Chapter 1794
Through the combined effort of the three cargo planes, the train was lifted off the tracks and suspended in the air by the steel cables. The convo continued this way until they passed the faulty tracks, and the train was gently placed back on the tracks. The steel cables were retracted, and the train resumed its journey with the fighter jets providing cover.This was also the plan Strider had devised to deal with faulty tracks or other detrimental failures that hindered the train from moving forward. The cargo planes' function was to lift the train up and over faulty areas before placing them back on the tracks.The convoy continued moving forward, driven by dreams and hopes that were not extinguished by the monsters’ threat. They pressed on, determined to protect the world they cherished. They knew very well that many of them would end up sacrificing themselves by the time the convoy reached Geras. Even so, no one hesitated to move forward. They knew that the world was sick and that

"F*ck!" The angry cries of the pilots filled the air, but they had no choice but to continue forward. After all, there was no reason for them to stop there, not after Starlight and Robin had paved the way for them with their lives. They needed to steel themselves and move forward."Onward!" Aurelion roared through the communicator.Explosions echoed through the air as the Tempest jets led the way and those on the left and right flanks rotated in the sky. With each revolution, the jets unleashed a hail of bullets and missiles, tearing through the countless bird monsters. The sheer number of monsters made it challenging to break free, but the warriors piloting the Tempest jets, under the guidance of Strider's wisdom, pushed forward, leading the cargo planes to safety.It seemed as though the bird monsters knew that the cargo planes were the most crucial element of this mission, and they relentlessly attempted to destroy them.Aurelion, piloting Tempest-14, was bloodshot in the eyes

The citizens prayed that the men from Evercrest would arrive in Geras in one piece. Whooooop, whooooop, whooooop.The alarms throughout Geras suddenly blared. The citizens immediately ran into their homes or the nearest buildings, while the soldiers gathered up. Sage, dressed in her battle suit, stood atop the roof at headquarters as she assigned missions. "Friends, we've just received word that the team from Evercrest delivering our food supplies has departed. The soldiers have already encountered enemy attacks and have suffered casualties. I know none of you have had a proper meal to eat and it's difficult for you to stay strong for battle. However, today is the day we must fight." The soldiers quietly looked at Sage. Some of them even teared up from the tragic news. The soldiers who sacrificed themselves were their comrades-in-arms, someone's children, partners, or even parents. There were many waiting for their companions to come home to them. How could they not tear up

The soldiers’ furious chant spread throughout the city, lifting the citizens' spirits.Without further ado, Sage yelled, "A total of a hundred thousand of us will be involved in this mission, with me personally leading the group. The remaining hundred and fifty thousand will defend the city, and Juan will be in charge. My group will be divided into three squads. We're racing against time, and cleaning up the tracks within the next few days will be a challenge. As such, I'm giving all of you an hour to prepare yourselves. I want the leaders of all three squads to meet me in the conference room to discuss our plan." "Yes, ma'am.” Sage had already devised a plan. They would clean up the tracks in a few days while defending it. There was an overwhelming number of monsters in Geras, severely affecting the million tons of food supply from entering. Failure to accomplish this mission would have devastating consequences.While Sage discussed her plan with the three squad leaders, the oth

They knew the soldiers were about to embark on a dangerous mission in order to protect them.Sage was stunned, not expecting the civilians to donate whatever was left. The hundred thousand soldiers were similarly touched by this gesture. It was true they were starving, but they could not bring themselves to the food. "Thank you all for the kind gesture, but we're short on food right now. What are you all going to eat if you give us whatever is left? Please take them back. Don't worry. We'll be sure to make it back.”"You shouldn’t think like that, ma'am,” a young man said, "How are the soldiers going to fight on empty stomachs? We'll have a million tons worth of food when you win this fight, so we can handle starving for a few days. We won’t die just yet. Plus, we'll distribute our remaining food equally, so we won't have any problems over the next few days. Please let our men eat or we won't get up!"As the crowd remained on their knees, Sage's tears welled up. She knew how impor

After they filled their stomachs, the soldiers set out, carrying with them the eager anticipation of over half a million citizens.The gates of Geras swung open, and the soldiers poured out. They leaped down from the city walls or exited through the main gate in an organized and disciplined fashion. Then, they began a relentless attack according to plan.Boom! As they charged out, explosions rang out, and gunfire began to rage."Assault team, cover the scouts and launch a comprehensive search. Move out!""Snipers, take your positions!""Left and right flanks, get into positions!""Anti-aircraft units, get ready!""Defensive teams, eyes up!""Assault teams, stay sharp!""Everyone, move forward by five hundred meters!"Sage drew her sword and beheaded a monster. A light then appeared around her as she leaped into the air."Squad one, with me!" she said as she broke through a horde of monsters, leading a team to pave the way.Explosions and gunfire echoed, signaling the begi

Although Wyvern Peak has been thwarted throughout its history, not once had an entire army been annihilated. But for some reason, Adrian felt restless and uneasy this time around. Strider knew many of the soldiers he sent out to Geras would end up sacrificed before he made the call."It can't be that bad, can it? Surely not all of them will fall if the mission fails," Rozi countered."There's one thing about Wyvern Peak you need to understand. We will not retreat from a mission even if we're down to the last man standing. That is our motto. Strider knew from the beginning that none of the men he sent out would be able to return," Adrian said."Then why did he do it?”"He has the right to control his own life, but not the lives of others, even though he's a general."No sane person would be able to withstand seeing a hundred thousand men annihilated in a mission. After all, these were human lives at stake.Rozi once again had an unfavorable impression of Strider, thinking he had m

It was too late to change anything now.The two remained silent at the thought of a hundred thousand soldier lives being deemed worthless, yet priceless at the same time. ***Adrian, Rozi, and Marissa continued their journey. Their goal was clear—to reach Peach Village in Bronze City and find Crutcher. Despite the slim chances of success, they had no choice but to pursue this path, even if it meant finding the man’s dead body.As night fell the sounds of gunfire continued in the distance. The soldiers who had left the Evercrest camp were still engaged in battle."Griffin spotted up ahead. I repeat, griffin spotted up ahead.” Came the report over the radio.The soldiers had become numb to the appearance of the griffins. To transport food to Geras, the train needed to reach its destination safely, which required the cargo planes to provide full escort. Thus, the soldiers needed to push forward.By this time, they had been engulfed in a maddened frenzy. Despite having fought for a
