Chapter 39: Betrayal
He managed to hold himself up with the other three rocks, but that forced him to move gently to one side and spend more time, which made him a little desperate.
He knew that if the rock couldn't support his weight, it would be impossible for it to support the tank's weight. So he had to carefully choose the rocks nearby, as there were still people behind him who needed to follow him. If one had fallen, it meant that it wasn't a good place to step.
That's why he took his time trying out different rocks until he found the right one.
'Phew...' After filling their lungs with air, the three continued on their dangerous path, but Elliot climbed more calmly, praying that nothing would happen up there.
Luckily, the rocks were solid from then on, so he encountered no other problems. Soon, there was only one meter left, which Elliot quickly passed.
When he reached the top, he realized that the fight was still going on, but he couldn't see it. 'They had to move to the side, possibly to take better advantage of the terrain and avoid a landslide. Smart strategy.' He smiled and quickly helped Jenna up.
Then, between the two of them, they helped the tank with a strong pull, which finally allowed them to breathe deeply.
The big man smiled at Elliot. "Thank you. Thank you very much." He even bowed his head.
But Elliot shook his head. "There's no time to waste. Let's hurry, they've moved to another spot."
Elliot drew his sword once more and took the lead. Jenna followed close behind, with the tank trying to keep up.
As they ran through the trees, the sound of battle grew louder, so the tank drew his sword, ready to attack.
