The enemy's retreat brought a brief calm to the town, but everyone knew the true battle was yet to come. Noah and Charlotte stood side by side on the city wall, silently feeling each other's presence.
"Noah, I'm glad you're with me," Charlotte said softly, her voice tinged with gentleness.
Noah smiled slightly and gently held her hand. "Me too, Charlotte. No matter what happens, we won't be separated."
Their tender moment was interrupted by distant clamor. The enemy army had regrouped, preparing for another assault. The newly appointed members of the Fifteen Halls stood at the front of the formation, exuding immense power.
"They're coming again. This time, we must give our all," Noah said, his gaze resolute.
Charlotte nodded, her divine powers already operating at their peak, ready to counter the enemy's attack at any moment.
