Jade stood her ground, her gaze fixed on the endless sea of mercenaries before her. A single grim thought echoed in her mind: there were thousands of them, against her ten thousand soldiers.
"Commander! What should we do?!" The female soldier on her right asked, her voice tight with panic.
"Each of these mercenaries can take on a Divine rank warrior. Fighting them head-on is simply suicidal," the male soldier on her left added, his face pale.
Jade listened to them, then closed her eyes, a heavy sense of finality settling over her. In all her life, she had only ever acted for her own benefit. Leaving Nioh's parents behind was a prime example of her ruthless self-preservation. But now, in this moment, there was no escape. Nioh wouldn't let them live, and surrendering wasn't an option. With a resolute expression, she raised her sword and bellowed:
"Charge!"
Her two soldiers stared at her, stunned into silence.
