章 2510: Necessary Sacrifice (Part 2)

Lith was seething with anger yet he patiently waited for several minutes, without moving from the spot where he had allegedly fallen. He left his Demons in the shadows where they had hidden after feeding upon the pillars of light.

The explosion had done them little harm but Lith wanted to give an impression of weakness. One thing was facing a Tiamat at the peak of his strength while surrounded by his undead army.

Dealing with a lone, wounded creature was another entirely.

"What the heck have you done?" Neforce arrived only after the silence had lasted for so long that there was no doubt about the end of the battle.

His voice was angry, pointing at the rabble and then at Lith.

"You ordered me to call the retreat and this is the result of your arrogance. An entire city block has been razed and months of hard work have gone to waste." The Captain was followed by a sizeable group of soldiers and mages armed to the teeth.
