It seemed I really did have to ask for monthly votes. I thought our position was secure, but after going out and coming back, I found we had dropped to tenth and were about to be pushed off the rankings. Please spare a few monthly votes to help us climb back up.
He was dead. That terrifying Darkbringer was dead. The allied soldiers saw it happen, and their defensive line, which had been on the verge of collapse, somehow held firm. Many of them cheered. With that demon-god-like man slain, their morale soared. At that moment, the immense pressure Darkbringer alone had placed on them became starkly apparent.
"Grand Marshal!" Rex hurried to Rachel's side. Soldiers had helped Rachel up, but Rachel's body was limp and breathing weak. Only the light still lingering in those eyes showed that Rachel remained alive.
Seeing Rex appear, Rachel smiled. With Darkbringer dead, the situation that had favored the enemy immediately changed. Anub'arak and Scott possessed only Early Hero combat strength. Although the allies had lost Rachel, they still had four fighters left. Sylvanas, a Mid-Hero, had now become their mainstay and strongest combatant. Even if they could only keep Scott and Anub'arak occupied, Rex's valor would be enough to drive the undead off the walls.
This was a defensive battle, after all. The allied soldiers had not broken, and the undead army had not taken the entire wall. As long as they weathered this fierce assault and had a moment to catch their breath, the situation could stabilize-unless the undead army received more reinforcements.
Rachel's injuries were severe, and death was now near. Rachel could no longer even speak, but those eyes remained bright, showing a clear mind. Looking at the Golden Crystal in Rex's hand, Rachel's eyes shone with an intense light.
