The red lights flashed all over the room, introducing a gloomy atmosphere to the high command.
"We can hold them," Daniel replied with a calm look on his face. "Galean army is on the move. Give them two days and they will break through the front and reestablish the supply route to the city…"
Daniel had to cut his words short when a new message appeared on the main screen. And as if to spit right at the hopeful tone he raised, the message announced the annihilation of the entire Galean division that Daniel put so much hope in.
"Impossible…" Daniel muttered, refusing to believe the message and the video feed that followed.
"They are storming the outer ring!" A messenger from the local front arrived, bringing the news of the dire state of the city's defense.
