The look of shock, horror, and sorrow blended in his eyes, and at that very moment, the priest sneakily tried to attack him through Hael's sharp instincts and agile movement. He quickly slipped out his dagger in his breast pocket, turned around, and hit right at his heart while dodging the sword.

The soldiers continued to fight for their comrades and their kingdom. In their minds, survival was the only thing written, and one of the hurdles had passed them, though they still needed to gain victory over this battalion of people.
