The thick greenery of the dense forest blurred past as Captain Dylan and the gate guards raced through the bushes, their eyes shining with a strong light.
The grasses shook and flattened in their wake, as if the very ground itself trembled at their urgency.
Not a sound came from their tightly closed mouths, only the pounding of their boots and the heavy breaths filled the air around them.
In the distance, near the town, another group rushed through the tangled vines and mossy tree trunks - Knight Rederic, Alistair, Cedric, Eldric, Gideon, Ivander, Jasper, and Mage Marcus.
Although hurt and bruised, their injuries could not slow their desperate run.
Adrenaline burned in their blood, pushing them forward despite their aching muscles.
Back in Toraz town, the usually calm plaza echoed with the passionate chanting of the people.
"Defeat the Baron! Defeat the Baron!"
