The northern army quickly surrounded the outer edges of Suniva Province's capital.
At the border, although it took them some time to understand the situation of their dead comrades, they cut down Death Walkers as fast as they could.
When Darius and Nikolai thought they were closing in on Silas, they discovered he had vanished from the royal tents.
With their communications being infiltrated, they couldn't reach Suniva.
It was Michael and his horde of Death Walkers who kept them occupied until now.
Just as Berry had predicted, the true aim had always been Xion.
They wanted to seize him, break him, and use him as leverage to force Darius into surrender.
They hadn't expected Xion to endure this long.
Even now, the black-haired commander spared Darius only a fleeting glance before turning on his heel and slashing down an enemy creeping up behind him.
Another one fell, but two more closed in on Xion.
