96

The afternoon sun set, the turn of the night and the start of the end. It would be in mere hours that Lily would have been expected to evacuate the city and go with the military back to wherever.

I grit my teeth as I looked out to the spirits, watching them circle around the blocks of territory we had not taken.

Far out. So far out that I could barely see them but still I took notice of each of their moves. Of how they fought an aerial battle for us.

Dodging past spears of energy and other types of skills and attacks only to do it again, not even seconds later. All for just a scrap of information.

It's commendable, their bravery. But it's also necessary and needed of them.

But even with all the information that we could ever want, the relentless efforts of my summons and their constantly regenerating forces. They were still getting slaughtered out there.
