Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 1054 - 1056: The Pieces

*crack*

The Green Planet's Consciousness calmly operated from its position, blocking the other side's attempt to repair and made another passage.

From the very beginning, the Green Planet's Consciousness ensured that there were only 4 passages in total with each of them appearing in the most appropriate location. With each continent having one passage, the returnees could focus on them.

The Green Planet's Consciousness would sent most of the troublesome magic beasts towards Continent Z.

The light and dark element towards Continent X for Pena to handle.

The weaker ones would be divided between Continent W and Continent Y alternately, allowing these magic beasts to be killed by these continents that were somewhat weaker than Continent X and Continent Z.

It was not like the Green Planet's Consciousness wanted to favor these two continents...

But the three most talented people after scouring the entire Green Planet were located in these two continents.

It could only made plans in accordance to this matter.

"One piece have finished the role and the second one is almost fulfilled it." the Green Planet's Consciousness saw the development on Continent W and there was no trace of surprise in its expression.

It had long known what Ruth would do in that situation.

Because in each and every single one of the future that the Green Planet's Consciousness saw, Ruth would never change her decision.

Once she was pressured enough, she would choose to sacrifice herself to destroy the passage.

The power varied, though.

It was not that powerful and the Green Planet's Consciousness felt that Ruth should have spent more time to accumulate more strength.

But it's enough.

With only three passage and their inability to create more passage to the Green Planet, the Green Planet's Consciousness knew that the chance of success would be higher.

"Now, when will the rest of the pieces fell on their places?"

The Green Planet's Consciousness turned its attention to the other continents, awaiting the time for these people to act.

...

Long distance away, Continent Y.

Boom!

"What do you mean that we have to use the nuclear weapon? There are indeed thousands of magic beasts, but the returnees are still in the location and you will kill them if you use the nuclear weapon!"

"Continent W had already used the nuclear weapon and I don't think it's possible for us to hold on any longer. The ammunition has been used up by more than 90% and with the battle intensity, we'll run out of bullets soon enough!"

The officials and the military were debating heavily.

They all knew very well that the current situation was far from stable.

With so many magic beasts pouring out of the passage, they were slowly getting overwhelmed. Everyone thought in the beginning that they would be able to defend the Green Planet and that nothing bad would ever happen.

Everyone was filled with hope.

Not only hope, they were also thinking that as long as they passed by the dangerous period when the magic beasts came to the Green Planet, nothing bad would ever happen.

They would survive.

They could win.

The Green Planet will stay intact and thrive.

But after more than two months of continuous battle without giving any chance to rest, everyone was exhausted.

Not only physically but also mentally.

The returnees were basically the one who had to bear the greatest pressure with each and every single one of them standing at the forefront to deal with the magic beasts. But this didn't mean that the soldiers behind them were not under pressure.

It was the opposite.

Each and every single one of them were working hard just to defend their homeland.

On Continent Y, when their relationship with the returnees were practically the worst and the two sides were unable to work together, the military had to spend more ammunition in order to defend themselves.

Thankfully Continent Y has more resources than Continent W and had accumulated a large number of ammunition during the past year.

Even before that, it seemed that their military was quite strong.

And now they were just using this advantage to ensure that even without the cooperation of the returnees, they could still kill these magic beasts as many as possible.

The situation was relatively stable.

At the very least, they all could see that everyone was fighting fiercely and the magic beasts didn't get out of their outermost perimeter.

The inner perimeter was barely hanging on because there were still three returnees who were forced to fight with some magic beasts escaping from their encirclement.

But these magic beasts never went too far.

They would be stopped by the soldiers who were waiting on the outer circle before they could even go far.

In this way, the grand magic beasts' tide would not cause that much negative impact for Continent Y.

The biggest problem was only the fact that there were so many magic beasts here.

The number kept on accumulating.

And they were slowly unable to hold on with most of their ammunition completely used up in order to deal with the magic beasts.

Who knows how many soldiers have already sacrificed their lives at this point.

It was truly...

"But this didn't mean that we have to sacrifice the three people! Even if their relationship with us is not good, this is not the reason for us to use their lives to protect ourselves!"

"The question whether to sacrifice a few people to save a thousands people or vice versa has been a question that no one could answer... but in this situation, we have to make a decision."

The officials and the military were unable to come to a conclusion.

One side felt that it was fine to sacrifice these three returnees.

But the other side felt that they should not do something so inhumane.

Even if these returnees were not on good terms with the officials, they were still working to deal with the magic beasts and helped them.
