"Gawked enough? Then act! Deploy advanced magic redirection techniques!"
The first one who recovered among the sect members was one of those who had been assigned as a squad leader.
He was a Champion from the Fortress, and ordinarily, there would have been nothing strange with him being the first to speak out exactly what he was supposed to say to salvage the situation.
However, Daneel had been watching carefully, so he knew something that probably no one else did: the Champion had only acted after receiving a message from a Hero, who had been trying to act discreetly.
Looking over at the camp which had been created to oppose him, he saw that the confidence from before had almost all been crushed by everything that had happened on the battlefield so far.
This was to be expected…but what he cared about was which emotion that confidence would turn into.
Sorry about the delay! Lotta unexpected things fell in my plate, but hopefully, they're sorted now. Enjoy the finale, and let's see where we go from here!
