"..."

People were waiting for what was going to happen next. They didn't know when the monsters would head to the city, but it had been three days since they had evacuated. Hedonmar had been on guard for two days, preparing to welcome the monsters that would surge out from the forest.

"Di — di — di!" The alarm began to ring in the facilities of the inner city. The people beside him stood up abruptly. "Watch out!" "Be on alert!" he shouted.

"Inform all citizens of Hetonmar." The magic circle that surrounded the city formed a light barrier, "The Great Magic Formation of the Forest of Grains has disappeared. Please stay indoors and don't go out. We will protect everyone's safety."

"May the glory of the Queen bless us!"

Salia stroked her white hair as she put down the magical sound amplifying device in her hand. Then, she turned to look at Huya who was beside her and asked, "Tell me the details!"

White mist was being released from Huya's body, forming a map. "The tremendous elemental energy change that occurred in Gran Forest just now must have been due to the removal of the Great Magic Formation. Gran Forest should have already been officially lifted to this world by now."

Salia rubbed her temples and frowned. "Wake up First Lieutenant Liangyue and tell him to prepare for battle!"

Before Huya could reply, Liang Yue's voice interrupted him. "The broadcast was so loud just now. I still can't hear it?" Liang Yue yawned and walked in front of Selia. "Then, what do I need to do?"

Salia rolled her eyes at him and snappily said, "I don't know what kind of virtue you have. Just do as you said last night."

"Which one?" Liang Yue tilted her head in puzzlement.

"You …" Without waiting for Salia to lose her temper, Liang Yue suddenly exclaimed, "I know!"

With that, he disappeared and reappeared outside the command room.

"Wah …" "How terrifying!"

The city began to move.

"Listen up, we are fighting for ourselves right now, protecting our city. Those monsters are not even worth a single blow to you, do you hear me?"

"Yes sir!" The students in front of Liang Yue replied loudly.

"Remember, all of you are students of the academy!"

"Yes sir!"

Letting him deliver this kind of speech was not appropriate, but these students were all students of the Sword Arts Department, and the fifty students in front of him were the most outstanding fifty students of the Sword Arts Department. This was for this special unit, which was established to defend the city this time, but compared to ordinary soldiers, these students were different. They were existences similar to the special forces, where each of the fifty students of the other divisions had an extremely high individual combat ability.

"Then, prepare to go down, the battle is about to begin …"

"..."

With the destruction of the magic array, the whole forest was exposed, all camouflage was taken away, and this was the reality. Compared to the surroundings, the trees were distorted, and the strange color was out of place. This was just the outermost part of the dark forest, and they were showing their ferocious claws and fangs to the world.

"Boom —!" With a sound, the trees in the dark forest were pushed down, the black soil was flipped out, the huge feet landed on the ground, leaving behind its footprints in the snow on the outskirts of the forest. Then it was covered again, they started to come out from the forest, they have been waiting for this moment for hundreds of years, finally …

"Foolish humans, are you ready to face the wrath of the forest? You will experience the despair brought about by the great fire hundreds of years ago."

Suuta put down her axe and stared in the direction of Hedonmar, her eyes filled with rage.

Great seer, help us to become extinct.

It let out a roar and began to run. It rushed to the front of the monster without stopping. It waved the giant axe in its hand. "Boom!" The path ahead was split open, leaving behind huge wounds on the ground. Although the wounds couldn't heal, they were flattened by the monsters.

"..."

"The southern part of the Gran Forest experienced a large number of responses from living beings." "The monsters are on their way to Hedonmar, and it is their first judgment that these monsters are the minotaur, led by the minotaur king, Sauta."

"What else?" Salia looked at the magic map and asked, "What about the other races?"

"Currently, there's no way to confirm the location of the other races, but we can be sure that the Demon Cat and the Goblin have not come out of the forest yet."

"Is that so?" Salia stood up and walked outside, her long white hair hanging down behind her. "Carry out the plan and inform the generals of all levels of the garrison." She took out a gorgeous staff from the void and placed it in front of her. The winter wind brushed past her and lifted up her loose hair, revealing a corner of her pointed ear.

"Prepare to fight!"

As soon as she said that, a silver door appeared in front of her. As she stepped through the door, the silver door slowly closed, and she could vaguely see the wilderness beyond the city walls.

Liang Yue stood at the top of the white clock tower, looking at the distant sun which had already begun its warmest moment. Her ears echoed with a long bell, and she drew her sword from her waist, closing one of her eyes to aim at the sunlight. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her figure slowly began to disappear, her shadow gradually turning into nothingness under the sunlight.

"… …"

There were no guards on the city walls, only a group of students wearing special uniforms. They stood on the walls, fully armed, ready to attack at any moment. Only a hundred or so people seemed to be extremely rare compared to the massive walls.

About half of the students were lined up evenly on the city wall, some holding guns, some holding wands, while the other half was wearing a white cape. The defeated students wore a mask, and lined up in an orderly fashion, with their hands gripping the hilt of their swords, emitting a strong killing intent.

Liang Yue and Elizabeth stood by Selia's side, calmly watching the scene unfolding before them.

"Target, maximum attack range remaining 2 km away..."

"Yes."
