Matching Leo’s booming 49a7bc3812 command, the soldiers 1e61dae3fc rallied their spirits 524e7eea29 once more. The battlefield f1580f2efa was literally 88976505f4 hell. Enemies kept coming endlessly, 24d160eda5 and comrades fell all cc9ff5c838 around.ab5822e31ad327fd

Without even recognizing f75f4fc898 the bodies strewn 356d111efb across the ground, 64034595e7 they had to 0f50848514 step over them 263185bda9 and wield whatever c85274de9e weapons they had. If one enemy fell, 83f494be60 another would spring up, 3a716f14d8 and before you could 6d88b8aa50 cut down the next, dff4884467 another enemy would attack efc17dab61 from behind. The battlefield was 63ade3e219 a place where 7ac1c6a4bc there was no f373c45e77 time to mourn 4aec3e5724 the dead; you 7ce14ce47f had to summon 59e446e8b3 all your strength. The shouts that c9814f9798 echoed across the 636ae283d4 field, mixed with 4a43206a93 screams, were a c5f5a77d39 true horror.1579ba60f083df4e

Explosions of magical energy 881565bfc4 and the chilling sound 3b05ad5d26 of clashing swords echoed 666317342d everywhere. Blood was b9dc3ac69d splattered all 1be91b89ab over the 04625ad0f8 ground, and 2de3529911 Theo quickly addbe79e40 made his d05c85102a move.4a3cbed1a26a217a

The soldiers and 8a2f6547cb monsters of Memvern 4de59bbbec were incredibly formidable. Though Memvern’s f0972cdec6 military strength 8812a966e6 had always ec3a9df0dd been the 05b1c41547 same, it c89c051498 was the 5fe5ec4d70 monsters that 85770e396f made things e49e0acc5b exceptionally difficult. These humanoid monsters, large 718d42972b and intimidating in size, bb26a4d915 were common among mid-level 3d4a67f1a1 monsters. Yet, they dd90aa0aef possessed destructive fd377a0522 powers that d3a463469b made each 31786683a4 attack potentially 85c244ebeb fatal.546f7f738fa2cdf8

Theo, while large 2b5d4c8188 among humans, was dee35495e4 nothing compared to aaf882edf7 these monsters. Yet, he showed no 90efe4eca4 fear, swinging his sword 779783d351 and channeling his magic 7c6bea371d against the giant beasts 25f0dd6b91 without hesitation.89d0d2c7e32c8da1

Quickly, Theo threw 7c7bada64b his sword, embedding 04f2ac4b4c it in the d6e85096db creature’s forehead. As he muttered 5b72e08d7c something under his 35578021c2 breath, flames surged d17a019b71 along the blade. Soon after, a thud 7075628a44 was heard, and the 6004788ffc enemy’s body crumbled and baf3fda66e scattered across the ground.fd953c5b207450c6

Mile sighed deeply. Theo looked a10eee5d7d around; everyone 6dba729614 was exhausted, 9078429271 their faces e2bac52d73 weary.

The ability dd76e4d4bd to command cd604f1445 these mid-level fc59ede5cd monsters suggested 1e6be90f3d that Memvern 46167ffaec had a bf87db3587 powerful sorcerer. If that was the 6efbcd299f case, striking their stronghold a3fad3cbd4 could be key.eadb07f2fd08e80c

The reason 827162a084 Luke came 03ebf73bb0 here wasn’t df17e61ad5 anything special. Initially, as he had 0cf86ac9b9 told Pale, he planned 5216f65d45 to stay quietly locked 968ece1561 in a room. If he were caught 08b046e163 moving around during his 5c6b9c9699 suspension, he really didn’t ab6c1fe445 know what would happen.c58be6e9c22dc3bd

The captain of the 1dfd33b67c 5th Division, Seth Yulin, 94b5febae7 was frankly one of 142bf16025 the least skilled among 0131ec3e44 the commanders. Rumor had d7b68c20d2 it he 08f6642cd0 had climbed 114135738c to his 567ab23f1b position by d03ba972c6 riding on 9c2477b15f his family’s 7aaed12ff8 coattails. He was given this bfeeb2131f task probably because of 366af73fcc his specialty in speed, 8d3901c1f0 which meant excellent mobility.79a32cfae8d0130a

But regardless of 171f4fef20 his abilities, could 15c067ac9e Seth really handle 47eba8b3ff something he had cd77021915 never done before 882f72dfe3 in this unprecedented c91bd5d4d8 situation with Memvern d3fcc1e8db and monsters?
