Unfortunately, they couldn't do anything. They quickly headed to gather the corpses of their peers.
Yet the Martial Seniors of the Duchy had other ideas.
"Those corpses belong to us." They growled. "They will be displayed to our people."
"You think we're just going to give you them?" A Senior assassin snorted. "You're lucky we're not killing you."
The tension spiked between the two forces.
"How about we each take one?" One of the Martial Seniors from the duchy proposed.
This wasn't an unattractive idea. None of them wanted to fight at the moment. The assassins from the Shadow Isles were most afraid of the Voidreaper coming for them at any moment.
The buddy system proved to be entirely useless against the Voidreaper as he could comfortably demolish duos. Even if he couldn't kill both of them in a pair, one was guaranteed to die, which meant that there was a chance that any of them could die at any moment.
