[The Seventh Citadel]
Thousands of bodies burned in piles engulfed in golden-red flames. The Golden Blood Knight, standing on an elevated surface, watched as the Granians killed the remaining mercenary clones swiftly.
Because of his efforts, the enemy was left with only eight thousand or fewer clones to deal with, allowing them to easily wipe them all out.
As soon as the remaining bodies were piled, looted, and prepared for disposal, Jim made his way to the fortress where he was met by the Granians who transported him to the Citadel.
The Blood Knight, confused, looked at the Granians with a questioning expression while waiting for either of them to speak.
"If there is anything you have to say to me, say it quickly," he commanded. But they remained quiet for a while. It was only when he reverted to his normal state that they spoke to him… nervously.
