As Thalia's vanguard moved forward with precision and stealth, the rest of the resistance forces waited with bated breath. The mission was critical; any mistake could mean disaster for Eldoria. The air was thick with anticipation, every sound magnified in the pre-dawn silence.
Thalia's team approached the enemy encampment, using the cover of the dense forest to their advantage. They could see the cultists gathered around the dark portal, their chanting growing louder and more frenzied. The portal pulsed with an eerie light, casting long shadows across the ground.
"Remember," Thalia whispered to her team, "our primary objective is to disrupt the ritual and destroy the portal. Move quickly and strike hard."
Her team nodded, their faces set with determination. With a final signal, they launched their attack.
