Chapter 83
83 Back to Korin City
Vice-Captain Josef allowed the cadets to cheer for a few moments before raising his hand, making silence return. A severe expression appeared on his face as he carried on.
“Killing the Apex God took a tremendous toll on the Collapsing Lightning Duke. He suffered severe injuries, and while his life was not in danger, he would have to spend a long time in secluded cultivation to recover. Otherwise, he would have already obliterated every trace of Dark Races’ warriors in the Collapsing Lightning Sector with his own hands.”
Although that piece of information was not good, it did not surprise any of the cadets. A great battle was bound to leave wounds, especially if your enemy was a member of a race known for their incredible battle skills.
No matter how amazing the Collapsing Lightning Duke was, he was still a living entity and needed to heal after a great battle.
“During these last two weeks, soldiers from the Imperial Lightning Fort had traveled the entire sector, killing most of the Dark Races’ powerhouses that came with the Atrox God, but many remain at large. Of course, it is not your mission to hunt them down, as that would be suicide.
Your job will be going to the cities affected by the incursion, enforcing military law, and establishing a perimeter where civilians can remain safe.”
Leaving the fort did not make the cadets happy, as they understood that there were still great dangers looming in the darkness, but none complained. All those here took part in the military academy’s secret trial, so they were not foreign to dangerous battles.
Besides, they were all smart enough to understand that the chances of finding a Dark Races’ powerhouse during their missions were almost null, as all those monsters were running away now that the Atrox God had perished.
“Form groups of ten according to your affinity.” Vice-Captain Josef gave that command and waited.
