Chapter 1934 - The Address

"To all the members of the human race, it is with great pain I have to tell you that war with the Grimm Monster has been declared," Lady Hera said in a solemn voice.

"The war, as always is, will be brutal, and lots of lives will be lost, but we will slaughter ten times more of them with the intention of slaughtering their whole race and ending the war once for all," she said with her voice reaching higher octane.

We all watched her messages on the giant projection where we could see a bit of her expression, and I could see she was ready for war and meant every word she said.

The address continued with each word giving Grimm reality to humans but also making their blood boil. Whoever read her speech great writer, and she is giving great justice to them by delivering them such rousingly.

All of us listened to her each word carefully and prepared ourselves for the coming war; till now, the war was just a possibility, but now, it has become a reality; as Grand Commander is saying, it will be brutal, and we have to be ready experience the brutality this war brings.

I have read a lot about the war and saw how it even breaks the strongest. No one can hide from it and is safe from, even old monsters die, the only thing one could do is face the enemy without backing down and give our all for our motherland.

"I hope all you all give your all for this war, so we could heal with the wound of our motherland with the blood Grimm race," Grand Commander Hera said and finished her address.. The teacher turned off the projector and turned toward the Tyrants.

"I do not have the rousing speech as the Grand Commander Hera had just given, the only thing I will say is to prepare and on battlefield use, every card you have against the enemy, don't worry about being honorable is he the battlefield, it is killing the enemy that matters the most," Teachers said to Tyrants.

A few minutes later, all the Tyrants left, and the teacher prepared for her broadcast. It will be broadcasted over the academy and its territory.

A few minutes later, all the preparations were being done; the teacher stood in front of nine floating cameras with me and councilwomen marla behind her. The broadcast started, and after a minute of silence, the teacher began speaking.

If there had been any doubt remained in the heart of people of Riverfield territory, it had vanished with the broadcast of the teacher. The war is happening; it has become a reality for everyone and seeing the scale of the war, nobody is safe from it, no matter where they hide.

The address of the teacher had lasted for nearly an hour; she was concise and detailed in her address. She did not relieve the fear of the people, instead presented a grim reality with a ray of hope, invoking the past legend her speed.

"This war is anything we have fought in the thousands of years," Councilman Harrison said from his head, "My contacts in Pyramid are telling me the scale of it, could reach the Era War," Councilman Finn said, making everyone shudder with his words.

There had been only two Era wars in over ten thousand years, but each one of them took billions of people. The era wars are beyond destructive; so many people die in it that even sea turn red like blood and even survival of supremes isn't guaranteed.

"Ive received deployment order; I will have a report to the Orcoz city by tomorrow morning," Said councilman Rufus suddenly, and nobody is surprised by it. He possesses a special set of skills, and now that he became a leader class Tyrant, his deployment is nothing surprising.

"Be careful, Rufus, the war isn't anything you have encountered before," Councilman Marla said, "Don't worry Marla, I am not a fighter like you people, but even if I come across a group of powerful opponents, chances of me surviving would be much better," He said.

"Yes, your strange methods do give you a greater chance of surviving than us," Councilwomen Marla said with a smile.

I have never experienced the methods of the councilman Rufus, but I have heard about them from the teacher, and they are strange and effective. Many times, councilman Rufus was able to survive from the group of leader class Tyrants; the strange abilities of his inheritance let him do that.

"While we old people are relatively powerful, our strength is nothing in the grand scene of things," Councilman Finn said as he looked at elina and me.

"I do not want to say it give you children unnecessary pressure before you are, but circumstances do not give me the luxury to wait," he said.

"The future of academy is up to you two ones, and whether we survive the war or not will depend on you," He said. These are not simple words; there seemed to be a deep hidden meaning behind them.

"In every war since the last epoch war, the academy had been especially targetted. The twin jewels produced by the academy were the biggest reason the Grimm Race had lost the last epoch war and lost badly, and due to that, they hit our academy especially hard,"

"Till now, we have only been able to survive the wars due to protection Hawthorn Seal and Wisdom Tower, but in their war, even they would not able to protect, when their survival would not be guaranteed," He explained slowly.

I was quite surprised hearing that, but when I think about it, it is not as farfetched at all. Her Excellency Catherine and Ramona Hawthorn destroyed the Grimm Monsters in the last epoch war, and if they did, had that impregnable hidey-hole, they would have destroyed the whole Grimm Race.

"Don't worry, councilman, with us here, we will not let anything happen to the Academy," I said as I took Elina's hand into mine.
