The following day dawned, with the sun just beginning to rise on the horizon. Nevertheless, on Earth, the distinction between day and night had become blurred, as the world was now enveloped in perpetual darkness. Even in the morning, the land remained as obscure as it did during the night. However, atop the summit of the God's Palm mountain range, the alliance had gathered in its entirety. In the most prominent location on the mountain, the towering flag of the alliance's commander-in-chief stood proudly aloft. The mountain breeze caused the grand flag to flutter and rustle.
Nathan stood with a sense of pride beneath the towering flag. Beside him stood Colin and Hepburn, while behind them stood the Elite Eight in a straight line. Further behind, there were the five thousand members of Tiger Brigade led by Myron, the five thousand members of Holy Warriors, and the five thousand members of Infernal Warriors. The only person missing from the scene was Leopold.
Nathan stood at an elevated position, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon. In the distance, on the western plains beyond the mountain range, Nathan's keen eyes discerned numerous dark spots emerging, resembling a tidal wave as they gradually approached their location.
It was the vampire army, marching steadily toward them. On the eastern side of the mountain range, Wolfric, having been informed of the imminent threat, took charge and rallied a formidable team of War Gods from diverse nations. Leading the combined forces of the alliance's main troops, they marched resolutely toward the mountains. The vampire army and the human alliance reached a location approximately fifty kilometers away from the God's Palm, coming to a simultaneous halt. After coming to a halt, the human alliance maintained a static position, with no immediate signs of movement. However, in the midst of the vampire army, a small but determined squad emerged, breaking away from the main force and charging up the mountain with unwavering determination.
Their eyes were fixed on the summit, their objective clear. Standing beside Nathan, Hepburn, equipped with military-grade night vision goggles, scanned the vampire troops in the distance. As she observed the movements, her eyes caught sight of several distinct flags fluttering among their ranks. Recognizing them, she couldn't contain her surprise and exclaimed, “Those are the royal banners of the vampires!”
She added, “It appears that Gregg is not alone. Joshua and Verhand have also joined the fray, and there's another royal banner alongside them. Ah, it seems to be Max's flag.”
Max?
