The warriors of the Nimbria Pack were completely helpless. The attack came so suddenly that they realized it too late. They believed that the calm in their hiding camp was due to the fact that the situation was under control and the Frostholm Pack was unaware of their presence. But the opposite was true. The Frostholm Pack had known from the beginning that the Nimbria warriors were using the Eresca Valley to hide and wait for the right moment to strike.
The sudden attack hit the Nimbria warriors with remarkable speed and precision, giving them no time to react. Ironically, they were unaware of the attack until it was too late.
The elite warriors of the Frostholm Pack employed highly effective tactics. They took advantage of the stillness and silence of the Eresca Valley, as well as the fact that the Nimbria warriors moved in the dark and did their best to remain inconspicuous.
Everything was done with careful calculation. Then executed with precision. One by one, the Nimbria warriors were subdued without a sound.
The elite warriors of the Frostholm Pack kept a vigilant watch, using every dark corner of the Eresca Valley. They moved like natural shadows, blending into the darkness and making the Nimbria warriors unaware that they were being hunted.
The attack began suddenly. The elite warriors of the Frostholm Pack moved swiftly, eliminating targets without causing a stir. They infiltrated the ranks, biting necks, stabbing hearts, and systematically destroying the Nimbria warriors. Each attack was executed with precision, leaving no room for resistance.
The screams of the Nimbria warriors scattered from the main group were barely audible. They were incapacitated by the chilling silence, denied the chance to even cry out for help or give a warning.
By the time Ronan and Marcus realized what was happening, it was too late. Countless warriors of the Nimbria Pack had failed to answer their call, and they were clearly dead.
Ronan wasted no time in coming to a conclusion. The Frostholm Pack had known of their presence there from the beginning. The Frostholm Pack had created the illusion that they were undetected. As a result, the Nimbria Pack had become complacent, and the Frostholm warriors, who had studied their movements, had devised a meticulously planned strategy.
“Damn it,” Ronan cursed angrily. His mind raced with the uncontrolled rage that filled his chest. “Everyone holds your position! Don’t let your guard down!”
Marcus, standing next to Ronan, quickly assessed the situation. “This is a trap. They intend to surround us here.”
The possibility made Ronan’s mouth tighten. His face hardened, veins bulging across his forehead. Sweat began to trickle down his rigid jawline.
Ronan had never imagined that the Frostholm pack would retaliate instead of fortifying their defenses, which had been devastated by the Nimbria warriors the night before. Worse, he hadn’t anticipated that the Frostholm Pack would send an elite team to attack them with guerrilla tactics. As a result, the Eresca Valley, once an ideal hiding place, had become their mass grave.
“We must retreat now, Ronan. We can’t let the warriors die here in vain.”
Ronan was reluctant to admit defeat for the second time in less than twenty-four hours, but the situation was not in his favor. So, he reluctantly agreed with Marcus. He shouted, “Retreat! All of you, retreat!”
The remaining warriors of the Nimbria Pack quickly followed Ronan’s orders. They turned into wolves and ran quickly away. Their destination was the exit route on the south side of the valley.
But the warriors of the Nimbria Pack were once again confronted with a shocking reality. When Ronan, Marcus, and the others reached the southern side of the Eresca Valley, they found another elite team from the Frostholm Pack waiting for them.
The escape route was blocked. The Nimbria Pack warriors could not escape. Their only option was to fight the Frostholm Pack elite team as best they could.
In terms of numbers, the Frostholm Pack elite team might be outnumbered by the Nimbria warriors. However, they had exceptional mobility and a deep understanding of the valley’s terrain. This advantage allowed them to easily overwhelm the Nimbria warriors, especially when two additional elite teams from the Frostholm Pack joined the fray. The situation became increasingly desperate for the Nimbria warriors.
Ferdie, with incredibly quick movements, almost like the blink of an eye, managed to kill the Nimbria warriors in a remarkably short time. Ronan growled and started to retaliate, but Ferdie had already disappeared into the darkness.
Still, Ronan did not give up. Together with Marcus and the remaining warriors, they worked in unison to anticipate the attacks of the Frostholm Pack’s elite team.
A low growl echoed through the trees from Ronan’s mouth, signaling the warriors to stay alert. They formed a defensive circle, their tails touching, creating a strong defensive formation. Meanwhile, Marcus scanned the area with a keen eye, trying to find any gaps or signs of the Frostholm Pack’s elite team.
However, the Frostholm Pack elite team moved with remarkable cunning. They used their speed and sharp instincts to attack in the most effective way. As a result, one by one, the Nimbria warriors on the outer line fell quickly, their blood flowing and soaking the ground.
Ronan responded with a deadly bite that successfully drove off one of the Frostholm pack’s wolves. Similarly, Marcus’ quick reflexes saved Ronan from another attack.
Ronan and Marcus were panting heavily. They had managed to kill several Frostholm Pack wolves, which rekindled the fighting spirit of the Nimbria Pack warriors. Their morale soared, motivated to retaliate just as fiercely. They vowed to eliminate the Frostholm Pack’s entire elite team, leaving none of them alive.
Unfortunately, the Nimbria Pack’s confidence did not last long. From a distance, a long wolf howl pierced the air, adding to the already terrifying atmosphere.
The Nimbria Pack was once again shocked by a different reality. The elite teams and guerrilla tactics were not the only threats they would face. On the contrary, the warriors of the Frostholm Pack were coming in full force, led directly by Ivan.
