Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 545

Louis and Timothy were both frustrated.

How could they possibly have kept Victor at bay with such a lack of sincerity in the negotiations? Now, they could only hope that Rafael would complete the rescue mission before Victor returned. If not, the consequences would be dire.

Meanwhile, Rafael had successfully rescued Law.

Upon exiting, he discovered that a fierce battle raged outside. Several of Thomas' group were already injured, but they hadn't suffered too much with Everett present. However, the enemy's numbers were increasing rapidly. They needed to retreat quickly.

As Rafael dashed out, a dozen enemies closed in on him. With a swift leap into the air, he handed Law off to Dylan, who carried the injured man on his back and quickly disappeared into the night.

Rafael used his Lightfoot Skill to return and assist the others in their escape. If they managed to rescue one person only to have several others captured, the mission would be considered a failure.

With Sunstrike in his hand, Rafael flew straight to Jacob's side. He cut through the soldiers surrounding Jacob with a powerful swing, driving them back with sheer force.

Everett was facing off against the enemy's elite forces. Even though Victor had taken many of his top fighters to the negotiations, a dozen had stayed behind. Seeing that Rafael had already rescued Law and they no longer needed to guard the iron door, Everett unleashed his full strength and fought in earnest.

His and Rafael's combined skills were nearly unstoppable. However, the sheer number of enemies made it difficult for everyone to escape. They could only help one person at a time, rescuing each in turn.

Rafael knew they couldn't afford to delay any longer.

Worried about Victor's return and the possibility of enemy reinforcements arriving, he held nothing back. Using his golden sword, he unleashed a whirlwind attack, cutting down several enemies with a single powerful swing. It consumed much of his energy, but he had to push the attackers back quickly to buy them a chance to escape.

Seeing Rafael's determination, Everett spared no effort himself. The two of them worked seamlessly together, gradually retreating to the platform atop the surrounding walls.

The surrounding walls were high. Thomas could barely manage to climb up with his Lightfoot Skill, but the others had to use iron hooks and chains to scale them. That made them vulnerable to being struck by enemy blades.
