The Kings' Mulling

"What?" The King of Beil, the kingdom residing at the south of Ress, was surprised by the hastily spoken report. "They what?" 

It was at least 2 months or so since the isolation of the Ress and for some reason, the magical barrier that it put up had been a bane and boon to the rest of the countries surrounding it. 

The boon was that for some reason, the demons were always 'hanging' out beside the magical isolation barrier, as if waiting to pounce in. This had somehow got other demons to follow as well and there were lesser attacks on the kingdom of Nalg which was to the East of Ress as well as the kingdom of Pal, the West of Ress.
