The battlefield entered a state of momentary pause. The new entries each stood in their own place, surveying their surroundings and, most importantly, observing the man on the balcony.
A tumultuous damage had been dealt to the battlefield due to the fire pillar that Annette had summoned. What were left of the soldiers were scrubs, scrambling to get up and barely matching half the aura of might that these new arrivals exuded.
Annette's breath was unsteady as she tried to get up. She looked at the new people who had just entered the battlefield and muttered to herself.
"Took you guys long enough…"
She rested on her knee for a while, then looked to the other side to see more of them again.
Some she had expected to be here, and some surprised her.
Ryan, Arlem, Vida, Ayu, and Myu stood on one side, although apart from each other. Gilbert and Helena landed further to the front, manning the vanguard.
