"War Frenzy"

At the mountain's peak, Mike brandished his blade, decapitating a whale-man, and sending its twitching body over the edge with a kick. Surveying the area, he noted that half of the few thousand elite warriors who'd initially guarded this cliffside were now casualties. These men were the cream of the crop.

The gear they wore was a collective effort from the hundreds of thousands from beyond the gates of death, pooling resources and merging equipment to form this elite force.

Including Mike himself, his entire gear underwent numerous enhancements. At this moment, they were the final line of defense for those hundreds of thousands. Meanwhile, Alan, Hawkins, and others were fiercely battling elsewhere, attempting to eradicate the threat completely to avoid being attacked from both sides.
