaze fell back on the bonfire in front of him. "I'll definitely make a lot of money after that."

"OKAY. Doesn't matter. But then you'll have to go to the UF to warn them."

"Yes. I'll definitely be there."

The cloud that kept flying to and fro was none other than Alvaronizam. After giving up the essence of his life, the Demon King of justice now inhabits the heart of Paijo, and will take the form of a small cloud when it comes out of its place of residence.

"So what really happened?" Paijo demanded an explanation that had previously been delayed.

Alvaronizam did not answer. "Where should I start to explain it, huh? How about you ask what you want to know first? So I can explain it more easily."

Paijo sighed, quite disappointed by Alvaronizam's request asking him to pry for information that he should have been able to get to know just by opening his auditory senses wide.

"Portals."

"Portals?" Paijo repeated, making sure that what possessed his eardrum was right.

Alvaronizam moved up and down as a nod signal. "You didn't hear wrong. The portal connecting the Black Land Forest with somewhere on the other side of Gedhetenan Land. Precisely in the territory of the Demon Emperor Galahad."

"Demon Emperor?" Again Paijo repeated.

Hearing the human chirp next to him, Alvaronizam turned his attention to Paijo. The faintly visible eye-scratch on his cloud body was closely watching, trying to look for something he might not have noticed. But after observing for a few seconds, something he had worried about was not the least bit proven. Paijo's gaze was sharp. It indicates that he is listening carefully. The corner of his eyes is focused and always seems to be thinking.

"Yes. The Demon Emperor who became my role model." Alvaronizam continued because his interlocutor was taking his attention seriously.

"Then what does this have to do with the portal you just said?"

"Of course it is very related and becomes the main key to the destruction or failure of a civilization in this place." Alvaronizam was silent for a moment. He flew around Paijo before pecking back near the young man's left shoulder. "If it is good and hates violence, Emperor Galahad is a demon who is easily deceived. I mean, he'll find it easier to trust a demon he thinks is perfect. Of course it's just the criteria. Because of his bad habits, without him noticing, the Demon King he had always been proud of actually had a trait that was opposite to his vision and mission. With just a little wordplay, as bad as any information about the figure would be instantly ignored by the Emperor."

"That's not very good." Paijo's Comments.

Alvaronizam agreed. "Therefore, unbeknownst to the Emperor, I decided to try to stop the heinous plan of one of the Demon Lords of his faith. I pretended to support him until I managed to unilaterally close the portal before something really terrible happened. And I ended up being the Boss of the Black Earth Forest for decades."

"How big is the portal?"

Alvaronizam's cloud body rose and fell for a moment, very interested in the new question posed to him. Especially in every word that crosses his hearing is hidden a deep enough thought. "Fifty meters."

Mata Paijo. Alvaronizam's confession instantly dawned Paijo on a catastrophe that could not be stopped easily. This idea arises based on the experience of Paijo when he first climbed Gedhetenan Land. On the day of the transfer, Paijo still remembered the two hundred meter wide portal devoted to humans. With a portal of that size, the human who numbered close to a million souls could be moved to another place in just a few hours. It was also because all the newly transferred humans were scattered everywhere. What if everything is prepared carefully? Of course the transfer process will be much faster, likely not to be more than an hour.

"From your expression like you're beginning to understand the situation."

With a diluted brain that filled the cavity of his skull, of course, Paijo immediately understood the situation that was happening. The essence of the problem being discussed is certainly not just a portal that can move anyone from one point to another that is very far apart, but who will use it. Because the demon who will be the main user of course there will only be bad things happening, and the first to explode in Paijo's brain is the sending of troops through the portal.

"How many troops has the Demon King prepared?"

Alvaronizam was silent for a moment. Trying to calculate the number of troops he had witnessed before successfully closing the portal unilaterally. "Ten million. All of them were wearing complete equipment and had two hundred levels. And if my calculations are correct, another portal that is somehow located will appear within a period of no more than a week."

Paijo's ears felt like they were about to explode when the information entered his eardrum. Not only the number is astonishing, but also the level of each individual. Paijo must immediately provide such information to the UF. Only the organization can handle the invasion of the Devil's army. Only they can stop the catastrophe that will happen soon.
