Draiss gave everyone a smile, before shaking his head. "Nope, just me and the thirty. Besides, give me a little credit, I have a number of tricks up my sleeve. And most of them don't even need a god for them."<br/><br/>He stood up, and turned the far wall into a view screen, showing the expected area of combat, as well as labeling several areas as points to watch. He labeled his personal entry area, nearly a thousand miles away from the area, to allow for a quiet insertion of himself to get a peek, another two areas were the specialists would deploy, both of them right in the middle of the worst of the defenses, causing anyone with an idea as to tactics to realize they were suicide units, and another portal area about half the distance between his entry area and the target where the squads would deploy.<br/><br/>He swung by the staging area, and put on his personal armor, and accepted several custom items that would be used if the situation required it, and briefed the twenty four Defenders and the three transports, over armored Hovertanks that didn't get a rail gun but had all five antipersonnel turrets. He finished the brief, and then imbued the troops with enough luck to make even a god of luck leery about gambling with them, before collecting two weapons, and using a spell to jump into the plane. The spell was a much more powerful portal spell, but it did not light up every detection spell on the plane like a portal would. It closed behind him, and he shifted his armor to be a bit more comfortable, changed the color to match the terrain, and put on his helmet. Once the HUD of the helmet displayed a successful integration with the armor, he took off running for the compound, eager to get the party started. There was a nearby mountain he was aiming for, which would give him a superior vantage point, and the rifle on his back would allow him to both view the compound and provide cover to the advancing troops.
