Before the battle had even officially begun, the loss of soldiers had already extinguished the small glimmer of courage that everyone had mustered.
The messenger was acutely aware that this was a critical juncture, and he couldn't afford to worry about anything else. Mora had been staring at him from behind, running was not an option!
"All of you, follow my command!"
The messenger conveyed his order through magic.
"Mana readings are anomalous!" Just as the messenger had used mana to relay his commands, the Divine Armor warriors received readings of the mana fluctuations. However, the messenger was oblivious to this and continued to address the assembly of Divine Armors.
"Prepare... attack!"
No sooner had the messenger's command been issued than several Thunderstrike spells struck down above their heads. Suddenly, several layers of mana shields appeared above the messenger's head, directing the Thunderstrikes away.
