BECOME A HERO IN ANOTHER WORLD ( Part 4 )

The Hero Party and I just returned to the palace after successfully clearing the fifth floor of the Dungeon Zoo. I immediately separated from the Hero's Party after we entered the royal area.

The reason I parted ways with them was to report to His Majesty the King. Witch Zeris and I have been appointed as mentors of the Hero Party, so we have to provide King Erick with reports on the progress of the Hero's party to King Erick.

As soon as I arrived at the Royal palace, I immediately went in to meet the King. Several guards at the palace gates lowered their heads as I passed them. I currently occupy the position of head of the Knights of the Star Kingdom, so it's only natural for me to receive the respect of other knights.

“Master Xorra, the King is waiting for your arrival.”

A man who was quite old greeted my arrival, and that person was the Prime Minister of this country.

I was quite surprised to find out that the one who greeted me was a high-ranking state like him.

“Good evening, Mr Jamie Newson”

I immediately give my greetings when I know that someone like him is the one who welcomes my arrival.

Mr Newson and I immediately went to the room where the King was waiting. The two of us walked through many rooms, and every room we passed was of the same level of luxury.

After we climbed the stairs, we both finally reached the fourth floor and on this floor the King was waiting for us. Mr. Newson knocked on one of the doors as soon as we got to this floor.

*Knock… knock…*

"It's me, I've brought Xorra."

It didn't take long for the door in front of us to open as soon as Mr. Newson said this. We both immediately entered the room.

We immediately prostrated before King Erick after we saw him in this room, prostrating is our way of paying respect to the King.

"Sit down...."

We both sat down on chairs in the room.

The butler who was there also immediately gave me a cup of hot tea when I just sat down.

“Alright Xorra, please give me your report…”

*Gulp…!* I gulped when I wanted to speak.

I always get nervous every time the King asks a direct question like this. So I took a sip of tea first to feel more relaxed.

After I felt calmer, I also told all the events that happened in the Dungeon. I told them everything, from their teamwork, the incident where Axel was reckless, to Yoru who was a little scared when he looked at each other with the snake monster.

The king just listened and nodded as I gave all the reports. After finishing giving the report, the King was silent while sipping his tea.

After a moment of silence, the King finally began to speak.

“So what do you think, are they ready to face the Demon?”

Without further ado, the King immediately asked me this kind of question.

“Not yet, they just need a little practice to make their cooperation even closer… so for now, I don't think so.”

The king took a deep breath after hearing my answer. All of us in the room also couldn't help but remain silent after seeing the King's reaction.

*Brakk!!*

Suddenly the door in this room opened with a loud bang that made us all startled. A soldier immediately ran before the King and immediately bowed in front of him.

“My king, I bring you very important news!”

"Please calm down..."

The soldier looked very panicked, so we all tried to calm him down so that the message could be heard more clearly.

I made him sit on a chair and handed him a glass of water. Because of this, the soldier became calmer. After that, he immediately passed the news he brought to all of us.

“King, I have a message from the city of Rigel. Last night the city was attacked by demons, 70% of the townspeople were evacuated but the city was overrun by demons.”

Huh!? so the demon race has started to move...

We were all very surprised after hearing the explanation from the soldier.

“Knight Xorra, prepare an army to secure the city.”

"Yes my King!"

I immediately bowed before the King after he gave his order.

“And please bring the Hero Party….”

Huh? Did I hear wrong...? didn't I tell you that the Hero Party isn't ready yet.

“B-but my king....”

"We have no other choice, our Kingdom must defeat the demon with all the power we have"

Since the King said this, I couldn't help but agree to all his orders. Although I honestly don't agree with this.

Me and the soldier who gave the message immediately left the room and went to the headquarters where the Star Kingdom troops were. I also immediately went to the Hero Party's mansion and told him everything that happened.

The next morning, we were all prepared in the courtyard of the Star Kingdom. Around 3000 troops led by me have prepared in this place, the hero party has also prepared to go to Rigel city.

In this mission, our aim is not only to take back the city of Rigel, we also have a goal to provide logistical materials such as food and clothing to the refugees.

Before our troops departed, the King introduced the members of the Hero Party to the people of the Star Kingdom. With a magic tool, the King begins a speech before his subjects.

"O MY PEOPLE, THERE ARE FIVE PEOPLE SELECTED AS HEROES AND THEY ALL ARE READY TO SAVE THIS COUNTRY."

The people in this kingdom were initially very worried after news of the demon started to spread. And after they heard the King's announcement, the people's anxiety started to lessen a bit.

“MARK RHODES, AXEL THOMAS, JULIA COSMOCURE, RIKKA GRAY, AND YORU EDELHARD. THEY ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WILL SAVE THIS COUNTRY FROM THE THREAT OF THE DEMON RACE.”

The people shouted louder after hearing the speech. This also makes the troops I lead even more excited.

“My hero, please give a word to the people of this kingdom…”

Mark immediately took one step ahead of all of us and began to say a word as requested by the King.

"PEOPLE OF THE STAR KINGDOM, WE WILL DEFINITELY TRY OUR BEST TO DEFEAT THE DEMON AND MAKE THE WORLD PEACE AGAIN."

Mark said this while raising his sword, and it made him look very manly.

I really didn't think, one month ago they were still kids who didn't understand anything. But now, humanity's destiny is in their hands.

Mark, Axel, Julia, Rikka, and Yoru. I really hope for you.

After hearing the speeches of the King and Hero, our troops finally started their journey towards the city of Rigel. And this will be our first step in subjugating the Demon Race.
