"We need to weaken their forces further before we strike, more time needs to pass in order for Amelia's forces and the forces of the other factions to truly start fighting together against the enemy."
The moments stretched out as the battle raged on. Amelia's forces were holding their ground, but the sheer numbers and enhanced abilities of the Shadow Serpents' army were starting to take their toll. Reign could see the strain on the defenders' faces, the desperate resolve in their eyes.
"Get ready," Reign ordered, his voice steady and calm. "If the situation takes a turn for the worse, we will have to move in and help them."
