Night fell on the Red Mist Star, and Aldrian with his troops had already built their accommodation for the night inside the fortress. The fortress was located on top of a hill, surrounded by barren land that stretched to the horizon.
Normally, anyone who wanted to attack this place would be spotted by the sentries, which meant the devils would have time to prepare for defense. This made attacking the fortress extremely difficult, since the terrain provided a natural advantage and the troops inside could prepare accordingly.
The only way for opponents to strike this fortress was from space. However, that was also difficult, because they would most likely be spotted by the cultivators who patrolled the area above.
