The black clouds above the Empress Cobra Zone kept it in perpetual darkness, which didn't help the nervous mood everyone was in.

The soldiers rarely talked since they had to be at the peak of their concentration at all times.

They knew that the enemy would show up. They just didn't know when and where they would appear from.

Sylvia had already shown the power of Susan's Darkness' Veil, and Susan would certainly take advantage of that Spell yet again.

Everyone knew that Susan's entire army would be hidden from view until it was ready to strike.

Whenever that would be.

Shang kept standing in front of the five Mid High Mages that stood in front of the fortified building.

His right eye was closed, and he kept his focus on his surroundings.

Jerald hovered in the air. Luckily, even though his Flying Spell cost a lot of Mana to activate, it didn't cost a lot of Mana to keep up.

Or like a target.

The wait was tense.

It felt like forever.
