Draiss had to admit that Verdelet had finally picked up that touch of complete monster she had lacked before, which would make killing her so much easier. Not that it would be hard even without it, but he did make a point to have every god get shown EXACTLY how Verdelet operated. His observer drone oriented on the approaching kids, and his constructs continued to do what they did best, though he did direct most attacks around the children, only allowing precision weapons and sharp shooters to fire through or around the kids, as several portals weaved through the crowds, defying several known 'laws' of how the portals operated as they scooped up the kids and dropped them well back from the artillery lines, right in the middle of the construct camps, where Jashah and her students were, along with the rest of the healers that weren't able to go into the combat zones.<br/><br/>The OTHER psychological traps, however, where obliterated without pause, concern, or mercy, since he knew for a fact that none of his allies were anywhere near the front lines, and none had been captured previously. It did mean that Verdelet was shifting her tactics to toss even more children at him, forcing him to 'waste' power, but he was draining the death and blood magic around him to recharge, keeping her from using it herself. He grinned as the third group of civilians were evacuated, this time containing a couple teenagers and adults, though as he established a procedure for them, he altered the drop point so only constructs were near the organic shields when they came out, though they all went through a fairly powerful anti-magic and disjunction spell as they came out, which should prevent any spell or tech traps from detonating in the middle of the areas.<br/><br/>The constructs with him were the absolute best, the death squads as efficient in destroying the enemy as they ever were, even using the 'dying' constructs as bombs, tossing them toward enemy concentrations so they exploded in the middle of them. The hidden ground traps were their biggest issue, as they got within the last quarter mile of the fortress, they just couldn't sense them before they activated under them, making it the ultimate culling ground for them, where only the skilled, attentive, lucky, and powerful survived. He showed Ama and Inari what he and his were blasting through, nearly seventy percent of the six hundred thousand that had gotten through the portal with him down already, and then cheekily asked if she knew of any force that would still be able to advance at the pace they had been, covering nearly ten miles in an hour under the heaviest resistance the multiplanarverse had seen in a LONG time, while still maintaining good order and tactics.
