Chapter 1796
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

They endured their hunger until they could not any longer before taking a bite of their compressed biscuit. They did not even have time to drink water. "Reinforce the flank with more firepower. We have another wave incoming," Mountain gave instructions through the communicator.The monsters, dense as the tides, continued to rush in endlessly. As soon as they took one down, another monster would take its place. It was a vicious cycle."Die, you b*stards!"Howls erupted throughout the group of warriors. Every soldier was filled with furious rage at the sudden turn of events that shattered their originally happy lives. As warriors, children, lovers, and parents, they were furious at the person who took away their wonderful lives. They turned this anger into strength, and no one stepped back or uttered a word about being tired. They knew that they would only be killed if they stopped and that there was no retreat.On one side of the train stood a young man. He gazed at the horde of m

It was too late. The deadly scythe was closing in on Garen.Time seemed to freeze at that moment.Croco, knowing he would not reach Garen in time, fired at the Grim. He hoped his attack would knock the Grim down and save Garen, but his bullets had zero effect."Garen!" Mountain roared, his eyes bloodshot. "Stop!"A moment later, the scythe had punctured Garen's abdomen. The youth shuddered and blood gushed out from his wounds. At that moment, Garen finally noticed Grim standing before him. "Garen!""Garen!"The soldiers closest to him yelled and rushed toward him to try and save him. Countless bullets hit the Grim's body, but they had no effect on it. Everyone stood there in shock, mouths agape as cries filled the air."No!" Mountain was in tears and on the brink of collapse.Garen turned to face Mountain and saw the madness in his commander's eyes. The reality of what had happened then sunk in. He looked toward the Grim, then at his comrades who were madly charging toward hi
