Draiss looked up and sighed in vexation, shedding the heavy robe to reveal his 'working outfit' underneath. "Figures, though I would have thought they would wait until they had a chance of escaping. The crowd will shred them if my shadow stalkers can break them apart. Not an earthquake, a suicide attack. Or at least, it is now."<br/><br/>He checked the battle communication network, noting that the Oversoul was already alerted, and scrambling squads already in the facilities to respond to the attack.<em>Three to one odds that V is involved in one way or another.</em><em>No bet.</em><br/><br/>He began shifting the four squads he had stationed at Dragon Roost through the teleport circle, while the four Heavy units stayed entrenched where they were.  The only death squad on the planet was already in the crowd, and moving to flank him, while he used mass divine shield on the royals before charging the one squad providing them security to evacuate them. The other squad was scattered into pairs, and where being pressed hard, and even as he checked one pair went down to the combined enemy unit group assaulting them. They didn't explode, as the civilians nearby would have been caught up in it, but instead immediately released the safety seal on their power sources, flash charring them into lumps of twisted and useless metal, the delicate innards nothing more than fine carbon ash. He jerked his head to the door, and the death squad moved out in pairs, to being the slaughter.
