Cloudhawk continued to look around the battlefield until he spied a wastelander h Sanctuary’s defensive shellAs it’s shadow fell over the fortress wave after wave of Black Knights descended to join the fight
Frost saw it too and his face darkened“Stop thehters, what Cloudhawk understood to be Godslayers and wasteland hts were stronger than a typical member of the Demonhunter Corps – more in line with TemplarsThe product of years of Nox’s effort and resources, they were trained directly by the hty leaderWhen they were fully trained they were nightmares of martial capability ielded relics artfully, warriors of superior quality and fighting prowess

It was a passing thought, however, as Cloudhawk called back the Silver SerpentsHe wrapped his arsThey both shot off into the distance, away froer
Seconds only had passed since the blow caught her, but Dawn’s face was already deathly paleShe didn’t even have strength to hold Terrangelica
