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.

And worst of all, there was no counter to Darkness' Veil.

Neither Sylvia nor Jerald could come with any kind of Spell or Magic Circle that would be able to feel Darkness' Veil.

This meant that the first attack for Susan and the Council would be free.

They had the initiative, which was a scary thought since she had tens of High Mages following her command.

A concentrated attack of so many High Mages was devastating.

Everyone knew that many people would die during the first attack.

They only hoped it wasn't them.

Hours passed.

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.

Jerald hovered above the army like a beacon of hope and power…

Or like a target.

The wait was tense.

It felt like forever.
