บท 514: Chapter 514: The Stormy Weather

The early morning light brought little comfort, casting long shadows over the battered fortifications and the weary faces of those who had stood their ground.

She gathered her team in the war room, where the latest intelligence was laid out on the maps, marked with new enemy positions and potential threats.

"Today will be pivotal," Elara said, her tone grave. "We've fortified our defenses, but the enemy is relentless. We need to be ready for anything they throw at us."
