Adrian gave everyone their assignments before they got into their respective trailers and left Gold Haven. There was a heavy mood in the air, and nobody knew how much longer they could last.***Although the world had been reset, the survivors had not lost hope. As Adrian and the others departed from Gold Haven, Jerome was bringing down all the monsters in Yelloton. The city had ample resources, and Jerome was using these resources to link up all the safe zones within the city. On top of that, he was trying to restore the power. It was the only way to reactivate the wireless signals. They needed to maintain contact with the outside world if they wished to defend the place. Jerome had no intention of leaving Yelloton. He wanted to secure the place before even thinking about going anywhere else, and he was not the only one bust at work. Evercrest Mountain was located at one of the ten military strategic points of Novemton's natural moat. This place was between Northern Navia and Ex
Aurelion was confused by Strider's instructions. "Sir, we've got a hundred and fifty thousand men, so why not send all of them? Wouldn't that increase our chances of winning?"Strider glanced at Aurelion before jumping down from the tree. "None of our men have had a proper meal over the past seven days, so they won't be at their fighting best. Plus, we don’t need that many people. By my count, ten thousand of our elites will do the trick."Aurelion took a deep breath. He had no doubts about Strider's abilities. When the Eight Hollows invaded them, everyone saw how Strider had defended their country on Jerome's behalf. Thus, Aurelion said, "On your orders, sir." Strider instructed, "Have everyone bring all their food and redistribute them to our brothers who will be storming the base. Let's give them a proper meal before they go. We storm the base in two hours.""Yes, sir." Aurelion immediately made the arrangements.All the remaining food was gathered and Strider picked out five
Strider looked up at the giant shadow in the sky and continued, "Do you see those eyes up there? It's staring at us as we speak. We've lost more than half of our men, and I think it's the same everywhere else. There’s a chance they’re no longer alive. Also, I'm not actually worried about them. Instead, it's…""What is it?" Aurelion asked. Strider pointed to the sky. "The fact that it's watching us means there will be more monsters when we attack the base. What should we do then?""A-Are you saying the number of monsters will increase?" Aurelion asked in shock."I think that shadow is the one who sent all those monsters here, so if it's still watching us, there's no way it will allow us to reclaim our base so easily. The shadow will probably send more monsters when we make our move.""Is that why you aren’t sending all of our men into the base?" "The more men I send in, the more monsters we'll have to face. This is our only option. I need you to arrange for a second group if the
A bloody battle broke out at the foot of Evercrest Mountain. Horns sounded, lightning struck, and blood splattered through the air. The soldiers charged into the base, relentlessly fighting against the monsters. Strider led the charge, entering the enemy’s ranks with his team. They were going to take up the most advantageous position inside the base, allowing them access to more advanced weaponry.***While the battle at Evercrest Mountain ensued, Sage was leading her own group across a grassy plain thousands of kilometers away. They were outside Geras City, a third-tier city located on the Geras Plains. Sage had been defending the city's borders when the reset happened.There were close to fifty thousand men all over the plains, each of them armed and fighting against the monsters charging out of Geras City. Half of the eight hundred and seventy thousand soldiers under Sage’s command were lost during the reset. Now, she was left with approximately two hundred and thirty thousand.
Meanwhile, Remy was stuck in a tough battle. The eighteen-year-old, who had been unsuccessful in becoming the next legate, had left his siblings behind for the sake of taking over a city. He knew how important it was to have a city under his control at that moment, which would allow them access to wireless communication. Many cities all over Novemton engaged in battle. Some of them were led by members of Wyvern Peak who came together to try and secure resources, while others were groups of civilians fighting to survive.The whole world was fighting against the monsters, be it offensively or defensively.***Adrian led his group toward Novemton. Along the way, he told Helen and the other women what was happening. They finally learned how severe the situation was.The group was met with numerous monster attacks, but fortunately, none of them were injured or dead. Aside from making their way to Novemton, Adrian looked for more survivors. Whenever they passed a village or a county, h
There were two forces battling inside the city. Adrian could not determine how many civilians were inside Cloudton, and he did not know which side were the good guys. There was even a chance both sides were villains. There were many civilians within his own group, so he could not lead these ordinary people into the city in case something unexpected happened. The only thing he could do was send some people into Cloudton and decide what to do after gaining more information. The ladies were the best candidates for the task. As Helen and her sisters were beautiful, their infiltration into Cloudton would be close to effortless. Without hesitation, Helen said, "Okay, we'll head inside and take a look." She chose a dozen of her sisters and headed to Cloudton. “Susan, I need you to inform me immediately if anything happens. Be careful not to let anyone know you have a communicator.""Don't worry, sir. I'm really good at my job."Susan pulled a face at Adrian. She had joined Bloody Ro
Helen smiled. "We've disguised ourselves as helpless women, so I'm sure they’ll welcome us in a heartbeat. After all, women are extremely precious in this climate."And Helen’s words were indeed correct. Many women were spared from the reset but most were killed by the monsters, far more than the number of men killed. Because of this, the number of women in the world's population had decreased drastically, especially those as pretty as Helen and her sisters.Helen's sisters shivered when they heard this. "Those men will surely try something funny after we enter the city. What should we do?""Let's play it by ear. I'm sure decent men won’t take advantage of the situation." "Okay." Helen and the others approached Cloudton, and the guards noticed them. An armed young man's eyes went wide when he saw them and yelled, "Alain, it looks like those women are here to seek refuge."Everyone immediately turned over when they heard this. A middle-aged man by the name of Alain Fonzi rubbed
The other men raised their guns and surrounded the women. They smiled, unable to conceal their excitement. A few of them even began to choose which woman they would like to enjoy. Alain coughed and said, "They're not monsters, so put your guns down.” Everyone lowered their guns upon command. Alain acted like a gentleman as he walked toward Helen. "I'm sorry, but may I know where you all came from? Did something happen? You're currently in Cloudton. Are you here to seek refuge?"The women pretended to be weak, concealing their murderous intent. After all, each of these women was gorgeous but deadly. Any one of them could handle more than a hundred men in a fight and they had skill sets that surpassed many. Helen smiled. "We escaped from a nearby city. We're tired and exhausted and would like a place to seek shelter. What's the situation in Cloudton right now? Our city was overrun by monsters, so we had to escape. It was so difficult."Everyone smiled when they heard this. Hara
