That worked.
As best as I hoped it would, at least.
The moment I finished speaking, I heard Michael yelling orders and gathering as many Brawlers as he could.
As the only other [B-rank] Awakened on the field aside from me, he was taking charge of the vanguard.
That was good.
With him managing the frontlines, I would have one less thing to worry about.
And not much later, many other Cadets started falling into formations as well.
Not all. Not fast.
But some. Enough to put up a serious fight.
Even getting a trained military unit to fall into line after a bloodbath was hard. Getting Cadets — half of whom were on the verge of a breakdown — was nearly impossible.
So it didn't happen immediately.
But the process had started.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the luxury to see the formation complete — because the massive earthen hand holding back the cyclops suddenly… exploded.
The sound was like a mountain shattering.
Not cracking.
Shattering.
