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

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

"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

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

Thus, six felines joined the human trio. Bronze City was now within sight, and the town was crawling with monsters. Adrian surveyed their surroundings and said, "Rozi, let's take care of the ones inside the town first so that we don't alert the surrounding ones.""Understood." Rozi opened the car window and climbed onto the roof. A sword appeared in her hand, emitting an array of brilliant lights. The sword then began to multiply, splitting into twos, then into fours, until dozens of illusionary swords floated in front of Rozi. With a swift motion of her arm, all the swords flew out. Monsters in the sky and on the ground were pierced by the swords and collapsed.With these monsters dealt with, Adrian continued driving into Bronze City. He was no longer as anxious since there were no more monsters left. They could now enter safely.The streets of Bronze City were strewn with bodies. Most of them had been killed by the monster's blades. Bronze City only had one main street, and it
