"The enemy has entered the city, Sir! We can't stop them... They're too strong. They're the South Neva Union knights, and the morale of the soldiers is plummeting..."
The commander gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He had more than 5,000 soldiers in the capital city while the Union army had 3,000. They had the number and the walls, and yet they failed.
"Prepare to retreat. We have killed them enough, and we don't want to lose our troops," the commander said quietly, hiding his anger and frustration. "But we will release those things first..." he added.
The knight captains shared a look, knowing exactly what the commander meant. They had no choice but to listen since it would be enough to buy them time to leave. The Union army wouldn't have the time to chase after them.
Thalior blocked three swords at the same time, and then pushed them away as he swung his sword at them. His attack with Aura imbued on the sword was enough to cut the knights' torsos.
