Chapter 1935 - The Target (1/2)
It was late evening when I was able to return; the scenes are I had seen earlier were weighing on my mind; From the afternoon to midnight, five million humans had already died. This number is even greater than the records of the past epoch war, where four million people had died.
Even Pyramid seemed to surprise by the number of casualties in a single day, though the experts are saying numbers would decrease a lot in few days when the weaklings got weeds out but still, what kind of number is five million.
The number of deaths in the Grimm Monsters side is even higher, but it does not matter; they have a huge number, and there are many more that are hiding. That once those forces are revealed, we would have to try our all to hold them back.
Ive seen the battles, and it is exceptionally bloody, where both sides are hellbent on hacking each other on every battlefield on the eleven contested continents.
There are a total of sixteen minor continents; of sixteen, three are totally occupied by the Grimm Monsters while the two are in the hands of humans; within a month or two, these dynamics will change. The war will also reach the continents which have been completely occupied by the other side.
As I had said, nobody will be spared in this war; it will be spread everywhere, and everybody will become involved in it, including us.
Currently, Elina and I have been excluded from the war deployment; we have been added into project 'New Elites'; we will not be deployed till we have become elite, but we do not have unlimited time; at max, we have six months before Pyramid will be a forced to deploy us.
From Academy only, Elina and I had been included in this project, but I am sure there will be more people from other organizations, including those from supremes.
To be honest, I did not like this exclusion from the war; seeing the scenes of battle, I wanted to join my brethren, help them against the Grimm Monsters, but the Pyramid is right.
We need to focus on our progress; we are the ones with the greatest potential that could change the directions, but before we do that, we have to grow into our full potential, and the first step of that is becoming a Tyrant.
The Pyramid had already said they expected each and every one of us to be a peak Elite at the least when we broke up into the Tyrant stage.
This is too low of the target for Elina and me right now; I already have a strength of the peak elite; if Pyramid comes to know about it, I am sure even Grand Commander would be shocked by it.
