In the aftermath of the tragic deaths of the intermediaries, the four regions—South, North, West, and Central Plains—began to mobilize their forces and prepare for the impending battle against the monsters. The news had stirred a sense of urgency and pressure within the hearts of the people, who looked to their strongest fighters with expectations.
In the South, known for its fiery spirit, preparations were in full swing. The region boasted an impressive number of A-rank degu users, reaching hundreds of thousands. These formidable individuals possessed extraordinary abilities, honed through countless hours of training and dedication. They were renowned for their fierce combat skills and unwavering loyalty to their homeland.
"We won't let those monsters run rampant in our territory," declared one South A-rank fighter, his voice filled with determination. "We've got the numbers, the strength, and the will to crush 'em. They're gonna regret ever crossing our path!"
