"There is some news," he said as he entered the tent where the others were resting. The group gathered around him.
"Somehow, I think I might not like this news at all," Amber said.
Erik didn't reply.
"The commander just briefed me on the situation, and it's not looking good. The blackguards have reinforced the troops around here, and their equipment is making it harder for our forces to hold the line."
June, his brow furrowed, stepped forward. "So, what did they ask us to do, master?" That was the only logical conclusion to the situation since Erik was here. It was clear the clones were going to ask him for help.
Erik sighed. This situation would make them lose some time, but it wasn't like he could simply walk away. These were his clones; they were protecting his people.
