The crowd on the playground had long been in a frenzy when that sword fell from the sky. They were in deep discussion, wondering where such power came from. Was it the power of the gods? Countless questions swirled in their minds.
"Did you see that just now? What in the world was that thing?"
"Anyone who didn't see it is clueless. That thing was too dominant. Could there really be gods in this world? I used to not believe, after all, the God of War is not a real god!"
"Now do you believe? I have known for a long time about the possibility of eternal life. It's a shame we realized it too late! After the end of the world, if we had known earlier, perhaps we could have developed to the point where we too could touch that pinnacle of power!"
"Don't pity yourselves. Just being able to attend this God of War Academy is good enough. Someday we'll make a name for ourselves, and someday we'll be able to obtain that high-end power, maybe even become an existence equal to the God of War."
The people were discussing fervently, and at this moment, no matter how heavy the rain fell, it could not extinguish the burning flame in their hearts. This was the thing they had longed for and anticipated.
"Where has Barrett Walker gone?" At this moment, the people finally thought of Barrett Walker.
Monica shook her head. She had originally thought that Barrett Walker had gone to hunt animals in the mountains again, but she didn't expect something so significant to happen. After waiting for so long without seeing him, she became somewhat anxious. She glanced at Julia and saw the same expression on her face. Looking around, the sky was still overcast with heavy rain pouring down, making people very uncomfortable.
"I don't know! Should we go in and take shelter from the rain? It shouldn't be as chaotic as it was before." Julia suggested. At this moment, the wind, rain, and thunder were raging, and the icy rain hitting their faces was extremely uncomfortable.
"Stop fooling around and listen to that sound!" Suddenly, a buzzing and vibrating sound came from the sky. The sound was low, but it transmitted very quickly and far, immediately filling the ears of many people, even those who had perforated eardrums, felt the vibration in the air.
Countless dark figures appeared densely in the sky, and on one side of the mountain, gigantic insects appeared one after another. Looking down from the sky, one could see that the mountains were filled with giant insects, one after the other, without any gaps.
"Look, the giant insects are coming!" Suddenly, on the various mountain peaks of the valley, numerous dark forts emerged, and the sound of cannon fire thundered, shaking the entire mountainous area, while at the same time, the rain in the sky was getting heavier.
"I knew it was impossible for this base to be built in the valley without anything to stop them around."
"Are those the 50-centimeter Paris giant cannons?"
"These things are all over the mountains!"
"Goodness, these giant cannons are terrifying. How much resources would it take to fire just one shot?"
"What else can we do? Look at those high-energy monsters in the sky. If we don't use them, how can we defend ourselves?"
Benjamin Blake had already informed headmaster Danois Leo. After coming out, he saw the high-energy monsters densely covering the sky and the low-energy monsters swarming from the nearby mountains. There were too many to count. He didn't understand why these creatures suddenly organized like madmen to attack this place, but could their thinking be understood by them?
"Darn it, if it's war, then let it be war." At this moment, Benjamin Blake was the highest officer here! With his decision made, he said fiercely and then ran towards the Sword Mound Tower. That was the core of this base! He saw Singh Phoenix and Glena supporting Mabel as they came out, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "The extraterrestrial monsters have launched a full-scale attack. Should we respond with a full-scale war?"

"A full-scale war. Do you know how serious the consequences are?" Singh Phoenix replied without hesitation, and after much thought, asked, "Has the headmaster been notified?"
"I just informed him. He should be arriving soon." Benjamin Blake replied.
"Very well, we must wait for them to arrive here, and only then shall we engage in battle. Prepare for all-out war now, and immediately instruct those students to seek shelter in the underground bunkers. They are seeds, not cannon fodder!" Singh Phoenix commanded, to which Benjamin Blake promptly agreed and hastened back.
"Keep an eye on her, I will go help," Singh Phoenix and Glena supported Mabel to sit against the wall, observing her unconscious state. Singh Phoenix said a few words, then swiftly ran back into the corridor.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! A muffled sound echoed, and suddenly a giant mantis swooped down from the sky, its slash causing blood and flesh to fly, landing amidst the group of students from the War God Academy. Panic ensued, with many people sitting down in fear, but soon realizing that it was not the time to stay put, they quickly backed away.
Rumble! Suddenly, the entire base shook once again, the tremors being very slight this time. The entire sports field quickly rose, revealing walls rising from the ground. Some people looked at the rising equipment, realizing that there were no unlocked bullets inside, causing a sense of disappointment. However, some could not resist reaching in, only to hear the continuous sound of the locks being opened, revealing the weapons inside. There was a large sword, two medium swords, numerous daggers, and five rounds of ammunition. There was also an AK47. The giant mantis could not come down from the densely packed walls, and the students were temporarily safe amid the commotion. Some of the more daring ones picked up the large swords from the cabinets, loaded their bullets, and began shooting and slashing at the mantis. Countless bullets were wasted, but in the end, they managed to kill the low-intelligence creature.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Suddenly, a shrill cry sounded from the sky, and one...two...countless flying monsters descended. Although they were large in size, they were temporarily unable to reach the students in the trenches, and more people on the ground began to pick up weapons and fight back.
"Students! Do not confront these monsters head-on. Pick up your weapons and leave quickly, through the passageway. Do not linger there," Benjamin Blake's voice suddenly came through the broadcast, echoing throughout the entire base.
"What should we do? Should we leave?" Julia looked at the students trapped inside and couldn't help but turn to ask for the opinions of Barren and others. These extraterrestrial creatures had arrived too quickly, as if they had planned it in advance.
"Let's fight for a while. Rescuing as many people as we can is better than doing nothing," Monica said softly, her tone uncertain. This was a small apocalypse, but it magnified human nature. If they went to rescue, they might also risk their own lives.
"Let's use the guns. Saving a few is better than none. It will also console our hearts," Barren's voice was also soft, fearing that it might influence the decisions of others. Even if they chose not to save lives, no one would know afterwards, and no one would condemn them.
Bang! Just as the few were still discussing, the high-energy monsters from the sky arrived. As soon as they landed, even though the passageway was made of steel, it was still pushed over by their momentum. In the eyes of the people, the high-energy monsters were a formidable presence. Those students who had seen them, had only done so in textbooks or in science museums. Now that they were truly seen, it was evident how powerful these monsters were. They had two heads, and could breathe fire and ice from their mouths, sweeping away large areas. Ordinary people couldn't stop them, only the capable warriors among the humans could.
At this moment, a few people were blocked by a high-energy monster with two heads, and could not escape. They could only fight desperately! Monica took the lead, wielding a large chopping knife in her hand, shining with a cold and fierce light. The large blade's wide arc was more suitable for cleaving, and it aimed at a fire dragon that was coming towards her. Monica stepped on a cabinet, then leaped high into the air, her speed astounding, and with a clanging sound, sparks flew as the large chopping knife cleaved downwards along the armor of the double-headed high-energy monster. The monster shook its heads, and Monica, along with her knife, flew out without any hindrance. Her lack of combat experience ultimately cost her dearly.
The double-headed high-energy monster flapped its wings hidden under its armor, swiftly chasing after Monica. Its two heads spewed fire and ice towards her, and she was about to be in distress in mid-air.
Bang! A gunshot rang out, as Barren continuously aimed his weapon at it, attempting to capture its attention. However, while the intention was noble, the harsh reality remained unchanged. The bullets merely clinked against its armored hide, providing nothing more than a light scratch.
