At the Empire's army camps, the situation was far less severe.
Although the soldiers there were similarly sleep-deprived and utterly exhausted, they didn't have to return to their tents after sunset and worry about assassins rising from the shadows and plunging a dagger into their necks.
They had been fighting the Union's soldiers for a long time on this battlefield. By now, they had a general understanding of their enemy's capabilities.
In the beginning, the Union had sent several Magi to raid silently at night. However, all of them had been dealt with. Proper contingencies had been put in place to deal with anything similar.
Moreover, they were very certain that the Union's assassin would never be on the level of the shadowkins. These devils could literally slip in and out of shadows, move vast distances unseen, and carry out assassinations.
Could the Union Magi do the same? Could any Magus on Tron do anything even remotely similar? The answer was clear to them.
