While Jagon was locked in a fierce battle against Sienna, Aiden, Jason—the three most powerful Heroes with Siara—another intense skirmish raged on a little farther away.
"Don't be scared! They're just kids, not real Heroes! We are the Heroes today, understood?!" Surag bellowed with his raspy voice, trying to rally his men.
A loud cheer erupted from his soldiers as they clashed with the Heroes and the knights sworn to protect them. Despite the chaos, a nervous but determined smile played on Surag's lips.
Fortunately, neither the Divine Knight nor Elias, the other formidable warrior, were participating in the battle for some unknown reason. Surag couldn't decide if this was a blessing or a curse. Their involvement could tip the scales against them, leading to certain defeat.
However, Surag held on to his faith. He believed in Jagon's plan, and more importantly, he trusted Catnys. His mission was clear: buy as much time as possible to ensure the safety of their families.
SWOOOSH!
