Gong Da, Liu Hanhua, and another Security Officer heard the message that came through their communication watches and froze. The deputy director's order caught them completely by surprise.
However, they didn't dwell on it. Obeying a superior's orders was their sworn duty. Without a moment's hesitation, they immediately withdrew from the standoff.
"Pull back!" As he withdrew from the battlefield, Liu Hanhua shouted toward a spot in the mid-air.
"Right." From his position in the air, Li Qian nodded and began to withdraw as well. In truth, he had been preparing to retreat even before Liu Hanhua called out.
From his high vantage point, he had already seen the plumes of rising dust. Within it, the massive silhouettes of Rock Giants were vaguely discernible. They were, without a doubt, charging right toward this spot.
'Stick around now, and you'll just be waiting to be crushed to a pulp.'
'They must be after that Dark Red Rock.'
