Chapter 1800
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

Mountain had taken Garen under his wing at the end of last year. The boy, nearly eighteen years old, had yet to shed all of his childishness. In his first few days with the team, he cried endlessly at the thought of his mother. Mountain had drilled him with routine after routine in the hopes of refining the little boy into a young man.Garen had to step out onto the battlefield less than a year after he joined Wyvern Peak.A pocket watch fell from the sky and landed at Mountain's feet."I don't really like you, sir. You’re so fierce toward me, unlike my mother. She's always really kind and gentle. She even got me this pocket watch."Mountain opened the pocket watch, revealing a photo of a young woman; Garen's mother whom he missed dearly. The man’s filled with tears. He stowed the pocket watch inside his uniform and sobbed, "Garen, I take back everything I said before. You are indeed a real man, a true soldier, and someone I'm genuinely proud of."After wiping his tears, Mountain

"Condor Squad, prepare yourselves. Leave all of your equipment and resources and follow me," Skyhawk commanded. The thirteen soldiers jumped down from the train. One of the armored vehicles came to a stop and was taken over by the Condor Squad. Skyhawk then led his comrades toward the massive Grims. They nimbly maneuvered between the Grims’ feet, avoiding attacks and aiming to enter the heart of the enemy group to resolve the crisis.Everyone else provided cover fire. Aerial support also divided its forces to cover the ground team. Skyhawk and his team halted at the designated positions. Upon his command, there was a thunderous explosion and a mushroom cloud rose into the sky. Everything around the explosion ceased to exist.The horde of Grims was obliterated, and the explosion left behind a massive crater in the ground. Skyhawk's team had managed to avoid the tracks, and the force of the explosion did not affect the train.The Grims had been wiped out, and the others continued

Rozi did not know how to respond to this. At that moment, Adrian approached and said, "We’ll win. The Creator may be strong, but we can’t be estimated. We consist of billions of people, hundreds of thousands of them soldiers, godkings, battle warriors, and countless more who are willing to fight. Put them all together and we're a force to be reckoned with. We have a bright future ahead of us as long as we keep alive the hope in our hearts."Marissa turned to look at Adrian, who continued, "Let's work together to win this battle."She felt inspired and nodded enthusiastically. "I'll do my best. Even if I have to sacrifice myself and become an eagle, I’ll do it. I don't want us to live in a world like this. I want to live in a world where there is no war.""That will happen, but we need to work together toward that. All right, it's getting late. We'll continue through the night since Peach Village is just up ahead," Adrian said.Rozi and Marissa nodded. The trio got back into the c

Time passed slowly, and countless more sacrifices were made. All kinds of events unfolded throughout the cities, including many deaths. These events bore witness to the power of hope and determination.Finally, one noon, after navigating through various obstacles, Adrian and his group reached their destination. Before them was Bronze City, the small town they had so painstakingly looked for. They were now less than forty kilometers away from Peach Village."We’re here!" Adrian announced, parking the car and gazing at the small town.Despite being small, the Bronze City was shrouded in an eerie silence. They could see signs of monsters passing through, with many houses damaged or destroyed. The sky was filled with bird monsters circling overhead as if they were watching their prey on the ground. The town appeared to be devoid of any living humans, and numerous bodies were scattered throughout in various poses. Most of them had started to decay due to the elements. This place had on
