The atmosphere within the enemy outpost grew increasingly tense as news of the approaching Thaid flock spread.
The fact was that this wasn't just any group of flying monsters, but it was a massive swarm of Thunderwings, creatures native to the Eldraith mountain range, or at least living nearby that terrifying place.
Of course, the reason these creatures ventured so far west was due to the blackguards' activities in Mur. These activities drove the thaids from Mur to Mannard, which in turn pushed the local thaids away from one of the deadliest places on the Mannard continent.
Erik observed the mounting panic with a sense of grim satisfaction. However, he was also sorry for the few citizens that were still alive, but he couldn't help but be happy for the enemy troops having to bear this clusterfuck of a situation.
The risk of such creatures ending up in the rest of Frant was clear, but at least the Luminara Serpentis Erik circulated should have worked to keep them at bay and around from their territories. When all of this ended, Erik was going to spread this plant everywhere in Frant so that all the monsters would be pushed elsewhere. Hopefully, in Etrium.
The blackguards' actions had finally caught up with them, and nature itself seed to exact revenge on his behalf.
Now, since Erik found out enough information from the panicked foot soldiers' conversations around him, he decided to find where the outpost's leader was.
As he did, he took note of the anti-air artillery units being assembled across the city. The weapons were clearly enhanced by brain crystals.
However, despite the advanced weaponry, the soldiers' anxiety told Erik that even these defences might not be enough against the incoming Thunderwing attack.
Erik had never encountered these creatures personally, but from what he knew, they were powerful.
But that wasn't the only problem. Thunderwings had a deadly brain crystal power, which allowed them to control and make lightning. Like Volkov could.
That made it clear how dangerous such power was because these attacks were… well… fast as lightning, and capable of frying anyone in seconds. Coupled with the speed these creatures had and the sheer number with which they were going to attack, no one knew if they could survive this encounter.
