[The Fifth and Sixth Citadels]
Twenty thousand bodies and a few Mechs lay in small mounds, their remains stripped of salvageable metals for later use.
As the Granians cleared the battlefield, the laborers on the fifth and sixth Citadels were ordered back to the mines and hunting beasts for labor and food for themselves and the soldiers.
On the Sixth Citadel, Anya sat under a comically large boulder. In its shade, the Blood Knight reverted to her human form while her suit of Blood Armor dissolved into her skin. The combination of cloned blood, designed from Granian, Ethisian, Soxan, and Yrrejite DNA, created a durable substance perfect for armor and weaponry for the Blood Knight. Unfortunately, it wasn't hard enough.
