After destroying the Academic World's temporary frontline position, the Destroyers began sweeping through the vast occupied territories, laying waste to everything in their path in tribes and squads. Now, two months later, they had gathered once more before the Blue Sky Engineering Academy.
Although the Destroyer army assembled this time was only a small fraction of the invading force, it still outnumbered the Blue Sky Engineering Academy's forces several times over. The academy could only rely on the massive wards and various mechanisms within its central campus to defend itself.
Fortunately, the council had not assigned Isotjon any specific duties.
