The remains of the field army sent to the Antarctic Center gathered into a formation after marching across the giant crater. The hill-like stone corpse of the Fallen Titan Goliath, the pit created by the enormous explosion, and the city with millions of defenseless humans sheltering inside were now behind them.
In front of them were a vast field of snow and the towering peaks of the mountains.
There were around twenty thousand mundane soldiers, some of them piloting the mighty war platforms, and a thousand or so Awakened gathered in front of the crater. Just like Gere had said, very few members of the First Army had used the priority right to be evacuated ahead of civilians. Most had remained, and were now preparing to face a dreadful foe.
The Winter Beast.
