Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 1067 - 1069: Worry

Mr. Jones had long known that his daughter would definitely not stay in City A Base quietly.

While he could still hold Sean back and not let him participate in the grand magic beasts' tide, Amelia chose to follow Arnold and headed over there.

This made Mr. Jones extremely conflicted.

He only have three children and two of them chose to fight on the frontline for various reasons.

Mr. Jones could accept Samuel going.

Because he knew very well that Samuel is a returnee and his identity had long constrained his movement and forced him to stay on the frontline.

But Amelia...

Sometimes, Mr. Jones wondered if he should have restrained his daughter and prevented her from taking risks so much. When she was training with Arnold in City A Base and the areas nearby, Mr. Jones had long wanted to stop her.

There was no need for Amelia to be so strong.

As long as she could protect herself well and didn't get hurt, Mr. Jones would not pay that much attention to his daughter's behavior.

Unfortunately, Amelia's plan was for herself to go to the frontline on her own.

And she's extremely stubborn when she really didn't need to.

But Mr. Jones hoped that his daughter could be safe, so he made arrangement for her to stay with the army. In this way, she didn't have to continuously risk her life and her safety was somewhat guaranteed.

Though...

Amelia was not that thrilled when she found out where she was stationed.

Unfortunately, she had no time to complain as the grand magic beasts' occupied everyone's attention away.

This naturally also included the backup soldiers.

The battle continued for more than two months straight without giving any of the returnees any time to rest. The soldiers who were staying on the back could still get some rest to a certain degree.

But it was obvious that this wouldn't last long.

They might change their shift from time to time, but it was obvious that everyone was tired. They simply couldn't imagine just how heavy the pressure would be for those who stood at the forefront all the time.

"Ugh..." Amelia was sitting to rest and looked at the distance with a sigh.

There were many magic beasts coming out of the passage and if it was rank 7 magic beasts or lower, neither of the returnees would deal with them.

Even though Riya did make a move in the beginning...

But later on, the powerful magic beasts appeared and she simply didn't have enough energy to spare. She had to focus on dealing with the strongest magic beast or her mana would not be enough to spare.

And the soldiers were changing shift one by one to ensure that they would have enough energy to deal with the magic beasts.

Due to the large area of the walls that they constructed, there were also many other people who joined in the battle even if they were not soldiers. But they have to follow the soldiers' arrangement to ensure that the battle would proceed well.

Most of them were magician or magic warriors, though.

It was not like there were no warriors, but most warriors had to fight in close combat battle and if their rank was not high enough, the soldiers couldn't allow them to participate.

There were also the magicians from the Magic Association that Riya thrown in some time ago.

These magicians from the Magic Association were already a bit better.

At least, they were willing to listen.

Moreover, most of the troublesome magicians from the Magic Association have long died in the claws of these magic beasts.

They didn't even have the chance to complain before they were torn to shreds.

And no one actually felt pity for them.

Because they had seen these magicians from the Magic Association made trouble and put their own lives on risk. In this crucial life and death's battle, who could care for troublemaking magicians from the Magic Association.

They have used up a lot of resources for their growth, so shouldn't they repay the continent that nurtured them?

At least, this was what most people were thinking.

Because the actions of the magicians from the Magic Association over the past three years were a bit....

Hard to say.

"I'm so tired, Arnold," Amelia complained after she stuffed the dried meat that had been prepared for them. There was no time to process the magic beasts' meat so much and most of them were only either roasted and dried.

Moreover the rank 9 magic beasts' meat were handed over to Peter for him to eat not long after he killed it and then the chefs from the Martial Arts Association processed the corpses.

The remaining parts that couldn't be eaten were taken away.

The soldiers were usually only eat the rank 8 or rank 7 magic beasts' meat depending on what's available. There were also a support team that kept on processing the magic beasts' corpses at the fastest speed possible.

It could be said that Continent Z should be the one that lasted the longest in this war if it was just a matter of war of attrition.

Because they were more prepared.

Though, many magic beasts' corpses couldn't be used because they were destroyed in the subsequent battle.

Amelia was still getting some kind of preferential treatment because of her status.

Moreover, she was also very good at using her magic and had fought with a lot of magic beasts, helping the soldiers along with her team members.

"You can rest for now. No one is forcing you to fight continuously." Arnold also took a break and stayed with Amelia.

Ever since the rank 10 magic beasts appeared, Arnold and Ruben had long retreated to the rear and assigned to help the soldiers instead. Because Samuel and Riya didn't have time to care for them.

They have to seize every single second to make sure that their condition could recover to the peak condition in such a short period of time.
