August obviously didn't fly the entire way.
He merely left the area that way so as to not give the enemy any information. The artifacts he had on his person were incredibly powerful, and allowing people to lust over them was obviously something August refused to do.
When he was far enough away to be out of their perception range, he teleported to the Shadow Lounge and exited into the fort.
Even this place was different from the way he left it. The atmosphere had changed to the point where he almost couldn't see the bustling society that used to exist here anymore.
The streets were empty. If they didn't have the power to fight, then they stayed at home and refused to leave.
Those who had even a bit of ability were all within the fort's combat regions and walls, helping defend it from the forces beyond.
August's eyes narrowed as he scanned the city.
'The population decreased.'
