With the arrival of morning, a large piece of floating land appeared in the sky a short distance away from Fort Bender. Already, several sharp eyes had spotted the floating city. And a good number of them were normal people. After all, who wouldn't be able to see a gigantic mass of floating earth with a white walled city sitting atop it.
Gustavo stood atop the tall walls that protected Fort Bender with his arms folded across his chest and his face scrunched up. He could detect powerful aura coming from the approaching landmass and he could faintly recognize one of them. He could not pin it to an identity, though.
Mana charged up in the air as the various defense mechanisms that Gustavo had spent decades installing into the city came to life. Magical cannons and mages all propped themselves up at the top of the wall. Warriors also prepared to charge forward if there was a need for it.
