Fein nodded, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. He had expected nothing less from his shadow army.

Fein nodded again, his smile growing wider. "Excellent. And what of the devils? Did Balanar fall?"

The shadow lord lowered his head even further. "Yes, Master. Balanar was defeated. His arrogance proved to be his downfall."
