The Goshawk fighting style was straightforwardThey were brutal and overwhel was complete, they were less an are they cauard was now clearly separated into three groups

First was Cloudhawk hi the Goshawks and Talons fro them were the drunk, Gabriel, and Roc who served as lieutenantsThey were in a frenzied battle with Oren and his Deo as led by Wendigo KingThey held the flanks against a constant and concerted push froht off what they could while avoiding the erous of Skycloud’s deenetically modified warriors of the Dark AtomCoal himself didn’t have any innate leadershi+p talent and had pushed too far into the ene torn apart by Elysian soldiers

The Wendigo King ripped through a charging demonhunter with his scarlet clawsIt was his sixth kill since the battle began at the cost of nine injuriesA full third of his forces were already dead and ten of the Khan’s personal Black Knights had fallen

He was not pleased with how the battle was turningWendigo were a sparse population as it was and he couldn’t understand the logic in putting the wasn’t like the other fighters here – he ht have thrown in his lot with Nox, but his foreo were born of the dusty wastelandThey were uniquely suited to it while the hu for resources and status, and if that was the case then ere his people dying for their benefit? For this reason the Wendigo King insisted on co his own forceUnder his direction, they could avoid theasure acted in the coCoal pierced into the eneard to safety or survivalHis zeal caused his ainst a crowd of elite Elysian warriors and a handful of deainst several relic-wielding de to blow hi some small injuries but that was allCoal roared at them in defiance and ended the lives of whatever came within arm’s reach

He was no typical ifted warriorAt his young age he was already a threat to veteran demonhuntersWith time there was no question he could rise to the ranks of a wasteland king

The Wendigo King vowed to remember this exceptional mutantNext he turned his attention to the old drunk

Once Cloudhawk left to save Dawn he had risen to replace hierous warrior on their sideAlone he was able to keep Oren locked down together with seven demonhuntersIt helped reuard

Oren Cloude was no ht-Co defeats; first at the hands of a transformed Cloudhawk and hnw by this disheveled old lushIt was foolish to consider the commander weak, but even so his attacks could not break the drunk’s unassailable defenses

Meanwhile the drunk danced aa he could exploit to end the Knight-Commander’s life, but he let each one pass by

It was a confusing realizationCloudhaas a er than the lastWhy didn’t this old man just kill him and be done with it? Without their commander the Demonhunter Corps would be much easier to breakWhat’s more the drunk could turn his attention to other foesHe could handily tie up another ten veteran demonhunters all on his own and prevent further casualties on his side

The Wendigo King wasn’t alone in his confusionOren himself wasn’t sure what tohi with hination and yelled at his foe“Are you having fun leaping around like a ht like a man!”

The drunk responded to the outburst with his typical flippant grin, flashi+ng yellow teeth“Don’t worry about itI was dragged into this fight, nothing moreThe fewer I kill the better – the only life I want is the Governor’s”

What? Kill Arcturus?! This dirty beggar has the gall to speak such blaspheile temperament cracked even further

The Wendigo King sighed in reliefTo avoid any further loss of life he ordered his men back“Stop the advance! We will take up the rear, make sure the main force isn’t surrounded and keep the door open for the rest”

Coal saw it as an opportunity to cause more mayhem“Kill them! Cut in deeper! We have to help Cloudhawk!”

Before the whole of thein deeperHe released his own special ability and there a the wave of Elysians he erupted into a coluh Sanctuary’s defensive line, leading his arriors closer toward the heart of the stronghold, like it was the only way to ease the guilt in his heart

However as they closed in on Sanctuary’s central area Coal was cut off by Hanized the mutant his stoic face darkened like a thunderhead
