The Fel angels that were prepared to fight were still caught by the storm's presence. They had not expected it to this degree. They were watching many different things occur. The sands being torn up and thrown away. The pieces of ancient stone being torn from where they had been placed and thrown away toward the dunes. They also witnessed a few unfortunately undead reduced to broken pieces, but that actually increased their morale about their current battles.
What they had also not expected, were the forces from Genesis being so organized and prepared. They saw Ethan and recognized him as a leader within the Fel empire. He was someone that had been sent to deliver supplies before. They knew this and had communicated with their leaders enough to have this understanding.
