Sirius greeted the young man with a heavy sigh of relief.
"Right on time," the commander called out over the din of combat, maintaining his Tiger’s glowing assault against the dragon’s flank. "We could use a fresh pair of hands down here. And not just any hands; having one of the strongest dual tamers in the kingdom tips the scales nicely."
Liu offered a curt nod. His sharp ears were already sweeping the chaotic terrain, registering the subtle shifts in the battlefield through the faintest noises.
Sirius quickly briefed him on the logistics, outlining the remaining enemy headcount and their current defensive posture. However, Liu had not flown all this way just to offer his services, he had brought an ominous update too.
"Sirius sir, there is something you need to know." Liu kept his voice low, cutting through the roar of the fire and the shrieks of the mutants. "The remaining beasts from the city siege are heading this way... All of them. Selthia knows Ren is not here, she also knows there is no one left capable of wiping out her army in a single strike for the foreseeable future hours. Liora bled her core almost dry too. The capital is safe behind her firewall, but she cannot leave, and Selthia is likely fully aware of that by now."
Liu paused, letting the strategic reality settle.
"She has to be furious after losing two fronts. So she is pushing all her remaining chips into the center of the table right here."
Sirius commanded his Tiger to halt its advance for a split second.
"How many?"
"If we include the forces currently engaging the dragon here... you are looking at roughly four hundred high-tier Platinum units. And less important but still, with them are about thirty thousand, so sixty thousand beasts of Gold rank or lower. That is the combined total we will face once the march arrives. The numbers on this front are about to double."
The sheer weight of that figure settled heavily onto Sirius’s shoulders.
Four hundred high level mutants. On a front where the defenders were already gasping for breath, where their spiritual fire was failing to neutralize the cannibalistic recovery already, and where the target dragon simply refused to die.
It was the exact kind of overwhelming numerical disadvantage that buried hope.
"That is catastrophic," Sirius murmured, his jaw tight.
"Perhaps not so much."
Sirius moved his gaze back toward the younger man, his eyes narrowing in surprise.
"Think about the logistics," Liu explained. "You said it yourself just a moment ago. We do not possess the necessary firepower to finish this dragon on our own. Its regeneration outpaces our damage output. But if Selthia wagers four hundred Platinums, she definitely has the output to kill it."
He let the silence hang for a beat before delivering the punchline.
