"Temporary help...?"
Valemont had barely repeated those words when the first mercenary stepped through a portal.
A powerful spiritual aura spread across the lot, making the nearest officers stiffen... their hands instinctively reached for their gun-shaped solar totems before the Chancellor raised his palm.
"Lower them. They're with us."
The mercenary acknowledged him with a slight nod and moved aside, allowing five companions to follow.
A Solarbound captain... accompanied by five Wardens!
Valemont's expression changed at once. Before he could approach them, another squad emerged from the adjoining portal... then another, their spiritual auras overlapping until even the workers farther down the street stopped clearing the rubble!
The mercenaries belonged to a mixture of races, but the squads shared one thing... their strength!
Each had a Solarbound captain leading five Wardens, and they kept coming until twelve squads stood among the mountains of supplies!
"...Twelve?"
