Right as the two dark clouds emerged, the first wave of Pzenium warriors reached the main group, causing an intense clash to break out between both sides.
Since the main group was retreating toward the east, that direction became the first area to be closed off by the Pzenium warriors.
As for the other directions, they were still quite a bit away from reaching the main group. But, at the current rate, it looked as though it would not take long for the main group to be left at the complete mercy of the Pzenium forces.
"Fall, cowards of the battlefield!" One of the Pzenium warriors roared as they lashed out with a scimitar at one of the nearby 2nd Unit troops.
Bang!
The soldier from the main group narrowly avoided the strike. But, instead of launching a counterattack, the soldier continued to run forward through the wave of Pzenium warriors.
