Chapter 94: Victory in the Balance

Solas crumpled to the floor, his reign of terror finally over. But Nyla had no time to celebrate. The battle outside was still raging, and unless they could shut down Solas's command systems, the resistance wouldn't survive the final assault.

"Zane, tell me you've got it," Nyla said, her voice urgent.

Zane wiped the sweat from his brow, his fingers flying over the terminal. "Just a few more seconds…"

The tension in the room was unbearable. Outside, the sounds of battle grew louder, the fate of the resistance hanging in the balance. Nyla watched the screens as Solas's forces continued their advance, knowing that they had mere moments before it was too late.

"Done!" Zane shouted, a triumphant grin on his face.

The screens flickered, then went dark. Solas's command systems were offline, his army suddenly thrown into disarray. Without centralized orders, his forces faltered, their coordinated attacks breaking down into confusion and retreat.

Nyla let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding. They had done it. The tide of battle had turned.

Outside, General Aria's forces pressed forward, taking advantage of the chaos to push Solas's army back. The battlefield was still bloody, but the resistance now had the upper hand.

"We need to get out of here," Zane said, his voice filled with relief. "The stronghold won't hold much longer."

Nyla nodded, quickly gathering the team as they made their escape. The battle was far from over, but the resistance had struck a decisive blow.
