A few months later.
Trillions of kilometers from the Shadowcrest Outpost, a sentry hidden from the ground was set up,
"Enemy sighted," Zoe, Nathan's wife, muttered.
Zoe's physique is called the Heavenly Eye.
It grants her the ability to see, hear, and smell farther than an average individual in the same realm.
"They've already arrived? How far?" Nathan frowned and asked.
"1,030 trillion kilometers. I estimate they will reach the Shadowcrest Outpost in a few days."
"The time has come..." Nathan sighed, taking out a device to report the news to the base.
While doing so, he suddenly noticed his two sons, Silvan and Martin, sneaking out.
"Where are you going?"
"Uh, to help Uncles and Aunties?" Silvan replied uncertainly.
"No, that's not how our family fights. We sneak silently and strike from the back. Staying on the frontline would only promote your recklessness in a fight," Nathan said seriously.
