The howls of wolves echoed across the plains, resonating near and far.
The air seemed filled with the low roars of these snarling beasts.
They rushed forward relentlessly, ready to attack all life in their path.
But just then, heavy hoofbeats suddenly came from afar.
Cyril turned to look, seeing a sudden black line appear at the edge of the plains, stretching thousands of meters, rapidly expanding.
As the distance closed, it became clear that it was the Knight Order charging swiftly.
Knights adorned in armor, their faces exposed and covered in strange patterns, rode agile Black Panthers racing forward, surging like tides toward the wolves.
"It's the Demon Pattern Knight Order, one of the core legions of the Star Alliance," Maisy said.
A strange light flickered in Cyril's eyes, "They came quite quickly."
The Star Alliance couldn't possibly know the invasion point ahead of time, which was one of the invaders' advantages.
