CHAPTER TWENTY

The clearing with the new Fortification opened in front of David, and he smiled grimly at it. “We’re there,” he told Josiah. “And we need help.”

“Steve is the leader of the group,” Josiah said. “Team Five, Lord, they are there. How far back are the Daemons?”

“Ten minutes,” Aly said, piping into the communication stream.

David gently set down the young women he was carrying. Both girls groaned in exhaustion, having pushed themselves until they literally collapsed several times over the last couple of hours. David then sent a Mana Bolt streaming over the Fortification. “Team Five, we need help carrying the rescuees, most of them are unable to walk anymore.”

“On our way,” Steve said. David saw the large man leap off the wall, and a few seconds later a small spattering of people came running around from the north gate.

David turned and helped the last few former slaves out of the forest. “You’re safe now,” he said.

“We’ll take care of you,” Liz said, healing Mana flowing from her hands into the strained muscles, blisters, and cuts that their flight had caused. Colin just kept going, heading for the fort with the four people that were hanging off of him.

“Come on,” David told the two girls and then lifted them up again. He passed Steve and the others. “Liz is waving you down. Let’s get them into the fort and give them a chance to rest and recover. Then we need to plan for the Daemons coming.”

“We’ll smash them to pieces,” Steve said with a grin, running past David to lift two more people.

David didn’t bother heading to the gate, and simply leaped to the top of the wall, then used Vanguard’s Charge to redirect his momentum down to the ground on the other side. The blast of Energy scattered across the stone ground he landed on, and he gently set the girls down. “I’ll be back,” he said with a bad accent.

“Oh, are there terminators too?” one of them whispered, looking around fearfully.

“No, sorry,” David said. “We’ll explain what we know after we deal with our pursuers.”

“You’re going to fight them?” she whimpered. “They always hurt us so much when we fought back.”

“These aren’t the first Daemons we’ve killed,” David said confidently. “Nor will they be the last. We’re going to remove them from our planet entirely.”

“But they were so strong,” she whispered. “They overpowered everyone, especially Abez’thib’u. He laughed as he killed a dozen strong men.”

“I will take care to destroy him then,” David said, “but now, I must go.” He gently pried her hand off his, then turned and jumped to the top of the fort’s walls. Wow, these really aren’t super great at keeping things out, are they? he thought to himself. Colin landed beside him, and they both watched as the team that Josiah had sent brought the rest of the freed people across the open area.

“Aly, how long do we have?” Colin asked.

“No more than two minutes,” she said. “I’m heading around them now. There’s too many for me to hit them from behind.
