Just as their situation seemed dire, the sound of hurried footsteps reached their ears. Another group of LADs emerged from the shadows. As they approached, their leader shouted commands to her team.
Without hesitation, they sprang into action, burning down the flora, cutting off the violent branches, and bringing the injured soldiers to safety.
The rescue leader approached Shina with a nod of recognition.
"Looks like you had quite the encounter," said Tia Knight, the emblem of the 7th Special Operation Force on her chest blinked with a shining intensity.
Shina offered a weary smile behind her mask, appreciative of the unexpected help. "It's been a rough week, that's for sure."
While the rescuing team engaged in combat, the members of Shina's group wasted no time. Each member fought with renewed determination, their earlier injuries and exhaustion momentarily forgotten as they rallied together against the relentless onslaught of the nearby beasts.
