Minutes after Heaven's Mandate's retreat, another portal appeared, and a familiar figure emerged from it.
"My liege! We're here to assist you!" Dong Ye's voice could be heard even before his body fully emerged from the portal.
However, when he came out and saw the empty scene, Dong Ye turned to look at Yuan with a puzzled face.
He wasn't alone, as the Shadow Army came with him, and they were just as puzzled. They were even prepared to fight to the death with Heaven's Mandate.
"My liege, what happened to Heaven's Mandate?" he asked.
Yuan responded with a calm smile, "They ran away."
"What? Run away? Heaven's Mandate?" Dong Ye's eyes widened with surprise.
He didn't even know such a thing was possible.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Do you happen to know which squad they belonged to?"
"The Second Squad. Why does that matter?" Yuan asked with curiosity.
