Chapter 1524: Chapter 1524: The Price of Victory

The battle was no longer a distant concept. It had become a tangible reality, unfolding in front of Aiden in a blur of violence and desperation. The clash of steel rang in his ears as the enemy's forces pressed forward, determined to break through their defenses. With each strike, Aiden felt the weight of his choices—each one leading them closer to an uncertain future. Yet, he couldn't afford to dwell on the unknown. The only thing that mattered now was survival.

Aiden had expected the assault, but the sheer force of it was still overwhelming. The coalition's soldiers came at them relentlessly, wave after wave of trained fighters, their movements coordinated and precise. It was as if they had been preparing for this moment for years, while his team had barely enough time to establish defenses and gather their strength. But the land was on their side, and it was in this uneven battlefield that they had a chance to hold their ground.
