"You should be sleeping," Sunny said gently as Josephine landed beside him on the city wall.
"Sleeping?! My people are getting attacked, and you tell me I should be sleeping?!" Josephine retorted, her voice sharp with disbelief.
"Hold on… Your people are still in the training ground, all cultivating."
"…Huh?" Josephine was dumbfounded. "If they are all cultivating, then who is fighting the Wendigo—"
Her words died in her throat as she shifted her stunned gaze to the battlefield. Millions of Mercenaries surrounded the Wendigos in a perfect, impenetrable circle, while Star, Nicolas, Nioh, and Blood Eye surged into the fray.
"These are?!" she gasped.
Sunny walked up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist. "Yep, these are our vanguard… Our people don't have to risk their lives in war."
Josephine remained speechless, her eyes fixed on the Mercenaries, who were now engaged in what could only be described as a heated battle, though it was quickly becoming a massacre.
