Commander Duan and Commander Wu had officially established a temporary joint leadership.
After completing a few things, both men went to the medical center, where Deputy Commander Jia and Winter were treated. Their arrival attracted others' attention.
Major Chang stated that Deputy Commander Jia and Winter were still unconscious. Then, Commander Duan announced he would arrest the deputy for committing treachery.
Another chaos unfurled in Blackstone Fortress.
When Deputy Commander Jia was dragged to the holding cell that dawn, Ashrik and Isaac had reached the space for a few hours already. Their travel had worn them out.
The fire wielder collapsed onto his bed the moment they arrived; eyes half-shut, words slurred by exhaustion. His consciousness disappeared into heavy sleep almost instantly.
The ice wielder, on the other hand, only allowed himself a short nap. Three, maybe less than four hours. Despite knowing it wasn't enough, his mind had already stirred him awake.
