Confrontation

Ares saw a hand raised in front of him. It was the hand of the squad leader marching some meters in front. He gave a better look at the horizon, seeing that many other squad leaders raised their hands. Other squads were out of his sight, but he was sure that the command was coming from them.

"They spotted something", he muttered, warning everyone in his group. 

Mark, Áurea, Pan, and Sean reorganized themselves while taking their weapons. That signal could very well mean something different than danger. Probably they just found another city. A city that would no longer be standing anymore. Nonetheless, the best choice was to prepare for anything at all times. 

Their other five comrades did the same. They looked apprehensive about what was yet to come.

Ares also raised his hand to alert the squads marching behind him. He looked over his shoulder, just to be sure that they saw the signal.
