"These bastards never intended to keep their word," Seraphina snarled, throwing a series of fireballs that erupted in brilliant bursts, forcing a group of Empire soldiers back. "They just wanted us out of the way!"
Lucifer dodged another attack, his movements quick and precise, his mind calculating the best way to regroup and counter this unexpected betrayal. "Everyone, form a defensive line!" he commanded, trying to restore some semblance of order amidst the chaos. "We need to protect the egg!"
But the Empire's soldiers were relentless, their assault coordinated and ruthless. They were clearly well-trained, striking at the organization members with surgical precision, targeting the most vulnerable points. It was clear they had prepared for this ambush, that they knew exactly how to take the members of the organization by surprise.
