Rage. Desperation.

They didn’t ask questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They just moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the far right side of the battlefield, a formation squad was holding back three mid-level beast generals with a layered defense array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re losing power!\" one of them shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Recharge sequence!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another soldier tossed three glowing stones into the formation core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The array flickered—then surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The barrier held just long enough for a hidden sniper team on a ridge to finish their spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp crack, three energy bolts shot out, one into each beast’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first dropped instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second staggered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third screamed, but the moment it turned to flee, Shadow operatives waiting in the trees above leapt down and finished the job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the air above, the flying beast units were still trying to break through the Unified Army’s sky cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the air unit wasn’t budging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit cannon volleys were clean and deadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time a beast rose too high, a dozen arrows followed it back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above it all, Lieutenant Fan—the commander of the aerial division—hovered calmly on a spirit disk, shouting coordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Team six, adjust five degrees west.
