"They're headed straight for us?" said Leo. "Like they can sense our location?"

'Hmm, no,' said Orric. 'Look like they're closing in on the westernmost fortress you built first.'

Leo had materialized ten different boron structures around the outskirts of Miro.

Nine of them were decoys, all empowered with his soul to throw off the enemy, and whenever the soul infusion began to where off, he would simply destroy his work and recreate it from afar. The man's range was absurd.

The one they were currently using was probably a bit more spacious than the three of them needed it to be, but it was fairly comfortable as far as impromptu encampments went. And most importantly, it was wedged between two higher-rising hilltops, offering cover on either side while still providing a clear view of the whole town to the north.

'They're going from fortress to fortress,' said Orric. 'They're definitely looking for us.'

Raul couldn't help growing tense as he waited. If it really was Abolish reinforcements, then this was probably going to get very ugly very quickly.

'...But they're not destroying any of the buildings,' the reaper went on. 'And they have a fairly clear path to the town now, but they're not going for it. These people might not actually be Abolish.'

That would be fantastic news, but Raul had his doubts, to say the least. They could've just considered the buildings too time-consuming to take down, and if they were in remote contact with the other hostiles, then there was no reason they would need to go into Miro in order to link up with them.

'Oh? They've stopped. I think they're doing something. Hmm. Can't tell what, though.'

Agh, this waiting was nerve-racking.

A new sound arrive before the reaper said anything more, and the three servants looked around. It was a kind of mechanical hum.
