Veeza alone had the prowess of a battalion and thanks to her phylactery, she was nigh immortal.
Several units moved outside the city walls to surround the remaining human devices, to force the enemy to reveal their hand while the main undead force remained inside Dograth on standby.
It took Veeza a handful of seconds to get close to the open Gate enough to be able to attack it with her spells. The ground quaked as several tons of earth engulfed with purple flames started floating.
It was Veeza's tier five spell, Shooting Stars, a mix of fire, earth, and gravity magic. The detached ground split into giant flaming rocks that flew at near sonic speed against the human array.
