"Incoming!"
Soldiers scattered as a rain of bloody projectiles fell upon them explosively. The Silver Wolves mercenaries attempted to retaliate with a volley of mana bolts, but the blood mages of the Blood Slaughter Sect neutralized them with blood shields and other crimson techniques.
"Fall back! We can't hold!"
"We need reinforcements!"
"They are coming!"
While the mercenary lines collapsed under the bloody onslaught, Anastasia and I stood alone as we tried to hold the line.
"Hah!"
Laughing wildly, Xue Tu lunged at Anastasia, who was attempting to evade and defend against Liu's barrage of blood lances, but fortunately I was on hand to intercept him. Unfortunately, I had to do it alone, for my Constellation spirits were fending off the disciples of the Blood Slaughter for now, to prevent the Silver Wolves' retreat from turning into a complete rout.
