Alex blinked his eyes a couple of times after seeing them.

Alex sidestepped and whispered into Riya's ears softly.

"Riya, when did these clowns arrive?"

Now it was Riya's time to be surprised.

"Alex, I don't think this is a time to joke, "Riya spoke and moved away a bit wondering what kind of crooked thought is being cooked in Alex's mind now.

Alex frowned seeing Riya's action.

No, he didn't know about them. Maybe he had forgotten about their existence or did they arrive now and didn't contribute to anything?

But whatever may be the case, their presence in itself was a shock for Alex as they were standing in a danger zone.

Alex maintained his professional front, and spoke" What are you doing here?"

"Sir Alex since we all are part of reserve units. We have decided to follow you. We may still lack in many things but at least our presence can be of some help."Meller spoke, stepping forward.

Alex nodded.

He felt a bit satisfied seeing Meller change. If the parents teach their children properly, maybe they wouldn't be haughty.

"Okay, you all can follow us but let me warn you. If you fall back, we will not stop for you and will just abandon you."

"Yes!"All of them shouted.

Alex and his men followed by ten thousand soldiers set out to leave the second defence line.

Alex had already given the nobles a warning and if they dared to nitpick now, he would just throw them out.

The nobles along with their troops were quickly left back.

Alex along with Barack who knew the area quite well was in the lead and everyone was moving according to their guidance.

They had gone through bushes and climbed steep slopes but for many, it was nothing compared to what they have gone through during the training of one month in the Garrison unit.

On the way, they looked for signs of war nearby and fortunately, Alex found out through the help of the scouts that the third and fourth defence lines hadn't been attacked.

The fifth defence was attacked but they were successful in repelling the enemies.

As they reached the rear, they heard the sound of a groan.

As soon as Alex heard the sound, he stopped his soldiers from a certain distance as he deemed it necessary to know the identity of the person.

"He is a soldier from the sixth defence line."

Some people recognized him at once.

And surprisingly he wasn't alone and there were almost a hundred figures with him.

The conditions of the soldiers looked quite pitiful. Their clothes had been stained with blood and their faces were pale.

Alex issued his men to hurry and they started to check their conditions. Although all of them were injured, there were not any life-threatening wounds. Alex's men performed the first ad and after diluting the healing potions and paste, they applied them over the wounds.

Seeing their condition stabilised, Alex asked"What happened?"

The soldier looked at Alex and his troops and their eyes became hazy.

Their hearts teared up as they tried to speak"The sixth defence line is no more. It wasn't war. We were able to hold them initially but once the gates were opened, we were butchered. It was a massacre."

"Commander Terry fought till last breath and brought us some time to escape. We wanted to live and accompany him to the afterlife, but he made us swear to live and take revenge for him rather than waste our life."

As soon as he finished his sentence, his eyes became swollen and all of them started to grieve for their dead comrades.

They have been alive because their brother-in-arms sacrificed their lives. They owed them a lot and they wanted to pay back the enemy but was there even a way for them to achieve this as they are getting beaten from all sides?

The soldiers from the second defence line once again thought about Alex's presence as it was only because of him they were able to stay alive.

"You can cry and grieve as much as you want today. Once you are done, be prepared to raise your sword to take the lives of the enemy."

"You will get your chance to take revenge. Believe me, you will soon have your chance. And for that, start preparing yourself mentally from now."Alex tried to motivate them and lift their spirits.

After taking a short break, Alex asked everyone to speed up as he wanted to reach the Garrison unit before nightfall.

They were able to make it in time. Although the sun was setting and everything had become dark, they were able to make it in time.

But Alex's expression was stiffened as he saw flames from afar.

And as his men drew near, he could see the whole of Fort surrounded by the enemies.

Alex felt as if he had been struck by lightning as he saw the scene.

The Western Garrison units serve as a communication and act as a reserve so it was at the back of the Western Front but even a place like this was attacked.

This implied that most of the defence line had fallen and these Defence lines were unable to maintain the task for which they were made.

'The Arkham kingdom had attacked four defence lines at once and one of the units had crossed the defence line and reached here.'

'But how is this possible for them to reach here so fast? I will think about it once the war starts.'

Alex pulled out his sword and ordered"Raise your swords and slay the enemies. We greatly outnumber the opposing force so our victory is already determined."

"So, just rush there and crush them down."

The enemies who were surrounding the fort suddenly heard a loud noise from afar and as they looked back, their eyes almost bulged seeing a huge mass of enemy soldiers.

Some stood rooted on the ground while some reacted quickly but they were swept as if they were nothing.

Inside the Wester Garrison Quarters, they were still survivors and were giving their best to live.

Standing at the training field, stood many who were surrounded by enemies from all sides.

They were exhaling harshly and their condition looked quite dire. The armour on their body had been torn off and their bare skin was revealed with blood continuing to flow from their wounds.

"Why don't you all just die?"

"It's just a meaningless struggle."

The Arkham soldiers were mocking them and enjoyed the situation thoroughly.

The Kinley soldiers could feel their vision becoming blurry and their throats going dry.

Johnson who was among them jumped first.

"Come one bastard, we will risk our lives to take you with us. Which asshole is going to step forward."

The Kinley soldiers screamed in anger and pounced on Arkham soldiers crazily.

All of them swing their swords like mad men.

Usually, a person who had no reason to live and a person who is willing to risk his life were the most dangerous when pushed into the corner and Arkham soldiers were experiencing this.

A handful of Kinley's soldiers fought like wounded tigers but it was meaningless as they could feel strength escaping from their bodies.

Just then, they heard loud shrieks coming from outside.

Kuak!

Pauk!

The Arkham soldiers standing near the gates were blown away like rag dolls.

A red line emerges from a man who charged in like a god of death taking down the lives of the Arkham soldiers as if they were nothing but ants.
