Preparation

At first, the scouts approached, but Rain got rid of them with his magic. Just like before, he made them disappear underground and killed them by piercing their hearts. 

Once that happened, the human army slowed down since they knew that something was off from the very moment they stopped receiving reports from the scouts, and there were no signs of them.

Three kilometers away from the capital, the human army came to a halt. In the dead of night, the soldiers worked diligently to establish their camps, their actions synchronized with military precision. However, only half of the soldiers focused on setting up the camp, while the other half fell into formation, preparing for an imminent task. The night air was filled with an aura of anticipation and tension as they readied themselves for what lay ahead.
