"Good. Now rest for a bit, and after that we will continue to destroy more demon lairs." Max's calm but commanding voice spread across the battlefield, reaching every squad leader and every member of their units.
His words fell over the field like a final stamp on the victory they had just earned. The moment they heard him, the geniuses allowed their tense shoulders to relax and lowered their weapons. Their breathing gradually steadied as they settled into sitting positions across the broken terrain.
The exhaustion they had suppressed throughout the battle finally washed over them, yet the satisfaction of victory strengthened their spirits.
This became their routine for the next month.
Under Max's leadership, the seven squads moved through the region like an unstoppable storm. Every demon lair they discovered became a target for extermination.
