The council's preparations for the next series of assaults were thorough and meticulous. They knew that the darkness would not rest, and each victory they achieved brought them one step closer to a final confrontation. The information gathered from the captured commander and the defeat of The Veil provided critical insights into the enemy's operations. Among the identified targets, one stood out as particularly crucial: Emberfall.
Emberfall was a strategically significant fortress, nestled in the volcanic mountains to the east. Its geographical location made it a formidable stronghold, protected naturally by treacherous terrain and reinforced by dark magic. Taking Emberfall would not only weaken the enemy's hold on the region but also provide the resistance with a vital stronghold from which to launch further operations.
Elara, Aiden, and Roderic gathered their key commanders to discuss the plan of attack. The atmosphere in the war room was tense but resolute.
