In the former headquarters of the Battle Warrior Department of Drogoton, dozens of people bustled about in the control room. They were tirelessly tuning their wireless signals to try and contact nearby survivors. Remy was the head of this operation.He led five hundred and sixty thousand men who survived the reset to take over Drogoton. After that, he quickly built a wall around the city and helped the survivors settle in. At that moment, Drogoton's defenses had taken shape. Having recently restored communication, Remy immediately instructed his people to continuously send out a wireless broadcast to try and locate more survivors."Ms. Gracia, we got a signal, but there's too much static in the background. We can’t really hear what they're saying," a woman reported.A tall woman walked over. She was Gracia, Gloria's younger sister. She was the department head responsible for communications. She had survived the reset and was saved by Remy's team. She had since assisted him in fortif
"Yes, sir!" All the operators sprang into action, expanding Drogoton's signal. They managed to capture a clear radio signal from Novemton. As Remy walked over, the screen display fluctuated. He was full of anticipation, hoping a response would come through.Zzt, zzt, zzt…The transmitters continued to buzz, but the other side had yet to respond.Meanwhile, the signal tower at Novemton had received an incoming frequency, and the two signals had synchronized. Novemton's recently established communication headquarters was bustling with activity. Communication had just been restored, and there was much work to be done.Adrian had ordered Cian to select individuals knowledgeable in wireless communication from within the city and create a communications department. Matthias was named as head of the department.Matthias led a group of highly skilled individuals as well as young people with prior experience in network communication. They were continuously fine-tuning the network system
“This is fantastic news!" Matthias exclaimed, "We've found ourselves another powerful ally!"Everyone on Matthias' side cheered as he responded, "Sir, my name is Matthias Otto. I'm working for Sir Draco. We're currently stationed in Novemton and have just established our network tower. We're all safe for the moment.""Sir Draco is alive?"Remy's side was also thrilled. Gracia, in particular, looked close to tears. She snatched the communicator from Remy and asked, "Matthias, did you say Adrian's with you? Where is he now? I need you to get him on the line. Swallowston is in trouble!""I'll notify Sir Draco immediately." Matthias became worried upon hearing the urgency in Gracia's voice. He immediately instructed, "Get Sir Draco now."Meanwhile, Adrian was standing atop the wall with Rozi, observing as the flamethrowers were installed on the wall. That was when a call came through his communicator."Sir, we've made contact with Godking Wyrmflare in Drogoton. He just informed us th
Adrian's words ignited the glimmer of hope in Remy's heart. There was a chance to restore everything back to the way it was. Remy took a deep breath and calmly responded, "Understood. I'll be waiting for the day we meet again, sir. In the meantime, I'll lead the people of Drogoton and push forward."Adrian nodded emphatically. "You're no longer a child, Remy. Remember that with great power comes great responsibility. Never be afraid and unleash your true potential. You have to believe that as long as there's hope in your heart, you’ll have endless potential."Through hope, one would be able to unlock their inner potential.Remy could not remember how many times Adrian had told him these very words. Adrian had always taught him to be a good soldier and a good human being. Now, Adrian was teaching him how to remain hopeful.With a composed expression, Remy etched every single word Adrian had just told him deep into his heart. "I won't disappoint you, sir.""I believe in you, Remy,
With his fist clenched, Barry continued to plead, "She suffered all that pain for you, sir, and now you're going to abandon her?" Barry held Adrian in high regard and respected him deeply for the life he now had. He had become a soldier of Navia and had received many awards, making his parents proud. To Barry, this was about protecting his honor, and his honor was linked to Adrian. "Have you really had a change of heart, sir? I know that you're surrounded by beautiful women like Rozi and Helen. Yes, they’re as beautiful as your wife, so are you saying you don't need her anymore?" Barry questioned."Shut up, Barry," Helen whispered but he refused to stay quiet.To him, Samantha was the only woman he acknowledged as Adrian's wife. On top of that, Samantha had taken great care of him while he was in Swallowston. He was not going to stand aside while she and Nova needed help.Barry continued to argue, "I can't stay quiet, not when Samantha and her daughter are stranded in Swallowsto
Just then, Steel entered the room and said, "Sir, we've always followed your orders without question, but this time, I hope you'll listen to what we say instead. What good is a man if he can't protect his woman?" He approached Adrian and stopped before him.Adrian looked at Steel, who continued, "Since you're unable to make a decision, let's have everyone in the city decide for you. Please come with me, sir." Steel turned and walked out, and everyone followed suit. Summoned by Steel, the citizens of Novemton flooded the square and streets. When Steel received word that Samantha had been found, he was afraid that Adrian would be in a difficult position, so he decided to gather everyone to make that decision on his behalf.Walking onto a high platform, Steel looked down at the sea of people and shouted, "Fellow Naviens, I have gathered you all here to ask a question."Everyone listened quietly."Since arriving in Novemton, Sir Draco has brought us electricity, restored the signal t
The voices continued to shout for several minutes, while Adrian remained silent. He had not expected the survivors to be so united, and there were no dissenting voices among them.Steel turned to Adrian and said, "Sir, everyone has agreed for you to go, so their words are now your orders. Please go to Swallowston and save your wife and daughter. We'll be waiting for you back here."Adrian took a deep breath and then slowly ascended the platform. Steel stepped aside to make way for him. Suddenly, Adrian fell to his knees. He was a hero of his generation, one who had achieved many great feats and would never get down on his knees for anyone. Yet, he was kneeling to the civilians.The crowd was stunned when they saw this, and everyone fell silent. Adrian said, "I owe you. I hereby swear that so long as I still breathe, I will lead all of you and rebuild our home."The moment he said this, everyone in the city got down on their knees as well, including Steel, Cian, Padraig, and Helen
Once the large gates swung open, Adrian shouldered his backpack and left for Swallowston. The fog outside was thick. The world was no longer divided into four seasons since the disaster hit. There was a huge shadow across the sky, choking out any signs of life.A car was parked outside, and it was going to be Adrian's means of traveling to Swallowston. If everything went smoothly, he would get to Swallowston in three days. If it were in the past, he would have been able to get there in a little over ten hours. "I'm coming, Nova!" Adrian shouted as he sped out of the city.Numerous monsters chased after his vehicle with their teeth and claws bared. The car raced down the streets of Novemton. There was no need to worry about pedestrians since there was no one about. Adrian could accelerate to his heart's content.As he exited the safe zone, entering the outer ring of Novemton, countless monsters that had been roaming the outskirts of the city followed after him. These monsters cam
