"Attack, attack, keep attacking!" Aileen’s grandfather, Albert Risevan, shouted.
Around him were a thousand explorers. They were spreading in all directions, fighting against all the beasts inside the city.
Albert couldn’t help but mutter, "What that brat Erwin said was actually true. If this beast wave continued, our city, which was about to recover, would have to handle this alone."
In another city, Rafael, the rising star of the Stellar City, shouted. "We can’t lose. Fighting in this place is much better than letting our city get razed to the ground by all these beasts. We will kill the beasts right now! Do you want to expose your family to danger?"
"NO!" The soldiers shouted in unison.
"Do you want to let these beasts eat the children of our city?"
"NO!"
"Kill them all! Don’t let every single beast escape!"
"Uoohh!" The soldiers were fired up. He had been entrusted with the task of killing ten thousand beasts hiding in one of the suspected cities.
Although he wasn’t particularly close to Libation Fiesta, he had exchanged numbers with Jay after that fight. He recognized Jay as a fighter worthy of his acknowledgment.
It was surprising that a few days ago, Jay would send him an image of an abandoned city infested with beasts.
When he gave it to his father, the commander, they finally understood the scheme of the enemies. They had been hiding all the beasts inside the abandoned cities and continued destroying one city after another with a surprise attack.
This was like a ray of hope in their desperate situation. They had thought that they would have to face the beast wave, but if Clovis’ plan worked, they could actually survive this ordeal with minimal losses.
A few days ago.
"What? You want to move to other cities to help us? But how? Even though you’re probably the target, it doesn’t change the fact that this is just a mere speculation. In addition, we don’t have enough influence to actually ask other cities’ help." Vania explained.
"I know, Mom." Kanaria scratched the back of her head. "However, this must be done. We won’t be able to handle a hundred thousand beasts by ourselves, so we have to thin out their number as much as possible. This is a super secret mission that needs to succeed if we want to defeat the enemies."
"But how…" Vania gritted her teeth.
"I’m probably the only one who can do it." An aged voice echoed from the corner of the room.
"!!!" Both Vania and Kanaria turned their heads, surprised to see this old man. "Grandfather (Father)."
"Hahaha." Kanaria’s grandfather chuckled. "Did he mention anything about me?"
"Yes. He said that you might have a way to do that. And Jay was doing the same thing."
He made a smug smile. "As expected, that old monster… I mean, that old master’s grandson is extraordinary. If it’s me, there is still a chance to convince them. No. Should I say that not only that old son would get involved, you must have a way to convince the mayor, right?"
"He would do that personally, he said. How did you know, Grandfather?"
"I’m thinking about the number. How many are they? How much does he want this city to handle?"
"We don’t know. Our current information is that the enemy has more than a hundred thousand beasts. Our speculation is about 110,000-130,000 beasts. Clovis wants to stop at least 50,000 beasts from coming here," Kanaria explained.
"Suppose I, the old son, and the mayor are able to get reinforcement, it’s still not enough."
"We have Erwin and one more connection that Jay can handle. In Erwin’s case, it’s pretty much guaranteed. However, we don’t know if Stellar City will help us or not."
"I see. But moving that many explorers will be hard, you know."
"Especially with such a short notice." Kanaria nodded in understanding. "But we don’t have a choice. To stop them from discovering the reinforcements, we’re thinking about marching through the underworld."
He couldn’t help but smile. "Hahaha. This is interesting. In the end, no one can escape if this city is destroyed. I’ll try to bluff my way there by saying that we manage to gain their attention and sure that we’ll be attacked. Knowing that they only need to take care of ten thousand beasts will make it easier to convince them than reinforcing our city to fight against a hundred thousand beasts."
Kanaria nodded. "That’s the plan. We don’t have a lot of time."
"I know. For the sake of my future grandson-in-law, I can’t be stingy. I’ll depart right away." He waved his hand and turned around.
Kanaria looked excited since the problem was solved before she even asked her mother to convince her grandfather.
To her surprise, before he left, he stopped for a second and asked, "That’s right. I almost forgot to ask one question."
"What is it?"
"When will I get to see my great grandson?"
Kanaria looked frustrated as she shouted, "Why are you like Mom? You’re asking the same thing!"
Both of them exchanged looks. He gave a thumbs up to Vania while the latter said, "That’s the secret, my dear daughter. It’s running in our family. You’re the same as us."
"Aaaahhhh. I don’t hear anything!" Kanaria screamed and stormed out of the room, leaving the two laughing out loud.

"What did you say?" The terrorist couldn’t believe what he heard from Clovis.
Clovis smiled. "Your plan is already crumbling before you realize it."
The terrorist gritted his teeth. ’How could he know about our plan? If that were true, it meant that there might not be even a hundred thousand beasts attacking this city. We wouldn’t have enough beasts to cause commotions in this city to kill this brat. But how? Did someone tell…’
The terrorist came to a realization. There was one person who could find out their plan and give that information to Clovis. It was the mule.
Seeing that stunned face made Clovis want to say, "You are screwed."
