We found ourselves fighting alone against wave after wave of enemy soldiers. The elite soldiers, as well as their less-skilled counterparts, kept following us, almost as if they were studying our every move. It was a relentless assault that showed no sign of easing up, and we were hard-pressed to hold our ground.
Despite our valiant efforts, the enemy soldiers kept coming at us, their numbers seeming to grow with each passing moment. Mila used her water powers to great effect, creating waves that sent the soldiers tumbling backwards and pouring water on the ground, causing them to slip and slide. Lezlie, for her part, unleashed a barrage of ice attacks, breaking the frozen substance on top of the soldiers and causing them to fall and be neutralized.
Hiroshi fought with the precision and finesse of a seasoned warrior, defending himself with a small knife in one hand and a gun in the other. He took down soldiers who approached him with his knife and shot those at a distance with his weapon. He even used one soldier as a human shield, stabbing him in the shoulder before firing at the legs of his comrades, taking them out of commission.
I too fought with all my might, using my immense strength to knock down several soldiers at once with a single blow. However, as I was about to engage another group of soldiers, I was suddenly swarmed by a horde of about two dozen men. Quick on my feet, I slammed the ground with all my might, creating a powerful rocking effect that disoriented my attackers. Seizing the opportunity, I charged towards them, using all my might to unleash a barrage of devastating attacks.
In the heat of the battle, Babu's voice suddenly rang out from behind me, shouting instructions. With no time to spare, he revealed his plan to me. And he asked for my support for this. It was a risky move, but with our backs against the wall, we had no other choice but to trust in our teammate's ingenuity and hope for the best.
Babu was running towards me as I battled against the soldiers swarming around me. As he got closer, Babu leaped into the air, tucking his arms and legs in to form a ball shape. With precise timing, I struck Babu with a forceful palm strike, propelling him forward with incredible speed. Babu barrelled through the enemy lines, neutralizing any soldier in his path.
Suddenly, six adversaries leaped towards me, attempting to overpower me. Though I stumbled briefly, I quickly regained my footing and used a powerful spinning kick to knock all six foes to the ground. But before I could celebrate my victory, I felt a punch that rocked me to my core. Despite my best efforts to block the attack, the force of the blow sent me gliding backwards. Using my hands to dig into the ice on the ground, I managed to halt my momentum just in time to face a new assailant.

It was Hurk, an elite soldier with four arms. Hurk regarded me with interest, bowing his head and speaking with a low rumble in his voice.
"I like your power, boy," he said. "Let's see if you can entertain me."
I raised my head and flashed him a confident grin.
"The party's just getting started, right?" I replied. "Don't worry, I'll show you plenty more."
As the battle raged on, I found myself locked in a fierce struggle with Hurk, the four-armed elite soldier. With lightning-fast reflexes and unmatched strength, he proved to be a formidable opponent. I unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks, hoping to land a decisive blow, but he deftly blocked and dodged each attack.
Undaunted, I launched a powerful punch aimed at his stomach. To my surprise, he caught my fist with his third arm, rendering my attack useless. Thinking on my feet, I executed a reverse somersault and kicked him in the chin, creating enough space to hit him with a fierce shoulder charge.
Hurk staggered back, releasing my left arm due to the impact. Seizing the opportunity, I lunged forward with a punch. However, his four arms proved to be a significant advantage, as he blocked my attack with ease and darted away.
Undeterred, I attempted another punch, but he quickly grabbed my fist and pulled me towards him. As he prepared to strike, I ducked under his arm and delivered a crushing elbow blow to his face. Despite the blow, he managed to catch my elbow with one of his other arms, leaving me trapped in a painful hold.
Frustrated and helpless, I resorted to kicking him in the chest with my free leg. But to my dismay, he easily caught my kick with his remaining arms and threw me into the air. As I plummeted to the ground, he signaled for his ally, a lightning-fast elite soldier, to attack.
Panicking, I braced myself for the worst, but I was saved by the timely intervention of Hiroshi, who fired a shot right into the midst of our struggle. As the dust settled, Hiroshi calmly approached me and declared that the odds were unfair.
Undeterred, Hurk taunted us, insisting that victory was still within their grasp. But I remained resolute, ready to fight on and let the outcome of the war determine the true victor. With my heart racing and my fists clenched, I stood firm in front of them, ready for whatever came next. Hiroshi and I were side by side against them.
We didn't know exactly what lineage they came from or what powers they had, but compared to the enemies in the first kingdom, our enemies here were really on another level. With that in mind, we had to be very careful and act accordingly, otherwise, it would not be good for Hiroshi and me.
Thinking about the danger of the area we were in made us a little more nervous, but I knew I had to put my thoughts aside and fight. The only way out of here was to win this war.
