The other battlefields came to a halt as well, so despite his exhaustion, Raiden had to move to tend the wounded with his mother and sister.
Raiden hadn't noticed it before, but now, as he looked around, he saw many young elves and dwarves who had joined the battle. These kids, barely out of their adolescence, were initially positioned on the backline to use their bows, relying on their keen eyesight and steady hands to rain arrows down on their enemies from a safe distance. However, the ferocity of the battle had pushed the frontlines closer to them, and many of these young warriors found themselves forced into close-range combat.
Raiden observed their faces, marked by a mix of fear and tension. Their inexperience showed in their stances and movements, but they fought valiantly, wielding all kinds of weapons against the advancing foes.
