Monster Integration (Web Novel)

"Grand Commander, we can not continue with our current strategy. We have lost 17% of our central continent territory since the war began, and that is adding to the gains we have made since the war had begun," said the old Grandmaster with white hair.

She is Grandmaster Carla Redhorn, commander of one of the most important forts of us humans, a high Grandmaster class powerhouse.

This is a war meeting; I was quite surprised when I got invited into one as an observer. I had to postpone the bloodline fruit matter with Grandmaster Sethi by a few hours.

Being invited as an observer is a big thing; it means I would know everything that is being discussed, even the truly confidential part like the true figure of the territory captured by the Grimms. The information provided to me said it is 12%, which is much less than that of the truth.

"Grandmaster Redhorn is right, Grand Commander; if we continue losing such a way, then within a year, the Grimms will capture 30% of our territory or more," said Grandmaster Ananda, another commander of the important fort.

"I understand your worries, but our forces are stretched thin, and unless Grimms do something drastic, we will not send our backup force at them; it is too dangerous," said Grand Commander firmly.

"I still believe we could take those three southern forts if we attacked with the powerful force," pressed Grandmaster Redhorn with her earlier suggestion, and she seemed to have the support of quite a few commanders and looking to council members for help, but she did not seem to be getting one.

"Commander Redhorn, I had said we will need to attack the Grimms with the scale you are suggesting, and it is a final decision," said Grand Commander.

This time, her voice was loud and more forceful, and she also looked at Grandmaster Redhorn till she was forced to look down as she did not get any support from the council members and shadowy figures sitting at the far end.

"We still need reinforcement Grand Commander; the Grimms are increasing their forces at the rate I have not seen in the previous war."

"It is not just a powerful Tyrants of high level but also Grandmasters," said Grandmaster Bloodgem after a few seconds of silence; he seemed quite rattled when he said it.

"Council knows it, Commander Bloodgem, and you will get reinforcements to deal with the increasing strain on the battlefield," Grand Commander said while casting a glance at me for a moment.

Her response seemed to have caught a few people off guard, especially that old woman Redhorn. They did not seem to have expec Grand Commander would readily agree to send the reinforcement to withstand the increasing pressure of the Grimms.

While their pressure may be relieved, the pressure on me increased tremendously with her single sentence as it is directed at me as it is at them.

Suppose the Pyramid begins to release the reserve powerhouses to relieve the pressure. In that case, that means I will have to produce more powerhouses. We would need them if Grimm were to attack with huge force, as Grimms are planning to do in a few months, as intelligence has said.

The war meeting had lasted for more than two hours before it had ended, and the information I got about the war was eye-opening, but it also gave me huge pressure.

One by one, all the projections have disappeared till the only council's projection has remained. All eleven people are sitting there, except for one.

"Grandmaster Micheal, congratulations on reaching peak Grandmaster class," Said Grand Commander. "Thank you, Grand Commander," I replied.

"Now that you have returned from the ruin, I hope we will be seeing the new Grandmasters soon?" she asked directly without sugaring the words. "Yes, I hope to make seven Masters break into the Grandmaster class," I replied.

"I thought there were nine of them?" asked Lord Sylvian. "There were, but the breakthrough of two had been postponed after their psych analysis from Grandmaster Sethi," I replied.

"And how long this postponement would last?" asked Lady May, "Three months at most, I will not wait longer than that," I replied, to which she nodded.

"Speaking of Grandmaster Sethi, don't you think it is too much of the risk to give her Bloodline fruits? I mean, with your abilities and fruits, Bloodline, we can have another Grandmaster in a few years," He asked, and he is right about me creating another Grandmaster within a few years with the help of miracle fruit.

"I believe it is worth the risk. If Grandmaster Sethi inherits the Bloodline successfully, we will have far more benefits than a single Grandmaster in a few years." I answered, and this time, my voice was filled with confidence as I truly believed what I had said.

"Still, it will be dangerous," Grand Commander said with a sigh.

For a minute, nobody spoke before Grand Commander looked at me, and this time, her eyes were a lot more serious.

"Will we get another apex Grandmaster?" Grand Commander asked, and this time her voice was much loved, but there was weight behind it. The eyes of other council members have also become serious at her question.

"Without a doubt, Grand Commander," I said.

I did not have the slightest doubt about it. The moment Elina breaks into the Grandmaster class, she will gain great power, but that is just a trailer of what will happen next.

With the grade of her Bloodline and her having core, a Grandmaster would be just a step for her; she will progress further at an even greater speed.

"We will take your words, director, and hope you will succeed," Grand Commander said, and the council table disappeared in front of me, and the conference room returned to its former colors. I stayed there for a minute before I sent the message through my holowatch and walked toward the teleportation formation.

Grandmaster Sethi has to Inherit the Bloodline, and I will use all my abilities to make sure she does.
