章 1652: Defend

The forest, once a tranquil sanctuary alive with the whispering of ancient trees and bustling fauna, now pulsed with dread under the invasion of abyss creatures. They rolled and rampaged, a mass of destructive chaos, their individual paths converging into a purposeful advance towards an imposing structure - the pyramid. Every crackling leaf, every splintered branch under their onslaught echoed the ruthless determination driving these creatures forward.

The sky, a vast, ethereal dome of blue, served as a battleground for a second wave of assailants. A battalion of winged stone creatures swarmed overhead, their rough-hewn, stony bodies blotting out the sun, casting a somber shade over the forest below. Their stone wings flapped relentlessly against the air currents, creating a disquieting rhythm, a war drum in the sky.
