Gabriel did not answer right away.
Instead, he looked down at the greatsword in his hand and lifted it slightly.
"This."
Scarlet followed his movement, her eyes narrowing. She could feel the sword's aura even without touching it. It felt hungry, like it wanted more blood, like it was waiting for a command. She wanted to ask questions, but the sound of engines in the distance forced her to shut her mouth.
The war tanks were already close enough for the steel plating to be seen clearly. The ground vibrated with every roll forward, and the soldiers around them began to move with renewed confidence, like they had finally found something that could crush Broken Dawn.
Seraphina's expression darkened as she hovered beside Gabriel. "Those tanks are not stopping. They are coming straight through everything."
"I know," Gabriel replied.
