Every member of the Cerebus Guild who had been stationed inside the facility was now out in the open.
It was the worst-case scenario.
The only silver lining was that they hadn't destroyed the entire base during their frantic search for the intruders. The bad news, that was only because one of them had already found Alen and Beatrix. The beacon of light that had pierced through the roof earlier hadn't been a random flare of magic. It was a signal. A call.
That light had summoned the others, Tonto, Yellum, and the rest of the infamous elite squad of the Cerebus Guild.
Now all five of them were gathered, their golden energy radiating like small suns.
Alen's soldiers immediately recognized the danger without him needing to explain. The moment the Cerebus mages began descending, his unit was already in motion, their instincts kicking in.
"Formation! Get ready!" one of the officers shouted.
