In the sect's center, Darian and several important figures watched footage of what was happening in the cities through the big inscription that connected everything inside their domain.
Countless enemies were furiously attacking the cities' protective barriers. The barriers began to give way fast, and in no time, the places were turned to wasteland.
"Wait! We'll kill every last one of you!" many roared in fury as they watched their ancestral homes get destroyed.
All the barriers were at maximum strength, but they were completely destroyed in minutes. In other words: the enemies always had the power to invade the cities and raze them quickly — for some reason, until now they hadn't.
People in the sect broke out in a cold sweat, facing that truth. The earlier attacks had just been raids by training troops and weak armies. Now they were showing a bit of their real power.
They didn't know, but Darian and Remira already understood why all this was happening.
