Only a minute earlier….
"Commander Cassian, hurry! The heretic is beneath the palace trying to escape through the transportation gate!"
Uriel's voice rang sharply through the commander's mind, carrying an urgency so absolute that Cassian did not hesitate for even a single heartbeat.
The Saint rarely gave direct orders…like that….but when he did….Cassian obeyed without question.
The instant the message ended, his feet exploded off the ground with terrifying force as he shot toward the Royal Palace like a cannonball released from its chains.
Wind howled violently around him while the white cape behind his armor snapped through the air.
The palace guards standing near the entrance barely had time to react.
Boom!
The enormous palace doors burst inward the moment Cassian crashed through them, the impact echoing across the entrance hall like thunder.
