The military forces began a hasty retreat. While they had fought alongside the demons temporarily, they knew this alliance was fleeting. The Female Wolf King, now in her full power, was not an ally to rely on for long.
Zach, along with the Demon Wolf Legion, watched them leave. The Female Wolf King's gaze lingered on the humans, filled with an almost predatory curiosity, but she did not attack.
"Zach, we're pulling out. The credit for this battle belongs to you," Caden said, touching the blood on his face—a trophy of battle.
The Southern Military Region hadn't seen such a monumental victory in years: three monarch-level demons slain and tens of thousands of enemy demons wiped out.
Zach nodded. "Get moving, quickly."
He couldn't explain why the Female Wolf King held back, but he suspected it had something to do with Luke.
"Zach, where's Marissa Jones? Hand her over to us now," demanded Morgan Jones, his piercing gaze locked on Zach.
