If they did that, then maybe they would buy enough time for the Eldest to awaken and then perhaps they might just survive.

"How fast are you?!" Vibrant asked.

"Fast enough," Grant grit her mandibles and replied.

"Give us a boost!" She called and the soldier in question ducked her head to allow Vibrant to race up onto her back.
