The satellite city of Aurora City was extremely close by.
Ramon charged straight to its gates with his battered remnants and roared, "Open the gates. Let us in, now."
The small city's gates opened immediately.
Andrew's eyes lit up with a sharp gleam. Without needing any signal, Nyx's figure sliced through the air again and again, landing directly atop the city walls.
What followed was a brutal slaughter.
Hearing the screams, Ramon knew the enemy had already caught up. While panic set in, his rage surged so hard his chest felt ready to burst.
"This has gone too far!"
With a furious roar, Ramon turned back and clashed with Andrew once more. He was buying time so all his remaining men could enter the city.
However, Petra and his main force, along with Juno, had already arrived. They launched a direct assault on the gates and broke through with little effort, flooding into the city.
Ramon's subordinates were already spooked. Moreover, after the losses at Aurora City, their combat strength had dropped sharply. One by one, they scattered in panic, caring only about escaping.
The original garrison in the small city, suddenly hit by this violent assault, had completely lost its bearings. They stumbled in confusion, not knowing how to respond.
Then, Nyx descended like a goddess of death, slaughtering her way through the city. Before long, all the city's elite fighters were eliminated.
In just ten minutes or so, Petra and his people announced they had captured the small city. The losses were so negligible that they could be ignored.
Without a word, Nyx gripped her blue-glowing daggers tightly and joined Andrew in a pincer attack on Ramon.
Andrew's greatsword descended from above, driving Ramon into the ground with clouds of dust billowing up.
Nyx flashed in and out of the dust cloud, trailing a long arc of blood.
