Fendros sighed in thought for only a moment. He looked up at the others. "We cannot know either way until we advance. Even if the defences are too hard to break through with soldiers, we still need to break through as a pack and get to Vile."

"Vile is closer than ever," Janius growled, facing ahead. "We gain little by waiting."

Sabine gripped her staff tightly. "I do not know. But...we came this way to avoid being overwhelmed."

Fendros scanned their formations. He could see a lot of blood and a lot of casualties getting healed. The few minutes of respite was a powerful thing. He wondered how much more they could gain.
