An arrow struck a soldier in the front row of their formation. Then, a blast echoed as lightning struck the middle of their ranks.
Mona shouted something, and the plants seemingly came to life. Alex and Lucius dashed forward, and I leapt ahead, followed by a wave of purple and black flames.
The Ereth also charged ahead – the soldiers didn't hesitate even for a split second as their ranks got blasted by lightning and arrows rained from far away. They were blinded by their loyalty, or perhaps by the sinister magic of the Divines.
I wondered, was there any sort of mind control going on? I couldn't help but think that something along those lines had to be going on. There was no way all these soldiers would charge at us without a doubt in their minds, a hint of hesitation in their eyes. I refused to believe it.
