A fleet of warships burst down through the clouds, and as Jenera laid her eyes on them, they widened.
'The north!'
The two words thundered in Jenera's mind.
Everything had been a diversion! The warships that gathered to form one colossal vessel… the attempt to get close enough to the shield… all of it.
The shield eater must have escaped into the clouds as the formation was forming!
Jenera wasted not a single second as her voice boomed across the control room. "It's a diversion! They're at the north!"
The expressions of Oberon and many of the operators shifted violently. Their eyes darted towards the screen, and in the next instant, their hearts sank.
As the news reached the other paragons, they felt nothing but dread.
An abyssal black glow ignited on the hull of the aegis shield eater as it prepared to fire on the exposed northern flank.
The operators watched the scene unfold in horror. If the aegis shield fell, it would be nothing but carnage.
