We were in deep discussions when finally, the battle above the thing ended; everyone disappeared, both Grimms and humans, and a few seconds later, they appeared in central command.
Not all ca back with their real bodies; so had only appeared in projection, while others with their real bodies. Lady Angela, Lady Atkins, and Lord Singh have appeared back in their real bodies, while everyone else is in their projection.
We need Grand Lords out; the Grimms are everywhere, and while we could travel very fast, a delay of even a few seconds could cause unimaginable destruction. With Grand Lords out, they could sense the energy with their vast soul sense and move toward it before they could cause any damage.
"Now that everyone has arrived, we will discuss the most important topic," said the supre commander, and everyone's expressions turned serious.
"I think it is ti that we recall our forces from the battlefields," she said, and barely anyone seed surprised by it. From what I have been in this one and half hours, that pyramid had called back the knights, but everyone above them is still fighting across the thousands of battlefields.
"It is a wise choice; there are thirty Grand Lords from both races, and it is causing huge destruction, and millions of people have already died from residual energy and shockwaves of our battle,"
"It is ti," affird Lady Angela.
"I am activating the harsha protocol then," she inford. If she had been a grand commander, she would have needed the permission of the Grand Lords, but with her being supre commander, she had 99% independence on the decision; there are very few on which now needs the concess of the Grand Lords.
The harsha protocol is a complex one involving the retreat of forces and sending people into safe places, places like fortified bunkers, abodes, and secret realms, which have been modified to take refugees in warti.
More than half of them have been filled; the rest half will be filled too quickly; soon, most of the cities will be deserted, and the population will be herded into the safe places till the war reach a conclusion.
Not all forces would retreat; Grandmasters and High-Grandmasters will remain in the battle; their battles will also turn intense, especially of the High-Grandmasters; they are the ones below the Grand Lord class, and they will fight to the death because this is the only way they could survive and the only chance they have to reach the Grand Lord.
It is common knowledge among the high-level powerhouses that only during the war ti is reaching the Grand Lord class possible.
So, especially those who were not able to reach the Grand Lord class, even entering that thing, will vie for it.
"Be careful of the Grimms," cautioned Patriarch Bradford; there will be no resistance from the Grimms; there rarely is when it cos to this retreat, but the bastard loved to play the trick; kill the armies so that future trouble would not co to them; we have lost armies in such in every war, but this ti, the number will be much smaller.
We have a huge number of Grandmaster and High-Grandmaster class powerhouses, enough to deal with any trouble from Grimm. Not to ntion, we will also be keeping an eye on the whole operation, stepping in imdiately the mont we have sensed the interference of enemy Grand Lords.
"All the Grimms have retreated, but they will co again very soon with a much better plan in mind, that we will need to be extrely cautious in dealing with it," said Matron Mavis before turning to .
"Especially you, Michael; it is you who they will all try to kill most, might even try sothing that is not to be expected," she warned, "I will be careful," I replied.
The Grand Commander had opened her mouth to say sothing but closed it as if soone had appeared in central command. It was Ashlyn; she appeared and instantly went inside without even looking at the people around .
She is not tired, but I still asked her to co back for a little while; to take the energies I have got from harvesting the Grimm; with it, she will be stronger, and I am more relieved with her fighting on the battlefield.
"I always thought that bird of yours was strange but did not expect her to be this strange," said Lady Angela; "The powers she had, the way she fights, is completely different from other monsters I have seen in my life," she added, and she is not the only ones with those thoughts, nearly everybody is.
I did not say anything other than smile.
"Everyone rest while you can; it won't be long before Grimms co back again," said Matron before turning to , "Michael, I did not want to pressure you, but please quickly find a way to extend the suppression of the curse; it will be better if you find a way to cure it," she added.
"I will try, Matron," I replied; she nodded and disappeared.
Soon, one by one, all the Grand Lords disappeared till only I remained with Supre Commander; there were also Lord Whitmore and Lord Hern, and seeing the way they were looking at , they seed to be very much part of this discussion.
"Lord Zaar, I want to start by apologizing to you." "I was not properly able to handle the responsibility you have left with," she said, looking very guilty.
"My family and teacher seed fine," I said back; I had asked Grandmistress Charline about them, whom I trust explicitly, and she said they were fine, and also, my mother hadn't returned yet.
"Not fine; the condition of your teacher is sort of different," she said hesitantly, and instantly my eyes hardened. "There is no threat to the life of your teacher, and her strength has taken a huge leap, but her condition has changed," added Lord Whitmore, hastily seeing my expressions change.
"I will be a judge of that after eting the teacher," I said and got up before they could say anything.
Though I am relieved knowing Angela is fine and healthy, it is clear by their words and expression of Grandmistress Charline that sothing had happened to Marina, and I want to know it.
I walked out of the central command and saw the woman there, waiting for ; I had asked her to wait for when the eting ended.
"Has sothing happened, Lord Zaar; you seed different than you were a minute ago," she said, looking at . "I co to know about sothing, but it is not serious," I replied; she looked at but did not ask the reason.
"I had asked you to wait for to give you this; it is sothing that will be very useful to you," I said, and a blue orb appeared in my hand, and imdiately her eyes went wide.
"What is this?" she asked, barely able to control her emotions. "Orb of mor," I replied before handling her.
It was from Rofta, the Frogman, the fourth-rank reward it had chosen after finishing the challenge; when I saw it the first ti and imdiately thought of her.
So, when Ashlyn dumped the storage in the core earlier, I imdiately took it out for her.
