The Shorkan reopened, and the Orcs retreated.
"Young Master, quick!" Brom said. He and the other high-levelled NPCs stood guard of the fortress' gate. "The Shorkan won't open for so long."
"No, Brom!" Papa Bear said. "Big Brother entrusted Papa Bear to get the Taunting Scrolls from you!"
"He had already called a full retreat. Why the sudden change in plans?" Brom said.
"Brom. No time! Quick! The dragon will fight for us. The retreat is a bluff!" Papa Bear said with determination in his eyes.
Brom hesitated. He looked over the frontline where Ogni and Armada's elite force became the vanguard against the horde. Then he eventually handed the scroll.
Blue electricity crackled around Papa Bear. And with a grin, he charged back to the frontline.
"Bertan, wait!" It was Aildrin. Soulsworth was in his hand, but he was not covered in a ruby-colored aura.
