Selthia was scared to lose more big mutants now…
So Ren and Liora fully exploited that paralyzing fear.
They spent the next hour running leisurely aerial patrols around the capital, occasionally drifting out toward the mutant front lines. They never actually launched any big attack, that would have wasted the precious ether Ren was carefully hoarding, but they made sure their presence was felt.
It was pure psychological intimidation… Every single time a pack of corrupted beasts began to act bold and creep toward the outer ditches to test the perimeter, Ren and Liora would casually swoop out of the clouds nearby, and the entire corrupted line would instantly scramble backward in a panic.
The capital was entirely safe. It was not secured by the sheer thickness of its stone walls, but by the overwhelming terror that two human Tamers inspired simply by flying in circles.
