Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 912

Chapter 912: Chapter 912 - Taming the Fifth Year - Attrition - Final Battle - 11

The group of almost forty high-quality tamers Selphira had brought was exceptional in terms of individual capability. Each one trained and experienced. Each one worth ten normal soldiers in combat.

But they couldn’t cover the complete open area and underground that the flow exploited.

The math was impossible and cruel... Forty defenders spread across kilometers of frontage meant gaps. Meant hundreds of mutants slipping through regardless of how efficiently defenders fought. Meant failure not through lack of skill but through insufficient coverage.

Hundreds of mutants entered the city through a breach they couldn’t close. Massive infiltration that would have resulted in massacre of defenseless civilians under normal circumstances.

And all Selphira and Arturo could do was observe with growing horror while containment failure unfolded despite their best efforts.

They killed dozens... Then hundreds.

Their beasts were effective. But for every mutant they eliminated, three more passed around them. The flow was simply too broad and too sustained to stop with available forces.

The enemy soldiers now watched from a safe distance near the ruin’s entrance.

Most waiting and observing how Selphira and Arturo tried with a few of their own to stop the flow but only tired themselves more in attempts that were futile from the beginning.

They didn’t intervene to help. Didn’t celebrate the success of the strategy their leaders had executed. Just watched with expressions varying widely depending on family affiliation.

Many soldiers looked with disdain because they knew their families wouldn’t be affected by location. And because they’d been explained before how the "new technology" recovered and improved from Yino functioned.

These were the loyalists. True believers in Orion’s group or at least committed enough to the rebellion that unknown civilian casualties didn’t matter if they served a larger purpose. They watched the mutant invasion with satisfaction. Proof that plan was working. Proof that Selphira’s and Arturo’s authority was insufficient to prevent catastrophes.

Many other lower-rank soldiers looked with deep sadness as mutants invaded the city they belonged to. Places where their families lived and where they’d grown before being forced to join military forces.

These were conscripts... People who’d had no choice about serving, who’d been told to fight for a cause they didn’t necessarily believe in. Now they watched their city being invaded and could do nothing without inviting execution.

Some more attempted deserting. Breaking discipline driven by desperate need to protect their loved ones in direct danger.

But they were also eliminated by their leaders without hesitation or mercy.

Summary executions communicating that betraying the rebel faction was punished with immediate death. Warning making others contemplating similar action reconsider and remain in their assigned positions.

The other soldiers stopped trying to help or desert finally at a certain point. Defeated acceptance that there was no option that would be not resulting in terrible consequences one way or another.

A few more managed escaping by exploiting chaos to slip between lines. Running toward the city with hope of reaching their families before the mutants did.

And what those few who escaped found when they reached more internal parts of the city was... confusion mixed with massive relief.

What was a tremendous relief for several soldiers who’d managed to escape to protect their families was simultaneously the battle Ren and the academy students were facing several hundred kilometers away. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
