After changing the subject and chatting for a bit, the shock brought by the sudden encounter was somewhat soothed. Lightning then asked, "Where are we going now? Are we going back down?"
Ange shook his head, "No, we're going back to get more people."
They returned to the Oasis, stowed the Purple Skeleton Titans away in the Resting Palace, called for the Bone Dragon, and by nightfall, they quietly flew back over Dark City, disappearing into the cloud cover.
"You think you're the only ones who can ambush? We can too," mumbled Negris.
Purple Corpse held two spears, riding atop the bone dragon, Rogge stood holding twin blades at the Dragon's Head, while Ange and his four knights quietly hid in the clouds, riding on Lightning's back.
Early the next morning, the routine patrol began again, with Goblin Marcus controlling the Goblin Airship, slowly making its way through the clouds.
