The Elder took a pause before continuing again. "The wounded drakes fought fiercely once again, killing most of them, but they were overwhelmed by sheer coordination and tactics. One of them was captured alive."
Elyon clenched his fists. "To think they could plan something like that so well… no wonder it worked."
Lin Mu's eyes narrowed. "And the rest of your kin arrived after that?"
"Yes," the Elder said with a heavy sigh. "By the time we reached the battlefield, the damage was done. The other two young drakes had already collapsed from their wounds. They survived, but only barely.
We annihilated the remaining enemies, but a few escaped. They used powerful teleportation talismans, something on par with spatial escape treasures. We could not stop them. The one who was captured vanished without a trace."
The chamber fell silent. Even the hum of the formation in the walls seemed to fade.
Daoist Chu's voice came out low. "The Imperial Court's report said nothing of this."
