Shale’s Gambit

"Now, then…I'm sure you know why I'm here…right?"

Jamie grabbed Miranda's shoulder and took a step back, deciding to leave the fight to them.

Their job was to get Tiris to Skyhaven; whatever happened after that was not their concern. More importantly, Jamie wasn't in the best state as his energy reserves were still a little bit below 50%.

Drinking energy potions helped speed up his recovery, but as stated earlier, he had vast reserves which would take a lot of time to fill up.

'Tsk…I wanted to use those Deities guarding the pope…'

He thought to himself as he felt the presences of more Knights approaching the scene, their numbers quickly rising towards 100.

A group formed a defensive perimeter around Tiris, aiming to take her away when the fighting began, while the other stared up at the man standing on the gate.
