“Do you see that?” Benedict angrily asked Marion and Viola as he pointed at the monster-infested island. “Did you think that we’re here to play games with you idiots? Did you come here thinking that you’d be taking a nice, relaxing vacation?
“Do you finally realize what you have done? All of you only needed to do one thing and one thing only—follow the rules we have set. Aren’t all of you soldiers? Aren’t you supposed to be good when it comes to following orders? Then how come you can’t even do that one thing right?!”
Benedict’s anger represented the anger that the members of the Dvalinn Federation felt at the moment.
Due to the emergency evacuation, they were forced to leave some of their important equipment behind.
The monsters were bound to destroy everything they had left behind, which meant that their hard work for the past year would all go down the drain. This was a big waste of their efforts in trying to reclaim the Rigel Continent.
The 69th Battalion couldn’t help but feel anxious as they looked in the distance.
Perhaps due to their consecutive victories against the Jinns and Majins, they had been complacent and thought that the Rigel Continent wasn’t as dangerous as they thought.
But these naive notions were being broken as they looked at the place where they had been a while ago.
“Make no mistake. What you are seeing is only a small fraction of the forces that the Jinns have stationed in the Rigel Continent,” Thirteen, who was standing in front of his soldiers, stated. “Take a good, long look because what you’re seeing right now is the same thing that you will see when the Gates in the Cygni Continent open.
“This is what a Jinn invasion looks like, and the threat that humanity needs to overcome in order to survive in the world. Let me remind you that I brought all of you here to help you prepare mentally for the invasion that will happen in three years.”
Thirteen scanned the pale faces of his soldiers who had just escaped a near-death situation from only a Rank 6 Sovereign and dozens of flying monsters.
That was nothing compared to the tens of thousands of monsters that were now observing them from the island.
A sigh escaped the teenage boy’s lips, thinking about how the cannons that his members possessed could no longer be used again, for they had reached their limit after merging them together. ƒreewebɳovel.com
The only weapons that his soldiers possessed now were their assault rifles, which were only effective against Rank 1 and Rank 3 Monsters.
Of course, the Soldiers still have their abilities, and they could use them to fight.
At the end of the day, they were still Wanderers.
They were all summoned to Solterra in order to hone them for the fights against the Jinns and Majins, who were trying to invade their world through the Dimensional Gates.
“Everyone, prepare yourselves,” Thirteen stated as he looked at the monster-infested island. “Stay together, and make sure to protect our comrades. Do not worry about anyone else.”
The Valkyries, who specialized in aerial battles, didn’t dare to ride their mounts anymore.
They feared that the moment they did, it would trigger the flying monsters hovering above the island to attack them.
While they wouldn’t have to worry about the land-based monsters, the number of flying monsters on the horizon was enough to block the light of the sun.
“So, this is the true horror of the Rigel Continent,” Shana said softly as she held her staff firmly in her hand.
She currently stood beside her Commander, Marion, and was waiting for her orders.
The beautiful lady still had the mark of Benedict’s slap on her face.
But, right now, she had more important matters to worry about than the bruise that appeared on her cheek.
The Dvalinn Federation and the Jinns had a standoff that lasted for several minutes.
Everyone believed that it only needed a small spark—a small trigger to start a war that would dye the sea with the color of blood.
Wendell, the Monarch of the Elrod Clan, was only looking at one place and one place only.
At the center of the countless flying monsters, there was a two-meter-tall Bird Man who was standing on top of a Wyvern.
The Bird Man had bronze feathers covering his entire body.
He was also holding a black spear in his hands, and his black eyes locked onto Wendell’s body, whom he had almost killed once in the past.
If not for the fact that the Thrones of the Dvalinn Federation had been there to rescue him, there would be one less Monarch in Pangea right now.
A sneer then appeared on the bird man’s face as he raised his hand.
A moment later, the Giant Hawk screeched, making all the other flying monsters screech as well.
“They’re coming,” Wendell’s face turned grim as he summoned his Mythical Weapon, a blue trident.
The Three Thrones also summoned their weapons, intending to fight the Rank 8 Sovereign together with Wendell.
He was the strongest Wanderer in the Dvalinn Federation, and they would not allow him to die no matter what.
“Steady,” Thirteen said as all his soldiers took out their assault rifles and aimed at the approaching monsters.
In the background, the cannons of the man-made port, as well as the cannons of the battleships, all roared to life.
Some of the monsters were obliterated by the cannon shots, but other monsters swiftly took their place.
A wave of unending monsters descended upon the man-made island, with the intention to annihilate all the Wanderers who had decided to make their stand against them.
“Open fire!” Thirteen ordered, and his soldiers unleashed a deadly barrage, decimating the monsters that targeted the Valkyries beside their defensive formation.
They already know that their military armor made the Jinns and Majins ignore their presence, which they took to their advantage.
However, now that they were actively attacking, the Monsters finally took notice of their presence and also attacked them en masse.
The Blaze Skunks, who were guarding their masters, unleashed their blazing acid sprays, forcing the monster targeting the 69th Battalion to momentarily back away.
Thirteen didn’t know if he would be able to preserve all of his members in this battle, but he still decided to give it a try.
“Jubei, provide cover fire,” Thirteen ordered.
“Yes, Master,” Jubei replied.
Miles away from the battlefield, a submarine rose up on the surface of the sea.
Its main cannons then moved to aim at the monsters that were now targeting the 69th Battalion. A barrage was soon unleashed, decimating those it hit in an instant.
Although there was a risk of Nautilus being discovered, Thirteen didn’t have the leisure to hold back his punches.
“Tiona, we will also attack,” Thirteen stated, making the Black Snake coiled on his neck nod her head.
Thirteen summoned a black bow in his hand as Tiona crawled onto his right arm.
She then made her body as hard as Adamantium and allowed her Master to use her as an arrow to his bow.
After aiming at the Rank 4 Monster that was flying towards Shana, Thirteen released the string of her bow, allowing Tiona to pierce the head of the Monster, who died not knowing how it died.
The battle that would soon be known as the Battle of the Valkyries started in full swing.
