Chapter 59: Black Death (6)
Klais returned to the army.
It was the return of a legend. The news of that alone would turn the tides. After the welcoming ceremony, the morale of the troops pierced through the roof.
“The iron tower at the first line of defense is gone.”
“They must have demolished it.”
When Klais finished inspecting the front, she was assigned an army the size of a regiment.
There were 326 combatants in total, each mage beyond high-class. The remaining positions were filled by medics, signallers, aides, and supply units.
A large army capable of firing over 300 Flares at once. The strategy was for this army to charge through to the third line under the escort of the other divisions. They also didn’t forget to leave an escape route just in case.
The fully-prepared troops headed north with an unstoppable force. They climbed over one of the smaller mountains of Elankaya and crossed the highlands covered with snow.
And within only a few hours, they broke through the first barricade.
Then they reached the second line. As the number of high-level beasts diminished, that many more Calamities appeared. But even Calamities fell to Flare like leaves to autumn winds.
They were going to win. They could do it.
