After estimating how long it would take the Pyrathi to arrive, Miles put away his phone.
"Pull the guards from the gate. Replace them with members of the Fallen Star Guard."
"What are you...?" The others looked confused.
"Don't worry about it. Just do as I say."
"Yes, sir."
The Stage B guards were quickly withdrawn and replaced by the Fallen Star Guard, every member of which had reached Tier 35 of Stage S.
Miles nodded in satisfaction, then raised a pair of binoculars and looked into the distance.
Before long, a group of red figures appeared on the horizon. Under everyone's tense gaze, they approached at incredible speed.
The Pyrathi stopped when New Atlas came into view, astonishment showing on their faces.
Ever since arriving in this world, they had seen nothing but ruin. The city occupied by the Nivari had already been one of the better places they'd found.
They hadn't expected a city this magnificent to exist here.
