The destruction of the supply depot was a significant blow to the Shadow Sovereign, and the allied forces returned to their stronghold with a renewed sense of purpose. The victory had not only crippled the enemy's logistics but also strengthened the bonds among the various factions. However, Alaric knew that their journey was far from over. The Shadow Sovereign would retaliate, and they needed to be prepared for the challenges ahead.
The days following the victory were spent fortifying their defenses and reinforcing their alliances. Training sessions became more rigorous, with each faction sharing their unique combat techniques and strategies. The once disparate groups now moved and fought as one cohesive unit, their unity a testament to Alaric's leadership.
During one of these training sessions, Alaric and Adrian sparred in the courtyard, their movements a blur of speed and precision. The gathered warriors watched in awe, inspired by the prowess of their leaders.
