Semua Bab The Return of the War Legate: Bab 1771 - Bab 1780

The eye gems were part of the artifact Wonder had recreated. When the gems fused with the eagle artifact, they would become a weapon capable of defeating the Creator. Marissa's eyes were only part of the whole artifact. Yet, the light she unleashed was capable of such powers, leaving Adrian astonished. Drogoton would undoubtedly have fallen if not for her help. Adrian took Marissa back to her room after the chilling encounter. She had been through quite an ordeal and was exhausted. He gently placed her on the bed and covered her with a blanket."Get some rest. We'll be setting out early tomorrow," he said softly.Marissa reached out and grabbed his hand. Adrian asked, "Is something wrong?" Marissa bit her lip, trying to hide her unease and fear. "Am I going to die?"Adrian was taken aback. "Why would you ask that?" He could see the fear in her eyes. "Will you sacrifice me for the sake of winning this battle?" Perhaps because she was young, Marissa felt insecure although

Rozi took a deep breath. She thought that scenario would be the best for Marissa. Otherwise, something worse would happen to her. "Let's hope so. I don't wish to see her hurt. She's an innocent girl who has no reason or obligation to become the gems' host.""Still, we need her," Adrian said.Rozi said nothing more and left the room.Marissa, back inside the room, had overheard their conversation. She was now aware of her situation but chose not to say anything. She was slightly afraid of what was to come. ***That evening, Remy gathered everyone in Drogoton and asked them to share their ideas on how to deal with the minotaurs. The city leaders gathered for a meeting to discuss various strategies.The sudden appearance of these monsters had caught everyone off guard. Now that they had a better understanding of the monsters' abilities, they needed to devise a plan to counter them. The minds of humans would always be capable of exceeding the Creator's expectations. Everyone came

Soon, the hundred thousand men were selected. Karin began assigning them their respective tasks. Meanwhile, Remy ordered everyone to stay inside their homes so that they would not affect Karin's progress. Sometimes, victory in battle was not achieved through sheer force or defeating one's enemy. Instead, it was simply to keep the monsters at bay.All of Drogoton was filled with a buzz as everyone got to work.Late that night, Remy and Adrian sat in Drogoton's headquarters, discussing the impending disaster. Rozi sat beside them, silently listening to their conversation and occasionally interjecting with her thoughts."The ultimate battle will be our last fight, and I call it The Final Fight. When that happens, you, Jerome, Sage, Sylvia, and Strider will be my last hope. I want all of you to fight relentlessly and forge your own legends. You have a lot of responsibility on your shoulders, and I know you miss your siblings very much right now, but remember, this is your mission," Adri

Nothing unusual happened that night.Due to time constraints, Adrian intended to leave Drogoton with Rozi and Marissa right after breakfast. Stardust prepared an armed vehicle for them, which was acquired from the Wyvern Peak base camp. On top of that, Stardust also prepared some supplies.Early that morning, with Stardust in the lead, everyone stood by the city gates in an orderly fashion to send Adrian off."Sir Remy headed out of the city with some men to bring back the minotaurs for research purposes. He's asked me to see you off,” Stardust explained.Adrian had not been expecting a send-off from Remy since the latter had responsibilities he needed to attend to.The armed vehicle was already ready and waiting when Adrian and the others arrived outside the gate. "Stardust, you're a veteran of Wyvern Peak. Although our headquarters has fallen, our organization hasn't been destroyed. From now on, I need you to protect everything and everyone here. This world will truly be witho

The soldiers on the city wall stood to attention as the trio passed by. Rozi asked, "Are they saluting us?"Adrian nodded. "Yes, there was a team of Wyvern Peak soldiers stationed in Eastrive before the reset, so the Battle Warrior Department has likely taken control of the city."Rozi peered out the window and returned the salute by waving at them. The soldiers waved the Wyvern Peak battle flag in their hands in return.Without stopping, Adrian continued to speed along since they were in a rush.***Aside from the occasional monster encounter, which Rozi quickly handled, the trio’s journey was smooth sailing. However, Adrian noticed a severe problem. The monsters around the outskirts had dwindled as though they were gathering around city areas. But he decided not to pay this any attention since he did not know what the Creator was up to. He simply took a mental note of this.As the trio went to search for Crutcher, Geras City and its few residents had built a wall around the
