Chapter 547
All the warp gates in Serandia, a major city in the southern region of Rizeln, had been destroyed.
In the end, the entire army, and even Titan, had essentially been bait.
Ellen Artorius and Sabioleen Tana... Only deploying the units led by those two into the waves of countless monsters would have been suicide.
The monsters were capable of many things, and things like the blocking of magic such as teleportation frequently occurred, making rapid deployment and escape through magic often impossible. Therefore, others had to draw the attention of the monsters for them to survive.
Those who were weaker and easily replaceable became the bait. While those designated as bait drew the attention of monsters too formidable for even Ellen or Sabioleen Tana to handle, the two of them, with their units, executed a maneuver to break through the distracted monsters and destroy the warp gates. Ultimately, both the bait and the two core units had faced unimaginable risks.
Of course, destroying all the warp gates did not mean the battle was over. The monsters that had already been transported had to be exterminated and the surrounding areas secured before the liberation of Serandia could be considered complete.
Combatants with strong individual prowess, like Ellen, had no time to rest. Even after all the warp gates in Serandia were destroyed, they had to be called upon to exterminate the monsters swarming around Serandia.
After a grueling march, the Allied Forces had faced a horrific battle, but ultimately emerged victorious. However, those who had to fight the hardest battles still could not rest. All over Serandia, the cries of monsters and the smoke from burning monster corpses still lingered heavily in the air.

In war, casualties are inevitable. However, this grand army, which had gathered all the remaining strength of humanity, also included the Order of the Holy Knights.
During and after the battles, the clergy went about tirelessly treating the wounded, starting with those who had sustained near-fatal injuries.
Those with the power to heal wounds could not afford to rest even after the battles, as they had to treat the injured. There were lives that needed saving.
