“Gods, no!” Scarlett and Balkor screamed in unison, watching the scene unfold.

Everything had happened in just a few seconds from the moment the array had been destroyed, not leaving the Scorpicore the time to even think about sending reinforcements.

Losing Kalla was a huge blow for Scarlett’s army. Despite the fact that she had only recently evolved, she was still the most talented Necromancer they had at hand.

Balkor had the advantage of experience and careful preparation. Their best counter was true magic’s surprise effect and the versatility Kalla’s true Necromancy had displayed earlier.

She had been able to reinforce her troops and change strategy according to the situation, while Balkor’s thralls, without their master supervision, could only follow a script. The presence of greater undead had completely upset the balance.

“Damn you and your information, Linjos. The Valors weren’t supposed to come out until the last day!” Scarlett roared.

“She has only recently evolved and close combat has never been her specialty. I only let her go alone because you guaranteed us that tonight we would face those black things again!”
