Beginning Of The End (7)

The attack happened so fast that Veles and the others were momentarily shocked. However, because of their years of experience, they recovered their wits immediately and acted accordingly.

Celestine turned his attention to the projector while reestablishing his Divine Sense. Prior to the explosion, he and the rest of the war room representatives had not seen any noticeable change in the enemies' movement. It was for this reason that they were surprised at the sudden attack. In any case, even if there had been no movement change from the enemy side, that did not mean they were not doing anything.

Just like how the enemies attacked the Military District, even with the Dragon Clan's array formation in place, Celestine, or even Ducal, had not sensed anything amiss. Considering this, the enemies might have a way to ignore or bypass some of the array formation's defensive formulas and hide their presence.
