The night slowly passed as Jackson rushed through the streets, closing each of the portals one after another. After he closed two more gates, the reinforcements of Royal Knights from Fort Novae arrived at the main gate.
Renee and Lydia were able to replenish their exhausted troops, shuffling the fresh soldiers as the exhausted Temple and Royal Knights were able to take a moment and refresh their bodies.
Following a hasty adjustment to their lines and a lessened number of Hollows appearing, thanks to Jackson shutting down a third of the portals, the sisters were able to begin pushing back and gain more ground through the streets of Fort Vetus.
Seizing the opportunity, they took a small detachment of elite Temple and Royal Knights, leaving their men to hold their position. At the same time, they rushed in the opposite direction Jackson had gone searching for a portal to shut.
