章 1334: A Godly Defeat

With her target down, Alina gritted her teeth and dragged his massive body away. 

Now, she was to take his place and stand guard, on the lookout with several others.

Their throats rolled with the tension in the air. 

Throwing his head over his shoulder, he turned to another beside him and raised his fingers one by one.

Josh and the other soldiers leaned against the outer walls, breathing heavily.

So fast?

A thin layer of sweat formed on their foreheads.

The enemy had made their move as though they had been expecting them for decades.
