"They must be trying to break through."
"Break through? Can they really manage that?"
Gwen was immediately startled.
"Now we can only put our trust in them."
Fulaya also had no better solution.

Outside the defense line, in the starry sky.
Level 5 Mother Ship, Observation's central control room.
A middle-aged man in a junior general's uniform, short and freckled, paced back and forth anxiously.
"General Ashren, what's troubling you?"
A subordinate asked with confusion.
"What's troubling me? My eyelid is twitching, and the Heavenly Light Shield fortress is under attack at such a critical moment. It feels ominous, could something be going wrong?"
"Sir, you're overthinking. There are so many troops stationed at the Heavenly Light Shield, and Lord Sorrenke has also brought reinforcement, it should be fine. Though our forces here are fewer in number, those women from Rain Capital surely can't stir up much trouble, they're too afraid to even step out of the line."
"Hmm."
