Lucian had a simple ambush plan and it was supposed to be perfect.
The enemies had the superior numbers, they had powerful Ascended in their ranks but power and abilities could be negated in the right circumstances and with the right engagement plan.
It was just like Rex, a mere F Rank Mechanist caused the death of Parasite, an E Rank Gene Augur though he also sacrificed his life for it.
In the world of Ascended, nothing was set in stone.
Lucian's ambush plan was entering its final stages. By now, he expected all the soldiers to either be dead, restrained, or sleeping but things don't always go according to plan.
One of the soldiers was singlehandedly ruining his perfect plan.
In a final barrage, the last of the javelins were shot from the compartments in the ceiling as the javelin phase of his ambush finally came to an end but the damage was already done.
Lieutenant Jones was already dead.
