Chapter 60: Battle Start

They advanced in a semi-circle formation, with their esteemed leader, Nero Dekrauf, leading the charge at the forefront, flanked by two of his five Lieutenants, William and Ella, who commanded the left and right wings of the formation, respectively.

Anastasia, her third Lieutenant, was right behind Nero, covering his back.
