Meanwhile, while Cedric and his bond were busy leveling up at the Babies' Cradle, things were not going well back at the puppeteer's grove.
Actually, things were quite chaotic.
In the ashen campground, dead bodies littered the ground and explosions thundered at almost every turn, sending plumes of thick, black smoke into the air. The cadets of the Bastion of Somarian Pride and the cadets from the Bastion of Crimson and Silver were engaged in a fierce battle, slaughtering one another. Currently, the cadets from the Bastion of Crimson and Silver were winning the war.
However, there were already so many casualties.
Princess Aurora's party, for instance, had lost almost half of its members. And hers was not the only one; several other influential parties led by the cadets of Crimson and Silver had been completely wiped out, including those of Alicia and Roben.
Well, truth be told, things would have been much, much worse had it not been for Cedric.
