The fighting had begun, and an hour had already passed since the Enforcers had taken cover behind a defensive block.
They had held their ground, even when more than 7,000 Initiates had swarmed their formation all at once. It was proof of their strength—especially in the face of such overwhelming numerical disadvantage. The attackers were ten times more numerous, more ferocious, more determined... but the Enforcers were more balanced.
Where their enemies had only rage, they were professionals, hardened in battle. After overcoming the initial shock, they regained their efficiency.
Although the number of troops present in the fortress had been drastically reduced due to the general staff's decisions,
the major had made sure to keep his best elements, prioritizing the transfer of the less competent soldiers.
The quality of the remaining troops was such that they would not have been disgraced even among the elite of the Order.
