In no time, someone brought the rope previously used to bind Calista, still marked with her blood.

“Find this woman and tear her apart!” Uriah commanded as he released the leash, unleashing the wolfdogs in the direction he suspected Calista had taken.
Calista braced herself, familiar with the imminent danger, yet the intensity of this moment brought a sharp clarity that she was perilously close to death.
This man has no regard for life. I want neither to die nor to be sold. What should I do?
Just then, a gunshot rang out in the distance, bringing a momentary sense of relief to Calistia, while Uriah’s previously amused expression instantly darkened, his features twisting into a stormy glare. “Who’s
there!”
Amidst intermittent static, voices crackled through the intercom.
“Boss, we’ve encountered a breach at Mount Goldfall… currently, it’s unclear who… but there’s a sizable group-“The report was cut short by screams, leaving Uriah’s expression even grimmer.
Among the many who sought my downfall, who could this new threat be? Kallum? Impossible…. He has already gone to the military district; surely, he couldn’t have mustered such a force. Who then possesses such capabilities? Regardless, I can’t just sit back and do nothing!
Though Uriah was momentarily distracted from Calista, his nature wouldn’t allow him to overlook any affront. He swiftly delegated the task to his henchmen with a grave voice. “If you find that woman, there’s no need to report back. Just kill her on the spot!”
“Understood!”
“Prepare the plane. If we cannot hold them back, we need to retreat swiftly.”
“Roger that!”
As Uriah’s men followed the wolfdogs toward a potential hiding spot, Uriah, surrounded by his loyalists. hastily departed the scene.
While Uriah was coordinating his retreat, Calista seized the moment to act. She tore off her blood–soiled bandage, skewered it onto a branch, and flung it beneath another tree to mislead the wolfdogs. She then quickly wrapped her wound with her outer garment to stem any further bleeding.
Soon after, the pursuers and the wolfdogs converged at the base of the tree, where the beasts ferociously tugged at the blood–soaked cloth.
“That woman must be nearby! Spread out and search for her!” commanded the leader. While the others fanned out, the leader struggled to retrieve the cloth from the wolfdog’s mouth.
At that moment, Calista descended gracefully from her perch, her presence nearly imperceptible. Her movements were light and poised, and as she approached the man, the needle in her hand glinted ominously under the dim light.

a frontal assault.
Mount Goldfall was a crucial stronghold for Uriah in Lostaria, housing his ultimate reserve of resources essential for a possible resurgence.
With the dangerous K Virus in play, it was imperative for Kallum and the people of Lostaria that Uriah not escape with his life. The risk of the havoc he could wreak if left unchecked was unimaginable.
Uriah had initially planned a staunch resistance, but upon realizing the overwhelming odds against him due to the superior strength of his opponent’s forces, he swiftly opted to flee.
Following his strategic directive, the teams split their focus: one provided defensive cover while the other targeted the aircraft with heavy weaponry.
The ensuing barrage resulted in several thunderous explosions, leading to the downing of a plane. This spectacle pushed Uriah to the edge of despair, filled with the premonition of his looming demise.
Who the hell were these well–trained troops and where did they spring from? Apart from Kallum, who else possesses such capability?
With the realization that Kallum’s forces were primarily positioned in the military district, Uriah mistakenly assumed that Kallum would not compromise his position over a woman. Yet, who else possessed such a large reserve of munitions apart from Kallum?
