章節 105: Ambush [2]

Veronica, her senses on high alert, carefully inspected their surroundings after the dazzling clash of forces. The remnants of magical energy lingered in the air, and the once-dense forest now held an otherworldly ambiance. She couldn't help but feel a mix of awe and trepidation, especially when she realized that Lord Magnus had extended the invisible force to shield not only them but also the soldiers and magic animals. 

"Remarkable," she muttered under her breath, her eyes scanning the area.

As the moment of awe passed, Veronica swiftly regained her composure. She knew they couldn't afford to linger in amazement. "Soldiers, make formation!" she commanded, her voice cutting through the lingering echoes of the clash.

The soldiers, trained and disciplined, immediately moved into position. They formed a protective barrier around the group, shields raised and weapons at the ready. Veronica, taking charge, surveyed her surroundings and then turned to Lord Magnus.
