The sudden realization of being surrounded sent a jolt of urgency through the group. Athlaston, with a quick assessment of the situation, shouted orders to his men. They hastily shifted into defensive positions, forming a protective circle with Reign and Athlaston at the center.
The enemy forces, having regrouped and located the team, closed in from all sides. The darkness seemed to come alive with the glint of weapons and the ominous presence of hostile magic. Reign's senses were on high alert, his eyes scanning the shadows for any signs of movement.
The battle that ensued was intense and unforgiving. The Elais Kingdom forces, determined to avenge their fallen comrades and kill the forces of the Irason Kingdom, unleashed a relentless assault. The clash of steel, the crackling of spells, and the cries of warriors echoed in the night.
