The harsh gong resounded through every corner of the fortress, signaling retreat, indicating that "the cannons had been destroyed".
The barbarians inside the fortress were astonished to discover that the bipeds, who had been fighting them to the death just a second ago, turned tail and ran the next.
The Paratu People, who had flooded into the breach like a tide, receded just as swiftly.
Run! Run! Run for your lives! Reach the main camp and you'll survive!
That was what everyone thought.
Because the White Lion had come.
There were already too many barbarians inside the fortress for them to handle; if reinforcements for the barbarians joined in? The surprise attack force would be annihilated in an instant.
But the barbarian reinforcements didn't plunge into the fortress, instead they crisscrossed between the fortress and the main camp.
Did the White Lion intend to swallow up this isolated force in one gulp, or did he have a grander plan?
