A while ago…
On the other side of the Black Forest, inside the human base, everything was proceeding as usual.
The camp was calm.
Knights moved along their patrol routes. Support staff carried supplies between tents. The sound of training echoed faintly in the distance.
At the center of the base stood a large reinforced tent. The control and monitoring tent.
Inside, several people worked quietly.
Strange-looking machines filled the tent. Crystals embedded in metal frames hummed softly, their light reflecting off multiple screens.
These devices continuously scanned the surrounding area of the base. Not too far, but far enough to detect anything unfamiliar approaching.
On one of the screens, a circular radar rotated steadily. There was nothing unusual on it. Just calm forest. Just empty signals.
The operator, a middle-aged man wearing a communication headset, leaned back slightly in his chair. "Another quiet day," he muttered.
But not for much longer.
Beep!
