Uriel immediately retracted her head behind the corner, then muttered to Aurora, "There are ten of them."
The Hollow Ones had a good nose for sniffing out creatures who used mana. So, when Aurora heard that there were ten ahead, she knew that it would only be a matter of seconds before the creatures caught on to them.
She immediately turned to the group and quickly whispered into her whisperscript.
"There's ten of the hollow ones in the way. The vanguards will try to take them down as quickly as possible. As for the rest of you, when the fighting starts, continue on into the temple."
The cadets nodded, their expressions hardening as they prepared for the sudden shift from stealth to combat.
The vanguards of the group were Aurora, Cedric, Leon, Xavier, Alicia, Roben, Levi, Celeste, and five others from Princess Aurora's party.
The cadets, including the vanguards, all got ready when they heard the order.
