Beacon Fire and Dust

The dispute between humans and demons should have ended thirty years ago. It was a glorious era. The two empires finally put aside their old grudges, their swords pointed at the demons, and each major sect also sent their elites. With everyone working together, the demon army was forced to retreat steadily. Victory is almost a foregone conclusion. But on the eve of the final battle, the empire's dignitaries and several major sects once again had rifts over the distribution of interests. The alliance was defeated by suspicion, and the demon clan, which was already on the verge of extinction, fled into the barren mountains and forests with its last breath. For thirty years, the demons have been hiding in the depths, invading the world from time to time. They regain strength in silence. The invasion of monsters is becoming more and more fierce, and their actions are becoming more and more organized, making it difficult to guard against. The empire's top officials slowly realized that they were learning about human social structure, and a new overlord had been born among the demons. And this time, can the world with its scattered hearts see the dawn again?
