The arena roared with voices.
The Roman Colosseum-like structure was packed with people, while several figures were bound to crosses in the center of the arena, utterly motionless.
"Urgh..."
Hearing the sounds from all around her, Mine clenched her teeth. The Jaegers' surprise attack last night had been highly successful. Although Night Raid had killed quite a few Jaegers while fighting back, they had ultimately been captured.
Of those still alive, only Mine, Hill, and Akame remained. Akame was nowhere to be found, while Mine and Hill were the only two members captured alive.
