Aiden didn't give them the chance to react. With a flick of his wrist, flames erupted around him, stretching out in an arc before slamming into the nearest attackers. Soldiers scrambled, dodging the blast, but the heat was overwhelming, forcing them back.
"No killing." Aiden's voice rang out over the comms. "Disable them, knock them out, bind them if necessary, but no one dies."
His team acknowledged his order. Within moments, Aiden's squad dispersed, engaging in quick, precise takedowns.
Despite being outnumbered, Aiden's forces showed no signs of weakness. His soldiers were swift, coordinated, and relentless.
Many among them were awakened, their abilities granting them an edge against the opposition. Earth and water awakened fighters worked together, restraining soldiers with hardened stone bindings or trapping them in thick, immobilizing ice., but none of his soldiers struck with lethal intent.
