Wasting no time, he turned and issued a sharp order. "Find out what happened! See who did that!"
Several elf soldiers rushed to the edge of the fortress, peering out into the chaotic battlefield. But before they could make sense of the situation, the next sight left them even more stunned.
A figure clad in black armor, streaked with glowing blue lines, shot straight into the midst of the human army.
Ren raised his hand, and from his wrist, a bright blue plasma beam erupted. The energy blast struck multiple enemy soldiers at once, sending them flying, their bodies scorched.
Without missing a beat, Ren moved swiftly, utilizing the thrusters on his legs to dart between enemy troops.
