Chapter 49: The Vanguard Rally
The commercial district of Bastion Seven was an absolute warzone.
Fire consumed the local storefronts. Desperate Cultists chased screaming citizens through the narrow alleys.
Twisted shadow beasts flipped merchant carts and shattered glass windows. The city guard was completely overwhelmed.
Aegon Logcheville charged into the burning streets. His crimson spear ignited with a roaring flame.
The Academy squad instantly fell into a flawless tactical formation. Aegon took the absolute frontline.
He became a blur of lethal heat, driving his weapon through the chests of the advancing Cultists. Reina stepped right behind him.
She guarded his blind spots with her metal gauntlets. She ruthlessly crushed the skull of any enemy who tried to flank their leader.
Estella took the center position. She raised her wooden staff and focused her mana. Brilliant blue barriers cascaded over the fleeing civilians, shielding them from stray arrows and dark magic.
