The sound of the bells told Eon that the battle was starting. He took a deep breath and joined the group that was going to be fighting outside of the walls. He left command of the fort to Greg. Dark uniforms surrounded Eon as they created several different formations.
The main goal of the outside force was to disable any siege weapons on the field. Also to cause as much chaos for the attacking force as possible. Eon raised his fist and dropped it. The group quickly ran into the forest on either side and blended into the shadows of the trees.
Eon tapped into his reinforcement magic and entered the state he always used to battle. He felt his muscles and skin harden as he leaped from tree to tree. The days of hardened training in the Elite Academy had prepared him for this. Right now he should be indistinguishable from the other shadows.
