Chapitre 236: The Glint of Steel (4)

An arrow struck a soldier in the front row of their formation. Then, a blast echoed as lightning struck the middle of their ranks. 

Mona shouted something, and the plants seemingly came to life. Alex and Lucius dashed forward, and I leapt ahead, followed by a wave of purple and black flames. 

The Ereth also charged ahead – the soldiers didn't hesitate even for a split second as their ranks got blasted by lightning and arrows rained from far away. They were blinded by their loyalty, or perhaps by the sinister magic of the Divines. 

I wondered, was there any sort of mind control going on? I couldn't help but think that something along those lines had to be going on. There was no way all these soldiers would charge at us without a doubt in their minds, a hint of hesitation in their eyes. I refused to believe it.
