Night Is Coming (2)

Under the dark clouds.

In the heavy rain.

The endless sea of beasts slowly moved forward.

In the distant east, the flickering lights of the city could be faintly seen. That was their target.

"This is the largest Beast Tide since the Apocalypse."

On a certain mountain peak, a few people had solemn expressions as they communicated in low voices.

"Because they are facing the largest gathering place of humans in history."

"Can they block it?"

"...Yes."

"They should be able to."

"They must be able to."

"...No."

As soon as they finished speaking, they looked at each other.

Raindrops fell on their faces, making it difficult for them to tell if it was rain or something else...

"How much time do we have left in the capital?"

"Soon."

"Has the final report been sent out?"

"It was sent out five minutes ago. Now, all the signals are gone."
