Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 1002 1004: Battle

It would have been better to give those valuable resources to the soldiers who selflessly defend the Green Planet!

Not only Riya, even Samuel's expression was not very good.

Because they all didn't know where the passage would be opened, every city base would be equipped with soldiers and people from those two associations.

Once the passage' location has been determined, they would send half of their soldiers to help out.

The rest would be stationed in their respective city bases in case of emergency.

Since they knew that the grand magic beasts' tide would be powerful, any profession below rank 4 would be stationed in their respective city base as emergency. Only those rank 4 and above would be sent to help.

But now...

Riya found that many rank 3 magicians were mixed in.

The warriors were fine and Samuel could sense their power.

"General, I think I need to pay a visit to the Capital City for a while," Samuel said without hesitation and turned around.

"Ah?" The general was stunned.

He looked at Samuel's departing back and then at the passage in front of them. Before he knew it, Riya had also disappeared.

The General: "..." Sir, it's not like I don't want to protect you, but it seems to be impossible to protect you.

Thankfully, there were still two returnees here.

Otherwise, Continent Z wouldn't be able to handle it.

...

Continent X

To be honest, the people in this continent was actually ready to face the brutal battle and knew that things might not end too well.

But no matter what they were thinking of, they all stood still and readied themselves.

It was just...

"The passage was opened not far from where Pena is located..." one of the Generals said with a strange expression.

Who would have thought that the passage would specifically chose the island where Pena is located among other island?

Moreover, they could see from the satellite images that Pena was doing well.

He had prepared a large army confronting these magic beasts and forcefully stoped them from entering from the passage.

Even if there were some rank 7 magic beasts and occasional rank 8 magic beast, they were not Pena's opponent. He even turned some powerful magic beasts' corpses into his own army and looked extremely pleased with it.

"Do you want to help?"

"Can we help?"

The soldiers looked at each other.

In the past year, it was not like they hadn't made any preparation whatsoever. In fact, everyone was working hard in order to make sure that they could possibly face these magic beasts' invasion.

But even the highest among them was only rank 7 and it was only one person.

Oh wait, two people.

After all, Leon still managed to advance to rank 7 after a year of bitter training.

He might spend most of his time working on the weapons and various tools, but he also set himself a goal to advance to rank 7. While this is still not comparable to other returnees, he had to have enough abilities to protect himself.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to survive.

"No need." Leon was also present.

As a returnee who had more experience in a completely different world and the fact that he had been training hard too in the past year, the officials allowed him to join in their discussion.

Because they all understood that Leon was not the kind of person who focused on battle.

He's more of a support profession.

So even if his own ranks were high, he wouldn't be able to do much in battle.

It would be better to keep him to help producing various weapons that they could use in battle and so on.

"But..."

"Pena will kill most of the powerful magic beasts. Even if some might escape towards the sea... that's when we have to start moving." Leon pursed his lips.

There were countless magi beasts under the sea and they were the main threat for Continent X. So far, he had already created various weapons and tools to help them hunt the magic beasts hiding in the water.

Because if these magic beasts grew up, they might end up threatening the Green Planet.

So not only had they been strengthening themselves, they were also busy dealing with various magic beasts.

"Will he be so kind to do it?" An official with real power frowned. "What if he chose to abandon the island?"

"He won't." Leon shook his head.

In fact, Leon suspected that Pena chose this one island on purpose because he could sense that the passage would open on that island. How he managed to know this kind of thing, Leon didn't know and didn't have any plan to find out about it.

But he could guess the reason why Pena did this.

It was for the corpses of these high ranked magic beasts.

A necromancer needed a lot of resources to cultivate their army and the magic beasts on the Green Planet were limited in strength and variety. Even though it was still large enough for other people on the Green Planet, these returnees all looked down on it.

They knew that it was still far from comparable to the large number of magic beasts on Afirer Kingdom.

So if Pena has any reason to stay and confronted these magic beasts...

It was simply to take over their corpses after their death!

"Pena will be fine. We just need to play the supporting role," Leon said with a smile on his face.

As for what would happen afterwards...

He didn't care too much.

Leon believed that there will be other returnees who could possibly deal with Pena and there was no need for him to worry so much.

The others looked at each other and after some discussion, everyone agreed.

...

Continent W.

Unlike Continent X with Pena who was acting arbitrarily yet still fought most of the magic beasts for his own desire and goal, the people on Continent W was nervous because they saw the passage was opening deep in their region.
