Demon Emperors
Ch.57 - Recruiting Soldiers

The chaos outside the royal walls has now been completed, Cyrus and Eliza and the silver serpent have returned to the royal palace. On the way, the citizens and royal soldiers were surprised to see their Queen walking with a snake beast.

The royal soldiers were shocked not because they were weaker than a snake beast, but they were surprised to see a snake of such a type. Silver-colored skin, horns on his head as well as fiery red eyes.

Such a type of snake they had never encountered as long as they lived in this world, it made them surprised and then became curious about the type of snake.

Seven days had passed, in the morning it was seen that hundreds of Quiet Night royal folk were lined up neatly in front of the door of the royal palace.

They were all waiting for the arrival of Cyrus, who had announced the recruitment of soldiers to the surrounding people.

“Are we all going to be accepted by the early king Cyrus, as royal warriors?”

“I don't know, we don't have any skills in fighting either.”

“True, we are all very weak. There is no way His Majesty the king accepts us.”

“Look at Brush.. originally he was just a weak youth, but now he has become a strong warrior.”

“True... I also want to be strong and avenge my family's death..”.

People's conversations rang out outside the royal palace residence, adorning the crowds of residents who were marching in wait for their king's arrival.

For about 30 minutes they waited, and now Cyrus and Eliza showed up. The King and Queen of the kingdom Quiet Night warmly greeted the arrival of his people who were willing to serve him as a royal soldier voluntarily.

“Greetings warm from me.. Thank you for your arrival.” Cyrus said respectfully trying to appreciate the feelings of his people.

“Greetings, Your Majesty king.” Answer them all while bending their knees before Cyrus.

“My goal of gathering all of you is to avenge the demon race in the fallen central continent! Join me to avenge them.Be a warrior of Quiet Night kingdom and be strong so that the demon race is not easily trampled by other races…” Said Cyrus loudly and valiantly before his people who were kneeling while looking at the look of awe.

After a few seconds, Cyrus continued. “Anyone of you if anything changes your mind, please leave. I just want to have soldiers who dare to die on the battlefield and faithfully serve me, serving the kingdom of Quiet Night.”

Cyrus' loud speech was clearly heard by the people outside the royal palace. Not a single creature left after hearing Cyrus' words.

Before coming to the royal palace, they had all rounded up their resolve to become royal warriors and avenge the family, as well as the demon race that had been destroyed by the other races.

Cyrus smiled broadly at his subjects, none of them leaving the palace. “Thank you once again, you guys have been willing to be my soldiers..Troops Leadership skill is active.” Cyrus used her skill to bind the contract of her people who were willing to serve the Quiet Night kingdom.

Instantly all the demon folk had the crescent moon tattoo on their forehead, just like the other 200,000 royal troops.

[350 Soldiers successfully joined the Troops Leadership list. ]

Cyrus smiled small, “Hm. 350 yes, passable..” He said inwardly.

At the same time, the residents were all confused by the crescent moon symbol that was permanently attached to his forehead, some of them rubbed his forehead with a feeling of confusion but still the tattoo did not disappear in the slightest.

Seeing the incident, Cyrus opened her mouth and spoke up. “Let's peace be upon you, the sign can help you to grow stronger and is also your identity and proof that you are faithfully serving me.. Quiet Night kingdom!” 

Everyone was shocked and felt very happy after hearing Cyrus' explanation, then the new soldier expressed his gratitude.

“Long live, His Majesty king.”

“Supervise the kingdom Quiet Night.”

After everything was done and calmed down again, Cyrus now had one responsibility that he had to complete to them, which was to strengthen the soldiers who had just joined.

“Hamba facing, Your Grace.”.

“From now on they are your subordinates and right now they are your responsibility!”

“S-as per your orders, Your Excellency.” Answer Brush doubtfully. For Brush the commandment of Cyrus was in absolute concord, he could not possibly dispute the granting of the king and his master.

Brush feels not ready to lead this many troops with the level and strength he currently has, however he feels very weak if he has to assume the responsibility of leading this army.

“Brush, go to the forbidden forest with your troops to train them. Don't come back here before I call you here and I will also watch over you from a distance.”.

“As per your order, Your Grace.” Brush replied with a pale face and cold sweat, thinking about the fate of his soldiers who were still very amateurish.

“Before you leave, take them to the weapons storage warehouse, grab whatever they need.”

“Good, Your Majesty King.”

Eventually Brush and Buldog and his army left Cyrus, heading to the storage warehouse to arm their fighting gear.

Several hours had passed, they had now prepared to leave the kingdom and go to the forbidden forest to strengthen themselves.

They all prepared quickly, as they obtained the equipment from the royal booty of Devil Wing’s who had been decimated and well stored by Cyrus inside the storage warehouse.

On the way to the forbidden forest, as many as 350 amateur soldiers looked doubtful and frightened, it was natural for weak beings like those who had just joined the army.

“How is it!? I have never practiced anything, but why did His Majesty the king directly send us to the forbidden forest.”.

“Me too, what should we do when meeting monsters..”.

That worry and fear continued until they reached the border of the forbidden forest.

Until one of them asked in a high tone. “Brush... are you kidding me? How can we get into the forbidden forest so soon without doing the exercises first.”.

“Dear your words, I am not the same Brush as I used to be. I am your leader! From now on call me, chief!” Brush answered him in a high tone and also looked like snapping.

Brush did not immediately answer the words of one of his soldiers, because he still did not find the right reason and keep their trust in order to keep trusting his master, Cyrus Alexander.

After a few breaths, Brush finally got a careless but reasonable answer from her little brain and she answered it. “Do you understand the black emblem of the crescent moon has been approved by you?”

“No, Chairman.” Answer some of them with a terrified look after getting a snatch from Brush.

“That emblem is a symbol of protection and power given to you by His Majesty the king.”.

Some of Brush's subordinates answered and asked in turn.

“Really?”

“Really?”

“What is true this is a symbol of protection and strength from His Majesty?”

With a sure look Brush answered him, “Did you forget? I used to be weak as you are, but now I can become stronger than ordinary soldiers in general, it is all thanks to the strong will and blessings that His Majesty bestowed on me.” He said proudly.

Slowly the amateur soldiers tried to convince themselves, with determination and the aim of becoming stronger and growing stronger to avenge the death of his family and the destruction of his race.

And they all ended up entering the forbidden forest with high confidence.
