บท 369: The roles now reversed

In a desolate and dilapidated land, a thousand people were rapidly advancing. The abandoned base was just thirty kilometers away from the defense base. Even while accommodating the pace of everyone, it would take only thirty minutes for the awakened soldiers to reach there at full speed.
