After Reiner Tovak was eliminated by technical knockout and transported out of the warzone, Casey and her squad didn't waste a moment celebrating.
Ivan went ahead and personally secured the Medallion.
Meanwhile, the remaining Ebony Cadets in the Sector, after seeing both their Bishop and their strongest defender brought down, fell into total disarray.
Without a central commander to direct their lines, they retreated into the surrounding woods.
The Ivory strike team didn't bother chasing them since the work here was done. They would now have to return to their own territory and give this Medallion to their own Bishop.
So they started moving out, maintaining a tight defensive formation as they doubled back toward the marshland tributaries.
Ivan lagged slightly at the rear of the formation, fingers tightening around the polished emerald stone carved in the shape of a bishop in his hand.
"You were amazing, Lady Casey!"
"Yeah, you took Tovak out with a single hit!"
