"The Black wave is when the number of beasts exceeds 10,000. In the books it is written that the black wave never appeared till now. It is also known as the Nightmare Wave"
Luna answered the boy's question and by the end of her sentence her tone turned into a mocking one.
This confused Aiden why would she mock that, before he could ask Keiran continued.
" But it makes you wonder, how did they write about something that never appeared till now in such detail."
Keiran's words echoed in his ears as he realized what he talking about.
'That's true, how did they know what the numbers of the attack were when they have never seen it and how would they name it a nightmare without experiencing it first hand?'
Before he could continue with his queries the king interjected in between with a heavy voice.
"We don't have time for such things. We need everyone to fight for this wave. This will be your first real life experience against the beast."
Seraphina was shocked that he was making the kids fight against those beasts at such a young age but then she realized in this world age doesn't matter to death.
Even they had to fight at their age for their survival. So it would be better to experience such a thing at a young age.
"I will be in charge of their group then. "
Hearing her words Arion was about to interject but Seraphina continued making him silent.
" I will not interfere unless it's a matter of their life and death. Although I don't like them fighting like that, I know the reality of the world we live in requires otherwise."
Hearing the solemn tone in her voice Arion thought and nodded in acceptance.
They need a strong person to look after them, he cannot leave their lives in the hands of weak soldiers.
"Very well, Thorne, what are the numbers of Ether awakened soldiers ready to fight at the moment."
The man in question took out a book from the stacks on the table beside Arion.
He flipped through the pages and answered back his question.
"We currently have 50,758 awakened soldiers that are ready to fight. Out of these around 40,000 are level one soldiers, 6,000 are level two soldiers while the rest are level three soldiers. This does not include the 6 general level family heads."
While Arion was deep in thought Keiran was asking the system some questions to clarify the details.
' Can you show me what is the corresponding conversion for the category you showed and the one they are talking about.'
As Keiran thought that in his mind a golden screen appeared in front of him showing the conversion scale.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[ Tier 1 —> Soldiers lvl 1, lVl 2, lvl 3
Tier 2 —> General level. ]
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
'What about his level?' Luna asked as she looked at Arion, who was in the middle of thinking. The answer did not surprise the twins.
[He is currently a Tier 3 human ]
They were already expecting this because of the aura they were sensing from. The sheer amount of this aura greater than anyone else's in this kingdom.
"Seraphina, you will guard the southern entrance with the kids and take one third of the military with you."
Accepting the task with a nod she looked at the borderlines through the hologram in deep thought.
Although the wave was not there yet, the states on the screen showed the small waves of trembling on the surface of the earth.
The frequency kept increasing with each passing second. She looked at Arion while speaking.
" How long will it take for them to reach the borderline?"
Looking at the screen Arion closed his eyes while replying.
" At most two hours, you should leave and gather the army at the gate."
Seraphina stood up in an instant hearing the time left and her eyes turned sharp. She left the room with kids following behind her.
While walking in the huge hallway Aiden looked at his mother and asked.
"If they are only 1k-5k in number won't we be able to kill them easily?"
Seraphina, hearing the question, replied without looking back and continued walking.
" What can 10k level 1 soldiers do when more than half of the beasts are at the level of level 2 soldiers. Their bodies are much more sturdy and powerful than humans of the same level."
Keiran was thinking the same, their number may look small but their whole bodies were two times sturdier than humans at the same level.
They arrived at the royal weaponry and Seraphina picked up some equipment while speaking.
"Change into the battle outfit. There are many armor of your size in there, pick one and meet me here in 10 mins."
After saying that she left the room making her way towards the changing room.
Keiran and Luna walked around looking for armor that would suit their figure.
Aiden also started to go through them and he found a gray full body armor that was fit for his size and had space for mobility.
He entered the other side of the room to change and when he arrived back he saw that Seraphina was already there in her golden armor and a red sword tied to her waist.
Her hair was tied in a ponytail and there were protection guards on her arms and legs.
He moved by her side and asked.
" Where are they?"
As soon as he spoke one of the doors of the room opened and the duo entered the room.
They were wearing armor made up of fabrics. Keiran was wearing a layered armor of black color while Luna was wearing a matching black armor which had metallic parts on her vital parts.
They both had a matching sword tied to their waist along with arm guards on them.
"This might be your first time on a real battlefield, but you have trained hard and you can easily handle the level one soldiers."
Seraphina spoke seeing them gathered in front of her. Her words were sharp and full of power.
" But don't let that get to your head, one miss on a battlefield can cost you everything. Just follow my orders and you will be fine."
After a short reminder she checked their outfit, only after confirming they were fully guarded did she move out of the room.
