216 Attack in the Forest

"What is that!?" shouted Thokk as the ground rumbled beneath him. He bent his knees a little to steady himself, for the shaking was significant.

"Calm yourself, young one," said Goromir, and Kandak grunted.

The rest of the goblin swarm scrambled to alert, some of the less coordinated ones picking themselves up from the ground with quite the struggle, for the innards of the Vanguard shook tremendously. The fighter specimen known as Kui, however, simply stood with perfect balance, his arms crossed with his usual unamused expression.

"The Fortress Vanguard suffers attack," stated the Collector in its usual absolute calm. It began to link with the Vanguard's senses to see outside of its colossal body.

The Collector clicked its mandibles as it saw the scene outside.

Draconids.
