The despicable system didn't let my expectations down. At the sixth fort and as we just got near it in the same manner as before, the front scouts of my elite vampires returned with the leadership of the two princes of them.
"My lady," Derky said with a dark face, "there is something up front."
"There is a strange dark cloud that blocks our way to the fort," Trefor said before adding, "it stretched out for miles everywhere. I even believe the fort lies in its heart."
"A black cloud?" I asked while glancing from the top of my giant shoulders. "I can't see anything."
"This one is quite tricky my lady," Trefor said.
"It camouflaged itself with the surrounding nature," Derky said before adding, "it only shows its true color when someone touched it and activated its defensive mechanism."
"defensive mechanism?" I asked in doubt, "what is it?"
"A black lightning," Trefor sighed, "we lost many good vampires thanks to this brutal attack."
